"Mom? I don't know if you can hear me even through your sleep or maybe you'll just wake up while I tell you this but I just need to tell you this cause I don't want you to feel responsible for what I did, because you're not. I love you mom."
She took a deep breathe.
"I'm sorry mom for trying to do what I did. I can't even say it out aloud."
She paused and took a few deep breaths. Her voice was heavy with emotion and her eyes filled with tears threatening to fall.
She squeezed her mom's hand and continued,"I just thought there was no way out of my problems. I felt so suffocated with everything. I was setting high goals for myself without even consulting me. I know it's pretty weird, but that is how I felt. I felt like I didn't have control over my life anymore. But it wasn't you who was taking that control away from me. It was me. IT WAS ME. I wasn't happy mom. I ended up living the life you fought so hard to keep me away from. The life filled with sadness, where everyone tried so hard to build this ridiculous wall around themselves to prevent hurt. But the thing is that they end up getting hurt too. Mom I hurt myself by burying myself in my studies and not allowing anything distract me from studying so that I could finally prove everyone that I could do it. I wanted to prove that I was special. And I'm just sorry mom. Sorry for not telling you this earlier. I'm sorry for so many things but I need you to wake up so that I can know if you forgive me mom. I love you so much."
That was it. She couldn't take it anymore. She came closer, kneeling next to her mother. Rory placed her mother's hand on her cheek hoping that her tears would end.
"Rory"
At the sound of her name her head shot up. Her mom looked at her mirroring Rory's emotion of love. Rory immediately got up to reach out to her mom to hug her.
"God, I missed you so much."
"I missed you too, mini-me. Wait- OW. Injured person here!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Wait, I'll call jess-"
"Rory, I'm fine. And I forgive you. How can I not. You're my most favorite daughter.i would risk my life for you. Wait- did I just say that? Urm-"Lorelai pretended to be regretting what she said.
Rory stared at her mom open mouthed."What does that mean? I mean I took the trouble to bring you coffe-"
"Oh, sweet, darling, sweet, sweet, intelligent, adorable, gorgeous, smart, witty, sweet,- did I mention sweet?- daughter of mine. Of course I would." Lorelai quickly said with a huge grin on her face and batting eyelashes.
Of course this gesture caused Rory to suffer from temporary short-term memory loss. She made her way out of the room to fetch her mom her coffee. After all Gilmores are very cranky without their daily jugs of the dear liquid that provided them with caffeine.
