Chapter 3-Happy Belated Graduation

"Oh my God! Where did you get this?" My mom asked excitedly. I guess that means she likes it.

"A record store in New York." I didn't mention that it was the same record store I got the other one from. She would have wondered why I was there. She didn't ask why I was in New York, though. I don't know why, but she didn't. Instead, she got out her record player and put the record in. I didn't know that we had a record player, which is kind of weird considering I bought my mom a record for her graduation. It didn't really occur to me that we would need one in order to play the record. I wonder why.

She started dancing. I've never seen anyone dance like my mom dances. She has a very unique dancing style. And not in a bad way. As I sit here watching my mom dance, I think about the only time I ever really danced. It was in my dream. It was when Jess and I first got together. I'm putting a big effort into not crying right now. I can't help but think that if he hadn't left, we'd still be together. We would have worked things out. We would have gotten over the whole party thing. We would have figured out his whole school situation. We would have talked to Luke and gotten him to reconsider his decision to kick Jess out. We would be together right now. And we'd be in love. And my cell phone wouldn't be ringing right now and flashing the word 'Logan' in my face.

I gasped. I had totally forgotten that I left Logan in my dorm in the middle of the night. Mom stopped dancing and looked over at me, but I just looked down and answered my phone.

"Hello?" I really didn't feel like talking to him right now.

"Where the hell did you go, Ace?" he didn't sound very angry, just curious. And a little amused.

"Sorry. My friend Lane called in Stars Hollow. She had a big emergency and needed me to come help her. I didn't have time to leave a note." I lied, avoiding my mother's gaze. I know I shouldn't be lying. Me of all people. The person who always said "yay" to an honest relationship. But I couldn't very well tell him that I went to New York to see my ex-boyfriend. And especially not in front of my mom.

"It's fine. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine. The problem has been solved."

"Okay, good. Well, I'm still in your dorm. Paris isn't still isn't here."

"She went somewhere with Doyle for the weekend."

"Oh. There was a guy here looking for you. I don't remember his name. He left in a hurry, though."

My eyes widened. That's probably why he's still at my dorm. He probably thinks the guy is going to come back. Which isn't good because I just know the guy is Jess. It has to be. There's no other guy that would be at my dorm looking for me that I can think of. Except for Marty. But we haven't talked in a while so I think it's safe to say that it's not him. I don't know why Jess would be at my dorm. But I do know that he's going to come back. And when he does, Logan can't be there.

"Oh, really? Well I'm going to head back to Yale now so you can go back to your dorm."

"No, it's okay. I was thinking I could take you out to breakfast." I sighed. He always wanted to go out.

"Actually, Logan, I'm really tired. I just want to crawl into bed." That wasn't a lie. I did want to crawl into bed.

"Okay. I'll see you later then, I guess."

"Okay. Bye." I hang my phone up quickly.

When I look up, my mom is starring at me.

"What?" I ask, even though I know exactly why she's starring at me.

"You left him in the middle of the night?" It sounded so bad when she said it.

"Well, yeah. But it was for a totally good reason." Okay, that's a lie. It was for a horrible reason. But she didn't have to know that.

"Is Lane really that totally good reason?" I gulped. I hate lying to my mom, but sometimes it's necessary.

"Yes. She had a fight with Zach."

"Oh. Everything's fine now?"

"Yeah, everything's fine now. I'm going to head back to Yale. "

"Okay. Love you, Hun."

"Love you too. Bye." I kiss her cheek and walk out the door.

On my way back to Yale, I called Lane. She agreed to tell my mom that she got into a fight with Zach and called me to make her feel better if my mom asked about it. When I get to Yale, I start wondering how Jess knew where my dorm was. I moved from last year. Maybe Luke told him. I reach my dorm room door, and I want to walk away.

There sits Jess, reading a book and smoking a cigarette.
