-Wednesday Night, The Gilmore's House-
Rory yawned and pulled the blanket tighter around her. She looked at her mother to see if she was even watching the movie. Rory was not surprised when she saw her mother furiously writing and pulling numerous sheets from her work folder. Rory sighed and sat up a little. She had yet to tell her what she had learned from Luke earlier that morning.
"Mom, I have to tell you something." Rory said quietly
Lorelai looked up and pushed all her work papers to the side, "What is it?"
"When I was at Luke's for breakfast, he told me that Jess is coming down for the weekend."
Lorelai's eyes widened, "Jess? No way!"
"I know!"
"Why?"
"I don't really know for sure, Luke said something about his friend wanting to write an article about our town. All I really know is he's coming."
"Oh honey, what are you going to do when you see him?"
"I don't know! I mean, I don't even know where we stand. Does he hate me? He probably hates me. I mean, I stood there and practically told him straight to his face that I didn't want to be with him. How could he not hate me?"
"I don't think he hates you" Lorelai said soothingly, trying to calm Rory down.
"How do you know? How do we know anything at all? God, I'm not ready for this. I'm not ready to face him again." Rory leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes. It was going to be the longest weekend of her life.
-Thursday Morning, Luke's Diner-
Rory and Lorelai entered the Diner and took their seats. Luke came over towards them and looked over at Lorelai, "You here today." he said simply
"Yup, but not for long. I should really go to the Inn early, do something with the bundle of papers piling up on the front desk. Maybe I'll throw them at one of the customers. That will show them to never mess with Lorelai Gilmore."
"That's a good way to keep your job" Luke said sarcastically
Lorelai shrugged, "Who needs a job anyways? It just causes great pain to my head."
Rory rolled her eyes, "Luke, I think I'll have a bagel."
He nodded and then turned to Lorelai, "What can I get you?"
"Same I guess, except add a coffee."
Luke walked away leaving Rory and Lorelai alone once again. Rory sighed as her mother pulled out her work folder once again. Just then, Lane waked into the diner ready for work. She spotted Rory and took a seat at their table.
"Hey Rory!" Lane said happily
"Hey! Did you come in for work?"
"Ya, I wish I didn't though because we could have spent the day together now that it's the summer."
"Me too but, we could hang out tonight maybe after work?"
"Ya that would be cool. Ill drop by around six."
"Alright, it's a date."
Lane smiled and walked over to the counter so start her shift.
-Thursday Evening, The Gilmore's House-
Rory heard the knock on the door and grabbed her cell phone before running to open it. She smiled over at Lane, "Hey!"
"Hey! You ready to go?"
"Ya, just let me see say goodbye to my mom" Rory went into the kitchen where Lorelai was sitting talking on the phone with Sookie. Rory walked in, "Bye Mom" she called.
Lorelai waved at Rory before concentrating her attention on her phone conversation. Rory sighed and left back for the door. Rory closed the door behind her as they walked out past the driveway.
Lane turned to Rory, "So, what should we do?"
"Whatever you want" she said quietly
Lane touched Rory's arm gently, "Hey are you okay?"
"Ya I'm fine, it's just my mom is either at work, bringing her work home with her, or being stressed out about her work. That's all she does is work. This is my summer vacation! I want to hang out with her not watch her fill out form after form. All I have been doing is sitting around all day bored out of my mind. Well, at least maybe tomorrow will be more interesting."
"Why? What's happening tomorrow?"
"Jess is happening! He's coming here for the weekend."
"I should have known that was coming! Wow, your right tomorrow will be interesting."
"Cant wait!" Rory said sarcastically. Lane smiled as they made their way down the street.
Lorelai hung up the phone as her head pounded in pain. She had a huge migraine that was only getting worse. She pushed away her papers and went to the bathroom to find anything to soothe the pain.
Lorelai swallowed down a few pills before slowly making her way to her bedroom. She needed to lie down. She groaned as she fell back onto her bed. A small nap. Lorelai closed her eyes and pulled the covers over her body. A small nap and then it was back to work.
Luke closed up the diner for the night and headed up stairs. Luke starting fixing up the guest bed when he remembered Jess was bringing along a friend. There wasn't room for two more people in his small apartment. He hoped Jess had thought about this when he planned this weekend venture.
Luke let out a little laugh. He couldn't help but think about the first time Jess moved in with him when he was in high school. It had been a disaster and now, here Luke was getting all excited and ready for Jess's visit. A lot had changed since then. Luke smiled as he got into bed himself. Luke closed his eyes but he had a feeling he wasn't going to be able to get too much sleep that night.
