A/N hello everyone this is my first fan fic and i'm very excited to publish it on here :) I've had a billion ideas and i'll probably turn those into fics one day but for now I'll just be doing this one. PLEASE read an review! tell me what i need to improve on because i know there are lots of things! Read on...
"Come here, you!" Her father hugged her, and in perfect timing his cell phone rang. He stepped back and pulled it out of his pocket, "It's probably work." He told her.
"On a Sunday?" she asked shocked. A year ago if her dad had gotten a call from work, especially on a Sunday it would probably be to fire him. He was never the responsibility type.
"Hey lady, I've got a lot of responsibility now, okay?" he said as if reading her mind. She smiled and reflected happily on the changed man standing before her.
"Okay." She nodded. It was good to have him back in her life again, and this time it seemed he was staying for good. Maybe the next wedding she'd be getting dressed up for would be her mom and dad's?
"Be right back." He walked away. As he stepped off he revealed something in the distance that his body had been hiding before. A pleasantly familiar figure lingered down the hill. He had been told not to bother her, not to go looking for her, but since when did he do what he was told? What was it going to hurt to see her for a second, especially from a distance? He was about to walk away until he was spotted, then something told him to stay, no something demanded him to stay.
Was that really him? She thought. It was! It was Jess, the James Dean replica himself. Her stomach fluttered like it always did when she saw him. But why? Why was she so happy, excited even, to see him? What was he doing here anyway? Oh no, if he's here for good Dean will not leave her alone even for a second. He's so jealous, she couldn't even imagine his reaction if he found out that she went to New York to see him, and ditched school and disappointed her mom in order to do it.
"What are you doing here?" she heard herself blurt out. She didn't even realize that she had ran to him. She immediately wanted to rephrase what she had just said, but what was he doing here! Did he get into trouble maybe?
"Hello to you too." Jess was surprisingly calm around someone that made him so antsy. He was hardly taken aback by her blunt greeting.
"Is everything okay?" She looked beautiful.
"You look nice," he didn't even hear her last question.
"Thank you, what are you doing here?" She blushed at the compliment, as if he had called her the most beautiful woman since Marilyn Monroe. Nice was all he said, but it felt like he meant so much more.
"I moved back," he said as-a-matter-of-factly, completely monotonous.
Her heart stopped. He was back? Back for good? She had to fight the smile teasing the corner of her mouth. Was this real? "But, What? Why?" She could barely get it out.
Why did he want to move back? Because he missed her, everything about her. It was the hardest thing he'd done in a while to say goodbye to her at the bus station. That couldn't be the end he had told himself. He had to come back. He came back because he had to. But he couldn't exactly tell her all that. "I just, wanted to."
Rory didn't need to hear anymore to know what he meant. She lunged on him and kissed him like she had never kissed Dean before. She hadn't thought about what she was doing for a second, no thought rang through her head except that she needed him. She needed him and it scared her. Jess kissed back and deepened it. Her heart rate went up so high she could feel it pound throughout her whole body.
He was immensely surprised how spontaneous she had been with the kiss. What about him brought out her risky side? He thought to himself. But he didn't think for long, he had just gotten exactly what he'd wanted for months and months. All of the wait led to this moment, and he was going to take advantage of it.
They stood there kissing more and more passionately. The whole world around them disappeared, and they didn't want it to come back. They were both afraid of the moment when reality would hit, because with reality comes a million reasons why they should stop and why this is wrong.
Meanwhile
Loralei had just had her hear pulled out of its comfort zone by Christopher Hayden for the upteenth time. Sherry was pregnant. How could that happen? She cursed silently in her head repeatedly. She was choking on her tears she was refusing to let loose. They stung the back of her eyes, begging to be let free. She heard footsteps behind her. Hold it in Loralei, pull it together, she demanded. She turned around and saw her daughter's boyfriend, Dean looking very distressed.
"There you are! Now do you know where Rory is?" Dean asked audibly low on breath. He must have been running he thought. The wedding! It just hit her that Sookie was supposed to be getting married in about 5 minutes. This temporarily dislodged her from her current state of distress.
"Um Christopher said he left her over there." She pointed in a vague direction, which Dean miraculously understood what she meant, and he ran off.
Dean was almost mad at Rory for leaving him alone so long. Not only had been hit on by Miss Patty but he also had another interrogation from her lovely grandfather. What could she be possibly doing that he couldn't be with her? She's going to be heading off to D.C. soon she should be spending all the time she has left with him! Exasperated he finally reached the walkway and looked around. She wasn't there! He glanced down the hill and did not want to believe his eyes.
What was Jess doing back? And WHAT was he doing kissing Rory? Anger built up inside him and he ran as fast as he could down he hill.
Rory was too lost inside the kiss to hear any footsteps, but Jess had his ear open, listening for anyone who might be around. He shot his head up when he heard the sound of someone running rapidly towards them. He was on the ground almost as soon as he saw Dean standing in front of him.
Rory let out a scream when she heard Dean's fist make contact with Jess's cheek. She jumped back due to natural reaction. When she saw Dean he looked angrier than he had ever seen him.
"Rory why is he back?" He yelled. She started to get tears in her eyes and before she could answer Dean fell to the ground. Jess was now standing up looking hardly disheveled and Dean was slowly getting up, holding his nose as blood seeped through his hands.
"I came back because it is way too much fun to watch you get jealous and make yourself look like an ass," he said with his trademark sarcasm.
"Rory I knew you liked him, from the start you two have had a little thing going on!" Dean yelled.
"There was no little thing, we were just friends!" She was desperately trying to redeem herself, and was barely holding it together.
"Since when do friends make out where no one can see them?" Dean asked her. She could barely think at this moment, she had screwed up. She was holding back all her emotions for the sole purpose of not ruining her make up. She knelt her head down and whispered something. "What was that Rory? I didn't quite hear you!" Dean had let go of his nose, which did not appear to be broken. Jess merely watched and got madder and madder each time Dean yelled at her. "Rory what did you say?" He yelled.
"I said, they don't," she whimpered.
"Yeah that's what I thought. So if friends don't make out then why were you two doing just that?"
"Because," but she couldn't finish her statement. She hadn't been able to admit it to herself yet, let alone explain it to her boyfriend that was yelling at her why she had decided to kiss Jess Mariano, the resident bad boy.
"Because why Rory?" His voice raised and Jess was hardly holding himself together, the only thing keeping him from punching him in the face again was his want to hear Rory's answer.
Rory knew exactly why they were kissing, she knew exactly why she started it and why she didn't want it to end. Now all she had to do was say it out loud. It was the only fair thing to do for all of them.
"I kissed him because I like him, as more than a friend." She barely got the last part out. Jess's anger faded away and turned into disbelief. Did this amazing girl really like him the way that he liked her?
Dean's hurt was quickly masked with anger, "I knew it Rory. I knew it all along. You kept telling me there was nothing going on, 'oh Dean we're just friends!' Just friends my ass Rory! You know what, why don't I do you two a favor, Rory it's over!" He walked off, and not in the direction of the wedding.
Jess and Rory were standing alone together looking at the ground, neither of them knowing how to respond to her confession, and neither of them knowing how to react about the break up.
"So, um, do you wanna come to the wedding? You know, now that there's kind of an empty seat?" she asked as if nothing had just happened.
"Sure, that sounds good. Do you think anyone will mind?" He decided to go along with her pretending.
"No they'll be alright." She smiled at him and he showed a little smirk.
Rory ran up to Loralei just in time for the wedding, she barely made it. Her mother handed her a bouquet of flowers and simply stated,
"Sherry's pregnant," and Rory replied with,
"Dean and I broke up."
