I started running as fast as I could without knowing where I was going. Love had hit me hard and I didn't know how to handle it. This was something that I couldn't take lightly, partly because love is a big thing for me. It's like a part of a girl's inner soul. Part of me likes romantic movies and just holding hands. The other part of me is shy and quit who at times, is scared of love. It's these times that make me scared. The times that you realize who you are close to and who you want to be with forever. So that is why I decided to get on the bus leaving Star's Hollow. I needed time to think and time to talk to someone who had years of experience to help me in this situation. Even though I adored my mother, this was a time needed for contemplation. So, after climbing on the bus and taking a window seat I dialed the familiar number of my house. In a few rings, my mother picked up.

Lorelai: Hello?

Rory: I'm on the bus.

Lorelai: Rory? Honey where are you? What's happening?

Rory: Don't panic. I'm just going to spend the night with (thinks) Paris. I need some girl time. You know just to hang out.

Lorelai: You don't need any change of clothes or even an overnight bag? How about your cute pink toothbrush? The one with the rhinestones that I-

Rory: Mom. All we are going to do is hang out and talk. It was a last minute plan, a spur of the moment thing. I'll be home early tomorrow morning. I'll even treat you to a cup of coffee.

Lorelai: Well, if coffee's in it for me, you can go. But don't do anything I would do.

Rory: Mom. It's just Paris. The only exciting we'll be doing is watching the Discovery Channel.

Lorelai: (confused) Oh. Well. Have fun.

Rory: Bye.

I couldn't believed I had just lied to my mother. The one person who should know where I was going I had just lied to. The problem was, I couldn't tell her where I was going or who I was going to talk to. At that moment my cell phone rang. Looking at the caller id, I saw that it was Jess. My insides did a flip flop, but I couldn't talk to him right now. I had somewhere to be. Someone to talk to who would judge me endlessly but know in the end the right way to deal with this. Looking down at my cell phone as the ringing had stopped I noticed that Jess had left a voicemail. Listening to it made my whole body feel warm inside:

Jess: Hey Rory. It's Jess. Listen I don't know what happened last night. All I know is that you seemed upset and I don't want you to be. I love you Rory and I hope you know that. Call me.

Just a little message like that made me feel so wonderful. I just don't know why I felt the way I did. The bus came to a stop and I got off. Walking down the perfectly landscaped street I started to run. I liked the feeling of the wind through my hair and just concentrating on getting to where I was going. I came to a halt and stared up. I was finally here. Walking up the driveway and up the front porch I rang the doorbell. The door swung open.

Rory: Hi Grandma.
