Previous Chapter

Luke (Gives in to Rory's pout): Sure, I'll come to the party. It may take me a little while though. I have a phone call to make. (He looks at Lorelai when he says the last sentence.)

Lorelai smiles when he looks at her.

Lorelai: Ok. We will just see you when you get there.

Luke: Ok. (He leaves.)

Sookie: We will just meet you at the house, ok?

Lorelai: All right.

Sookie and Jackson leave and the Gilmore Girls are left alone.

Chapter 4: Telling Rory

Once everybody else has left, Rory looks at Lorelai with a questioning look on her face. Lorelai notices her daughter looking at her.

Lorelai: What?

Rory: What's going on?

Lorelai: What do you mean what's going on?

Rory: I mean what's going on with you and Luke?

Lorelai: Nothing is going on with Luke and me.

Rory: Oh, whatever. I saw you and Luke talking. It either had to have been a crazy or shocking conversation you two had because I saw several expressions come across your faces, and one of the expressions I saw the most was shock. What happened, Mom?

Lorelai watched Rory while she talked about her and Luke. She was surprised yet at the same time glad that Rory was being so forthright about what she saw. She decided to be truthful with Rory. She never wanted to lie to Rory especially about something like this.

Lorelai: You must have been watching us for a while.

Rory nods.

Lorelai: Well I have something to tell you and it may or may not surprise.

Rory: Ok.

Lorelai: I'll tell you the whole story later, but I will tell you the most amazing part of the conversation.

At this point, Lorelai starts to smile which causes Rory to smile too.

Rory: Ok, you've got me curious. What is so amazing?

Lorelai (excited): Luke and I told each other how we really felt about each other.

Lorelai smiles at Rory as she waits for her daughter's reaction.

Rory gasps: Did you see it?

Lorelai: The look in his eyes? (Rory nods.) Oh yeah, I saw it (pauses) right after I told him how I felt.

Rory lets a shriek of delight causing her mother to laugh.

Rory: Oh My God! You told him first? That's unbelievable.

Lorelai: Why is it so unbelievable? Is it because I spoke up first?

Rory: Well yes and no. I wasn't quite sure who would finally get the guts up first.

Lorelai: Well it was I. I'll tell you more later, but right now we have a party to go to.

The girls start walking to go to their cars when Rory's phone starts to ring. Rory answers her phone to find no one on the other end so she hangs up. Lorelai shoots Rory a questioning look just as Rory's phone rings again. She answers it again to find nobody answering her on the other end.

Rory: Hello. (Pause) Hello.

Rory walks away from her mother and heads into the school.

Rory: Jess. Is that you? Please answer me. (Short pause) Fine don't talk but I will. You should have told me about everything. I thought I was your girlfriend, I guess I was wrong. I'm done. I'm not going to wonder or worry about you anymore. I'll get over you just like I did with Dean. I guess this is goodbye.

Rory hangs up just as Lorelai approaches her.

Lorelai: Hey. You ready to go?

Rory: Yeah.

Lorelai: Ok let's go.

They leave Chilton with their arms around each other ready to start the party back at their house.
