I don't own Gilmore girls
Jess drove down the roads that were familiar yet hidden so deeply in his memory that he was scared to pull them out. He drove towards a place he once called home. A place he felt so alive and so dead all at the same time. he pulled in front of Luke's diner and parked the car. He got out and took a deep breath. He hadn't been back here since his mother's wedding and he didn't really think he would have ever came back. But Rory needed him more then he felt the need to run.
Walking through the door felt surreal. As the bell jingled above the door no one seemed to look up so he walked to the counter where Lane was filling some Coffee cups. "I'll be with you in a minuet." Lane said not looking up as she finished pouring coffee. "Now what can I do for you?" Lane looked up and almost dropped the coffee pot. "Jess." The minuet she said his name it seemed that all the inhabitants of the diner looked at them.
"Well look at that." Miss Patty smirked. "Jess Mariano graces us with his presence once again.
"Jess what are you doing here?" Lane asked trying to gain her bearings.
"I came to get food for everyone at the hospital if you could make that fast I'd appreciate it I don't think any of them have eaten in a while."
"Right yeah okay." Lane grabbed a pad of paper and a pen. "What can I get for you?"
Jess gave her is order Just as Taylor walked through the door. "Mariano." He sneered "What are you doing here?"
"Don't worry Taylor I'm not here to cause trouble." Jess rolled his eyes. "I just need to get food for Luke Lorelai Rory and Mrs. Gilmore and then it's back to Hartford."
"Why would you be going to Hartford?"
"Because Mr. Gilmore is in the hospital that's why now if you can stop being Nosy I'd appreciate it. " Jess took the four large cups of coffee Lane had poured him and turned away from Taylor as he waited for the rest of his order. Miss. Patty had ran out of the Diner as soon as she'd heard the news about Mr. Gilmore she was going to get the scoop on East side Tilly if it killed her. The rest of the people in the diner where just shocked that Jess had actually talked to Taylor that way.
"I will not be talked to in that fashion young man." Taylor said.
"Here you go Jess and Tell Rory that we'll all in her corner." Lane said as she put the bags of food down on the counter.
"Thanks Lane." Jess picked up the bags and the coffee's and walked towards the door. As he walked out of it he turned back around and looked straight at Taylor. "News Flash Taylor you don't now nor have you ever owned this town. So get off your freaking high horse." With that Jess Left the dinner in total silence and he didn't even notice a frightened Kirk hovering in the bush he'd jumped into at just the sound of Jess's voice. Jess shook his head at the stupidity of some of the people in that town as he got into the car and put the food down making sure not to spill any of the precious coffee he headed back to Hartford.
"Why I never." Taylor fumed as they town watched Jess drive away.
"He has a point." Babette pointed out.
"Babette." Taylor was scandalized.
"Well you don't own the down and all Jess was doing was getting food for Rory learn to play nice and maybe others would play nicely with you Taylor."
"I don't have to put up with this I have a shipment of candy coming in." Taylor stormed out of the diner and towards the Soda Shoppe. Everyone in the diner chuckled as they watched Taylor struggle to open a box of candy through the glass window. Well in the back of most of the townspeople's minds was a prayer for Richard Gilmore. The townspeople may not have known him well but he was the father of their Gilmore girls and thus one of their own.
A/N Shorter than usual but the next chapter has to be it's own chapter. Thanks to those that reviewed and please review. I've got up to Chapter eight outlined right now.
