Who's crazier?

Please, don't hate me.

Lorelai sat at the kitchen table, having been woken up by Luke's alarm, sipping a cup of coffee and flicking through a magazine. At about 8, Liv dragged herself out of her room, made a cup of coffee for herself and sat by her mom.

"Morning babe. You feeling better?" She asked.

"How can I be? I made the worst decision of my life!" Liv croaked, hanging her head in her hands, "what should I do mom?"

"Tell him. You know what keeping secrets does, you saw Rory and Logan," Lorelai said.

"They're back together now mom...they're happy! Maybe, maybe that could happen to us too?" Liv suggested, perking up slightly.

"Oh, honey, Jess isn't like Logan, or Rory. He wouldn't want you to keep this from him," Lorelai smiled, sadly. She knew that Jess wouldn't forgive her that easily, either, no matter how much he loved her. Poor kid.

"I don't wanna go back today," Liv sighed, "I can't."

"Ok. Tomorrow then. Today, we watch films. We eat ice cream and mock Tom Cruises acting and laugh at Adam Sandlers jokes. Tomorrow, you tell him. And if it goes well, good. But if it doesn't...you have me. You can stay here, or if you want to get out of town I'm sure your grandparents or Christopher will gladly let you stay with them," Lorelai smiled at her.

"Thank you mom. I think we should start with The Wedding Singer, myself," Liv suggested.

"So we shall!" Lorelai cried, getting to her feet.

"God, you're so over the top," Liv laughed.

"Oh, my dear daughter, fruit of my loins, sweet child of mine,  my sweet child, troubled child, and...I'm out," Lorelai rambled, walking to the living room.

"Whatever, mom," Liv laughed. It was an empty laugh.

That night, after watching 7 films, there was a knock at the door. Liv has fallen asleep on Lorelai, so she called for them to come in. Jess walked into the house, with food in one hand and two cups of coffee in the other.

"I brought some food from Luke's from, well, Luke," he said, quietly, looking at his fiancée and smiling.

Lorelai's heart broke for him.

"She's shattered. Whatever she's got has really taken it out on her," Lorelai smiled, her stomach churning at having to lie to him.

"Yeah, I'll leave this here for you both," he set the food down, and gently kissed Liv on the head.

"I'll keep her here again tonight, she'll be back tomorrow in the morning," Lorelai told him.

"If you're sure. Get her to call me when she wakes up?" Jess asked.

"Obviously," Lorelai smiled at him, "Bye Jess." He waved and walked out, "Oh Liv," she sighed, stroking her daughters head. The phone then rang, and Lorelai picked it up quickly to stop it from waking up Liv, "Hello?"

"Hey mom! Are you ok?" Rory asked.

"I'm fine, Liv's still not too good," Lorelai told her.

"Yeah, Jess said she was ill. What's up with her?" Rory asked.

"Just not feeling good," Lorelai touched her forehead.

"Me and Logan are on our way back now. I'm sorry we didn't stop to say bye."

"It's fine. And Tristin?" Lorelai asked her hesitantly.

"He's staying at the inn until he finds a place. Michel sorted it out today," Rory explained.
