How Many People Did You Have To Kill?
Part 3 - Rory and Jess
Jess was the sole person to step off the bus in Stars Hollow. There had only been about fifteen people on the bus when he left New York, and he was the last to get off the bus. The bus driver waved him off grumpily before closing the door and driving off.
It was about three in the morning, and the town was absolutely silent, but Jess could feel the town's hostility towards him even in sleep.
In New York, the plan had seemed like such a good idea, but now when he was actually standing there, in the middle of a deserted street, his doubts were returning. He heard a pebble kicked behind him though and they disappeared.
"Hey Jess."
"How many people did you have to kill to get here?" he asked before turning to face her, a good-natured smirk playing across his features.
She grinned before she said anything. Then she stuck her hands in her pockets and sauntered towards him slowly.
"Only a couple. You know Taylor and Miss Patty had it coming."
He grinned back. His heart was pounding and he started the same walk towards her.
"That's too bad. It was fun making Taylor mad."
"I'm sure."
They were only a couple of feet apart now, but their smiles were starting to fade. Rory held out her right hand and Jess grasped it quickly. For a moment they stood there, still in the middle of the street. Rory took a small step forward and so did Jess. Another and they were toe to toe, hands tangled together.
"Why did you come back?"
"I didn't belong there anymore."
"And you belong here?"
"Maybe not, but I thought I'd give it another chance."
"I see."
"Do you mind if we stop talking now, because I really want to kiss you now and-" He was interrupted by Rory's lips on his own.
"Welcome home, neighbour," was all she said when they broke apart. Jess just shook his head and kissed her again.

Lorelai woke with a start when she fell out of the chair and onto the kitchen floor. She rubbed her eyes and looked around in surprise. What was she doing in the-?
And then she remembered.
She picked herself off the floor and tiptoed to Rory's door. She put her ear against the door and when she didn't hear anything, she carefully opened it.
Rory was asleep in bed, lying on her stomach. She faced the door, with her left arm clutched to her chest and her right hand hanging off the other side. She had a contented smile on her face and when Lorelai saw that, she smiled also and left, closing the door softly behind her. She made her way upstairs and collapsed into bed. In a minute, she was in a deep sleep.
Luckily for Rory, it was still early. Otherwise Lorelai might have noticed the missing pillow off of Rory's bed or where exactly Rory's hand was. And if she had come further into the room, she might have noticed the black-haired person holding onto that hand and sleeping on the floor. The open window may have given a clue, but didn't.
Despite the clues, all was peaceful. For once.
A/N: So, that's it. I know it's not super-long, but that's as long as it'll be. Don't forget to R&R! Thanks!
