"My heart is not captured easily. I am disinterested in small talk, disillusioned with love, and too focused on my dreams and aspirations to lend anybody my attention for long. But if we make that connection, if you find your way into my heart, God, I will fall for you like gravity has let go of the earth" - Beau Taplin
Mom and Max's surprise wedding shower was absolute perfect. It had all elements of a kingdom of love, with Mom and Max being queen and king respectively. There was so much hearts and flower decorations it was like fairies had dumped some type of love dust all over the town... but in an elegant, understated type of way. I was a huge fan, while Rory didn't like it as much -but we both equally loved our mom's reaction to it all. She was still very upset over what Grandma said, but Max was making her extremely happy and that's all the mattered for now.
"So did you and Tom make up yet?" I asked, as I walked over to where Rory was. She had told her story of how Tom was so upset with her because she hadn't spent barely anytime with him and he was acting immature.
I knew exactly how she was feeling because Dean was acting the same way, I just didn't tell her. After the conversation at the diner, and after I got home from the hospital, I spent the night planning with Rory. Dean was furious, but he had to realize this was my future we were talking about. Of course I wanted him to be a part of my future too, but this was what I dreamed about before I even knew he existed.
"Yea, he just came over a few minutes ago apologizing. He's getting some food right now" She said, and I nodded. I wondered when Dean would apologize, or if he even would.
"Mom looks so happy" Rory commented, as we watched her open gifts with Max. I sighed, nodding.
"I'm glad. She deserves it" I said, smiling. Rory nodded.
Then, I saw Dean out of the corner of my eye. We both looked at each other, and Dean nodded his head off to the side to indicate us to talk.
"I.. uh see Tom coming with food. I'll let you two love birds be" I said, as I went to Dean. I walked over awkwardly, with my arms crossed, not knowing what to say. I hated when we were in disagreements. He seemed to be uncomfortable as well, with his hands in his pockets.
"This place looks beautiful. You, um look beautiful too" He said, smiling softly at me. I smiled back.
"You look very handsome yourself" I replied, as I looked to the side.
"I.. I'm an idiot. I got jealous of Harvard, which is crazy because I love the fact that you're going to go to Harvard. I've just missed you so much, and I was angry because of all the time you're spending working on your future and getting into college. I was acting immature, exactly like you said, and I'm sorry" Dean said, not looking at me as we walked around. I looked over at him, and stopped.
"Dean, you're not an idiot. I've missed you too. I didn't help out the situation with my stressing out. Just with Harvard, Rory and I get so tunnel visioned, we don't really see anything but that around us. She had a fight with Tom about it too. Do you think I'd rather honestly be working in the hospital then with you? Yes, it's been a great experience, but all I wish is that we could go back to the beach or in your room watching a movie. Anything with you" I said, honestly, reaching out to hold his hand. He looked up at me, with so much emotion in his eyes.
