Chapter 5

Rory woke up feeling sleepless. She didn't know that what happened earlier was real or not. She walked out of her bedroom and saw Max sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and his head down, staring at it. Now she knew that what happened was real. She knew that Lorelai had already told him that she did not want to get married anymore. She could just tell by the way that he stared at his coffee.

"Max..." Rory said hesitantly. "How are you today?" She thought that would be a good opening line.

"Your mom called off the wedding. She said that she didn't want to get married and ran off so I couldn't tell her how I felt." Max said.

"Oh, im so sorry." Rory said as sadly as she could. That's when Max all of a sudden broke down. Rory had never seen Max cry before. She didn't know what to do. She has never comforted a man that was rejected by her mother before.

"Come here, Max" That when she hugged him as tight as she could. She knew that was the only thing she could do for him now.

"Why don't you go for a long walk and come back and we'll talk." Rory suggested.

"Thanks Rory. But I have to get to work. Do you want a ride? I can give you one if you want. I'm going there. It would be nice to have someone in the car while I drive." Max said looking at Rory.

"Um..Sure why not. Just give me a couple of minutes and I will be ready."

Rory got up and went into her bedroom. Trying to feel as sympathetic for Max as she could she couldn't help but whisper. "Yes". She wanted Lorelai and Luke to be together ever since she met him. She knew that she liked him for a long time, but she never showed it and the same thing with Luke. Now they have a chance to make it right.
