Summary: On 'Teach Me Tonight', what if they hadn't turned to keep driving? What if they had gone back to Luke's diner?

Lets Escape Tonight

"Come on Jess, we should be getting back. You need to study." The raven-haired study-holic girl said quietly.

Jess turned his head slightly and rolled his eyes. "Aw, you're no fun." He kept heading straight and started towards Luke's Diner.

The two arrived soon enough and climbed out of the car. Rory had Jess's workbook tucked under her arm and Jess hand his hands shoved into the pockets on his leather jacket. He opened up the door to the diner and held it open for Rory. Jess gestured for her to go in and she flashed him a smile. His deep eyes locked onto her's for a moment or two before Rory quickly directed her gaze inside. Hurriedly, she walked in, turning a light shade of red. Throwing herself into the same seat she had sat in before, Rory opened up Jess's book and tried to find where they were up to.

"This is boring, Rory! Lets go somewhere!"

The young girl shot him a serious look. "We just went to get ice cream! We're not going anywhere until I'm sure you've studied enough. I made a promise to Luke, Jess. I told him I'd tutor you."

"You've tutored me long enough, this sucks Rory, and you know it." Jess slumped into the seat opposite Rory and folded his arms, acting like a little child. He pouted before laughing some.

Rory's gaze was still so stern. "I happen to enjoy studying."

Jess smirked his usual smirk. "Well that's just weird. Come on, we're leaving." He got up and grabbed Rory gently by the shoulders, lifting her onto her feet. He grabbed her arm and started for the door.

Rory shifted out of his grasp and pushed him away. "Jess! Stay here!"

"You can't tell me what to do Rory, you're not my mother, and even she couldn't control my actions."

Jess turned to face her and again their gazes locked. Rory looked at him sternly and yet Jess just smiled. Then all of a sudden Rory burst out laughing.

"Did I do something funny?" Jess looked at her in a confused way and walked towards her a bit.

Rory just beamed back at the confused Jess. "You're so right, this does suck." She grabbed his hand and headed out the door and onto the street.

His hand started shaking a bit and he turned a crimson colour. With his free hand, he adjusted the collar on his leather jacket so the redness of his face was hidden. Rory looked over at him and noticed a bit of redness revealing itself. She quickly realized what she was doing and let go of his hand. "Sorry…" she muttered nervously, glancing back at him.

Jess returned Rory's glance and grabbed hold of her hand. "It's ok." He smiled, blushing even more. Now Rory was blushing too, as she gave his hand a light squeeze.

Jess turned so he was facing the diner and Rory's back was to it. Rory backed against the building and looked into his eyes. The young man's hands were now pressed against the window, one on each side of Rory's head. He smiled and leaned toward her, only a couple inches from her face. She smiled back and leaned forward, pressing her lips against his.

Yeah, she had imagined what it would be like to kiss this bad boy, and yeah, the real thing was so much better.

And of course this bad boy had imagined what it would be like to kiss Rory. He was just starting to add more passion to the kiss when suddenly the loud screeching of a car horn blasted through the street. They broke off the kiss almost instantly and looked across the road anxiously.

Dean's car was pulled up on the other side of the road, and a furious Dean was stalking towards the two. "What the hell are you doing to her?" He screamed at Jess, sending a strong punch across his face.

Jess fell to the ground, holding his cheek. "Get outta here Dean."

An astonished Rory stood watching, not knowing what to do. She and Jess both knew that she was the one who had started the kiss but Jess wasn't sure he wanted to point that out. Dean wouldn't believe him anyway. Rory thought about mentioning it but couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Dean's hard shoe came crashing into Jess's ribs. "No Jess! You get out of here!"

Jess didn't move, he just looked up at Rory, hoping she'd say something. Rory looked at him for a moment before looking away.

Dean's face was bright red from anger as his boot slammed into Jess again, and again. "Get away Jess!" he boomed, grabbing Jess by the shoulders, dragging him onto his feet and pushing him onto the road. "Go home! And keep away from Rory!"

Jess stumbled up and walked back towards the diner. "I live here you dick." He shot a terrified Rory a defeated look. "Thanks a lot Rory. You're a real friend." He held onto his ribs and dragged himself inside.

Rory got one last glimpse of him before he disappeared up the stairs to his uncle's apartment. Dean held Rory by the shoulders and carefully checked her for bruises. "Did he hurt you?"

Rory pushed him off. "No! He's not that kind of person! Unlike you Dean! You seriously hurt him!" Rory rushed inside and up the same stairs to Jess's room.

The door was locked and booming rock music blasted from the room.

"Jess! Open the door!" Rory twisted the handle over and over again, just hoping he would unlock it.

Inside, Jess lay motionless on his bed. He was still conscious but was griping his ribs. He reached for his cell phone on his bedside table and slowly brought it over towards him. Ever so slowly he typed in '111' and called for an ambulance.

Hearing no reply, Rory sat outside the apartment, totally terrified. "Jess, please open the door!" Tears softly rolled down her pale face. Still no reply.

Suddenly, the sirens could be heard outside the diner. Rory heard the click of the lock opening and Jess stumbled out. He leaned against the wall, trying to stay stable and waited for the ambulance workers to come upstairs. Rory stood up and looked at him solemnly. "I'm so sorry Jess!"

He ignored her and sighed a sigh of relief as he was lifted onto a stretcher and gently carried back down the stairs. His eyes gently closed and he became motionless.

Rory ran after him and followed them to the ambulance. Dean's car was gone and the ambulance had taken its place. Rory held her head in her hands in terror as the ambulance drove off, turning the corner and out of sight.
