Rory went outside to her mother's room. Tears swelled her eyes. She
knocked on the door. Lorelai answered. As soon as she did, the tears
started to fall. Lorelai took Rory into the room and hugged her while she
sobbed on her shoulder.
"Honey, what happened?" asked Lorelai.
"Dean and I.," Rory trailed off.
"What? Tell me. It can't be that bad."
"Dean and I slept together last night."
Lorelai hugged Rory as she sobbed on her shoulder.
"Well, that's a good thing," said Lorelai. "Are you upset because you think you might be pregnant? Because that's fine. You're 21. You just graduated from college. You already have a career. You can't drop out of school now. Trust me. You are ready to have a baby."
"Having a baby is the last thing that's making me upset," said Rory.
"Well, then what is?"
"What happened last night was rebound sex."
"What?"
"Lindsay calls and says she needs to talk to Dean and he just starts rushing to get out of the room. He doesn't love me. He would rather be with her and she would rather be with him."
"Oh, honey. I'm sorry."
Rory threw herself on to the bed. Lorelai rubbed her back."
"I love him," Rory sobbed into the pillow. "And he doesn't love me."
"I know, sweetie," said Lorelai.
MEANWHILE
Lindsay told Dean to meet him outside the Town Hall where the divorce meeting would be held. Lindsay was sitting on the steps waiting for him when he arrived.
"Hi," said Lindsay.
"Okay, what did you want to talk to me about that couldn't wait?" asked Dean.
"I don't think we should get divorced," said Lindsay.
"What?"
"Look, being with Clay was a huge mistake."
"Who's Clay?"
"The guy I-"
"Right."
"Anyway, after seeing you with Rory, I realized how much I love you. I don't want a divorce, Dean. I want to be with you."
Before Dean could say anything, Lindsay kissed him. Dean felt nothing. No electricity or heat that he felt with Rory last night. Suddenly it all hit him. Lindsay was jealous of Rory and always had been. She didn't want to lose him to Rory.
"Lindsay, you are such a liar," said Dean.
"What?" Lindsay was shocked.
"You can't fool me," said Dean. "You're jealous of Rory. You don't want me to go back to her."
"Yes, fine," said Lindsay. "You got me. I know the both of us wouldn't be happy if we stayed together, but it's Rory. The only girl who you felt committed to. Do you know how hard it is to see you with her?"
"What about you and Colin?"
"His name is Clay."
"Whatever. Look, things happened between Rory and me last night. I think I lost her, but I just can't stay married to you. I'm sorry."
Lindsay stood there for a moment. Dean could tell she was processing the whole thing.
"Yeah, you're right," she said, finally. "What matters is that both of us are happy and if we stay together, then we'll be unhappy."
"I'm sorry," said Dean.
"Me, too."
The meeting went well. Both Dean and Lindsay got what they wanted. Afterwards, they wish each other well and then went their separate ways. Dean spent the whole day walking around town thinking about the past 24 hours. I have to figure out a way to show Rory how much she means to me. He looked at his watch. It was 5:00. He looked up at the sky. The sun was disappearing behind the trees. Suddenly, Dean was struck with an idea. He quickly whipped out his cell phone.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Pretty boring I know, but oh well. Chapter 6 is coming soon.
