It was the next morning, Dan still hadn't called. Thank God. Her mom
already left to work. Rory didn't tell her anything about Dan. It wasn't
that big of a deal anyway, but to her it was. Rory almost shrieked when the
phone rang. She had been sitting in the livingroom now for an hour and she
was scared to death that the phone would ring. And now it did. She
hestitated for a moment, then she got up and picked up the phone. He
couldn't hurt her over the phone.
R: "Hello?" she almost whispered.
Dean: "It's me. Dean"
Rory let a sigh of relieve.
R: "Dean"
Dean: "Yeah"
R: "It's good to hear your voice"
Dean: "I was wondering if I could talk to you"
R: "Sure"
Dean: "Is it okay if I pick you up in a few minutes?"
R: "Sure"
Dean: "Okay. Then I'll be right there"
R: "Yeah"
She hung up the phone and sat down on the couch. She didn't think she had ever been happier to hear Deans voice. She couldn't believe how incredibly scared she was that Dan would call. She wasn't sure what to say to him. Of course she knew that she didn't want to be with him, but she wasn't sure how to tell him. She thought she had been pretty clear yesterday, but apparantly not clear enough. What should she do now? What could she do to make him understand she didn't have feelings for him? She sighed and decided it was best not to think about it right now. She got up and walked into the hallway. She took a look in the mirror on the wall. She didn't look as bad as she felt. Thanks to a lot of make-up. She walked into the kitchen and took a glass. She filled it with water and took a few sips, then she emptied it in the sink. She was about to walk back into the livingroom when the doorbell rang. Rory walked to the door and opened it.
Dean: "Hey"
R: "Hey"
Rory immediately noticed the roses in his hands. Lots of them.
R: "Oh shouldn't have...."
Dean: "They're not mine"
R: "They're not?"
She stepped aside to let him in. He came in and handed her the flowers.
Dean: "No. I found them in front of the door"
R: "Oh"
They walked into the livingroom. Dan sat down on the couch. Rory looked at the flowers. Then she noticed a card. She opened it and had to catch her breath when she read it.
Dear Rory, Words can't say how much I love you, but I hope these rose will give you a pretty good idea.
Love, Dan
Rory wasn't sure how to react to this. This was going too far. He loved her? Yeah, right. What was wrong with this guy? She quickly put the roses on the table.
Dean: "Are you okay?"
Rory: "Did you read the card?"
Dean: "No.....who are they from?"
Rory quickly thought of an aswer. Everything was better than the truth.
Rory: ".....Just some guy my mom went on a date with a few days ago. Apparantly he really likes her"
Dean: "It's a nice gesture"
Rory: "Yeah, I guess it is"
Rory sat down on the couch next to Dean. She couldn't stop looking at the flowers. How did she get herself into this mess in the first place? She met Dan two days ago and he already said he loved her and sent her flowers. What was next? A marriage proposal?
Dean: "You wanna go for a walk?"
She looked at Dean.
R: "What?.......eeh...to be honest I wanna stay here"
Dean: "Okay, no problem"
Almost automatically her gaze went back to the flowers. She didn't wanna look at it any longer.
R: "Listen, I'll bring the flowers to the kitchen first and then we can talk, okay?"
Dean: "Sure"
Rory got up from the couch. She took the flowers and went into the kitchen. She noticed the garbage bag next to the door. Her mom wouldn't look in it when she put the garbage out. She opened the bag and threw in the flowers. She took the card and looked at in once more, then she threw it on the flowers. It didn't make her feel any better. She walked back into the livingroom and sat down again.
Dean: "Are you sure you're okay? You seem a little distracted"
R: "No, I'm fine. Great, even.......How's your face?"
Dean: "Better"
R: "Good"
Dean: "Yeah"
R: "So, what is it you wanted to talk about?"
Dean: "Us"
R: "What about us?"
Dean: "I wanna know if we're still together"
Rory looked at him.
R: "You don't think we are?"
Dean: "I don't know. I'm kinda confused since you're not talking to me anymore"
R: "I am talking to you"
Dean: "The other day at the diner you ignored me"
R: "No, I didn't ignore you. I was just a bit angry"
Dean: "Because I got in a fight with Jess?"
She nodded.
Dean: "I understand that"
Suddenly this all seemed so stupid. She had other things on her mind right now than to worry about who started the fight between Jess and Dean.
R: "But I'm not mad anymore"
Dean: "Good"
R: "Yeah"
She looked at Dean. She was so happy to be with him. She loved him. She really loved him. She wasn't sure if it was in the way a girl should love her boyfriend, but she didn't wanna think about that right now. She brought her hand to his cheek, then she kissed him. She closed her eyes. Dean immediately kissed her back. While they were kissing Rory felt a tear rolling down her cheek. Dean noticed it and stopped kissing her.
Dean: "Why are you crying?"
Rory wiped away the tear and shrugged.
R: "No reason"
She knew that wasn't true. She was just worried about the situation with Dan. About what she had to do now. It was pretty obvious this guy wasn't gonna give up.
Dean: "There must be a reason"
She tried to smile.
R: "Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just glad we're not fighting anymore"
Dean: "Me too"
Dean gave her a quick kiss, then he got up from the couch.
Dean: "I'm sorry, but I have to work"
R: "That's okay"
She got up and walked him to the door. Dean gave her another kiss. Then he opened the door.
Dean: "I'll call you"
Rory nodded. Dean left the house and Rory closed the door. She didn't wanna cry. Not because of something as stupid as this. She walked back into the livingroom. She wasn't sure what to do now. She wished she could just grab a book, sat down on her bed and read. To forget about all this, but she knew she couldn't. It wouldn't work. She needed this to be solved. The sooner the better. She was gonna talk to him. She was gonna explain to him that she didn't wanna be with him. That she couldn't be with him. The phone rang. This time she didn't hesitate before answering. If it was Dan, she was just gonna tell him how it was.
R: "Hello?"
Dan: "He didn't look hurt when he left, did he? I bet that is because he understands that we belong together"
R: "Dan!"
She suddenly realized he was watching her. How else did he know Dean had been here?
Dan: "You did tell him, right?"
Rory walked towards the window and looked outside. She searched the street for him, but she didn't see anything.
R: "Well,......."
Dan: "Come on, Rory. If we wanna be together....."
R: "Yeah see, that's the point"
Dan: "What do you mean?"
Rory felt so desperate. He was probably watching her right now. She knew he couldn't look in the house, but when she stood in front of the window like this......She took a few steps back. She was afraid to move.
Dan: "Are you still there?"
R: "I want you to leave me alone"
Dan: "You don't mean that"
R: "Believe me when I say I do"
Dan: "I understand this is all a bit difficult for you and it's hard for you to break up with Dean......."
R: "You don't understand it all" she interruped him.
Dan: "Calm down"
R: "No, I'm not gonna calm down. I want you to stop calling me. I want you to stop watching me and I want you to stop sending me flowers"
Dan: "You didn't like them?"
R: "You heard what I said, Dan. I don't wanna be with you. I want you to stay away from me"
Dan: "You're pretty when you get angry"
Rory didn't know if he could really see her or that he was just saying something, but this was too much. This was too creepy and it was going too far. Way too far. She hung up the phone and threw it on the couch. She took a deep breath. Then she walked to the frontdoor and opened it. She looked outside. The idea he could be watching her right now freaked her out. She stepped outside and closed the door behind her. Then she ran. As fast as she could. To the only person she could talk to about this..............
*** I know this is kind of a short chapter and I'm really sorry. Hope you understand it. I promise I'll update soon. Plz leave a review and let me know what you think of this so far. I guess it's all becoming a little darker than I expected, but I just thought something had to happen......Anyway, just tell me what you think and like I said I promise I'll update soon. Probably with a longer chapter. Nice-one ***
