After the hang-up with Lane, Rory decided to go back to her suite. Maybe
helping Paris would get her mid off her problems. As she walked in though,
she realized Paris had no problems. Because right in front of her, Paris
was making out on the couch with some guy Rory didn't even know.
"Um, excuse me?" Rory said, perhaps a little too mean." But this is not playtime, okay? So if you don't mind, I'm going in to MY suite."
"How dare you?" Paris said as she barged into Rory's room," You don't even know him!"
"And you know him so well!" Rory snapped back. She hated that that all her friends had moved on without her.
"I know him well enough to know that he thought that was down right rude! And I think that too! This isn't only YOUR suite, y'know!" Paris snapped back." But it's all about you, isn't? I mean, Dean liked you, Tristan liked you, and Jess liked you. And when I get one guy that might actually like me, you go and do that! Thanks a lot!"
Oh man! Rory thought. What am I doing? I've ruined things with Dean by sleeping with him, I ruined things with Lane by only talking about Dean, and now Paris hates me for ruining her next possible relationship! What she needed was a Mom-factor, because now matter what, Mom was always there. Rory called at home, on her cell-phone and at the Inn, but Mom was nowhere! How can this be happening? Rory thought. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Maybe Paris wants to make up, Rory thought, although she was pretty sure it wasn't
"Jess?" Rory said as she opened the door. She almost hugged him. Of course! Jess would always be there for her! Jess was always a good friend. Not a great boyfriend, but always a good friend.
"Rory, before you say anything let me talk" Jess said. As he walked in the room, Rory noticed how great his abs looked in that shirt. "Rory, I know before you said no to me, but that was the old me! I don't want to run away to just anywhere anymore! I want to stay in my nice and tidy apartment, with my job, and talk some college courses at the Community College whenever I can. I know why you said no to the old me before, but this is the new me, please, can we try again?"
"Jess," Rory said slowly, trying to think of the right words. Finally she blurted, "You deserve better than me!" and ran out of the room in tears! She heard Jess calling after her, but she didn't care anymore. She got her car and just drove. She didn't realize until halfway there she was driving to Dean's new condo. When she got there, she got out of the car and yelled, " DEAN! DEAN!"
Dean walked out of his condo looking around. "Dean, down here!" Rory yelled.
"Rory?" Dean said, not believing what he saw. Then Rory surprised Dean (and herself) and ran up to Dean and kissed up, open-mouthed.
"Dean." Rory said again, pulling back. This was wrong, all wrong. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help herself. She tried to pull away, but Dean pulled her back and kissed her again. And at that moment, Right and Wrong didn't matter. The only thing that matter was Dean.
