A/N: This is a fluffy oneshot songfic based on Gilmore Girls and on Duncan Sheik's song Half Life from the What A Girl Wants soundtrack. Please read and review! Enjoy!

Why did they break up? Why had she been so stupid? Rory Gilmore wiped fresh tears from her cheeks and blew her nose.

It takes so much out of me to pretend/ tell me now, tell me how to make amends...

She couldn't take it any longer. She couldn't pretend it was okay. And the worst part was that she didn't know how to apologize to Dean.

Maybe, I need to see the daylight/ to leave behind this half-life/ don't you see I'm breaking down

He hadn't seen her lose it because she had avoided him for what seemed like forever.

Lately, something here don't feel right/ this is just a half-life/ is there really no escape?/ no escape from time/ of any kind?

She felt incomplete without him. He had become a part of her life, and she herself had torn that part out of her and thrown it away.

I keep trying to understand/ this thing and that thing, my fellow man/ I guess I'll let you know/ when I figure it out/ but I don't mind a few mysteries/ they can stay that way it's fine by me/ and you are another mystery I am missing.

For the life of her, Rory couldn't figure Dean out completely. Why had he told her he loved her? Why had she run away from him?

It takes so much out of me to pretend...

Maybe, I need to see the daylight/ to leave behind this half-life/ don't you see I'm breaking down?

Lately, something here don't feel right/ this is just a half-life/ is there really no escape?/ no escape from time/ of any kind?

Rory realized that she had to see Dean. Her feet took her on the path she had walked a million times-and she cried the whole way.

Come on lets fall in love/ Come on lets fall in love/ Come on lets fall in love/ again...

'Cause lately something here don't feel right/ this is just a half-life/ without you I am breaking down...

Awake me/ let me see the daylight/ save me from this half-life/ let's you and I escape/ escape from time...

Come on lets fall in love/ Come on lets fall in love/ Come on lets fall in love/ again...

"Rory?" Dean opened the door and Rory fell into his arms. She kissed him passionately and hugged him tightly. "I love you." she whispered.
