Chapter 4: Finding the Truth
Rory arrives back at the house a few minutes before Lorelai and Paris do.
"Um, you can sit down, Paris." Lorelai says to Paris.
"Thank You, Miss Gilmore." Paris answers.
"Uh, Yeah." A distracted Lorelai answers. She knocks on Rory's door then walks in to find Rory lying in her bed, on her stomach. But no tears in her eyes. Lorelai walks over to her and sits on her bed. "You really were scaring me." Lorelai says sadly. Rory sits up looking at her mother.
"I know, and I'm sorry." Rory answers as Lorelai wraps an arm around her.
"Luke and Paris told me most of what happened. And they're worried about you." She says softly to Rory. Rory looks up.
"Paris? Worried? Yeah, right." She says a tear falling to her cheek, Paris exiting the house quietly.
~*~ The next day comes quickly and Rory finds herself standing outside Luke's staring through the window, Luke serving his customers. Lorelai stands beside her. "The coffee is inside, Babe," she says pulling Rory through the door with her over to the counter.
"I'm reporting you for child abuse." Rory says teasingly sticking her tongue out at Lorelai, Lorelai sticking her tongue out back. Luke walks over pouring their coffee. He looks at Rory as he poured. "I'm sorry," Rory mutters looking down at her coffee. Luke looks at her.
"I know," he says pouring Lorelai's coffee and walking away. "I have to get going." She says to her mother. She kisses her cheek takes her coffee and walks out.
~*~ At school, Paris keeps glancing at Rory as if, she was gonna snap at any minute. "I didn't mean anything by what I said before, Gilmore." She says to Rory at school.
"I know, but." Rory says then deciding not to explain quickly covers it up by saying, " I guess you didn't think I had it me, huh?"
Paris smiles. "I knew you had it in you somewhere. But what?" she asks looking concerned as Rory started to walk. She stops facing Paris a tear running down her cheek.
"Dean broke up with me. In Luke's. All the people that were in here last night, were in there when he broke up with me, so I kinda just." she trails off walking into her classroom, as the class was beginning.
~*~ The end of the day approaches and Rory finds herself outside of Luke's once again. Lorelai, beside her once more. "Come on, hun." She says. "You went in this morning."
"Yes but he wasn't in there." She says pointing to Jess who was wiping a table. Lorelai frowns but grips her daughters arm tightly dragging her in, sitting her down at the counter and sitting beside her no letting her go. "Ouch!" Rory yells getting Luke and Jess's attention. Lorelai lets go but says, "I'm buying you a leash, fido." Jess smirks and Luke walks over pouring their coffee. "Thank's Lukester!" Lorelai says going to take her coffee but Luke grabs it.
"What did you call me?" he asks.
"Lukester." Lorelai answer trying to grab her coffee back then goes for Rory's. Rory grabs it quickly taking a long sip. She pouts turning back to Luke.
"Promise to never call me that again or Mr. Coffee gets it." He says going over to the sink. Lorelai gasps.
"Okay! I promise!" she says as Luke gives it back. Jess walks over smiling.
"How sweet." He says straightly sitting on the back counter taking a book out of his back jean pocket and reading it.
"What is?" Lorelai and Luke ask in unison.
"You, Know, Uncle Luke. You and Lorelai. How sweet." He repeats. Lorelai and Luke smile at each other as does Jess and Rory. A first smile in a long time for Rory.
