Note: Just to let you all know, this was done out of a challenge



It was a nice, sunny day in the small town of Stars Hollow. While the whole story-book village continued its normal routine, he was stuck in his uncle's apartment having nothing to do. He could go outside, and walk around, find something to do... but the damn place was too cheery! He didn't want to be here, but as his mother had said, "He's family, and you'll be nice to him. He's all alone out there and he needs your company. No pranks. I mean it Jess, so help me if you do...." She can't stop me, and "Uncle Luke" certainly can't stop me. I can and will do whatever the hell I want. This town really sucks. Although Rory does seem appealing. I think she likes reading more than I do. Now that's a first. While Jess was thinking, he spotted quite a scene outside. He opened the window to hear what was going on.

"Dean, don't you think you're playing the jealous card a little too harshly right now?" Rory was trying to keep her calm.

"I don't think I'm being the least bit jealous right now at all. I saw you walking with him, and you were flirting."

"We were talking about books for God's sake! How in the world is that flirting? Dean, you need to stop. Every single time I talk to him, you get crazy. Tiny, little insignificant things, Dean." She was REALLY starting to get mad now. How could talking to Jess be considered flirting? It was crazy. He was really starting to drift away from her. It was these outbursts that made her regret she ever said those 3 words to him on the last day of Chilton.

"Rory, if you really think that I am jealous, and that you can't even see that you're flirting with Jess, than I'm starting to think that you never meant those 3 words, and that we should break up" Dean felt very hurt and pained as he said it, but he meant every word of it.

Rory couldn't believe what she was hearing. "If you really mean that, then that proves to show, you don't know me at all. Good-bye Dean, have a nice life without me" With that, she turned, and ran all the way to her safe, warm home that would protect her.

Dean just stared as she ran from him, as fast as her legs could carry her. He sighed and as he moaned, he looked up at the window above where he and Rory had their second break-up. Jess quickly darted his head back in. Man, did he have a sore cramp in his neck Then his mind wandered over to the conflict that had happened a few minutes ago.. We were flirting? About books? Since when? He then remembered their little chat about him borrowing her book. He smiled.

Rory finally reached her house, out of breath. As she bolted through the door, trying to reach the condolence of her room, Lorelai stopped her. "Woah there Marion Jones. Hold up! What's with your endearing impressing of speed racer?"

Rory was questioning on whether to tell her mother about the break-up with her and Dean. She then took her mother's hand and led her to the living room couch. "We broke up."

"Who? You and Narcolepsy boy?" Rory nodded. "Again?" Rory nodded once more. "Oh. C'mere babe" Lorelai patted the seat next to her. Rory scooted over next to Lorelai, as she put her arm around Rory. "Tell me what happened"

Rory started telling her mother about the gruesome break-up, and how Dean seemed like he didn't trust her, and about how Dean thought she and Jess were flirting. "You know, you really should wallow"

"Oh please help me God, not this again." She paused. "Anyway, I'm not too sad this time. It seemed all for the best"

If only she knew, if only she knew....

Very short, I know. But If I get some positive feedback, I'll make the next chapter longer! :)
