Chapter 7

Lorelai was depressed. Very depressed. Very, Very Depressed. She had lost way too much in one night.

When she got home, she unlocked the door quietly so she would not wake up Rory. When she walked in the door she heard a

"MOM?" coming from the kitchen.

"Rory? What the hell are you doing up already?" Lorelai asked.

"Well, you did not come home and I was worried and both you and Max's cell phones were off." Rory said.

Lorelai cringed at the thought of Max Medina. 'Uhhhg that...man!' "Oh, well it was a fun night, you know, the party..." she stopped when she saw Dean sleeping on Rory's bed. "What the hell is he doing here? Rory, Oh my God, please tell me that you didn't."

"No, Mom, it's okay. He said he would stay with me because I didn't know where you were, and he fell asleep. We were hanging out in my room and he just passed out. Nothing to worry about." Rory said.

"Oh." she took a breathe, "Good. Well I'm tired, so I think I will get some rest."

"Wait, mom. Why are you home so late?" Rory asked.

Lorelai froze. 'Damn, I thought she would fall for the party thing.' Then she realized, that Rory never lied to her. She tells her everything. 'Crap, I gotta tell her.'

"Ok. Max and I broke up tonight." Lorelai confessed.

Rory's smile faded as she reached for her coffee. "Why?"

Lorelai took a deep breath and said, "I kissed Luke." Lorelai braced herself for Rory's reaction who, to Lorelai's surprise, did not react badly.

"Oh." Rory said.

Lorelai was confused. "Thats all you have to say. Maybe you didn't hear me. I KISSED LUKE!"

"I heard you," Rory said, "I knew it would have to happen eventually. You are perfect for each other."

"Haha. No we aren't. We are best friend but, I don't even think that he was interested in me? I just didn't get that vibe." Lorelai said.

"Mom..Luke has been in love with you ever since he met you. He's always flirting with you!" Rory chuckled.

"No he's not!" Lorelai said smiling. 'Luke loves me!' she thought.

"So..how did Max find out that you kissed Luke?" Rory questioned.

Lorelai moved around uncomfortably, "He say us."

"Oh, God. Was he mad?" Rory said.

"Hmmm...YEAH! He was furious. I went back to his apartment after I left the party and broke it off. He asked for the ring back!" Lorelai said.

Rory laughed, "Oh my God, he is such a...loser."

"Yeah, well. I don't know. I don't even think that he's into me, I asked him."

'OH Jesus.' Rory thought. "What do you mean you asked him?" Rory asked.

"Actually..I kinda accused him of being in love with me." Lorelai all of a sudden remembered what had happened and was sad again.

"And..? What did he say?" Rory quickly asked.

"He said 'no'." Lorelai said in her depressed state once again.

"Well, he was probably just lying. Everybody knows he's into you." Rory said, confidently.

"He said we could talk about it after we got some rest. But I want to know now!" Lorelai whined.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go." Rory said

"I dont think..." Lorelai said before she was interupted."GO!" Rory said.

"Okay Okay. I'll go." Lorelai said heading to the door.

"Good Luck!" Rory said to a running lOrelai.

Lorelai reached the diner out of breathe. She looked in the window to the closed diner and grabbed the secret key. 'He really needs to find a new place for this dumb thing.' she thought. She opened the door to Luke with his head in his hands.

"Luke?" She said.
