Hey, it's Lauren!
You already know my stance on the whole "You hating Dean with all the fires of hell" thing (Altough Sam Winchester is so much cooler of a character, and hotter). So, yeah. But u know I love u anyway, so yay! LOL :D
BLACK PARADE ROCKS!

Thank you Lauren! Loves to you too! Black Parade MORE than Rocks though. I don't know if there is a word for it! Yes, I do hate DEAN, but Sam Winchester, I actually kind of like.

Anyway, Off To the Story. You'll LOVE this one

Chapter 10- Explainations, Repetation, and Scary Thoughts.

(An hour after The Last Chapter)

"Sometimes I hate being so damn caring," Finn mumbled to himself as he drove through the highway traffic, sun in his eyes.

He had jumped once Lorelai had called, worried that she was on the verge of her Gilmore temper and an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. When combined, Lor could be dangerous.

Just then his phone rang.

Thank God!

He flipped open the cell and left all formalities behind. "Do you want to tell me why Loreali called me in the bloody morning, waking me from a alcohol intoduced coma, looking for you?"

"What are you talking about Finn?" Andy's voice rang in his ear.

"I was enjoying a fairly erotic dream about a redhead I met last night, when Lor woke me up, talking about murder, looking for you and Rory. I could hear the tears through the phone. What the hell's going on mate?"

"Crap. Okay, something happened last night. Rory gave me some details during lunch, we're on our way back. Where are you?"

"About twenty minutes away from Stars Hollow. Care to explain said something?"

"I'm sure you'll find out soon enough," Andy growled.

This is bad. Mate doesn't ever growl. He's so bloody calm all the time, it's unnatural, Finn thought

"Listen man, you have to keep Lor away from people," Andy elaborated. "We have been on our way back for the past half hour. We'll be there in about an two hours. Traffic isn't an issue up here." (A/N: Not sure if this fits for driving time.)

"Lucky you!"

"Shut the hell up and drive."

With that, Andy hung up. Finn was pretty hurt that no one informed him of whatever was going on. He always felt like a trusted member of the foursome.

Guess that's what happens when your pissed and smashed all the damn time.

MEANWHILE In the SH.

Dean

Doose's wasn't as deserted as it was when Jess came in. It was literally buzzing, and Dean's arms hurt from all the stacking, unloading, and pricing he had been doing. He was putting up some milk in the fridges when a sweet old lady walked up to him.

"Excuse me young man, can you tell me where the wrapping paper and greeting cards are? My granddaughter's sixth birthday is next week," she said sweetly.

"Well, sure, they are over there. I'll show --" he began but was cut off by Kirk.

"I'll show you ma'm. Let's let Mr. Forester put those gallons up," Kirk said, glaring at Dean and leading the lady away.

He could see Kirk whispering to her, and the lady putting her hand over mouth as they turned the aisle.

Dean felt stares piercing him, and looked around at the store. Everyone was glaring at him, but they quickly turned away. He didn't realize it just then, but his secret was out.

Mess with Stars Hollow's most beloved resident, you mess the entire town. That was something he'd soon find out.

Lorelai

"What the hell am I going to do?" she whispered sitting in her living room.

Miss Patty and Babette had stormed the Inn, asking for her. After a thouroughly disgruntled Michel retrieved her from the kitchen, where she was telling Sookie all about Jess and Rory, she led the ladies to the sitting room.

They went into detail about how Jess had come into Doose's, forcing Dean into a private corner, talking about how it was Dean's fault Rory could barely move her arm, how Jess wasn't going to stand for it, and that he threatened Dean if he ever came near her. They also went into detail about Jess' subtle, yet heroic and chivelress beating of the boy.

Lor had made the mistake of mumbling about the bruise on her shoulder, which had led Miss Patty and Babette into an uproar. Lorelai stood up and went to tell Michel to take over for the day, and that she wasn't feeling well. The look on her face must have convinced him, because he didn't make any oh-so-witty remarks.

She had driven over to the Crapshack after a frantic call to Finn outside the Independance, and quietly mulled over all her options. She could put the fear of God into him, and threaten to kill him, but she was still pretty shaken up. A boy she trusted had hurt her daughter, even though they were long since broken up, and the boy she hated for her daughter, ended up being up the one to help her.

How could this have happened? she thought. I have amazing sense of judgement. How could I have screwed up in the most important thing in my life. My daughter's wellbeing!

After a bit of coffee to refuel her, Lorelai's Gilmore instinct came back over her. She needed to get the entire story from Jess, and then hurt Dean in every way possible. Andy and Finn could rip up the pieces she left.

Jess

He was sitting in his room, reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King when he heard a commotion downstairs. After trying to blast his Metallica up just under "Pissed Luke" level, he still heard the yelling. After hearing Luke's voice screaming, he put aside the book and decided to at least enjoy the show. He put down the book and walked downstairs, to see Lorelai yelling at Luke to let her see-

Me?

"You. Upstairs. Now," Lor demanded, grabbing him by the arm, shoving him upstairs.

As soon as she shoved him in the apartment/office, she locked the door and turned to him. "What the hell happened with my daughter last night? Because I am getting all kinds of stories told to me."

Jess was silent for a minute. After her mild "Tell me" glare turned into a lethal death glare, he spoke up.

"I'm not sure it's for me to tell. Rory should be the one to give you the details," Jess said, toughening up.

Why the hell should I be afriad of her for? Fine, she's my girlfriend's mother, but she's already deemed me a jackass. She doesn't even know me and she hates me.

"I don't care. You're going to tell me or you'll be at the receiving end of one of those Stephen King novels," she snapped, pointing at the coffee table.

"No," he said defiantly, sitting on the couch, attempting to pick his book up again. She snatched it from his hands. "I won't miss it. I've read it before."

"I want to know Jess."

"And I want to own a publishing firm. We all have wants."

"Enough with the smartass crap, if you care about Rory you'll tell me."

"If I care about Rory? Oh, that's rich," he snipped. "Last I heard, you thought I couldn't give a damn about Rory. That's why you hate me so much isn't it? Because you think I'd hurt Rory, like her dad did you?"

She stood shocked. "How-how do you know about Chris?"

"Small town. You hear things. I'm not wrong am I? He used to come roaring through here on his Harley, and just last summer, you two were getting back together, when his girlfriend gets herself pregnant? You think I'm him."

"You don't know what you're talking about. This isn't what I came here for, and that doesn't matter. What the hell happened?!"

"Guess I shouldn't take it too personal, huh?" Pause. "Rory asked me not to say anything."

"Well, I am telling you to say something."

"Something."

"Jess!"

He looked around and sighed. He closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He could visualize the entire town in the diner, listening to their shouting match. He turned on his stereo and pointed to the bathroom. He headed towards it, her in tow.

"This isn't the part where you kill me is it?" Lorelai asked, not getting what the cloak and dagger routine was about.

"If it took more than 5 shots in a public street to take down the Godfather, it'll take something much more creative than this to off a Gilmore Girl." They wore matching smirks. "Besides, the entire town is downstairs, and we weren't exactly keeping low voices now were we?"

"Could you tell me now?"

"Alright. Me and Rory, we were, well, kissing behind the wall of the stairs of the High School. Dean was at the preliminary hockey try-outs, he must of seen us, and I don't know, snapped. We got into a fight, he took the upperhand for a second, only because he's taller, and Rory tried to pull him off. He pushed -no, more like slammed- her into the wall. I punched him, made sure Rory was okay, and he left like the coward he is. You trust him but not me?" he couldn't help but adding.

"I'm sorry okay? I was wrong? Are you happy?"

"No. I was happy when I made sure he wasn't going to hurt her again. How'd you find out about this anyway?"

"Patty and Babette saw and heard you two in the market."

"Oh Shit."

"Yeah... Jess? Thank you for looking out for her."

"Anytime."

Finny Dear!!!!

He parked hazardly in front of the diner, where he thought Lorelai may be. It was no secret that the certain owner had a thing for Lor. And that she trusted him more than just about anyone. He knew that if she was panicking, she'd come to him.

Slipping into the diner discretly, he heard the yelling above. Everyone in the restuarant was obviously trying to listen, but not make it known, because they knew Luke would flip out. Finn locked eyes with Luke and the elder man nodded. Finn headed up the stairs, hearing Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" play.

He opened the door quietly, and heard the conversation in the bathroom. Hearing Lorelai's urgent voice, he tuned in to the barely audible voices over the music. He heard the general idea of what had everyone on edge, and just then, the song changed.

Seek and Destroy. Damned irony.

Tristan!(Oh, you know this is going to be good.)

Tristan pulled into Rory's house, which he had never been to. He had looked it up on Whitepages online and Mapquested it. He wanted to thank her for his sister's gift and return some notes he had borrowed. Sure, it could have waited until school the next day, but he had to leave his house. And although they had made it clear things were just going to be platonic, he had hoped that she would agree to be more normal friends. If he couldn't date her, he would be fine being around her as a friend.

What the hell am I doing to myself?

He was walking up to the porch when he heard a woman's voice screech in the house next to them.

"MAURY! You'll never believe what's going on with Lorelai's girl, Rory! It's going to be trouble! MAURY??" the voice yelled.

Tristan winced at first, and then quickly registered something was wrong with Mary. He knocked on the door, but no answer. He knocked again. Same response.

Guess no one's home.

He turned back to the car and, in the corner of his eye, saw the lady adjusting some lawn gnomes in her yard. He thought against it for a moment, and then decided if he didn't find out, he'd go crazy.

"Um, excuse me?" he called out, as the woman's attention turned to him. "Did you say something was wrong with Rory Gilmore?"

"Oh, yeah, big trouble. You know Rory?" the woman asked.

Obviously the same woman, he noted, as he heard her voice.

"I'm a friend from school. Is she okay?" he said, his voice ringing with geniune concern.

"We aren' sure. Word is she left to New York with her cousin. But from what I've heard, she has a big bruise on her shoulda, that her ex-boyfriend, Dean, gave her. Tall guy, dark hair, amazing touche'. You know who I'm talking about?"

Farmer John, he thought, and his fists immediately clenched.

"We've met, once or twice," He said through gritted teeth.

"Well, anyway, Jess, a real James Dean type who's obsessed with Rory, came storming into the market, where Dean works you see, screaming about how if he ever comes near her, he'll beat the shit outa of him.

"It's real odd, ya know? Ask anybody, and they'll tell you no one woulda figured Dean for an abusa. If anybody was gonna hurt our lil' Rory, we woulda guessed it was gonna be Jess. People surprise ya huh?"

"Yeah, they do. Uh, thanks ma'm, but I have to go. I was just going to return something to Rory, but I guess no one's home. Hope everything turns out alright."

"I'm sure it will sugar!"

Oh, I know it will. Because I'm going to make Bagboy pay.

Twenty Minutes Away

Rory & Andy

They were sitting in the car in complete silence, Andy speeding through, cutting people off, and earning a few not-so-kind gestures. He was hoping to get there as soon as possible, in order to be the head of the torches, though he'd never tell that to Rory.

Andy had told her that her mother must have found out, which means the entire town should know by now.

Rory loved her town. Stars Hollow was her home, the place she grew up. Nothing sould compare to the memories. And that's why she knew that they needed to get down there. That town loved her just as much, and she knew that the place was full of Aslylum Outpatients. God only knew what they would do to Dean if she didn't get there.

"This is only the calm before the storm isn't it?" Rory asked her cousin.

He didn't speak, but the grim expression in his eyes was all the answer she needed.

"This is going to be like Silence Of The Lamb on one person," she said, voicing her thoughts, and managing to grow paler than usual.

I hope you liked this one. I had to brong Tristan in! If I am going to get people riled up against Dean, even though I don't think it's that bad, Tristan has to be holding a pitchfork. I mean, okay, it was fight, people get carried away! I've done the same thing before! Anyhow, I tried to get Babette's accent into this chapter.

Alrighty! Now I wanted to have a little fun with my fans, and I AM HOLDING A CONTEST! People, YOU write the next chapter, PM me with it, and I will pick the winner. It'll be fun! Plus, I'm not sure how you guys want this to go...
