A/n hey everyone!! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to put up a new chapter! Writers block. You know how it goes. I wrote myself into a corner and I didn't know what to do but I think I found a new way to go ahead with the story so here we go!! Oh and I didn't say it before but I do not own!! If I did do you really think I would have let Rory walk out on Jess?? I don't think so. So here we go again.

"Jess! baby! HELP!"

"Jeez! Did you buy the whole store?"

"No I just wanted to make the apartment look pretty, I'm making you diner tonight."

"You don't cook."

"Hello! Ever hear of a cook book? Martha Stuart has like a million." Bianca said as she waved a copy of Martha's latest book in Jess's face.

"Oh right I forgot about Martha. Bianca, can we talk upstairs?"

"Why?"

"Please."

"Just tell me now jess."

"I wanna do this in private."

"Oh no…"

"What?"

"I'm such an idiot!"

"What are you-?"

"I actually thought you would say yes! Um I have to go."

"Bianca!"

"What jess? What else do you want to say?"

"Well first of all I haven't even said anything, and second…will you marry me?"

"Did you just propose to me?"

"Yes."

"That's not fair! I proposed to you!"

"Fine, Then I'm saying yes."

"Me too."

Everyone in the diner was just sitting in their chairs with their mouths hanging open. Jess was getting married. Jess was marring someone who wasn't Rory. Nobody could grasp this concept, especially Rory. Jess loves Rory. She knew it! Everybody knew it! Why was he doing this?

"So I guess congratulations are in order?" said Logan who was looking extremely smug at the moment. Well more so than usual to say the least.

"Yea. Thank you." said Jess who was looking at Rory the entire time he shook Logans hand. Logan in turn threw a possessive arm around Rory and began to lead her out of the diner. Rory, trying to find her voice and with tears threatening to spill out of her eyes, barely managed to choke out a whisper of a congratulations to jess before she left the diner all the while never meeting his eyes.

"So what the hell was all that about?" Logan asked when they were far enough from the diner so that nobody could hear them.

"What Jess and Bianca?"

"Sure that, or you and Jess."

"What are you talking about Logan?"

"I saw they way he was looking at you."

"How was he looking at me?"

"Like he wanted to take you into the back room and have his way with you."

"Logan!"

"And you know what? The way you were looking at him makes me think that if he were to do that, you wouldn't have put up a fight."

"Excuse me?! What did you just say?"

"You heard me. Tell me I'm wrong."

"I wouldn't do that."

"Oh no? You would wait till I'm out of town again wouldn't you?"

"How-"

"You thought I didn't know about your trip to Philly?"

"I wasn't hiding it. I didn't do anything wrong. Jess invited me to his open house and I really wanted to go! I'm so incredibly proud of him Logan cant you understand that? After that disastrous dinner we had, which by the way was your fault, I wanted to make it up to him. And despite what you may think nothing happened! I mean it's not like I slept with him or anything." She practically spat the last part out.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"You know exactly what that means. I mean you got a lot of nerve. How dare you even suggest that I would cheat on you!"

"Ace-"

"No. that's not gonna work this time."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm going home for a while to cool off and you should…I don't know, take a walk or something. I just need a little space right now."

"Ok. Ill call you later."

"No. I'll call you when I'm ready to talk."

"Fine, I love you Ace."

"Bye Logan."

Rory stormed off to the Gilmore/Danes house and didn't even notice when a dark headed figure fell into step with her. She was still mumbling under her breath about how stupid Logan was being. What really bothered her though was what he said about Jess looking at her. Was he really staring at her? He couldn't have been. No Logan was just messing with her, trying to make her nervous because he was going to bring up Philly. Yea that had to be it.

"Stupid jerk." Rory said.

"Excuse me?" Rory nearly jumped out of her skin.

"Whoa! Where did you come from?!"

"Well you see Rory, when a man and a woman really love each other…" Jess said with his trademark smirk in place.

"I'm sorry you just scared me."

"So who were you thinking about just now?"

"Oh, nobody."

"Lie. Spill."

"Logan."

"As usual."

"Yea, He just called me a whore."

"WHAT??"

"It's no big deal."

"Rory he called you a whore. How are you not upset about this?! I'll kill him."

"I'm so far past upset Jess. I've reached this sense of calm. I'm done. I'm done with his stupid childish antics, his late night partying, his constant absence. I'm just done. I'm so tired of that life. I miss just being me."

"I miss you too."

"Yea…? I mean when I was with you I didn't change. You were the town hoodlum and you liked me just how I was."

"Loved."

"What?"

"I loved you, just the way you were. Are. Rory you are an amazing girl and the smartest person I know. Logan is a jerk. He isn't ever gonna change. He is an idiot to treat you the way he does. I mean why are you even with him Rory? Why? I know you decided to leave him but only now after all this time? It took him calling you a whore to leave him? Jesus Ror."

"I was going to leave him sooner but…"

"But what?"

"I heard Luke talking."

"What does Luke have to do with this?"

"I heard him talking about you coming this weekend and I got so excited but then he mentioned that you were bringing your girlfriend."

"So?"

"So I got jealous ok!"

"You-"

"Yes! I got jealous. I was so mad that there was someone else in your life. And apparently it was serious because you were bringing her home for your mother's party, so I just stayed with Logan. Because I knew I couldn't be with you. And now you are getting married! I screwed everything up."

"You're crazy."

"Yea…ill just be going now." Jess caught her by the arm.

"Rory the only reason I said yes was because I saw you with Logan."

"What?"

"I came down to talk to Luke about Bianca proposing and I saw you and Logan outside the diner and I don't know it pissed me off to see you with him. You were the reason I wasn't all in with Bianca. You. It's always been you."

They had reached the house sometime ago and neither had noticed. They also hadn't noticed that during Jess's little speech he had took hold of her tiny hands and was slowly trailing circles on them with his thumb.

"Wow…so, what do we do now?"

"We? Are you saying there is a 'we'?"

Jess's voice had taken on a tone of urgency and his grasp got tighter on her hands she instinctively moved in closer to him to the point where they were almost touching but not quite. Rory looked down to their entwined hands and let out an almost inaudible laugh. Nobody else would have noticed it, nobody else except for Jess. He knew her. He knew her better than anybody.

"What is it?"

"I just really missed you. I missed us."

"I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

"Ditto."
