Chapter 7 – All Hell Breaks Loose (White Knight)
"Where's Jess!?" Lorelai angrily shouted as she burst into the diner.
Dean's ears perked up from where he was waiting for Rory.
"Excuse me?" Luke asked in a monotone.
"The devil in disguise, your evil nephew? Where is he?"
"Why do you need him?" Luke inquired.
"Because my daughter, my daughter who never really went against me until your nephew came, didn't come home last night."
Spotting Dean, Lorelai turned to him.
"Have you seen her?" Lorelai asked.
"Wh..What do you mean she never came home?" he sputtered angrily. "Where's Jess, where is that asshole!?"
Luke unsuccessfully tried to calm them down.
"Now, come on, we don't even know her and Jess were together. Let me just get him. Jess…Jess!" Luke shouted up the stairs. "Jess, get down here!"
There was no answer. Luke shoved his hands helplessly into his pockets.
"Holy Shit." he muttered under his breath. "Well, you guys, as you can see he's not around, so I guess we will just have to wait to find out who was with who and where they were."
"Well, I'll tell you what Luke, they better have a damn good reason. Like, oh, we got picked up by a tornado and it didn't drop us until this morning. I told you not to take that damn kid in, Luke, I told you."
"Lorelai, I'm not happy about this. But, I'll tell you one thing, it's not just Jess's fault. I highly doubt he held Rory captive against her will. I already told you my reasons for taking him in, and I do not regret that decision…yet." Luke added with a quiet mutter.
Dean was steaming quietly in the corner, until he saw a wary face peering cautiously into the window. When she saw her mother and dean she tried to quickly turn around, but she wasn't fast enough.
"Rory!" Dean yelled turning everyone's attention to the door.
"Oh, hello, Mom, Luke, Dean." she greeted.
"Rory, where were you?" Lorelai demanded.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you, and you?" Rory tried to joke.
"Rory, I'm not kidding, where were you!?"
"I was at Lane's."
"Where else!?" Dean jumped on her.
"Dean, I would like to speak to my daughter alone. Could you wait outside?" Lorelai asked sternly.
Dean stalked off, slamming the door, knowing better than to argue with Lorelai.
"Where else were you, Rory? I don't believe you were only at Lane's."
Rory fidgeted with the hem of her plaid skirt nervously.
"I took a walk"
"Where?"
"To the bridge."
"Were you alone?" Lorelai continued to ask questions, not satisfied with her daughters answerers.
"No…um…Jess was there also, but I swear Mom, nothing happened, we just talked. I swear."
Lorelai had her hand over her eyes, shaking her head in pure desperation. For one of the first times in her life, she felt utterly hopeless. Hopeless, what a sad, horrible, little word. She was losing Rory. Rory was growing up. Deep down she knew it wasn't true, but she couldn't help like feeling that Rory cared more for Jess than her own mother. Lorelai realized that she actually envied Jess. She envied a seventeen-year-old delinquent. How pathetic, but how true. This boy held her daughter's attention and interest, something she couldn't do at this time."
Lorelai shook her head.
"I have to go to the inn, I have to think. Be home when I get there, Rory." For the first time, Lorelai sounded much older than her 32 years. She left the diner.
Rory followed her mother out.
"Mom, hold on." Rory shouted after her mother, but Lorelai did not turn around.

The day couldn't get any worse, Rory thought as she started to walk to the bus stop. Suddenly, Dean came around the corner.
"Rory, answer me, were you with Jess?"
She was wrong, the day could get worse. Rory was tired of lying. She just felt so empty inside, she just didn't care anymore.
"Yes."
"Damn it, Rory! Are you trying to ruin your life? Are you trying to ruin us?"
Rory found anger bubbling over.
"Just blame it all on me. After all it's all my fault, Mr. No guy is ever allowed to look at my girlfriend. I'm not a pet or a toy, Dean. I do have the ability to make choices." Rory shouted.
"Well, maybe you made a wrong one! Don't blame it on me! Did you kiss him? Hell, did you sleep with him?"
"I didn't sleep with him."
"But you kissed him. How could you? How stupid do you get?"
"Well, it was a damn good kiss compared to what I've gotten from you."
Rory knew that was immature to say, but it felt so good.
Dean's face went red with anger. But he came to his senses, he couldn't lose Rory. She was his. She was the only one for him. He was the only one for her.
"Rory, we can forget about this. I mean, I can get over it. We can move on. Just promise me you won't see him again. That's all I ask."
So caught up in the argument, they didn't notice Jess come whistling down the sidewalk.
"Good Bye, Dean." Rory started to walk away, knowing there was no way a relationship so broken could be fixed without unbearable pain.
Dean lost his temper. "Bitch!" he yelled after her.
Jess surprised them both by coming up and punching Dean squarely in the jaw.
"Don't you ever, ever, call Rory that again. And watch who you call asshole. Come on, Rory, I'll walk you to the bus stop." Jess said as he took Rory's hand. While no words were spoken between the two they both knew they were together now, and that was how it was supposed to be. The new couple left, leaving Dean shaking with anger.
(A/N: This is the last of Dean in this fic, I know he would probably follow Rory or call her or something, But it's my story, so from now on he's out of the picture.)
