Chapter One: Realization
Rory was sitting on her bed still crying because Logan had already left for London. She was finally getting to the point where she could move so she decided to get a shower and then go to her mom's. The apartment was getting way too lonely and big for her to be there.
She grabbed her clothes and then hopped in the shower. She turned on her waterproof radio and tuned in to her favorite station. The song had just started, but it was still unfamiliar to her, and that's saying something.
I looked away
Then I looked back at you
You tried to say
The things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
"Wow," she thought to herself. "This song is really beautiful. Not to mention fitting. Will Logan and I will make it through everything. He's thousands of miles away, what am I supposed to do?!"
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Because I'm in Love with you
She started to really think about her relationship with Logan. Was she really, I mean really, in love with him? They'd been together for what seemed like forever, but what was forever to him? Was he in love with her?
You're the only one,
I'd be with till the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Because I'm in Love with you
Want to know who you are
Want to know where to start
I want to know what this means
Want to know how you feel
Want to know what is real
I want to know everything, everything
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Because I'm in Love with you
I'm in love with you
Because I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
"What if I do fall to pieces? Oh my god! Our relationship is sc-rewed!"
Just so she wouldn't think about Logan and their relationship, she changed the station before she started shampooing her hair. She then froze just as "Candy man" started playing.

"Dean," she whispered to herself. She hadn't thought about Dean since the night at her grandma's. The same night everything with Logan had started. "How is he?" she wondered. She now had a longing to talk to him just to hear his voice. "Is he still married to Lindsay? No, wait, why do I care? I'm with Logan now. Is it bad that I care?"

"I know! I'll ask mom about him. She should know something," she thought or so she hoped. So Rory finished her shower and started to get dressed while listening to some music. She was just finishing drying her hair when there was a knock at the door. She opened it to find Dean standing in front of her.
"Dean," she said a little too eagerly "What are you doing here?" she asked, wishing this wasn't so awkward.
"I don't really know. I was listening to the radio and 'Candy Man' came on and I had an urge to see you. So here I am." Dean was stunned by how beautiful she looked, hair only half dry, no makeup on and yet she was still breath taking.
"Really?" Rory asked realizing that they had had the same feeling. "I did the same thing. I was just about to go to moms and ask her about you," she said with a half smile.
"I guess great minds think alike," Dean answered with a slight laugh.
"Apparently," she said giggling. "Jeez what's wrong with me? We're bantering back and forth in the doorway. Come in," she said feeling herself blush.
"You sure?" he asked hoping she'd say yes.
"Positive. I think we need to talk about something anyway," she answered pushing the door open for him to enter.
"I guess we do," he said coming in the door, looking at the huge apartment that reflected Rory so well.
"So do you want something to drink before we start talking?" Rory asked grabbing herself a water.
"Water's fine. Thanks," Dean said sitting down on the couch, smiling when she handed him the water. She had sure changed since he'd seen her last.
"So, you first," she said bracing herself for what was coming.
"Ok then. I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted that night at your grandmas, things shouldn't have ended like that," he said avoiding eye contact.
" My thoug-" She started to say but was interrupted by the phone ringing. "Just a second." She said getting up and grabbing the phone.
"Sure," Dean said glad for the distraction.
Rory returned a few minutes later. "Sorry about that," she said with an apologetic face. "That was my mom. She was scared that something happened to me because I didn't call her to tell her I was on my way."
"Oh," he answered. "I don't want to ruin your plans for the day," he said regretting coming over without calling first.
"Oh no, you're not. I just told her I'd be a little later than I had planed," she answered. "Now back to what I was saying before our little interruption. I was going to say, 'My thought's exactly'," she said pausing to compose what she was going to say next. "I didn't really know what to say after you said and I quote 'I don't belong here anymore, do I?' and you didn't give me much of a chance. You got in your car and drove off before I could even attempt to answer. Dean, I really was planning on leaving with you. Did you think I was lying when I said we lost track of time?" Rory said hoping that him thinking she was lying was not the reason they stopped seeing each other.
Dean sighed, "It's not that I didn't believe you, it's just that," he paused for a second, "when I saw you in that dress and all that expensive jewelry, and those guys behind you all from Yale all rich. Then there was me, Dean Forester from some community college. Rory you're going places, places I'll never reach and I felt that I was holding you back. Its like the saying if you love something set it free. "
Rory stared at him not believing what she just heard. "He really thinks he's not good enough for me?" she thought to herself. "Dean you were my first boyfriend, my first love. The first time we broke up I thought I'd never love anyone ever again. Then you showed up at Chilton because you knew that I was trying to tell you something, without me saying a word. Dean I meant what I said then and I still feel the same way," she said looking him straight in the eye.
Dean couldn't believe what he'd just heard. Rory had seriously just sat there and told him that she still loved him, even after everything that they've been through. He just couldn't believe it. She started to look at him like he was crazy. From what she could see, he was just staring off into space, not blinking, with an incredulous look on his face.
"Dean?" she called to him. "Dean, are you okay?" She noticed that he had snapped out of it when he blinked and then looked at her, but then continued to stare at her with a partial smile on his face. Rory couldn't tell what his expression was. Rory was about to ask what he was thinking when all of a sudden he pounced on her, kissing her with all of the passion he had. "What the hell?!" she thought to herself, but the more he kissed her, the more she felt her control slipping away from her, and she soon lost herself in the kiss.
She leaned back, pulling him on top of her. They shifted their weight so they were comfortable, all while never breaking their kiss. Neither of them ever thought that they would be in this position now of all places. Her boyfriend had just left for London, trying to rack up some money for them with a job for his father. Then, he was just finalizing his divorce with the cow. They no longer lived together, but Dean had just temporarily moved back in with his parents… again, and still had to finalize the divorce papers.
Dean had just started to place kisses down her collarbone when they heard a knock at the door. They had no idea who it could be, considering Lorelai had just called Rory from home, wondering when she would be there.
"Who in the-" she started to ask as they both sat up, straightening their clothes, but her question was answered as the door flew open and a very pissed Logan was standing in the doorway.
