Disclaimer: I do not own anything that can be found remotely attached to anything from Gilmore Girls, although I do own some taped GG episodes…but I didn't make them up or something…
Okay first of all, Thanks sooo much for you reviews:D!
Second, so, when I wrote chapter four I had the name Sarah in my head as Dean's little sister, but then sunday when I already put the chapter on the net, I watched "That'll do, Pig", I realized that her name was actually Clara, but you can see the confusion since Sarah and Clara are very similar...so sorry about that.
Anyway, here's chapter 5.
Chapter Five
It's dark outside when Rory enters the house. She'd just been
wandering through town, not sure of what to do or where to go. She
kept being afraid that Dean would come to his senses and beat her
and/or Jess up or something.
After a while she just decided to go
home, and face her mom.
She softly closes the door behind her, and
goes to the living room, where she sees her mom on the couch and
Sookie with an arm around her shoulder, and a worried expression on
her face. In front of them there's Luke, pacing anxiously through
the room. They all look up, and Lorelai looks as if she'd been
crying. "Rory!" She yelps, and jumps up and rushes to her
daughter, taking her into her arms. "Oh my god, I was so worried!
Where were you? Are you okay?" She look at Rory, who just nods.
"Uhm, I told Dean." Rory says really softly and hoarse. She looks at her feet.
"You told Dean about Jess?" Lorelai asks.
Rory nods.
"Oh honey." Lorelai hugs her again, knowing this isn't the time to be angry at her daughter anymore. "Was it bad?" She asks a somewhat rhetorical question.
"I'm not sure."
Lorelai looks at her again.
"He got all pale, and he didn't say anything while I was just rambling like an idiot, blurting everything out, and he just closed the window and left, coz oh yeah I climbed the tree to go to the window coz his sister said he didn't want to see me."
Lorelai looks at her with worry and sympathy. She saw that this was all really rough for Rory. "Honey, you wanna get some sleep? We'll talk about this in the morning, when you'll feel a bit better."
Rory nods again, and walks to her room.
Lorelai sighs and turns to Sookie and Luke.
"God, poor thing." Sookie says with pity.
Luke starts pacing again. "That's it! That kid's gotta go!"
Lorelai looks up. "What?"
A shock goes through Rory, as she heard Luke say that from her room. He's sending Jess back? He can't, he won't…would he? If he would, she'd go with him, she decides.
"He's causing too much trouble! Look what kind of a mess he brought Rory in!" Luke goes on.
Sookie gets up. "You can't do that!"
Luke stops, and looks at her with a questioning expression. "What?"
"Luke, honey, God loves you for your coffee, but you're kind of an idiot." Lorelai chips in.
"Okay, remember how you hate Jess and wanted to kill him?" Luke asks with deepening disturbance.
"Hello, those two kids just got together, apparently Rory loves him otherwise she wouldn't have slept with him. So as much as I hate it, but he has to stay, otherwise Rory'll hate me for it forever." Lorelai says.
"You wouldn't want to be responsible for that right?" Sookie says.
Luke buries his face in his hands. "Fine!"
Rory lets out a sigh of relief, and slides back into bed.
"But you gotta let me punish him somehow."
"Oh sure, sure, knock yourself out." Lorelai says with a smirk.
Rory wakes up at five in the morning. She looks at the clock, realizing the earliness. She sighs and drops her head on the pillow. "Too early." She moans, and tries to go back to sleep. After 15 minutes of turning around over and over, she decides to get out.
In the kitchen she finds Lorelai, drinking a cup of coffee.
"Morning sunshine." She says cheerily.
Rory just stares at her. "Mom, do you even know what time it is?"
Lorelai sighs. "Yeah, but I woke up a little earlier than I planned to, and couldn't sleep anymore so I just decided to get up. Besides, what are you doing here?"
Rory smirks. "Same." She pours herself a cup of coffee.
Lorelai watches her carefully. "So…are we gonna talk about this?"
Rory sighs. "I was hoping to sorta put it off 'til later…but I guess…"
"Okay, and I promise we're gonna do it rationally, and calm, and no yelling or getting mad."
Rory nods. "Okay."
Lorelai takes a deep breath. "So…what happened?"
"Well…" Rory fidgets a little, not looking at Lorelai. "You mean with Jess?"
"Yeah, sure, start at the beginning. But no details about anything I don't wanna know about!"
"Well okay, I was just getting ready to make coffee and the tap broke off so I called Luke, but he was busy so he sent Jess, and we got into a fight sort of, and then he said that he was in love with me, and I wanted to say it back, but I just kissed him, and I gave him some books in my room and he kissed me again and well, I was so caught up in the moment and stuff that I sat down on the bed and you know…took his shirt off, and then other things happened…But it's not like I didn't want it to happen, but I kinda forgot about Dean…" Rory rambles, her face starting to get red.
Lorelai listens to the story a bit thrown. Her daughter, Rory, the
sweet little girl who was always so shy and nervous around boys,
actually started this? She couldn't help but smile a little, a
bittersweet smile nonetheless, at how grown up she had become. Sort
of…
"Okay, so you had the sex, and then what?"
Rory tells the rest of the story as fast as she can, hoping her mom won't yell at her again, and she'll understand.
When Rory's finished, Lorelai walks over to her, and hugs her tightly. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I was just a little very surprised and you know…it was all very unexpected."
Rory nods. "I know." She looks up at her mother. "So…we're okay now?"
Lorelai smiles. "Well, we still have to have a serious talk about you and Jess, but yeah, we're okay." She looks at the clock. "Oh, your story took a little longer than expected, and I promised Sookie I'd be at the Inn early today, so you okay with going to Luke's by yourself for breakfast?"
Rory smiles. "Sure." And she goes to her room to get dressed.
Rory is on her way to the diner when she hears a voice calling her name. She turns around and sees Lane running towards her.
"Rory." She says when she's caught up with her, and she catches her breath. When she's recovered she swats Rory on the arm.
"Hey!"
"You didn't tell me! Me, your best friend!"
"Oh…" Rory looks ashamed.
"I had to hear it from that girl Lindsay, who by the way seems very interested in Dean, who heard from Kirk, who heard from Babette!"
"Lindsay likes Dean?"
"Not the point Rory!" Lane seems upset.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Rory sighs, and she takes Lane to
a bench where they sit down.
"Okay, you want me to tell you
everything?"
"'til the last detail, well you know except for the groping part. And I'll even pretend to hear it all for the first time." A smile slowly appearing on her face.
Rory sighs again, and tells the whole story from Jess coming to fix
the tap to her telling Dean, frequently interrupted by 'What!'s
and 'Oh my god!'s from Lane.
When she's finished, she looks
at Lane who is grinning.
"Wow! This is so cool. I mean not so much the Dean part, that was bad and unfun for you, but just…wow!"
"I know." Rory's grinning too now, feeling a bit relieved.
"I mean no offence, but Jess is so much cooler than Dean, you know? He has that whole bad boy thing but in an interesting way. I mean Dean is all…you know, and Jess is more…you know?" Lane says.
Rory sighs. "I know."
"…I can't believe you had sex!" Lane suddenly exclaims. "So how was it?" She asks eagerly.
"Well…at first it was, painful, a bit, but then…it was nice. It was great." Rory blushes. She looks at her watch. "Hey can we go to Luke's? I'm starving and I need some coffee before I go to school." They get up and go to Luke's. "Oh hey Lane."
"Yeah?"
"If at school, you see Dean and Jess coming dangerously close to each other, could you make sure they…don't? I'm just a little afraid Dean might try to kill him."
"Sure, I will." Lane says, and they enter Luke's.
"Rory!" paris yells, as Rory walks through the halls of Chilton. She turns around.
"Paris."
"Are you busy?"
"Well, actually –"
"- Good." Paris cuts her off. "We're late with the Franklin! It's due next week, and we're still missing two articles!"
"Well Paris –"
"- So I've arranged a last minute Franklin meeting." Paris says, while she grabs Rory by the arm and drags her into a classroom, where all the other Franklin-members sit, looking annoyed. "Clear your schedule Gilmore, we're pulling an all-nighter." And she walks to the head of the table. "Alright people, we have much to do, and very little time!"
Rory rolls her eyes, and decides listening to Madeline and Louise whispering about their dates for this weekend is much more interesting than Paris' rant.
OOOOOOOOOOO
At 8 PM, when they're finally released, Rory walks out of the classroom, completely beat.
"Rory." Madeline says, and she and Louise come up to her.
Rory looks at them curiously as they look around, and lead Rory into a bathroom.
"You had sex." Louise says matter of factly when they close the door.
Rory's a little thrown by this. "Uh…h- how do you know?"
"It's all in the eyes, I can see it from miles away."
"Oh uh…"
"Well…" Louise nudges.
"Who was it?" Madeline asks.
"Was it that tall guy from the dance?"
"No, not Dean." Rory says, uncomfortably and turning red.
"Not? Well who then?" Louise pushes.
"Some guy, you don't know him. He lives in Stars Hallow."
"Oh, so he's boring then?"
"No! He's – he's not, he used to live in New York."
"Ooh, score!" Madeline says with a grin.
Rory looks confused. Why were they asking her all this? "Well, this had been fun…" Rory starts to walk away.
"Hold on!" They hold her back. "We need you to sign this." Madeline holds up a form and a pen.
"What's this?"
"It's an agreement where you officially shed your name as Mary." Louise says seriously.
"What? I thought that was just an annoying nickname!"
"No it's all very official."
Rory sighs annoyed. "Ugh, fine!" And she signs.
Louise holds out her hand. "Welcome to our side." She says, and Rory shakes her hand with a confused look.
The doorbell rings at the elder Gilmore residence.
"Julienne, get that please!" Emily orders the maid from the living room.
Rory enters. "Ah Rory!" her grandmother says delighted.
"Hey hon." Lorelai says, who sits on the couch.
"Hey. Sorry I couldn't make dinner. Paris kept us as prisoner all day."
"Yes, so you said on the phone." Emily says with a forgiving smile.
"Well, I think it's good that you're working so hard at school. Nothing wrong with a little extra exercise of the mind." Richard says, looking up from his paper.
"Well it was nice of you to stop by, even though it was after dinner time." Emily says, with a glance at Lorelai, who, she knows, never would have done the same.
Lorelai pats on the place next to her, and Rory sits down.
"So Rory, I take it everything progressed well with that school paper of yours?" Richards asks, folding his newspaper up.
"Oh yes it went fine, although Paris didn't seem to think so, but she's always exaggerating."
"Well that's good."
"Oh that reminds me, we're having a little party in two weeks." Emily says.
"The Chilton newspaper reminds you of having a party?" Lorelai asks with a frown.
Emily chooses to ignore that. "It's nothing big, only around sixty people are coming. Of course you two are invited too. Lorelai you can bring someone if you'd like." She says with a meaningful glare at her daughter. "And of course Rory you can bring that boyfriend of yours, Dean."
"Oh eh…" Rory exchanges a glance with her mother, who just nods a little. "Actually, grandma, I'm not uh, not with Dean anymore, we broke up."
"Well that's a shame!" Richard says almost convincingly.
Emily looks somewhat disappointed. "Well that's too bad, what happened?"
"eh, we just, grew apart, that's all."
"So, is there anyone new in sight?" Richard asks, suddenly sounding very chipper. "Someone from Chilton perhaps?" He adds hopeful.
"Yeah, but he's not…" She pauses. If she'd tell them, they probably would want to meet him, and she didn't think they were quite ready for that yet. "He's not interested." She decides to say.
"Well that's nonsense! Who wouldn't be interested in a beautiful girl like you?" Emily says insulted.
"Well, he's already got a girlfriend."
"Oh…that's too bad."
Lorelai shakes her head, as they drive back home. "I can't believe dad! The minute you said you and Dean broke up, he got all happy and excited, I mean, he could at least pretend to be sorry for you!"
"Well he never liked Dean." Rory says.
"The way he asked if you like someone from Chilton, as if that would make the guy any better!"
"Hey, speaking of Chilton, you'll never believe what happened to me today!" Rory says, happy to be able to change the subject.
Lorelai looks at Rory. "What?"
"Well after the Franklin meeting, Madeline and Louise dragged me into the bathrooms, where they made me sign this agreement that I wasn't to be called Mary anymore because I was you know…no longer a Mary-type-person."
Lorelai frowns. "So…they made you sign a contract because you had sex? Did they also teach you the secret handshake and give you the member-pass?" Lorelai laughs.
"They were all weird and official, and said like welcome to our side."
"What side is that? The one where they all get together and have big orgies?"
"Mom!"
"What? They did have you sign a contract about sex!"
"It wasn't a contract…more like, an acknowledgement." Rory says a little weirded out.
"Did you make sure to read the fine print, where it says you have to have sex at least twice a month in order to stay member?"
"Okay forget I brought it up!" Rory says, and they remain silent for a while.
"Or at least with two different guys a month?" Lorelai then says.
"Mom!"
"Sorry, I just had to get that one out."
Rory rolls her eyes, but can't hide the amused smile on her face.
Well that's all folks! Hope you weren't disappointed with anything, and please review.
Next chapter will very possibly maybe there's a slight chance that it will be up later today, since I don't have school tomorrow, so I can stay up all night :D
