Disclaimer: Of course Gilmore Girls is one of the best shows on TV!...But alas, it's not mine...
Aftermath – Chapter 2
What was I thinking? Rory wondered to herself. It had been about half an hour since her mom had left to return to the inn. Rory was lying on the couch feeling crappy. She had wanted to go back to the inn, really she did. She wanted to support her mom...but she couldn't. What if Dean was there? What if Lindsey was there?
Rory knew what she did was wrong. Terribly wrong. And now she'd have to face what would happen. She had just gotten so caught up in the moment. Dean was there and things were perfect...Well, almost. Now she saw that everything was a mess.
Part of Rory wanted to pick up the phone and try to call Dean. To tell him what happened was wrong. Yet, it felt right. She SHOULD be with Dean...right? Dean was my first boyfriend, my first love, Rory thought. How could she forget him?
But how could she be with someone who cheated on his wife for her?
Luke turned and headed back upstairs, not wanting to stay and see the rest of Lorelai and Jason. As soon as their lips touched, he knew things were over before they started for him and Lorelai. He wanted to be with her so much, and their earlier kiss had really meant something for him. He sighed and went slowly back up to his room, closed the door, and tried to forget about it.
Downstairs, Lorelai was caught off guard by the sudden kiss from Jason. She pulled away after a couple of seconds. "Wh-what are you doing?" she stuttered.
"Well, you see, when two people—"
"That was rhetorical," she interjected. "Jason, I told you, I just don't think we should be together..."
"Why?" he asked getting irritated. He stepped back and stared at her confused. "And give me a reason this time, I'm serious. Lorelai, we're good together. We're better than that, we're great...And we had fun while we were together. Right?" Lorelai nodded numbly. "So what's the problem?"
Lorelai looked away. "Look. This just...isn't the time and yes, we did have fun but times pass, right?" She shrugged, knowing that that wasn't a good answer.
"Times pass. That's your answer," Jason said skeptically. "Come on, admit it, there's some other reason you don't want to be with me. I've already withdrawn my lawsuit, so what is it? Am I not the right height? Is it because I don't own any pets? Or, I dunno, is there someone else?!" There was an awkward silence. "That's it, isn't it? There's someone else," Jason said defeated.
"No," Lorelai said slowly. "I...I don't know. Listen, your height is fine, I'm not too big a fan of pets...Actually, their not that big a fan of me, and if there was someone else I would've said so." Lorelai knew that wasn't true. Her mind wandered back to the earlier kiss with Luke. But she didn't know if she wanted to tell Jason about it because...Well, she didn't want to admit it, but maybe she did still have feelings for Jason. But she had ended it for more than one reason, and she couldn't be with him again.
"So that's it?" he asked. Lorelai remained silent. "Then I'm not giving up." Lorelai looked at him. "Lorelai, I love you." He stopped, wanting to say more. But he just smiled at her and left.
Lorelai stood rooted to her spot. What was she going to do? She didn't know if she still loved Jason, but she had been with him for a long time...It was the first relationship she felt comfortable in since Max.
Still confused, she decided to sleep on it. As she headed upstairs, she passed by the room she knew was Luke's. She could see some light through the crack at the bottom of the door. Was he still up? She walked closer to his door. She wanted to talk to him, but was unsure. How was he reacting to the kiss? How was SHE going to react when she saw him? What would she say? Lorelai felt nervous.
Inside, Luke was sitting on the bed, his head in his hands. He didn't know what to do. If Lorelai was back with Jason, then that kiss really hadn't meant anything to her...But now she knew how he felt. What would he say to her? But he had to something. He got up and headed for the door. His hand reached for the doorknob...
Aw, what the hell am I doing? Luke wondered. He stopped directly in front of the door. He let go of the doorknob. Maybe another day, but maybe tonight he should just try and get some sleep. He stood there staring at the closed door for a long time.
On the other side, Lorelai raised her hand to knock, but stopped. Maybe this could wait until tomorrow...She dropped her arm to her side and stood staring at the door as lost as the man on the other side of it.
