"I can't do this!" I said as I flung the phone onto my bed. Paris sighed.
"Did he answer?" she asked me.
"Yes." I said. She shook her head at me.
"Rory, its not that hard. You call him, tell him its over, and hang up. See, simple!" I glared at her.
"I can't break up with him over the phone! That's mean!" she rolled her eyes.
"Yes, and cheating on him wasn't mean at all." Gee, thanks Paris.
"Okay, yes, that was mean. But that's why I can't break up with him over the phone. I mean, the least I could do is let him down in person."
"Trust me, it'd be so much better if you break up with him over the phone. That way you don't have to watch his reaction." Okay, cruel! Poor Jamie.
"Paris, I'm not breaking up with him over the phone!" she shrugged. She really is heartless.
"Suit yourself." She said before walking out of my room. What a great help she was. I took a deep breath before picking up the phone and dialing his number again.
"He better be gone." he said. Wow, he sure knows how to greet people.
"Why, hello Logan. How nice of you to answer your phone in such a polite manner."
"Rory." He warned. I hate when he does that. Actually, now that I think about, a lot of the things he does bug me. I don't think I'm going to miss him all that much.
"We need to talk." Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have said that exact phrase. But at least now he has a little warning.
"I don't like the sound of that." I sighed.
"Can you just meet me by the coffee cart in, like, ten minutes?" I asked. I just want to get this over with.
"Fine!" he huffed before hanging up. I grabbed my coat and walked out of my dorm.
-----------------------
"I'm breaking up with you." This is the first thing that Logan said to me when I got to the coffee cart. I didn't even make it to the cart, actually. I was about a yard away when he saw me and walked over looking all put out. I stared at him. He's obviously never broken up with someone before.
"Are you kidding me?" Jerk! You don't break up with someone just because you know they're going to break up with you.
" You're the one who was going to break up with me. I decided to beat you to it." I stared at him. He has to be joking.
"Logan…" I started, but then I got really angry.
"You can't do that! That's not how it works. You're going to break up with me so you won't have to be embarrassed that you're the one who got dumped. Well, I'm sorry, but I'm the one who's going to break up with you. So…bye Logan. Have a great life." I turned on my heel and stormed back to my dorm.
I grabbed a bag when I got back and started shoving clothes into it. I can't believe he was going to do that! You know what? I'm not going to miss him at all. I'm glad we're not together anymore. I mean, he's such a jerk! I can't believe I've never noticed it before. I shook my head as a grabbed my black converse shoes and stuffed them in my bag.
"Damn Logan." I said before heading out the door.
-----------------------
"Mom!" I yelled when I got home. I hadn't even thought about how my mom would react to all of this until I pulled up in the driveway. She's not going to like this. Not one bit will she like this.
"Mom!" I yelled again.
"Kitchen!" I heard her yell. I put my bag by the closet and took my coat off. I walked into the kitchen to find my mom sitting at the table with about 4 cookbooks in front of her. I rolled my eyes.
"You know, you have Luke for all that stuff now. You don't have to risk burning the house down." I told her. She looked up and smiled.
"Ah, but what is life without risks?" she asked.
"Far less complicated." I replied.
"But complications and risks are what make life exciting. Where would we be without those two things?" I sighed.
"Not where I am." I said. She looked at me strangely.
"Hey, weren't you just here a few hours ago?" she asked me. I nodded.
"What are you doing back here then?" She's going to freak out! She's going to absolutely hate this. What am I supposed to tell her?
"I just thought I would come down for a few days." I said. Well, it's the truth. Sort of.
"A few days? Don't you have classes?" she asked. To be honest, I hadn't thought about that. I missed all my classes today. But its not like I'll get killed if I miss two days of school. I'll go back tomorrow night.
"Well, yeah. But I have to take tomorrow off. Personal day." She raised her eyebrows.
"Personal day? Why do you need a personal day?" okay, how should I start this? Should I just jump right in and say Logan and I broke up and jess and I are back together? Or would that be too blunt? Maybe I'll start from the beginning.
"Well, I've been having dreams lately…" she gasped.
"You mean you haven't been having dreams before?" ugh mom please!
"Mom!"
"Okay, okay sorry. So you've been having dreams lately…" I nodded.
"Yeah, um, about…Jess." she froze. I'm not kidding. She actually stopped moving. It's not that big a deal. Well, that part isn't, anyway.
"You've been having dreams about Jess? Why have you been having dreams about Jess? You're over him." I sighed.
"I never said I was over him." her eyes widened.
"Wait! Are you telling me you're not over him?" she asked. I nodded.
"That's basically what I'm getting at." She let out a breath.
"Wow, um, okay. Uh, how not over him are you?"
"What?"
"How do you feel about him?" I couldn't keep a small smile off my face.
"Do you really want an answer to that question?" she hesitated before taking a deep breath and nodding.
"Yes."
"I'm in love with him." my smile grew bigger when I said this. My mom looked…well, she looked a lot of things. Mainly, she looked confused.
"Hun, are you sure? I mean, you haven't seen him since he told you he loved you." Since he told me he loved me? Oh, yeah. I didn't tell my mom that he asked me to come away with him. Why didn't I tell her? I can't for the life of me remember. Well, I might as well tell her now.
"Um, actually, I saw him after his mom's wedding." Now she looked even more confused.
"Wait, what are you talking about?" she asked. I took a deep breath.
"He came to my dorm." Her eyes widened again.
"He came to your dorm?"
"Yeah. He, um…he asked me to run away with him." her jaw dropped. She was totally shocked. And I don't really blame her. I mean, jess isn't the kind of guy who asks girls to run away with him. He doesn't just do things like that. So its kind of understandable that my moms chin is now touching the tabletop.
"He asked you to run away with him? Oh my God! What did you say?" I rolled my eyes.
"What do you think I said?"
"Um…-
"Mom!"
"Okay, jeez! So you said no and now you're having dreams about him and you're in love with him?"
"No. The dreams just started but I've been in love with him for awhile."
"How long's awhile?" I looked down. I haven't told anyone this, not even Lane.
"Um, since we started dating 3 years ago." I heard a large intake of breath and looked up. Her hand was covering her mouth.
"Rory, how come I didn't know this?" she asked me. I shrugged.
"Well, Rory, this isn't good! You're in love with a guy who lives God only knows where and is totally undependable."
"He's moving back to Stars Hollow tomorrow." Her eyes boggled.
"He's what?"
"Moving back to Stars Hollow tomorrow." Her jaw dropped again.
"How do you know this?"
"He told me." She blinked.
"What? When did he tell you that?"
"Um, about an hour and a half ago." Her eyes widened.
"You saw him an hour and a half ago? Rory, you really have to fill me in here." I sighed.
"Okay, remember today when I brought you that go gos record?" I asked her. She nodded.
"Well, I got it in New York. That's where I went when I left Logan in the middle of the night." Her eyes got wider.
"Rory! You left your boyfriend in the middle of the night to go to New York? Why would you do that?" I bit my lip.
"Because I had a dream about Jess last night and it was the fourth time I dreamt about him so I wanted to go to New York to, well…"
"What? To what?"
"To sort of relive the day I went to New York to see him. Relive it in my mind, I mean." She looked confused.
"When you went to new York to see him?"
"Yeah, remember? I missed your graduation." She remembered and she glared at me.
"Oh, yeah," she said bitterly, "well, go on."
"Okay. So I went to Washington Square Park because that's where I found him 4 years ago. But he was there so he couldn't stay."
"Okay…" she was trying to follow. She was probably really confused.
"So I started to leave but then I saw the record store and was going to go in to get you your record but he found me. I don't really know how but somehow we ended up going into the record store together." She squinted one eye, still trying to follow.
"Uh huh…"
"So when I got back to my dorm after coming here, he was there. So we started fighting publicly and, Long story short, I broke up with Logan and Jess and I are back together." Her jaw dropped yet again.
"You and Jess are back together?" I nodded.
"I…um…you… um, you know what I'll keep my comments to myself." I smiled.
"Thank you."
"But you-"
"Mom, I really don't want to talk about this right now. Later, please?" she sighed.
"Fine. But, are you happy?" I smiled.
"Yes. I'm very happy."
"Well, then, I'm happy too." We smiled at each other and went into the living room to pick out a movie.
A/n OH MY GOD! Ok has ne one seen the previews for the new episodes of Gilmore girls? Rory and jess are gonna kiss! Well, it didn't actually show them kissing but jess leaned in and they sutit of when he was about an inch away from her face.
