That's Just the Way Things Work Out
Chapter 7
Jess stood at the counter drumming his fingers on the countertop contemplating what to do next. He knew that Tristan had liked Rory, but he thought that Rory would not fall for Tristan. It was the day after they had been in here.
He thought back to yesterday. 'When Rory had hugged Tristan, it felt like a million knives being stabbed into his heart all at once, in one deep thrust. I can't let her fall for him.' He thought to himself. 'She is meant to be with me, and now that Dean is out of the picture, I just have to somehow find a way for her to notice me, but without being to needy.'
At that moment Rory walked into the diner. Her eyes were all red and puffy, and it was obvious that she had been crying. She sat down at a table, and placed her head in her folded arms. Jess knew that she didn't want to be seen and was kind of hiding from everyone. 'This might be the chance. Maybe she will listen to me.' With that, he went and sat at her table.
"Hi Rory."
"Oh Jess." She lifted up her tear-stained face and just looked at him. "I am not really good company right now."
"I can tell, so what's wrong? Lay it on me."
"You probably don't want to hear all about my boring life and everything."
"No, don't worry about it, besides if you tell me I will be sure not to let Miss Patty find out so that the entire town won't pry."
"Ok, do you remember that guy you met yesterday? Tristan?"
"Yeah. What about him?"
"Well, I kind of have the feeling that he has a thing for me."
"Yeah I kinda got that impression too."
"Well, I don't know if you heard mine and Dean's conversation yesterday but we broke up."
"Aww I'm sorry." Jess cringed on the inside. 'I can't believe I just apologized, I hate that guy.'
"Jess, I know you didn't like Dean, so don't pretend you did." Rory said that kind of harshly. 'Wow that was really mean, Jess was just trying to be nice.' "Jess, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that so rudely."
"It's ok, I know that you're hurting right now. So, what is making you so upset?"
"Umm well I was in love with Dean, and am still in love with Dean. I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt Tristan's feelings, but I am not ready to start anything with him. Maybe in time I will be. But Dean was such a major part of my life and I am not out of love with him and I don't know when and if I will ever be. Dean was so great to me. I know that he put me through a lot of pain and really hurt me, but I don't know, maybe I should consider getting back together with him. I love him, and it wasn't his fault that he hurt me."
"I don't want to tell you what to do, but if he has already put you through that much pain, what's not to say he won't do it again, in a different way? And about Tristan, if he cares about you that much and is not willing to wait until you were ready, then he is not worthy of being with you. At least that's the what I think." 'What about me, why won't you notice me? I wish you could look at me the same way you look at Tristan or Dean.'
"Thanks for the help Jess, I still don't know what I am going to do, but you gave me some major perspective on my life."
Right at that moment Lorelai came bounding in and Jess left the table. "Honey I am so sorry I am late. I made you come here in the first place even though how bad you feel. Let's get some coffee to go and we can start some major Dean bashing…
I know, I know. Very very short chapter. But this is where I need all of your help. I really cannot decide whom I like better, Tristan, Dean, or Jess. Can you guys please tell me how my story is going so far, and tell me who I should do the story with. Whoever gets the most praise about Dean, Jess, or Tristan; the story will then be written about that person. Thanks for the help guys.
