Rory woke up to her mother screaming. When she opened her eyes, Lorelai
was standing over her. Lorelai was in the middle of an apparent freak out
session. Rory sat up slowly
R-"Mom! What are you doing?"
L-"Rory, oh my God! The Inn! I am opening an Inn!"
R-"I know mom."
L-"It just sunk in! I am opening an Inn! My dream! It's happening!"
Rory hugged her mother
R-"I know mom! Your dream!"
L-"This is big Ror!"
R-"I know! I'm so proud of you!"
L-"Thanks kiddo. Wait; aren't I supposed to be proud of you? Not the other way around?"
R-"Well at..." Rory looks a clock "7 o clock in the morning, the world is switched around, this is how the world is this early."
L-"Wow. Morning is weird!"
R-"Yes it is, and that is why we have avoided it at all costs."
L-"I knew there was a reason." Lorelai smiled at Rory. Rory smiled back at her mother.
L-"So, how did last night go?"
R-"Um..." Rory looked at her mother reluctantly.
R-"Well... I ran into Jess."
L-"Oh, how did that go?"
R-"I got mad and screamed something about me getting to leave this time, and started running away."
L-"What did he do?"
R-"He ran after me, telling me to stop running, so I did, and..."
L-"And what????"
R-"He...He said...He said he loved me."
Lorelai made a shocked face.
L-"He said he loved you??"
R-"Yeah!" Rory flung her arms in the air, trying to emphasize her surprise.
L-"Wait, did he say he loved you, or that he loves you?"
Rory thought for a second.
R-"Loves, he said 'I love you'."
L-"So he still loves you?"
R-"I guess."
L-"Do you love him?"
Rory stopped to think. She knew she loved him, but if she told her mother that, she could no longer deny it to herself. She would have to admit that she did love him, and that there was nothing she could do about it.
R-"I...I don't know. I think I do, but I don't want to."
L-"Hun, you cant choose who you love, you just do, Chris and I are proof of that."
R-"I know, but..." Rory searched for the right words "It seems so wrong, me loving him. I never pictured myself with someone like him; I pictured my self with someone like Dean."
L-"Someone like Dean, or someone who is Dean?"
R-"Like Dean."
L-"Hun, are you still hung up on Dean?"
Rorys face contorted. She shook her head.
R-"No, oh God no. I just... he was so good to me, and I dumber him, for a guy who hurt me. Dean didn't deserve that, he was so good."
L-"I know hun, but there is something about the bad boy, you can help it, it's like they are a force of nature. They suck you in, and you can't get free, and for the most part, you don't want to get free."
Rory knew he mother was right. She loved Jess. Rory Gilmore was in love with Jess. She wanted so badly to forget him. She remembered her dream. How good it had felt being in Jesses arms. She shook her head trying to shake the image out of her brain.
R-"Yeah, mom, what do I do?"
L-"Hun, I can't answer that for you, you have to decide for yourself."
Rory knew that, but she didn't want to have to think of that.
