Chapter 2: The Door Sticks
Lindsay and Rory chatted in the kitchen, but not for very long. A guy she liked had asked her to dance, so she was still dancing with the guy, Lane and Dave were sitting alone talkingm and Rory was left all alone by the punchbowl. She decided to walk around the house a little bit. She noticed that Dean was sitting on the stairs. I hope he's not still mad at me, Rory thought.
"Hey, Dean," said Rory.
Dean looked in her direction and an angry expression crossed his face. He got up and walked upstairs. Rory sighed and walked upstairs. This has gone on long enough, Rory thought, walking up the stairs. There were two bathrooms. The door stuck in one of them so you always had to keep it open.
When she saw Dean about to head down the hall and back downstairs she hid in one. When he passed she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the bathroom and shut the door.
"Rory, what are you doing?" Dean asked.
"This has gone on long enough," said Rory.
"What?"
"Could you just get over yourself? I'm sorry that I like Jess and I've been messing with your head, but I didn't mean to. This wasn't my intention. Stop being mad at me."
"Rory, I can't just stop being mad at once. I love, I MEAN LOVED you and yet you didn't love me. What got me angry the most was that you kissed him behind my back."
"What are you talking about?"
"Sookie's wedding."
Rory's face paled. She had never told him about that. She was hoping he never would know.
"Who told you?" Rory asked.
"I heard you and Jess fighting a week after you got back from Washington D.C. in the market. Did you forget that I work there?"
"No."
"I just assumed he came on to you, but now I guess not. You messed with me and you cheated on me. It's going to take a while for me to forget that and stop being angry with you. But, now you need to leave me alone. Entirely."
"So what are you saying? You're just going to cut me out of your life entirely?"
Rory's eyes swelled with tears. Please say no, thought Rory. Please say you still want me in you life.
"For a while," Dean said.
"Fine," said Rory, trying to choke back a sob. "You do that."
She stepped aside so Dean could get to the door. Rory slumped down and buried her face into her hands. She heard the doorknob rattle.
"Did you lock the door?" Dean asked.
"No," said Rory. "Besides, if I did, you'd be able to let yourself out."
"Well, I can't get out."
"WHAT?"
Rory sprang up and ran to the door. She tried to open the door, but it would budge.
"Oh, no!" Rory cried. "I forgot! This is the bathroom where the door sticks!"
"The door sticks?" Dean was not happy.
"Yes."
Rory and Dean started banging on the door.
"LINDSAY!" Rory yelled. "LANE! DAVE! SOMEBODY! OPEN THE DOOR!"
