*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I
won is my imagination and the plot.
*A/N: Hey!!! I havent'updated in a while and I'm sorry. I really am, but with school and all I haven't had the time. I'll update Around as soon as I can. Anyway I woke up one night, grabbed a pen and wrote this down. I hope everyone likes it. Please review and tell me what you think. I'll update this after I'm done with Around and Wanna bet ?, promise. And as you guys have noticed I'm going through some kind of fase where I like to write angst. I'll go back to writing fluff after this. Review, thanks.
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
Jess Mariano was lying on his bed, reading a book when suddenly there was a knock on the door. He sighed and got up. It was probably one of his friends. They were always trying to get him to go to a party with them, but he never did. He's rather stay home and read. Why didn't they just get that ? He threw his book on his bed and went to open the door. When he saw who was standing there, he couldn't believe his eyes.
J: ''Rory ?''
The last time he spoke to her was back in Stars Hollow. He had heard from Luke that she had moved to New York. He had even given Jess Rory's address, but he never visited her though. Jess figured that since she didn't tell him about her moving to NYC that she didn't want anything to do with him. And he had accepted that. They did have their own lives after all. His life didn't revolve around her, but he had never forgotten about her though. She was always there in the back of his mind and every now an then he would close his eyes and think about her and the time that they had spend together in Stars Hollow. Just thinking about it, made him wanna smile. He would remember every word that she had said to him and every kiss that they had shared. And for a moment everything would be perfect. But then reality would hit him and he was forced to open his eyes again and stop dreaming. Reality was that they had broken up when he had decided to go back to New York, without her. And reality was that he knew that he had hurt her by not letting her go with him. That memory was always around to haunt him. And he thought that she would never wanna speak to him again and yet here she was. Standing right in front of him.
R: ''Hi, Jess.''
Finally Jess looked at her. He shifted his eyes to her feet and slowly brought his eyes up until he reached her face. He could only see half of her face, the other half was hidden by her hair. He tried to meet her eyes, but she avoided them.
R: ''Can I come in, please ?''
Jess looked at her again and took a step back. He couldn't say no to her and besides she still meant something to him. She would always mean something to him.
J: ''Of course.''
After he let Rory into his apartment, he closed the door and turned around.
J: ''So, what are you doing here ?''
R: ''I.......I don't know.''
Rory quickly glanced up at Jess. When she saw the weird look that he was giving her, she lowered her eyes again. She couldn't blame him for giving her a weird look, but she wasn't sure what she was doing here. A moment ago she was ready to tell him everything, but now that she was in his apartment, standing only a few feet away from him, she wasn't so sure anymore. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea as she thought that it was. He would find her anyway, he always did. And when he did, things would only get worse........much worse. If she went back now he would never know that she had left in the first place. Yeah, she should go back, she had to go back.
R: ''I'm sorry, I should go.''
She started to head for the door.
J: ''Rory.......''
R: ''I'm sorry for bothering you.''
Rory opened the door and wanted to leave, bust Jess placed his hand on the door and closed it. Rory took a step back and looked at the door. She didn't wanna turn around, she was too afraid to.
J: ''Rory.......''
Rory didn't answer. All she could think about was Bryan and what he would do to her once he found out that she was gone. Suddenly Jess grabbed Rory's arm and forced her to turn around. Rory immediately pulled her arm free and backed up against the door. Jess was a little taken back by her reaction.
J: ''Rory, what's wrong ?''
Rory didn't answer.
J: ''Rory.''
He took a step towards her and reached for her face.
R: ''Don't.''
Jess stopped and took a closer look at Rory. Something was different about her.
J: ''Rory, look at me.''
Rory bit her bottom lip and looked up at him. She slowly wiped her hair away from her face and met his eyes. As soon as he saw her black eye he reached out his hand again to touch her face and to take a closer look at her eye.
J: ''What happened ?''
R: ''Nothing. It was an accident.''
Jess knew that she was lying. He had seen this before, but he never thought that it would happen to Rory. Suddenly he unzipped her cardigan. Rory tried to stop him.
R: ''What are you doing ?!''
J: ''Take it off.''
His voice was barely above a whisper.
R: ''What ?''
J: ''Take off your cardigan.''
R: ''No.''
J: ''That black eye wasn't an accident, was it ?''
Rory shook her head and started to take off her cardigan. When she removed her cardigan, it revealed her bare arms. There were bruises all over them. Jess slowly ran his fingers over one of her arms. She cringed and bit her lip from screaming. It just hurt so much. Jess removed his hand from her arm and looked up at her.
J: ''Is there more ?''
Rory nodded and grabbed the bottom of her top. She slowly started to lift it up until the bare skin of her stomach was showing. There were bruises on it too. Jess reached for her stomach, but Rory let go of her top so that the bruises were covered again.
R: ''I have them on my back too..........I even have them on my legs.''
J: ''Who did this to you ?''
Rory didn't answer and turned her eyes away from Jess' worried gaze.
J: ''Rory, tell me.''
R: ''I can't. He'll find me.''
J: ''Who will find you ?''
Rory still didn't say a thing.
J: ''Rory, please. He doesn't have the right to do this to you. It's wrong.''
Rory locked eyes with Jess.
R: ''Don't you think I know ?''
J: ''Who did this to you ?''
Rory closed her eyes and waited a while before she opened them again.
R: ''Bryan, his name is Bryan Macanon.''
J: ''Who is he ?''
R: ''My boyfriend.''
J: ''Your boyfriend ?''
R: ''Yes.''
J: ''How long have you been together ?''
R: ''Almost a year.''
J: ''When did he start hitting you ?''
R: ''Two months after me first met.''
J: ''And you stayed with him ? After what he did to you ?''
Rory nodded.
J: ''Why ? Why didn't you do something about it ? Why didn't you tell anyone ?''
R: ''I just did.''
J: ''Yeah, but you waited for what, almost ten months to tell someone ?''
R: ''I wanted to.''
J: ''Then why didn't you Rory ?!''
When Jess raised his voice she got scared again. Bryan would always yell at her when she did something wrong in his eyes. But the yelling wasn't the worst part, what came after the yelling.........that scared her the most. He would grab her and hurt her. He always did. Suddenly she became mad. She started to get mad at Jess for not understanding. She finally got the courage to tell him and this was what she got ?
R: ''Because I couldn't ! I wanted to, I really did, but it felt as if he was always there, watching me. And the first couple of time I did try to fight him, but he was too strong.''
Tears started to form in her eyes.
R: ''Do you know what it felt like when he hit me ? Do you know how much it hurt ? You don't ! So don't tell me that I would have told someone sooner. I tried, okay, I tried. But I was scared of him. Of his voice, his hands.''
Then Rory broke down and started to cry. Jess moved closer to Rory and took her in his arms.
J: ''I'm sorry.''
R: ''Let go of me.''
She tried to push Jess away, but Jess didn't let go of her. Instead he pulled her even closer.
J: ''I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.''
Finally Rory gave in and buried her head in Jess' chest.
J: ''It's okay. You're safe here. He won't hurt you ever again.''
Rory kept on crying.
J: ''Promise.''
He kissed her hair and held her.
When Rory heard Jess' comforting words she felt safe. She could always rely on Jess to protect her. She couldn't believe that she had waited so long to tell him. Everything was going to be alright.
