A/N2 Hi guys .This chapter may seem familiar at first but it is different at the end. In the original Jess was going to be with Giselle but I changed my mind. The chapter may seem a bit ....awkward I guess but that's mainly becuase I cut out like 1,000 words of dialogue (mostly Jess/Giselle stuff).I know it's been awhile since I updated but hey life happens. but I'm back and I will finish this story. As for the stuff happening on the show , I might incorporate some stuff.
Chapter 4- Dream Within a Dream
"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." -Judy Garland
She was glad things were somewhat back to normal with Jess. Their conversation that morning was just like old times but there was something different. Jess was different and she couldn't quite place what the change was. It was now mid -afternoon and she knew she shouldn't delay the inevitable but it would be hard ,very hard. Today she was breaking up with Dean. She'd thought about her decision long and hard and decided it was for the best. She loved him , she always would , just not in a romantic sense. Reminding herself to breathe she walked to his house , taking small steps.
(She stood at the door just staring at it and fianlly worked up the nerve to press the doorbell. 'Dind , Dong'. The was answered by Dean's younger sister Clara.)
Clara: Hi Rory.(smiling brightly)
Rory:" Hi Clara. How are you?"
Clara: "I'm excited about school starting soon."
Rory:What grade are you going into ?"
Clara:"Fifth."
Rory:"Wow. Fifth grade is a fun year."
Clara:"Cool. Do you want me to get Dean?"
Rory:"Yes please and Clara?"
Clara:"Yes?"
Rory:"You're a very cool kid."
Clara:"Thanks . I think you're cool too."( She smiled and went to get Dean.)
The butterflies were back and it seemed like an eternity before Dean finally came to the door.
Dean:"Hey."
Rory:"Hey."
(Dean leans down to kiss her and she turns her cheek.)
Rory:"We need to talk."
Dean:"Why do I have a feeling it isn't good news."
Rory:(Taking a deep breath.) For some time now we've been growing apart. I think deep down we both knew it. (losing train of thought.)Um...we...I.."
Dean:"Rory, are you breaking up with me?"
Rory:(In a quiet, shaky voice) Yes.
Dean:"I don't want to lose you. I love you."
Rory:"I don't want to either . I still want you in my life but as a friend."
(Dean nods and has a pained expression on his face. Rory is now crying.)
Rory :"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry . I..I have to go . I'm sorry."
( She turns and leaves quickly when she reaches the end of the street she begins to run. She runs until she reaches the bridge . She sits on the edge staring straight out with tears streaming down her face.)
(Two hours later. Rory is still sitting on the bridge . She is no longer crying but looks sad and pensive. She hears footsteps on the bridge but doesn't look up.)
Voice:"Hi."
Rory:" Hi Giselle."(Giving her a small smile. Giselle sits on the bridge next to Rory. She's still wearing her uniform form the Inn.)
Giselle:"Are you okay?"
Rory:" Yeah , I'm fine ..kind of."
Giselle:"If you want to be left alone I totally understand."
Rory:"I'd actually really like company right now."
Giselle:"Ok , then I'll stay.( Giving Rory a smile.)I know you don't know me all that well but do you want to talk about it?"
Rory:"No thanks , it's okay."
Giselle:"Okay."
( They sit in silence for a few moments .)
Rory: (suddenly) " I feel so horrible . I mean he's always so sweet and nice to me. He loves me and I never appreciated that. I never really tried to be apart of his world but I made him come into mine. We were together for almost two years and I've only hung out with his family twice and he's hung out with my mom and I countless times. He even did chores for us. He dressed up in a suit with tails and white gloves to make me happy. When did I go out of my way to make him happy? He builds me a car. A car! But what to I do . I go driving with another guy. And that same guy I've treated so badly this summer . I went to D.C. for six weeks .We're supposed to be friends. What do I do? I just leave . No good bye , no phone calls .Nothing. I was a horrible girlfriend and a I'm a horrible friend. ( She suddenly gets up.) I have to go. I..I have to go.( And then sprints of the bridge)
Giselle:(Somewhat surprised at Rory's sudden outburst.) Okay.( Giselle got up and began walking home )
.It was 4 :24 and Jess was coming at seven. Weeks ago she had told Jess about her love for old movies and he had remembered. She smiled to herself and continued walking.
(Diner)
( There are only a couple people in the diner. Jess and Luke are both behind the counter.)
Jess:"Hey Luke , I need leave a little earlier today than usual."
Luke:"Why?"
Jess: "Just because."
Luke:" I'm going to need a better reason."
Jess:(sighing) I have a date .
Luke:"Really?"
Jess:"No , I was just making it up to amuse myself.( Luke gives him a stern look.) So it's ok?"
Luke:(Now happy for Jess) Yeah.
Jess:"Good."( He resumes cleaning the counter.)
Luke:"So , uh, who is it? Would I know this person?"
Jess:"Yup."
Luke:"Ok , mind telling me who it is ."
Jess:( Sets the rag down and looks at Luke ) It's Giselle.
Luke:"Oh that's good . She seems like a nice girl."
(Jess simply nodded.)
Luke:"You can take the rest of the afternoon off if you want .. It's not really busy."
Jess:"Well , thanks."
Luke:"No problem."
(Jess finishes what he was doing then goes upstairs.)
( Giselle's room. Her normally impeccable room is a mess .There are pants , skirts , shirts, dresses and shoes everywhere. She's wearing a bathrobe and a towel on her head. She looks at all the clothes and sighs. She goes to her closet and takes out more clothes. The clock reads 6:33 . She looks slighly panicedand is now rushinga round the room. 'Knock ,knock'. She opens the door and her grandmother comes in.)
Ms.Redding:"How's it going?"
Giselle:"Not so great and I have exactly 27 minutes."
( Ms. Redding goes to Giselle's bed looks at all the clothes and picks up a denim skirt and black top. )
Ms.Redding:"What about this?"
Giselle:"That could work."
Ms.Redding :( picking up a pair of black sandals.) "These would look great with it ."
Giselle:( She smiles at her grandmother and gives her a hug.) "Thanks."
Ms. Redding:"No poroblem . Now get dressed you only have 24 minutes."
(She leaves the room and Giselle dresses quickly. She takes the towel off to let her hair dry out . She then applies mascara , a pretty gold eyeshadow , some blush and tinted lip gloss. She then sits on her bed and wathes the clock.)
(25 minutes later Ms. Redding comes in her room .)
Ms.Redding:"He's here."
Giselle:"Ok."( She takes up her purse and stands next to the door but doesn't go into the living room.)
Giselle: "Hey Jess"
Jess:" Hey."
Ms. Redding :"Well you kids have fun. Don't come back too late. Needs to be a reasonable hour."
Giselle:"Ok ."( She kisses her grandmother on the cheek . ) "Bye".
(Gilmore House)
Lorelai:" Rory will you please come out of your room . You've been in there all afternoon. Will you at least talk to me."
Rory:( mufled through door) I don't want to talk ."
Lorelai: "Fine we don't have to talk about it now. Just come out."
( She heard shuffling as Rory walked to the door and opened it. )
Lorelai:"It' s lovely to see you again. I've almost forgotton what you look like. You hungry?"
Rory:"Yeah I haven't eaten all day."
Lorelai:"Well , what're we wiating for let's go."
(Luke's )
Lorelai:"Hey Lucas."
Luke:" What can I get you?"
Lorelai:"Hi . How are you? I'm good thanks , you? I'm alright.
Luke:"Well now that you've finished the conversation with yourself can you order."
Lorelai:"Grumpy. Two burgers and fries please.'
Luke:"Ok. Hey, uh, Rory, I , uh, heard about you guys . Are you okay? "
Rory:( Gives Luke a geniune smile because he cares.) I'm ok .
Luke: Good , good.
Lorelai:"So you wanna talk about it now?"
Rory:"No."
( A few seconds later)
Loelai:"Changed your mind."
Rory: "Still no."
(Gilmore House)
Rory:"Hey mom we can talk now if you want ."
Lorelai:" I do ."
Rory:" Well, I broke up with Dean."
Lorelai: " Got that part. I'm just wondering why."
Rory: "I just wasn't right, you know. We were together but we weren't at the same time. It's complicated. I'm not really sure what happened."
Lorelai :( She nodded) Are you sure you're alright ? Need to wallow?"
Rory: "Yeah ; I don't think I need to this time . I knew it was coming. I just need time to think ."
Lorelai: "Ok sweets. I love you . "
Rory:" I love you too. Goodnight. "
Lorelai:" 'Night."
(Luke's .Jess enters looking glum.)
Luke:"What happened?"
Jess:"Nothing."
Luke:"Jess..."
Jess*sighs* "It's nothing . I just realized tonight that it's ... I ...I don't know . It's nothing.Good night."
(Without another word Jess walked upstairs , went to his room , and locked the door."
He lay awake thinking back to the events of yesterday and tonight. It was all wrong . He was dating Giselle for all the wrong reasons . It wasn't fair to her. That day in the rain , it was an illusion. It seemed right when everything was totally wrong. It wasn't fair to Giselle or the him to continue the charade. He would clear it all up tommorrow . Until then he wouldn't think of it. As he closed his eyes he saw a vision of blue. A blue he had seen before.
