The Other Man
Jess' POV of him, Rory and Dean
Spoilers: Not really.
Rating: PG
Belongs... not to me. Just a humble fan writing a little extension to the genius of Amy Sherman-Palladino and friends... Also I don't own any part of the song "The Other Man" by Sloan. Actually, go out there and buy their CD. It's awesome!
A/N: My name's Emily and this is just a little POV/songfic from Jess. I think it's kind of mean, but realistic. I don't know. I think I might have gone a little overboard in a couple of parts, but I think it has a touch of the nitty-gritty that is no doubt in Jess' thoughts. Anywho, please R&R. All criticism is welcome! izzyandfelix@hotmail.com
Ever since I met Rory Gilmore, there's been this something between us. I don't know what it is, but it's absolutely electric.
"You know he's not the one for you,
But that's no fault of mine..."
When I found out she was dating that pansy-boy, clean-cut Dean, I almost threw up. They couldn't be together! They're both so different. He's just so boring while she's intelligent, interesting and eclectic. They don't fit right and I've known that from the moment I met the grocery-boy. Maybe she didn't realize it right away, but I think she's starting to see it now.
"...I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet.
We've all been in one situation or another we regret..."
I love knowing that I piss off Dean. I love knowing that I'm gradually changing Rory's mind about him. I especially love knowing that Dean knows this.
"Yeah, I'm the other man,
No one's rooting for me.
If I'm the other man,
Nature will abhor me."
I know that almost no one can stand me. And I know that on one ever really supports "the other man," but it's not something I have nay control of. It doesn't really matter that I have no one on my side because "the other man" always gets the girl.
Sometimes I think I might have Luke on my side. I don't think he really likes Dean any more than I do.
"...He knows you're going to drift apart
And there's nothing he can say..."
Again, no matter what Dean does to try to keep Rory under his spell, it's going to break eventually. And I think that day is coming sooner than later.
"...We've all been in one situation or another.
It's my turn..."
I don't really like having to do it in such an underhanded way, but it comes with the job of being the "bad boy." And the end result is worth all the trouble.
"...To be the other man.
No one sympathizes.
When you're the other man,
Everyone despises.
"He's going to find out that the rumors are true,
Although they are still unbeknownst to you.
You'll find out, so I tell you because
You've got to find out before he does..."
I'm going to tell her. How I feel. How I need her. How hard I have tried not to hurt her, but how I need her to understand.
Really, I'm not a bad guy. But the only way to get the good girl is going about getting her in a bad way.
She helped me and she has to see what she's done for me.
