Chapter 14: A Place for my Head
[Dean]
Dean walked into work at six o'clock in the morning. He hoped no one knew about his verbal battle with Rory. So far, no one stopped him on the street. He opened the door to Luke's and started taking chairs down. A few minutes later, Luke walked in and he looked really pissed off.
"What are you doing here?" Luke growled.
Whoa, Dean thought. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
"I'm working," Dean said. "That's the reason why you gave me the job."
"You think that's funny," Luke said. "So, you think being rude to people is funny."
"What?" Dean had no clue what was going on.
"You think you can just treat people like that?"
"Luke, what are you talking about?"
"I know what you said to Rory. You have a lot of nerve for talking to her that way."
What? Dean mentally screamed. I'm not entirely to blame. What about what she said to me?
"That's none of your business," Dean said.
"I live there now," Luke said, angrily. "Anything under that roof is my business."
"Well, not this," Dean shot back.
"You're fired!" Luke snarled.
"What?" Dean yelled. "Why?"
"When you apologize to Rory, you can come back," Luke said. "Until then, your fired."
Dean grabbed his jacket. "You know what?" Dean said, walking out. "I'm not coming back. I quit."
Dean was furious. Who the hell did Luke think he was prying his nose into his business? What happened between them was between them. Luke was in no way, shape, or form to get involved.
[Rory]
That afternoon, Rory went to the supermarket. She had taken another day off, but most of the food was gone. She didn't want to order in so she volunteered to do the food shopping. When she grabbed a carton of milk, she realized that someone else had grabbed it. That someone was Lindsay.
"Oh," Rory said, chuckling. "Hi."
"Hi," Lindsay said, stiffly.
"I guess this is yours," Rory said, letting go of the milk.
"I guess so," Lindsay said, not looking at her.
She walked away from the dairy down the cereal isle. Rory sighed. Lindsay still hated her. It was so obvious. She needed to make amends. Rory followed her.
"Lindsay," Rory said. "I'm sorry about what I did with Dean four years ago. I wasn't thinking clearly. It was nothing against you. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Oh, you shouldn't worry about me," Lindsay said, sarcastically. "I mean, I obviously don't have feelings. I should've been the one to get a job instead of Dean dropping out of college to work eighteen hours a day. I just sit at home and do nothing."
Rory sighed. That sounded a lot like what Rory said about Lindsay four years ago when she found out that Dean dropped out of college to work and buy a townhouse.
"I'm sorry about that, too," Rory said.
"Are you going to sleep with Noah if we get married?" Lindsay asked.
"What?" Rory was appalled. "No."
"It seems that I have a thing for your ex's," Lindsay continued. "I'm always second fiddle to them."
"Not to Noah," Rory said. "You've known him longer than I have. You have to understand, Lindsay. Dean was my first everything. Kiss, relationship, crush, and.......you know."
"You rejected him," Lindsay said. "And he picked me, but obviously he was on the rebound."
Lindsay took her stuff to the checkout counter. Rory followed.
"Lindsay," Rory said. "I'm sorry."
Lindsay exhaled and turned to Rory as her groceries were being bagged.
"Are you with him now?" Lindsay asked.
"Who?" Rory asked.
"Dean," Lindsay said.
Rory sighed. She could say yes to Lindsay, but that would be dishonest.
"No," Rory said.
"So, you guys never had plans to get back together?" Lindsay asked.
"No."
"Typical."
Lindsay grabbed her groceries and walked outside. Rory sighed and followed her.
"What do you mean by typical?" Rory asked.
"The guys you picked are only good for a certain time frame," Lindsay said. "And then you get sick of them and toss them."
"What?" Rory said. "That's not true!"
"Well, your not with Dean now," Lindsay said. "Whatever guy I go out with, he's already been with you and he would rather be with you than with me."
Lindsay's eyes filled up with tears and she turned around. Her shoulders shook. She was crying. Rory felt a lump rise to her throat.
"Look, Lindsay," Rory said. "I'm sorry for what I did. I feel really bad about it. We were friends in high school. I don't want things to be bad between us."
Lindsay turned around with a single tear trickling down her cheek.
"You should've thought about that before you slept with my husband," Lindsay said, her voice breaking. "And think about it before you sleep with Noah."
Lindsay turned on her heel and walked away. Rory felt horrible. It was a good thing she didn't know about the fight between her and Dean. But, at the same time she was angry. Who did Lindsay think she was saying that she only appreciated her boyfriends for a short period of time? And who said Rory was going to sleep with Noah?
Rory wasn't going back inside Doose's now. She got in her car and drove to Hartford to buy her groceries.

To Be Continued.....
A/N: I know that was pointless. I wasn't trying to make Lindsay look like a bitch. I think that's how a person would talk to the person who broke up their marriage. Chapter 15 is coming soon.
