Rory laughed as she pulled out of the driveway, looking back at her mother who had run out of the house after her. She still couldn't understand why she hated Jess as much as she did (an: Rory never knew that Jess took the bracelet). Rory just sighed, when Lorelai's mind was set on something, there was no changing it back. Jess would have had to have saved Rory from a burning building to redeem himself, but instead he had got Rory in a car accident. Leave it to Jess to do just the wrong thing at just the wrong time.

Rory stopped the Jeep at a light and waited for it to turn from yellow to red. That was the kind of thing Rory would do, follow the rules, perfect kid, goody two-shows. Even her boyfriend was the same way…and it drove her mad. Doing everything right for 17 years is boring, and Rory wanted change. That's why she had kissed Jess. When Jess came back from New York and showed up at Sookie and Jackson's wedding, she didn't know what to do with herself. She was so excited to see him, so relieved that he had come back, so thrilled that she had another chance, that she kissed him. Well, more like threw herself on him and then started kissing him. And just when he started to respond, she had run. She went on a trip with Paris to Washington DC and just left Jess there to dangle. And now she was going to talk to him. And straighten everything out, and tell him that she had a boyfriend. Then after, they would hang out all afternoon, Rory had told him about a good restraint in Hartford. They could talk about books and go back to normal. Just like it used to be.

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep" The cars blared their horns behind her.

"Oops," She said sheepishly, "Sorry!" Rory stuck her head out the window and called back to the cars.

"What? You got your head up your ass? Shut up and drive you little punk." An old woman called from the car behind her.

Shocked, Rory sent the car forward and to Luke's.

-((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

The Bell jingled above Rory's head as she walked into Luke's. Luke looked up at her, silently hoping it was Lorelai, then looking back down when he realized it was Rory.

Luke, not wanting to look at anybody, kept his head down and mumbles "Hey Rory, what can I get you?"

She smiled sweetly at him, "Nothing, just looking for Jess, you know where he is?"

Luke's features lightened when he realized that somebody in the town didn't hate Jess, "Yeah, he's upstairs."

"Thanks Luke."

Rory made her way up the stairs and to the door of the apartment. She took a deep breath before she went in.

'Okay Gilmore, you know the drill. You'll tell him the kiss meant nothing, you were just excited to see him, you still love Dean, and you want to be friends, and that you want to spend the rest of the afternoon catching up, Just as friends.' After Rory was sure of exactly what she was going to say, she knocked on the door and braced herself.

'Jess might come onto you, be strong!'

Jess opened the door and smiled. "Hey Rory, what can I-"

Before Jess could finish his sentence Rory jumped him, causing him to fall back into the apartment and onto the floor. She started kissing him franticly and all he could do was kiss her back. After he figured out what was happening, he kicked the door shut with his foot and out his hands on her waist.

'Way to go with the self control' she thought to herself, but made no motion to get off of Jess. In fact, she planned on staying right where she was until she was ready to talk about Dean…whenever that might be.

A/N; Aah! This chapter stunk even more than the first one! Thank you to all who read it and if you want to review I would love to hear what you had to say (constructive criticism welcome). I'll take all suggestions except any for character pairings (Especially people asking for Trories, Grrr!). Okay, thanks all, keep reading!
