A/N My first fic on fanfiction.net, so be easy on me!!!
Rory lay on her bed, trying to read. It was no use. She had to do
something. Quickly, she wrote her mom a note and left it on the table.
Dear Mom, I'm going to Luke's. Ill be back by 10 probably. Love, Rory.
She locked the door and walked out into the night. It was only 6 pm, but it
was November and it was dark already. Rory pulled her jacket tighter around
her body. She wished she had worn something warmer.
As she walked towards Luke's, she passed Doose's Market and peered in
through the window. They weren't going to close until 8, but business
looked pretty slow. She saw Dean standing in an aisle, oblivious to her
presence. He was stacking cans, but it looked like he was thinking about
something. Rory felt like maybe she should go in and keep him company, but
for some reason, she really didn't want to. She didn't know why she had
left her house, but all of her homework was done and she had nothing to do.
She walked into Luke's, the bell dinging as she made her way towards the
counter. Luke was in the back, and as he heard someone come in, he came up
behind the counter.
"Hey Rory," He said as she removed her jacket and sat down.
"Hi Luke. Um... Ill have coffee and a burger please."
"Sure, it'll only be a minute." Luke said as he went into the kitchen.
Just then, Jess came downstairs. Seeing Rory, he went behind the counter.
She didn't seem to notice him. She looked like she was lost in thought.
She turned around and saw Jess looking at her.
"Oh, hi, I didn't see you there!" She said, smiling at him.
You never do, he thought. "Hey Rory." He said, smiling back at her. He
wasn't in a talking mood, but he never grew tired of talking to her. They
sat in a comfortable silence for a while, and then Luke came out with her
burger. He poured some coffee, and seeing Jess standing there, he grew
somewhat uncomfortable. Jess opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say
something to her. Then he closed it, thinking better of it. Luke smiled
inwardly; he knew that Jess liked Rory, and that Rory didn't know it at all.
"I'm going to Doose's, we're out of hamburger rolls," Luke said as he
walked out the door. Jess nodded, indicating that he'd be alright. Rory
was the only customer there.
"So..... what've you been up to lately?" Rory asked, smiling at him.
"Um.. Not much. How bout you?" Jess replied. He smiled back at her.
"Oh, well Mom and I went to an eventful dinner last night." Jess raised
his eyebrows. "I don't want to talk about it..." Rory said, shrugging
slightly.
"Whatever." Jess said, taking out a rag and washing the counter top. Rory
finished her burger and sipped her coffee until there was none left.
Reluctantly, she stood up and walked out the door, the bell dinging softly
as the door closed behind her. Jess stared at her as she walked down the
sidewalk outside the diner. She was so graceful, so beautiful.
Dean looked up as Rory passed by Doose's. She was walking in the direction
of her house, and it looked like she had been either at the diner or the
bridge. Those were the only places in the direction that she was coming
from that she ever went to. Either way, she had been with Jess. Dean
sighed. Of course. Where else would she be? With him? Oh, no, she had
better things to do than hang out with her boyfriend. Of course, whenever
he confronted her about it, she denied it, and looked so innocent that Dean
believed her.
"Rory!" He called out, opening the door of the store. She turned around
abruptly, surprised.
"Oh, hi Dean." She said, not sounding very happy to see him. Typical.
Dean sighed. He had to get this over with. He didn't want to, but he had
to. It was unavoidable.
"Rory, um, we..... need to talk." he said, looking down.
"About what, Dean?"
"About...... us."
"Uh-huh" She said, waiting for him to continue
"You know, ever since Jess came to town, I think we've been....... growing
apart." He said. Rory nodded, looking at him expectantly.
"And I realized that, maybe, we weren't really.... meant to stay together
forever. I mean, you'll be going off to some Ivy League school soon and I
won't, and I was thinking... maybe we should break up." It broke his heart
to say this, but he knew he had to.
"Yeah." Rory said, her eyes brimming with tears. She wasn't upset because
she didn't want to break up, it was more about the finality of it all. She
had been with Dean for so long. Now, it was over.
"Bye Rory. I'll miss you. I'll see you around."
"Goodbye Dean." She said softly, but he had already turned away, and her
words were lost in the night.
