Fallen Angel
She was sick to her stomach with guilt.
She was dizzy with the burden she was carrying.
She was falling and she couldn't do a damn thing to stop it.
She was supposed to be strong.
She wasn't supposed to be this weak, pathetic speck of a human being who let her boyfriend treat her like this.
Who was he to think that he could treat her friend like this?
Who was he to think that he could talk that way to her guest?
She was always the perfect little trophy girlfriend and he treats her friend like this? He treats her like this?
She wasn't going to let this happen. Not to this friend. Not again.
"No, Jess don't leave," she pleaded.
"I'm not doing this again Rory. I'm not giving that blonde dick the satisfaction of tearing down everything I've worked for, not again!" Jess yelled.
"I know, I'm sorry. I'll make him leave, just please, don't go," she cried, on the verge of tears.
"Rory…," he sighed.
"Please," she said almost inaudibly.
"Okay," he whispered. The things he did for this woman.
"Thank you," she said and was off to get rid of her horrid boyfriend.
"Logan!" she yelled with fury as she approached their table, catching everyone's attention in the restaurant.
"What's with the yelling Ace? Where's write-boy?" Logan slurred.
"How could you!?" she screamed.
"How could I what?" Logan asked, taking a swig of whiskey.
"How could you treat him like that? He did nothing to you and you treat him like dirt!" she accused.
"Who? James? He's nothing. He never will be. I don't see why you insist on associating with him," Logan said nonchalantly, taking yet another swig.
"His name is JESS!" she exclaimed, finally having enough of his condescending shit.
"Whatever," Logan downed the rest of his whiskey and put a hand up for another.
"No, don't you whatever me! I am NOT going to be your trophy girlfriend anymore!" she declared.
"What are you talking about?" Logan asked, not taking her seriously.
"We're done!" she said firmly, "I'm not putting up with your stupid rich boy shit anymore Logan! Go cry to daddy, I'm done! Now get out of my sight! I have a dinner to finish with my friend."
"You're not serious, Ace," Logan tried to persuade her. He got up and started to walk towards her.
"Don't come near me," she warned.
"Ace, come on," Logan tried.
"Leave her alone Blondie," a voice said from behind her.
"What are you going to do about it Jack?" Logan asked.
"It's JESS!" Rory yelled and pushed Logan in the chest away from her.
"Shh, come on Ror, calm down," Jess gathered her in his arms, restraining her from touching Logan again.
"You'll be sorry you dumb whore," Logan spat and fixed his collar. As he was walking past them to leave he purposefully bumped into Jess. Jess turned him around and punched him in the jaw.
"Don't ever talk to her like that again. Stay the hell away from her you asshole. My uncle and I will be at your apartment tomorrow to get her stuff. DON'T get in our way," Jess warned.
Logan rubbed his jaw, "Whatever," he said and walked out.
"Why did I let this happen?" Rory sobbed into Jess' chest.
She was sick to her stomach.
"Shhh, it's okay now Ror, he's gone," Jess soothed her.
"I'm so sorry," she repeated over and over as Jess held this broken girl in his arms.
She was supposed to be strong.
"Come on, I'm going to take you home, to Stars Hollow," Jess told her.
"No, I can't go back there. I haven't spoken to mom in at least 2 years," Rory shook her head vehemently.
She was falling hard and she couldn't stop.
He took her chin in his hand and forced her to look at him, "Yes you can, you can do anything."
He picked her up.
"No, not anymore. I'm not the girl you used to know, Jess," Rory insisted.
She wasn't supposed to be weak.
"You're in there somewhere," Jess whispered and wiped away her tears with his thumb, "Come on, let's get you home."
He still believed in her, his angel.
He put an arm around her should, hugged her into his side, and led her to his car. She rested her head on his shoulder until they reached his car and climbed in.
Forty-five minutes later they were passing the welcome sign for Stars Hollow.
"Thank you Jess," Rory whispered, turning her head from the window and looking over to Jess.
He turned his head to look at her for a split second and then turned his eyes back to the road, "No problem."
"No, you've always been there for me Jess, I owe you so much," Rory said.
"I'll always be there for you Rory. I owe you so much more than you owe me," Jess shook his head.
"I don't know what to say," Rory confessed.
She was still so dizzy.
"Then don't say anything to me," Jess replied simply as they arrived in the Crap Shack's driveway, "Say something to her," he pointed to a dark figure on the porch swing.
He calmed her down.
Rory gasped and let tears freely stream down her face as she hopped out of the car and ran full speed onto the porch, "MOM!" she yelled.
"Rory?" Lorelai asked in disbelief.
"Mom!" Rory sobbed as she collapsed in Lorelai's arms, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry mom."
She was home.
"Oh Hunnie," Lorelai gushed, "I can't believe you're here," Lorelai let tears roll down her cheeks as well. Her baby was finally home. They could set a date.
She was a fallen angel on her way back up.
