Chapter Six

A/N: Once again, thanks to the readers and the reviews, it keeps me going. I want to say sorry it took me so long to update. It's been quite hectic with the holidays and I've been sick. Anyways, here is the moment you've been waiting for…

"No, no, that's fine. Yes, I completely understand," Rory said. She then hung up the phone and marked another name off her list. She had been trying to find a date for her mom's wedding. Her grandmother had scared her after last night's dinner. She didn't have a date and didn't want her to fix her up on any more dates. Plus, things between her and Jess were still confusing between she didn't feel comfortable with it. Yet, she still smiled at the thought. She secretly hoped things would work between them.

Rory glanced back down at her notepad. She had few more options to try. Two names instantly stood out: Dean and Logan. She desperately wanted a date but didn't want to it be them. She decided to call someone else when she was interrupted. "How's the search coming?" Lorelai asked as she entered the kitchen, followed by Luke and Jess.

"No luck yet but it's still early," Rory replied with a smile on her face.

"What are you searching for?" Luke asked.

"Nothing major. She kinda freaked last night and is trying to find a date for the wedding," Lorelai answered.

"Oh."

"Wait! You're looking for a date. I thought we decided that we would go together," Jess said sarcastically.

"Jess," Rory pleaded.

"Fine."

The four of them then piled into the car and left.

The four of them had returned from daily chores. The wedding was getting closer, so they were finishing up with things. Rory was still searching for a date. "It's ok. Bye," Rory said as she hung up the phone and scratched another name off her list.

"Still no luck?" Jess asked.

"No," Rory said with a sigh.

"Well, they're crazy. I don't know why they wouldn't want to date you. You're beautiful, smart, have a great sense of books and music, the whole deal."

Rory stared at with a slight smile on her lips. She could really see how he matured over the years. He could still be the same, smart-ass Jess, but be a completely different, mature Jess. She liked the change.

Jess interrupted her silence. "You know in all seriousness, I would be glad to be your date. After all, I owe you. I never took you to prom."

"Jess, I don't think so. I'm glad that we worked things out last night but it's still too soon."

At that moment, Rory heard someone pull up outside. She glanced out of the window to see who it was. "Oh my god," Rory said as she ran outside.

Once she was outside, she stood face to face with Logan. It was her worse nightmare. She didn't want to see him. "What are doing here?"

"I heard you needed a date for your mom's wedding."

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Finn. You asked him and he called me. He didn't know we broke up. I thought that if you were that desperate to ask him that I would go with you."

"First of all, I'm not desperate. Secondly, Finn is my friend too and I thought I would ask him. I thought it would fun."

"Sure thing Ace. Whatever you say."

"Don't call me that," Rory said angrily.

"You didn't mind it before."

"Yea, well, we weren't broken up then."

"Whoa, why all the hostility? You said we can still be friends,"

"Yea, we can. But it's still too soon. We can't act like nothing happened," Rory shot back. She could feel tears swelling in her eyes. Even though it was a mutual break up, it ended badly and she didn't want to revisit it.

Logan just stood there with his hands in his pockets, staring at Rory and shaking his head in disbelief. Things were perfect between them and now they couldn't be civilized with each other. He wanted to be with her, to wrap his arms around her, and tell her he loved her. He opened his mouth to say something but before he could Rory continued.

"I'm not going to the wedding with you. So, you need to leave now."

Just then, Jess walked outside. He had been watching from the window and saw how hurt Rory was. "Is everything ok?"

"Yea," Rory said.

"Oh, no wonder you won't go to the wedding with me. He's probably the reason why you broke up with me."

"Jess has nothing to do with it. And you broke up with me."

"Maybe. I might have technically done the breaking up but you easily agreed."

"Yes because I couldn't do this anymore. I still can't. You need to leave," Rory shouted and went inside.

"Leave her alone. She doesn't deserve this," Jess said.

"But she deserves you, right?"

"I'm serious. Leave now." He then took two steps closer to Logan to show that he was serious.

Logan then got into his Porsche and left. Jess turned around and went inside. Rory was waiting by door, crying. She hugged him when he entered. "Thanks," she whispered between sobs.

"You're welcome."

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. So, it's getting close to the wedding and I'm not sure what a good song would be for Lorelai and Luke at their wedding. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Either leave them in a review or message them to me. Thanks!!
