Authors Note: Sorry for the wait. Please let me know what you think (:
They stood there staring at each other.
Rory: How did you?
Jess: I met him
Rory: (shakes her head) that isn't the point. The point is that my mother was saying something about you not living.
Jess: You cant decide whats the point
Rory: Neither can you. Why didn't you tell me?
Jess: You are seriously asking me why I didn't tell you something? You give me your number very flattering by the way, you invite me to your birthday party all of these signals saying I like you I'd like to get to know you. None giving some sort of heads up that your taken.
Rory: Well I...
Jess: I get it I didn't tell you I had cancer, but that's something you don't say when you first meet someone. You on the other hand should've been something you said.
Rory: Jess I...
And with that he walked away. Somehow the tears seemed to have flood. He was right. She shouldve said something. She didnt want him mad at her but worst this is not the way she wanted to find out he had cancer. And with that she headed to restroom to throw up...
NEXT MORNING
Rory woke up to her mom heating up the pop tarts and handing her coffee.
Lorelai: If this is not in your appetite. You know being a wild partier 21 year old that you are I took the liberty of getting some tacos and burritos.
Rory: Ah please hand a taco
Lorelai: So how are you feeling? Being at home and all
Rory: It feels like home. Mom I'm so..
Lorelai: You dont even have to say it. But do you have a plan?
Rory: Well I have to talk to admissions
Lorelai: Rory I dont want you to go to Yale because of me. I want you to go because you want to.
Rory: I want to. Trust me
Lorelai: Well as long as your sure kid
Rory: I am...
Lorelai: Well now that weve had the school talk we can have the boy talk
Rory: Oh boy look at the time
Lorelai: Rory
Rory: Is short for Lorelai in our world...ugh I dont want to talk about them. I just want a week of catching up with you
Lorelai: And I want that too hon. But can I get some sort of lead on it. One of them is my fiances husband.
Rory: I'm with Logan
Lorelai: But?
Rory: But I may like Jess
Lorelai: May?
Rory: Mom please I'm dealing with a major hangover I dont need the Law and order SVU interrogation
YALE
It had been a week since her birthday and now here she was in the halls of Yale. She missed it. It even smells different. She missed the smell. She hadnt talked to Jess since his rant. And even worse she hadnt heard from Logan. She speant the week with the one person that seemed to always forgive her. Her best friend, her mom. As she walked closer to the best coffee kart, is when she bumped in to...
Rory: Logan
And thats when he split apart from a lip lock with a red head.
Logan: Rory
He got up from the bench and got closer to her.
Logan: What are you doing here?
Rory: What are you doing?
Logan: I hadnt heard from you. I've called. I thought we broke up
Rory: What would give you that idea?
Logan: Its been a week. I've called. No answer, Im positive Ive missed your birthday. I didnt know what to think
Rory: I was in Stars Hollow I hadnt picked up my stuff from my grandparents so I couldnt get my charger. Maybe I shouldve called, but maybe you shouldnt be cheating on me
Logan: I didnt know was
Rory: People dont break up like this Logan...but you know your right I hadnt talked to you. You hadnt been in a relationship before so maybe you didnt know
Logan: I didnt. I would never hurt you intentionally
Rory: But thats the thing Logan I cant keep making excuses for you. When I first met you, you were exciting and different. Your spontaneous nature made things that more special. But the excitement it fades, you couldnt even give me a week before jumping back in the game. And the sad part is this surprise isnt something I didnt expect
Logan: Rory...what are you trying to say?
Rory: I don't want to be with you not anymore and by the looks of it. Neither do you
And with that Rory walked away. And she finally genuinely smiled in a long time.
LUKES DINER
Rory arrived at Luke's and opened the door. It was hard to ignore this place more importantly it was hard to ignore him this whole week. She didnt have to shove her feelings aside anymore. He looked up from counting the receipts and looked at her.
Rory: We broke up...
