Rory's POV

She had been thinking all evening about what had happened between her and Logan. She never anticipated that they would kiss and she couldn't figure out what it all meant for her. She felt awful just running off like that without staying long enough to talk properly. She need to distract herself but all she had been doing was laying on her bed thinking about how she really felt about Logan .It was driving her crazy. She decided to go find Paris and Doyle even though every fiber of her being was telling her that would be a bad idea. She walked into the living room and to her surprise Jess was sitting there.

"What are you doing here Jess?" she asked apprehensively as she walked towards him

"I came to see how you were doing" he replied smiling

"How did you get in here?" she smiled back

"Don't worry the security is still pretty tight here...I actually had to get past some intense security measures" he joked

"Paris?" Rory said after a couple of seconds

"I can go if you want? Did I come at a bad time?" he asked

"No I was just surprised to see you" she replied

"A happy surprise I hope "he said

"The best" she smiled

"So do you want to go grab some food or just hang around here and watch some trashy TV" he quizzed

"I think I will go with option 1 ...Somehow I can't picture you watching trashy TV" she laughed

"So do you know any good places around here or should we just wing it?" he asked

"Ye sure there's a place about a ten minute walk away from here" she suggested

"I can drive there if you want?" he asked looking worried

"Jess I am totally fine now and I could really do with some fresh air and a walk" she said reassuringly

The walk normally took only ten minutes but for some reason it took twenty. They were engrossed in conversation about Jess book and the material he was working on. It was amazing to just be with Jess and not think about Logan. They enjoyed their evening and Jess was careful to avoid all mention of Logan until it almost time to go home.

"So have you seen Logan these days?" Jess asked not sure he wanted to know the answer

"I seen him yesterday…" she said before Jess interrupted her

"So you guys are back on?" he asked in a passive aggressive tone

"No were not…actually it didn't go that well" she said quietly

"It's none of my business Rory but I don't think you need the stress of Logan in your life" he said bluntly

"He isn't in my life. We just met to clear the air but like I said it didn't go as I had planned" she replied

"Nothing goes well with him" Jess said

"That's not fair Jess. You don't know him so it's not fair to judge him" she said

"I think I got a pretty good idea from that night" he snarked

"That's one night Jess .Look I am not defending him and I am not getting back together with him but Logan was a big part of my life and I thought I needed closure" she replied

"So it's over between you guys?" he asked

"Yes it's over" she said bluntly

"Good" he said trying not to smile

"But why does it bother you so much. Before that night you and I hadn't really spoke" she asked

"I just care about you Rory …and I know it's been years and l lost my chance I still love you" he said nervously

"Jess I don't know what to say…I …" she stuttered

"You don't have to say anything Rory. I can't wait for you I just need you to give me a chance" he asked

"This is a lot to take in Jess. I had no idea" she said

"Like I said just give me a chance .I know we are right for each other. What we had just doesn't go away" he said passionately

"I think I might go home Jess. It's been a long day and I need some rest" she said

"Ok let me walk you out" he suggested

"It's ok I will be fine" she said looking at him and she turned to walk away as she felt Jess gently brush her hand. She felt something but she didn't know what it was. She thought seeing Jess would help take her mind off of her problems but it just added to them.

Rory headed to the entrance of the restaurant and desperately wanted to look back. She felt like she had been so cold to Jess and wanted to check he was acted tough but deep down was the most sensitive guy she had ever met. But she knew that it was best to just leave and not look back.

She arrived at the door and seen Logan of all people. He looked at her and seen Jess in the distance.

"Logan it's not like that. We just …" she said

"It's ok Ace I understand. Actually it makes your reaction earlier make more sense now" he said as practically sprinted out the door

She felt so guilty but didn't know why. She didn't owe Logan anything but it felt so painful to let him leave assuming that she had moved on but then she thought about Jess and what they shared today.

She couldn't make sense of it all.
