-Rory


Rory had been up all night rereading "Oliver Twist" along with the book
notes from Jess. It was about 7:00am when she finished the book. She kept
stopping to reread things that Jess had written. She was smiling the
whole night. She finished the book and then just layed back on her bed
and rolled on her side and just stared at out at nothing. Jess... he was
gone. I can't believe it. It was like he was here and you couldn't get
rid of him then all of a sudden he's gone and ... and you wish he wasn't.
But why did he leave? The only person she knew who would know for sure
why he was gone would be Luke. She got off her bed quickly, put on jeans
and red tee-shirt and scribbled a quick note for her Mom and places it on
her pillow.

Mom -

Went to Luke's. Be back soon. I'll bring back coffee and muffins for you.
If you can't hold out till then there is coffee in the cupboard so don't
destroy the house looking, we need the house remember?

Love ya
Ror

She arrived at Luke's and saw Luke was there behind the counter. She opened
the door and the bell rang but this time Luke didn't look to see who walked
on. His back was to her and it looked like he was one the phone. She sat
down at the counter and clunked her cast on the counter and waited for him
to finish.


-Luke

He looked over his shoulder and there was Rory. Quickly he looked at her wrist
and saw the blue cast. He just sighed. He was on the phone with Liz. She was
yelling at Jess and at Luke via phone at the same time. Jess kept on cursing
at her and telling her it wasn't his fault. Liz and Jess have had there share
of fights before. Some really bad but this one was the worst. He didn't know
what to do to calm Liz down because she was getting Jess more upset and by
doing that more wild. He didn't know what to do and he felt so helpless...

::phone conversation::

Liz - ::to Jess:: You Fucking Idiot! You almost killed a girl. You should have
broken your wrist not that girl. What were you doing with her anyway. ::to Luke::
LUKE WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING LEAVING JESS ALONE WITH THIS GIRL.YOU KNOW MY
KID IS A FUCKING IDIOT WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND.
::to Jess:: What was she doing with you Jess? A Tramp looking for a good time
with a good ass LOSER HUH JESS?ANSWER ME GOD DAMN IT.

Luke - :: realizes that this is going to turn out very bad and trys to talk to
Liz but lowering his voice so Rory doesn't hear:: Liz stop saying that to him.
Stop it your going to make it worse.

Jess - ::Luke hears Jess in the backround,hears that Jess is very upset:: Shut
the fuck up mom. You don't know shit. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. :: hears things
being thrown and broken:: SHUT UP . SHUT UP . SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Liz - :: screaming at Jess:: DON'T YOU FUCKING TELL ME TO SHUT THE FUCK UP
YOU ASSHOLE :: hears more things fall over and glass break:: GET OVER HERE
DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ::hears door slam loudly::

Luke - :: very angry and pissed:: Why do you do this to your kid for? Why?

Liz - :: furious:: GOD DAMN IT. You know what Luke. Shut up. It's your fault
this happened. All I wanted was some peace and quiet from my kid who's a loser
like his father and all I asked from you was to make sure he went to school.
Not joyride with some girl looking for a good time. :: Luke cuts her off::

Luke - HEY! Liz don't talk about things you know nothing ...
:: Liz cuts him off::

Liz - I should have never let Jess go there, what was the fuck was I thinking?
That my 30 something year old still single brother would take care of my mistake.
Fuck this he's going with his father, where ever he is, I can't deal with him
anymore. ::Liz hangs up::

Luke hangs up the phone and just breathes for a second. "Damn it Jess" he thinks
to himself,"Damn it." He turns to Rory avoiding her eyes.

Luke - Coffee? :: pours her a cup and gives it to her::

Rory - Yes Thanks ::she fixes her coffee and then looks at him:: Luke?

Luke- What Rory?

Rory - Why? Why did Jess leave. It was an accident, I know it was I was there.
He didn't have to leave. ::feels herself getting upset, sips coffee::

Luke - ::knows she's talking about Jess:: ::looks at her:: Certain people didn't
want him here anymore. He took responsibility for what happened and felt leaving
would make it better. Better for everyone.

Rory - What people? ::voice turns very stern::

Luke - People in Stars Hollow

Rory - :: doesn't really want to hear the answer:: Like my Mom?

Luke - ::just looks at her:: Leave it alone. He's gone, Things will go back to normal.
Me and Jess think its better that way for everyone.

Rory- NO IT'S NOT. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. ::starts tearing out of "frustration"::

Luke - Rory sit down :: trying to calm her down:: Come on and relax. You want
something to eat?

::People in the dinner are starting to look::

Rory - ::gets up and storms out of the diner::

Luke watches her go and feels a sinking feeling in his chest. First Lorelai walks
away from him and now Rory. ::he shakes his head sadly::


-Dean


Dean's unloading his baggage from the car and he sees Rory. He grabs the luggage
that held her presentand starts calling after her. She doesn't seem to hear and
he start's to run after her and catches up easily.

Dean - :: grabs hold of her arm:: Ror?

Rory - ::her face is all red:: ::turns around and sees Dean:: Dean...Hi :: runs
hand through hair::

Dean - :: sees her red face and then catches sight of her blue cast:: Oh my God
Rory what happened.
::goes to hug her::

Rory - ::hugs him for a split second and pulls apart:: Oh It's nothing, I was in
an accident.

Dean - :: very worried and disappointed that he wasn't there for his girlfriend::
When did this happen?How did this happen? You should have called me I would have
come as soon as possible. What car was it? Was it your car?

Rory - ::looks at him nervously:: It's not a big deal I fractured my arm, don't
worry about it its really no big deal. This happened yesterday.

Dean - ::grabs her cast and looks at it:: Does it hurt? How did it happen?

Rory - ::tries to avoid question:: No not really. It barely hurts at all.

Dean - ::looks at her suspiciously now:: Rory ... How did this happen?

Rory- ::looks down at her feet and sifts nervously:: Well ... Last night I
was tutoring Jess ...

Dean - :: cuts her off:: Jess? JESS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?? :: throws
down his bag and kicks it:: THAT LITTLE PUNK? Where is he?? :: starts jogging
towards Luke's diner::

Rory - ::runs infront of him:: It's not his fault Dean. It's not! He swerved
the car because ::gets cut off by Dean::

Dean - :: stops movement:: Jess was driving your car? WHY? WHY WAS JESS DRIVING
YOUR CARE RORY?

Rory - ::figiting and not looking at Dean's eyes:: We went to get Ice Cream and...

Dean - ::looks Rory in the face,he's all red and very angry:: Where is he Rory?

Rory - ::looks like she's going to start crying but holding it in:: H...He's in
N..New York. He left yesterday.

Dean- ::looks surprised and face softens a little:: He left? ::then gets angry
again:: Why Rory? Why were you with him? Do you like him or something? You wait
till I leave and you go and hang out with Jess ...what is that Rory?? What's
going on with us? :: visibly upset:: I Love you Rory. I will always be there for
you. I would never pick up and leave you don't you realize that.

Rory- Im sorry Dean. I really am sorry. I love you. There's nothing with me and
Jess, were just friends I promise you. ::she repeats at once:: Just friends.
I Promise :: goes over and hug's Dean::

Dean- ::feels angry, upset, relieved, and hurt all at once. He doesn't know why
Rory has been acting so different lately but he hopes now that Jess is gone
once and for all that now things can go back to normal. Dean squeezes Rory
a little tighter::


-Lorelai

Walks into the kitchen and doesn't smell coffee. Lorelai yells out for Rory.
Doesn't hear movement in the house at all and goes into Rory's room and
see's the note. ::sighs sadly and sits on Rory's bed:: "She went to Luke's."

Lorelai sits at the kitchen table reading some papers reguarding the INN
when Rory walks in and sees her.

Lorelai - See the house is in one peice ::raises coffee mug to her::

Rory - Mom , did you say anything to Luke about Dean? ::stands with her
hands crossed::

Lorelai- Why? ::gets up to refill coffee:: What did Luke say?

Rory - Nothing. Why? Is there something he should say. Something
I dont know Mom ::getting upset and impatient::

Lorelai - Well I guess if you don't know then it wasn't meant for
you to hear then was it. ::getting aggravaited::

Rory - What did you say to Luke Mom tell me! ::raises her voice::

Lorelai - If you must know I told him that it was his fault this
happened to you ok! That Jess doesn't belong here and that you
wouldn't have that cast on if it weren't for Jess and him.

Rory - ::shocked at her mom:: I don't believe you Mom .Why do you
keep on blaming Jess he didn't do anything.

Lorelai - ::full blown anger:: This isn't open for discussion. Do
you understand?? I WIN! He's gone and I WIN.

Rory - ::shakes head angrily and runs away from her mom::

Lorelai - ::feeling remorse for how she spoke to Rory calls after her
but Rory is allready out the door::

::The phone rings::

Lorelai - ::picks up and has an impatient tone:: Hello??

Caller - ::staticy line:: Hello ... Rory?

Lorelai - ::can't figure out who it is:: No this is her mother who is
this? Dean? Dean is it you?

Caller - ::hangs up::

Lorelai - ::looks at phone:: Jess? There's no way.Jess doesnt't he
even have our phone number? ::shakes head in disbelief and sets
phone down::


-Jess

Jess sets down the phone quietly and looks at the phone while deciding
what to do next. Jess needed someone to talk to and the only one he
could or would confide in was Rory. He looked up at the Mid-Manhatten
library and walks in.He needed to think of what to do next because
he refused to walk back into his mother's house again. He wasn't planing
on going home so he needed to think of something. The only place he could
think of going that was remotely like home was Stars Hollow. ::Jess fought
with two voices inside of him ... one saying go back to Stars Hollow
and the other one saying no deal with it here, you did it once you can do
it again:: Jess sighed and started to sort through his thoughts trying to
come to a decision.
