He Holds Me When I Start To Cry
She looked out the diner window longingly as she sat across from her boyfriend. Rory Gilmore was 17, a senior, attended Chilton, and was with the infamous Jess Mariano. She turned to look at jess who stared at her with wanting eyes.. "what are you thinking about Mr. Mariano?" she joked . "what's up with you lately?" he said suddenly, becoming a bit too serious for Rory's liking. Jess leaned in closer to Rory. "you've been distant... I hardly see you and when I do, your always in a another world." He said rather harshly still holding eye contact with his girlfriend.
"what are you talking about jess? I am sorry that I have been so busy with Chilton..its just that its soo demanding and to top it off I'm a senior and still on the school paper." Rory said staring jess straight in the eyes..
"its always something with you Rory...i am just tired of it..you really need to make time for the other things in your life that are important besides Chilton.that's all you ever think about." Jess said scathingly.
"Just because I am going somewhere out of stars hollow when I graduate doesn't give you the right to slander me for my commitment. I don't need this right now jess..when you decide to stop being an idiot give me a call." Rory shot back, crudely getting up from the table and storming out of the diner.
"see if I ever call Rory!! " Jess shouted after her , also getting up from the table and rushing up to his room above the diner.
Rory blew through the front door of her house and went straight into her room. Her eyes were red and swollen and her cheeks were glazed with tears. Loralei watched as her young daughter went into her room obviously upset.
"Rory? What'd the bastard say this time" she said half jokingly, walking into her daughters room.
"I don't want to talk about it.please don't pursue the issue..just leave me alone for a while.' Rory said blandly, not even turning around to face her mother
. "alright..i have coffee though.come on now...coffee." Loralei coaxed.
"mom" rory said warningly "just shut the door."
Loralei did as she was told and then sat down at the kitchen counter. "that little brat.if I get my hands on him I gonna ring his scrawny little neck."
Rory sat on her bed looking around her room. She got up and started to walk around it turning over the pictures of her and jess as she went. She opened her closet and came across and rather large box. She pulled it out and set it on her bed. She stared at it a few moments trying to remember the contents. Rory drew a blank, she could not remember what was in that box to save her life. She carefully opened it up and dumped the contents on her bed. She gasped and looked at it in true amazement. The Dean Box. She rummaged through the things and came upon a few pictures. She smiled as she looked at the one with dean carrying her around on his back in his back yard. The next was a picture of her and him at the debutante ball. She remembered the dancing lessons and smiled..tears starting to gather in her eyes..yes she had to admit that she missed him. He was a wonderful first boyfriend and treated her better then anyone ever could have. She went on to the next picture..it was of her and him kissing right after her return to stars hollow from the summer internship thing she had done. She missed his lips and his arms. She wiped her eyes and scanned over the rest of the stuff lying on her bed. His jacket... presents he had given her..and a valentines card .
she reached for the card and opened it slowly. "Rory, happy valentines day first of all, I never knew love or even thought it was possible until I met you. Love Dean." She began to cry and grabbed a pillow to stifle the tears. She needed to talk to him.she needed to see him. She changed into a pair of jeans and a tank top and grabbed her keys to the house.
She walked down the streets of stars hollow as the sun set and night quietly came in. The cool air felt good on her face and the light breeze touseled her hair. She came to deans house and gazed at it for a minute. Taking a deep breath she walked over to the immense tree and started to climb it. She carefully jumped onto the roof and crawled up to deans window. Rory peered in to see dean sitting in a chair reading a book. She smiled sadly. She decided she would watch him for a while longer..and then decided to tap on the window.
Deans mind was trying to concentrate on his book...but Dean Forrester didn't read. well he tried not to too often..it might scar his wonderful rep . He tried to concentrate but couldn't. out of nowhere he heard a tap. He looked around his room but saw nothing. Going back to his book he wondered what it could be..and then again with the tapping. He looked around once more but this time something caught his eye. He found himself staring at his window into the beautiful blue eyes of his ex girlfriend. "Rory." he breathed getting up out of his chair. He opened the window to see her sitting on his roof.
"Uh hi dean...can I come in?" dean extended his hand and helped her into his room.
"what brings you here ?" he asked in bewilderment.
Rory sat down on his bed and started to sniffle. "I'm not quite sure.I started thinking about you and I couldn't stop..and I have missed you and I guess I needed to know if you missed me." Rory rambled on nervously through soft tears.
Dean stood back in somewhat of a shocked daze. "you miss me?" he repeated now sitting down next to her on the bed.
"yes... I think I just said that.." she replied looking at him quietly. "yeah well I have missed you too...I have tried to talk to you and things but your always with...him" dean said lowly emphasizing the last part. "Speaking of him..are you 2 still together..." dean asked looking down at his jeans.
Rory touched his arm "I never meant to hurt you..and I don't know if we still are...he hasn't been treating me as well lately..he has been different..more hostile."
"Sounds like him." Dean said loathingly.
Rory moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. Instinctively dean put his arm around her and held her tight. God how he had missed her...he was still in love with her.and in his mind always would be. Rory was in the most peaceful calm state of mind she had been in, in ages. She hadn't realized how truly much she had missed dean. She looked up at him and smiled. He leaned in gently pressing his lips against hers..then as if it was meant to be she pressed her lips more against his ...gently kissing him back. They parted and dean smiled. Rory smiled as well. Then it hit..the reality. She had just kissed her ex boyfriend.whom her actual boyfriend despises..and the worst part of it...was that she now knew she was still in love with the one and the only Dean Forrester.
