Chapter Two
It was two weeks since I moved into the apartment, and it was just starting to feel like home. I couldn't help thinking that Stars Hollow was always going to be my 'real' home. It wasn't far. Just about a forty-minute drive from here, but it seemed far; too far from Mom, Luke, and Luke coffee. I flipped on the television set and started the channel scan to see what was on at 3:47 in the afternoon. Absolutely nothing...
There was a light rap on the door. I took a moment before getting up and opening the door. It was Jess. "Hey you." I said smiling.
"Hi." He met my lips in a quick, sweet kiss. He held up a brown bag. "I went to Luke's and got this." My eyes widened at the Luke's logo on the bag. I grabbed the bag and took it towards the coffee table. I heard Jess laughing as he closed the front door and sat across from me. "Are you going to let me have some of that?" He asked me, smirking. That smirk... there's just something about that smirk. It was cute... too cute.
"Depends..."
"On?"
"If you brought ketchup."
He reached into the inside pocket of his jean jacket and tossed a couple ketchup packets on the table. I grinned and pushed the box of fries toward him, allowing him to have some. "Thank you." He ate a few.
"So anything interesting going on in Stars Hollow today?"
"Interesting?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Anything that I would find interesting." I fixed myself.
He shrugged and took another fry. "Nothing big. I did run into someone though..."
"Who...?" I could tell he wasn't too keen on telling me, but we tell each other everything.
"Forrester."
"No." Dean!
He nodded. "Yes."
"And what happened?" I asked.
"Wanted to start something. I said no and left."
"I don't get it! He even has another girlfriend now and he STILL wants to start stuff with you!" I exclaimed.
"He just doesn't like the fact that when he had you, I took you away. That's it." he said matter of factly.
I shook my head and sighed. "I don't want to talk 'bout it anymore. I had enough with him already. He's too immature."
"Okay."
"What did he say to you?" I asked.
He smirked. "I thought we dropped it?" He chuckled. "He supposedly heard we're moving in together, which I corrected him on, and wanted to fight. That's it." I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Okay...done."

I put the whole Dean thing in the back of my mind and turned on my music. Matchbox 20. Mom just got me the CD. I put on the song "Disease" and started singing along with the music. I was letting go for the first time in weeks and it felt good. A phone ringing brought me back to reality.
"Hello?" I asked after only two rings. It is so much easier to get to a phone when you know where it is.
"Ror?"
"Mom?"
"Yeah, honey it's me." I got very nervous then. She sounded worried, like something was wrong.
"Mom, is everything okay?" I asked.
"Umm...not really."
"What? Tell me!" I rushed her.
"Well Jess is here at Luke's. He was here picking some stuff up and Liz called. I don't know what she said, but Jess is really upset. Maybe you should come down here and talk to him."
I took the cordless phone with me as I grabbed my keys. "Give me half an hour." I hung up and was out the door. I couldn't even begin to imagine what Liz said to upset Jess. Again! She had called about three months before, telling Jess she had a one month old son, Jess' brother, and that she was going to marry some guy named Glen. What kind of name is Glen? Well, Jess got upset about how she shipped him off and now was having a new family. I didn't even know Liz and I didn't like her.
I managed to get to Stars Hollow in thirty minutes and ran into Luke's. "Where is he?" I asked, out of breath.
"He left. Try the bridge." Luke said worried. I nodded and was on my way again. This time I ran there. I got to the bridge in record time and quietly sat next to Jess. I wanted to give him some time to talk to me on his own before I started asking him questions.
"I suppose Luke called you." He said breaking the silence.
"Nope, my mom."
He nodded as if saying 'I should have known.'
"You wanna tell me what's up?" I asked.
He sighed deeply and laid back. He starred up at the stars. "Liz called..."
I lied back next to him and took his hand in mine.
"Dylan's dead." He said simply, his voice breaking slightly.
I was shocked. Jess' little brother that was only three months old was DEAD. I wanted to ask so many questions like how, why, when, but I couldn't get anything out.
Jess went on, as if he knew my unasked questions. "Glen had him and somehow he was taken away and stuffed in a trash can. Someone kidnapped and murdered him." I squeezed his hand as he went on. "I heard about it happening so many times before. But that was to older people, people in gangs. What would they want from a little kid?" A few tears trickled down his cheeks. He quickly brushed them away, not wanting me to see him cry. I took him into my arms and rocked him as he let the tears fall freely. "I wanted to know my little brother, Ror."
"I know."
A/N: Short chappy, but I promise better ones. AGAIN. I said I wouldn't have a chapter out 'til January, but I typed this one up just for you! I'm leaving for Florida x-mas eve so I might not have another chappy for a while. I'm coming back the 4th of January, but expect a chappy Jan 5th or 6th
