A/N: Hey guys! I'm finally posting more! I haven't had any finals or regents yet, they start in a week and a half! Ahhh! But since I've been staying after school everyday fro a review of some subject, I haven't had time to post more. I have about half of the next chapter written, and can hopefully post it this weekend. But I have a biology regents review tomorrow morning! Saturday morning at 8am. And my school is an hour away! I have to get up at like 6! On a Saturday! I have no idea how long it'll last. And I usually write at night, when I'm falling asleep. When I write during the day I hate everything, when I'm half asleep I seem to write better. So maybe I can post chapter 5 this weekend-but I can't promise. So...here's chapter 4:
Rory Fights Back
"Are we interrupting something?" Lorelai asked.
Rory and Jess jumped apart, Rory blushing.
"Alright, enough making out in the kitchen." Lorelai put her plate in the sink. "I'd like to talk to Rory alone."
Luke and Jess went into the living room.
"Sit." Lorelai commanded. "You know I don't like Jess much."
"Mom-"
"But-there's a but-I know you like him. And incase you haven't noticed, I have been trying to be nice to him lately."
"Yeah."
"So I give you permission to kiss him all you want."
Rory giggled. "I was gonna kiss him anyway."
"That's my girl. Finally gonna break the rules." Lorelai smiled. "Now why don't you get out of here, go hang out somewhere."
"And you and Luke..."
"We'll hang here."
"Are you gonna tell him?"
"What?"
"I give up. Don't tell him. But think about it." Rory got up and headed towards the living room.
"Jess wanna go for a walk?"
"Alright." They left.
"Everything okay?" Jess asked as soon as they got outside. "I know your mom doesn't like me."
They began walking.
"Everything's fine. In fact she gave me permission to-and I quote- kiss him all you want."
Jess nodded. "But I'm sure you don't want to. I mean you still hafta tell that guy you like him."
"Jess-"
"It's okay."
"Jess you don't get it. I thought he already knew. I mean I wouldn't have just kissed him five minutes ago if I didn't like him."
Jess looked at her surprised, and Rory blushed.
He smiled and Rory was pretty sure it was the first time he had smiled since arriving in Stars Hollow.
She took his good hand, and they walked. Not heading to any particular place, just walking.
And Rory realized this is what she wanted. She wanted to be able to walk and not have to say anything.
Jess had never known anyone like Rory. She was the complete opposite of all the girls he had dated. He had never expected to fall in love with her, and he certainly never expected her to like him.
When they stopped walking they were at the bridge. They sat on the edge, and let their feet rest on the top of the water, still holding hands, fingers entwined.
It was awhile before either said anything.
"Why?" Jess asked suddenly.
"Why what?"
"Why do you like me? No one else does, not even my mom."
"I don't know. I just like you." Rory said. "Why do you like me?"
"Because you're like no one I've ever met."
Rory blushed.
"Why are you blushing?" he asked her, making her blush harder.
She turned her face away from him. He let go of her hand and ran a finger down her cheek. "You're cute when you blush."
"Are you trying to make me look like a tomato?"
Before Jess could answer, Rory looked up hearing footsteps. Jess turned to see what she was looking at and saw Dean.
"I was right!" Dean said.
"Care to elaborate?" Jess said.
"You broke up with me because of him! He's no good Rory. I don't know why you hang around with him."
Rory stood up. "Dean."
"He's trouble Rory."
Jess stood up.
Dean shoved him in the chest. Jess gasped in pain, clutching at his chest with his arms.
"Aw that hurt?" Dean said mockingly, not yet noticing the cast on Jess' arm.
"Dean stop!" Rory shouted.
Dean shoved Jess again. This time Jess lost his balance and fell to the ground, holding his chest.
"Jess!" Rory kneeled next to him. "Are you okay?"
"He's a big boy Rory, he can take care of himself." Dean said. "He's just faking. I didn't hurt him that hard."
"His ribs are broken!"
"Well how was I supposed to know?"
"You'd have to be blind to not see the cast on his arm!" she stood up and faced Dean, who was standing on the edge of the bridge. With all her strength she pushed him into the water. She bent down, and helped Jess up.
"Let's go." she said. They walked off leaving Dean standing in the water.
"Did you push him off the bridge?" Jess asked.
Rory nodded.
"Rory Gilmore, I didn't know you had it in you."
She shrugged. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. It doesn't hurt that bad anymore."
They walked back to Rory's in silence.
Rory and Jess walked into the living room to find Lorelai and Luke kissing.
"It's about time!" Rory shouted.
They pulled apart, Lorelai smiling.
"So how was your walk?" Lorelai asked.
"We met up with Dean." Jess said.
"Uh-oh."
"He shoved Jess." Rory said.
"You okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah. Rory shoved him into the lake."
Lorelai clapped. "That's my girl."
"Didn't know you had it in you." Luke said.
"Jess said the same thing."
"Seems like you guys were having fun." Jess changed the subject.
"Sorry we interrupted." Rory said. "We'll go read or something. Continue kissing. We were never here." They went into her room.
Jess sat on her bed, and Rory got To Kill a Mockingbird out of her pocket book. She sat next to jess and picked up where she had left off at the hospital. "Dill left us in early September..."
Later Lorelai walked in and found Rory reading to herself as Jess slept.
Rory saw her mom and got up, following her into the kitchen.
"Luke wants to go, go wake Jess up."
"Just leave him."
"But-"
"Go walk Luke home. I'll see you later." Before Lorelai could argue Rory pushed her out of the kitchen and went into her room.
She came out with her pajamas and headed to the bathroom to change. By the time she was done, her mom and Luke were gone.
Rory went into her room and looked down at Jess. Carefully as not to wake him, she lay down next to him and closed her eyes. She fell asleep almost instantly.
