A/N- I am just going to make this authors note short and simple. I am
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooo sorry. I can't believe it's been this long. I have no
excuse what so ever. I'd complain about having too much homework but then
I'd be lying or at least that's what you'd think if you've seen/read my new
story 'Class Trip to NYC.' The first thing that would come to your mind
would be, 'She says that she doesn't update regularly because she has way
too much school work, but she still manages to write a second story and
update that one more often. She's a lying scumbuckle!' Well at least that's
what I'd think if you were in my position and I was in yours. Once again, I
am truly sorry and hope that one day you can forgive me. But for now lets
just all be happy that I am even posting once every two months. Well, not
too happy since you'll just get pissed again when I end up posting in
another two months instead of what I should be doing, once a week. I am a
jerk. I don't deserve to have my story posted on this wonderful site, full
of wonderful people. Kay, now I'm just sucking up to try and get you to be
a little less mad. But on the other hand, I actually admitted to sucking up
which should put me on your good side. Kay, now I'm just being an idiot and
wasting both yours and my time. I'm so very sorry. So much for short and
simple! Hah!
Please read and if you'd like take five seconds to say hi in a review. You
will find the instructions on how to review at the end of this chapter.:)
Oh and before I forget, I have realized that things are going WAY too slow
so I'm going to try and speed up the process.
Chapter Sixteen- Finally Free
"So what are we going to do?" Rory asked.
"I don't know," Jess replied. The two of them were both sitting cross- legged on the floor facing each other. They were also both wriggling.
"Okay okay, umm. Oh we could try doing something that might take our minds off of our problem."
"Like what?" Jess asked.
"I don't know, read?" Rory suggested.
"Okay, I'll read out loud from this book." Jess reached into the box of books and pulled one out at random. He looked at the cover. "A Study in Scarlet, Arthur Conan Doyle. Read it?"
"I don't think so. Start reading and I'll try and remember." Rory responded.
"Alright. In the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and preceded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the Army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as assistant surgeon." As Jess's soothing voice filled the room, the two teens forgot about their need to use the facilities.

Emily, Lorelai and Luke climbed into his truck. Luke sat in the driver seat, Lorelai sat next to him and Emily sat on the other side of Lorelai. "Everyone okay?" Luke asked.
"Yes," Emily lied. She knew that she would never be okay again.
"Lorelai?" Luke asked.
"Yeah Luke, ready," Lorelai responded sadly.
"No wait!" Emily said suddenly after Luke turned into the direction of Emily's home.
"What is it mom?" Lorelai asked worriedly. Luke kept on driving and waited for Emily's response.
"Go the other way. I don't want to go home yet." Emily decided.
"Where do you wanna go mom?" Lorelai asked curiously.
"Your house Lorelai. I want to go to your house. I can't face that huge house alone. I need to stay away from it. I will be reminded of Richard with every step I take in that house. And I can't deal with that right now," Emily sobbed.
"Aww Mom it's okay," Lorelai hugged her mom as best as she could in the crowded truck. "I'd love it if you would stay with us for a while."
"Thank you Lorelai," Emily smiled weakly.
"Alright, to Lorelai's house it is then. We'll be there by 10pm." Luke did a u-turn in the non-busy road. To Lorelai's surprise, Emily didn't start an argument about safe driving.
'Poor Mom,' Lorelai thought.

Rory had her head in Jess's lap as she listened to Jess's voice read the story so clearly and beautifully. But it wasn't long until she started to fall asleep. Two minutes passed and Rory fell asleep.
Suddenly, Jess also found himself getting tired. He started to read more slowly and less clearly. A minute later at 9:00, the book was on the ground closed and Jess was asleep, his hands around Rory, and his head resting comfortably on her head.
~~~~~~
At 10:30pm Andrew sleepily unlocked the door to the bookstore. "Why did I listen to Mother? If she wants to read the new stupid Barbara Walters Biography, she should figure out a way to get it herself. I have got to stop listening to her. I'm a grown man, I should be living in my own apartment in the city, not in my mothers house in a tiny little town somewhere in Connecticut. This is crazy. Why am I talking to myself?" Andrew mumbled. He headed to the storage room where the new books were kept and unlocked it He groggily reached for the light switch but noticed that the light was already on. "Huh? Ahh!" Andrew yelled obviously startled at the scene of two colored hair teenagers sleeping on the ground of the storage room.
The two woke up with a start. "What? Whose their?" Jess asked right away, sitting upright.
"What happened?" Rory asked abruptly.
"Rory, is that you?" Andrew asked. "What are you doing here?"
Realization hit Rory. "Oh my God! Andrew, you opened the door! Thank you so much!" Rory got off of the ground and helped Jess up. The two ran passed Andrew and toward the front door.
Andrew closed his eyes and shook his head. "That's it! I'm moving out tomorrow morning."
~~~~~~
"What time is it Jess?" Rory asked once the two were outside.
"10:30. Your mom's gonna freak."
"Once I explain everything, she'll understand." Rory said to herself more than to Jess.
"Well do you want me to come and help you explain or something?" Jess asked.
"No that's alright. I want you alive tomorrow."
Jess nodded and they stopped as they passed by Luke's. The two stood face to face in front of the diner. "Well I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah tomorrow," Rory said slowly and quietly as she leaned in towards Jess's lips.
The almost-kiss was interrupted. "Rory!" Someone called form nearby. Rory turned around and saw her mother's devastated expression. Lorelai was crying.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Rory asked concerned. For the moment she forgot about Jess and what almost happened.
A/N- I know, stupid ending but my neck hurts and I can't sit on this chair a second longer. Well I'll need a few seconds to post this cuz it would be a waste to have spent the time to write this today but then wait until the next day to post it right? Well anyways PLEASE REVIEW:):):)
