Part 15 "Danielle and Dean Brought the Coma"

Rory Gilmore stood at the sidewalk right across from Doose's Market and stared a young blonde girl kissing with Jess in front of the whole town. Rory was speechless and ran back to her house crying. Lorelai was at work and was talking to Michel about how he should do things without complaining. Finally, Rory got hungry and walked to Luke's.

"The usual, Rory?"

"Yeah." Rory was secretly hoping to see Jess but part of her didn't want to see him. But like it or not, there he stood hand in hand with the blonde.

"Here, Rory." Luke knew that Rory saw the blonde and Jess holding hands when they walked into the diner so he tried not to say anything about the blonde.

"Who is she?"

"Who?" Luke was unsuccessfully avoiding the girl.

"The girl that Jess is with."

"Her? Oh, she's Danielle. Danielle's just a friend." Luke gave a weak laugh. Luke knew he was lying and so did Rory. Jess then noticed Rory and pushed Danielle out of the diner.

~ Danielle and Jess's conversation

"Why'd you push me out of there, Jesse?"

"Oh, uh I just wanted a fresh breath of air."

"Do you wanna sit over at that bench and kiss?"

"Uh, sure." Jess thought that all he ever did with Danielle was make out and he was getting pretty tired of it.

"Come on, Jesse." Jess went over to the bench and sat down. Then he began to kiss Danielle. Rory was watching all this from the diner and had no idea of what to say. Rory always thought that Jess liked her a lot. Lorelai suddenly came in.

"Hey babe. How was school?"

"Good. How was work?"

"Ok, Sookie kept on making all this weird stuff like Lemon and Cherry Cheesecake with pickle juice. I told Michel it was Blueberry and Cherry Cheesecake but the blueberries turned into green and he actually ate it. The look on his face was part way between disgusting and shocked."

"Did you know who Danielle is?"

"Uh, yeah. Did you see her? I saw her two times at Luke's."

"Yeah, they're making out right now on that bench."

"Rory, it's going to be ok. Danielle's just temporary."

"Mom, I saw them holding hands when they went in here. I saw them kissing earlier today at Doose's. I was the temporary one."

~ Back to Danielle and Jess.

"Jesse, I'm hungry."

"Danielle, can you not call me Jesse? Just call me Jess."

"No, I like to call you Jesse. It sounds nicer."

"Danielle, I'm tired of just making out all the time. Let's go on a date tonight in Hartford. I heard that there's this cool place called Blazing Star."

"Will you drive me there?"

"Well, uh I have to talk to Rory."

"Who's this Rory of yours anyway? You're like Rory this, and Rory that."

"She's just a really good friend."

"Jesse, I'm your girl. Is Rory your girlfriend?"

"Not exactly, Danielle. Why don't you go home and brush up and I'll meet you at Blazing Star."

"Are you saying that I don't look good right now?"

"No Danielle, you look great. Bye, I have to help Luke with the diner." Danielle left without saying a word and went home.

~ Back to the diner

"Mom, Danielle's prettier than me and Jess probably thinks she's great and I stink."

"Honey, you don't stink. And Danielle is not pretty." Suddenly Jess walked into the diner.

"Jess, why are you hanging out with girls?"

"Luke, I can hang out with Danielle if I want."

"Jess, you've broken my daughter's heart!"

"Mom, it's okay. Jess, you can hang out with Danielle and other girls if you want. I don't care. It's fine with me."

"No, it's not okay Rory. You're my daughter and three boys have broken your heart now. Tristan, Jess, and Dean."

"Mom, Dean didn't break my heart. I broke Dean's heart. And Tristan is going to have a son or a daughter and he wants to be there for the baby just like Dad is. And Jess can have other girls in his life."

"Rory, you don't have to stick up for Jess. He's my nephew and I'll do what I want with him."

"Rory, can we talk? Like me and you without Luke and Lorelai?"

"I suppose so." Jess went upstairs to where he slept and motioned Rory to sit with him. Rory sat down and they began to talk.

"Rory, Danielle is a really-"

"I know. She's your girlfriend. That's fine with me. I have to go home and do my homework now."

"No, stay. Rory, you're amazing and I really like you but maybe we should just be friends."

"That's fine with me. I have to go now." Rory left the room and went downstairs.

"How was the talk, babe?"

"Fine. Let's go home now." Lorelai followed Rory to their house and opened the door.

"Rory, is everything ok?"

"Yes, Jess just wants to be friends. We're just friends, nothing more."

"Rory, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Danielle. I thought you would be upset."

"Now I'm even more upset that you made me act like a fool because everyone was staring at me for being so cheerful."

"I'm sorry honey." Suddenly the phone rang. The Gilmore Girls both said at the same time, "You're closer!" Lorelai was actually closer, so she reached her arm and grabbed the phone.

"Green puppies on the phone right now." Lorelai loved to confuse advertisers and her mother especially but Emily had gotten used to it now.

"Lorelai, it's Luke. Although you probably don't care, Jess got punched in the face like five times and got hit with this lamp in his room."

'You're right I don't care. I'm glad. Tell him I'll kick his butt later."

"Jess is in the hospital in a coma."

"What?! You're nephew Jess is in the hospital with a coma?"

"Yes! I'm in the hospital right now and if you want to uh, visit him it's okay."

"We might visit him. Is he still in the coma?"

"Yeah, right now."

"Who did it?"

"We don't know. You can come over at the hospital now."

"Okay, bye Luke."

"Bye Lorelai." Lorelai hung up with Luke and told Rory.

"Jess is in a coma? We have to get there right now!" Rory and Lorelai went into the jeep and drove to the hospital quickly. They saw Luke and he motioned them over.

"Is Jess okay, Luke?"

"Yeah, Rory. Do you want to see him?"

"Yes! Is he all right?"

"Well, he's in the coma and all but he's acting okay." Rory went into Jess's room and stared at him. Jess looked like he was disturbed but sleeping. Rory wished she could've saved Jess. Rory then thought who would've done it, Dean or Danielle. But why would Danielle hurt Jess? Rory just stared at him. "You can talk to him, Rory."

"Will he wake up?"

"Maybe. He might hear you."

"Oh. Okay. Hey Jess. It's Rory. Um, Luke called Mom on the phone and told us what happened. Mom was like worried about you. It's weird. But I was the most worried." Luke left Rory talking to Jess. He went outside to Lorelai who was getting coffee from the vending machine.

"Hey Lorelai."

"Hey Luke. Their coffee stinks."

"Really? Were you worried about Jess?"

"Sort of, I mean Jess is in a coma. It brought back memories of my dad."

"Oh, well Rory's talking to him."

"Yeah, at least Jess is out of trouble this way." Lorelai gave a weak laugh.

~ In Jess's room with Rory

"So Paris was really mad that I got a better grade than her on this biology test. She claimed that the teacher didn't like her. Madeline got a B- but she was happy with it. Louise got a C but she didn't care. Paris got an A- .

Remember when you saved Tristan and me? Thanks for doing that. Now I wish I could've saved you. You're a great guy, Jess. You really are. And I really like you. I love you actually." Rory didn't know why but she kissed Jess after that. She noticed that a lock of Jess's dark hair was covering his eyes and she brushed it off. Suddenly, his eyelids stared flickering and he groaned.
