Chapter 7-Over My Head
Chapter 7-Over My Head
Disclaimer: Once again, sadly, I do not own any of the Gilmore Girl characters; I'll get over it sooner or later. *Sigh; schemes plans to kidnap all the GG characters.starting off with Jess-evil laugh*
Story time: This is Season 3 taking place with a spin on it by me. All of season 2 still exists, the kiss still happened; the car wreck was there, Lorelei isn't however mad at Luke anymore. I so hope you got the gist of what I just said. Lol *nervous laugh*
AN: Well I'm sorry to say this should be the last chapter of this story. I'll start some more fics with the GG later on and maybe I can do a sequel to this story, I dunno, but thanks for all your help, reviews, and everything else!! You guys rock!
That night I was supposed to call Jess-but I wasn't sure whether or not I needed to now. I sat debating for an hour considering.
I came to the conclusion that the only one I wanted to talk to now was Lane. It's way too late now, well only 9, but Ms. Kim would get mad. I exit my room to talk to mom.
"Can I go out for about an hour?"
"Sure hun, why? Got some biker buddies and vandals to meet up with? If ya do, don't let me stop you, go on ahead-you don't want to keep those characters waiting, trust me-."
I cut off Mom's banter before it gets into hazardous territory.
"I just need to go find Lane."
"Check the music store, doesn't she usually stay late on Fridays?"
I get excited. I can't believe I forgot that!
"Oh yeah! Thanks mom! See you later!"
"And later is when we'll talk about what was going on in that backseat of mine on the way home." She winks and thin starts grinning.
I really thought she hated Jess; maybe Luke turned her around or something. This is good, really good. I smile and leave the house.
I was the dark street lined with twinkle lights. I'm beginning to think they never take those down. I pass Luke's and get to the music store. Sure enough, I hear the banging of the drums. I knock on the window hoping she hears me.
"Rory!"
"Hey Lane!"
"I heard what happened, I hope you're not pancaked." She says softly looking down.
I sit on a spare drum stool. Great-oh well I guess it was inevitable. I mean, seriously, most of the town's informants were in there. Well at least the town hasn't reacted weird or anything so far-maybe they're just so stunned that the little town princess might be sleeping with the town bad boy. Or maybe Mom has made a few calls? Oh well.
"Eh, I'm fine. Dean was a jerk."
"So true. So."
"Yeah?"
"Well?"
"Lane, I need more words here-or gestures-what do you want to know?"
"You know, are you really-."
"Confused? Yes, actually."
Lane pretends she's going to sleep and points towards Luke's.
"Ooh, gestures! I can so figure this out. Ok, so you're acting like you're sleeping and your pointing towards Luke's and now to me and repeating." I feel my face get hot.
"Eww Lane! I'm not sleeping with Luke! He's Mom's age, or at least close to it! Sure he is the man who feeds me and-."
"Not Luke!" Lane cuts me off, "Jess!" she screams silently.
I start laughing insanely at myself for thinking she meant Luke. This goes on for 2 minutes until Lane calms me.
"Rory, don't look now, but Jess is outside!"
I immediately stop laughing and freeze where I am.
"Ha! I knew you liked him!"
*Shocked* Not gonna go there, not gonna go there.
"Changing subject-no, I haven't been sleeping with him." I stop.
"Don't begin to ponder that thought young lady."
"It's not that Lane," I blush, "What do you mean you knew I liked him?"
Lane smiles, "It's so obvious you two are into each other-it's been that way since he got here."
"Seriously?"
"You mean you've been oblivious to your feelings and his the whole time?"
I think back to the bridge and the night he came into my room.
"Not the whole time" I smile.
Lane gasps, "What did you do and why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
"Nothing big-we've kissed twice and I didn't tell you because I was with Dean then and I wasn't sure what to do."
"You player!" we start giggling.
"So have you kissed him since the breakup?"
"Jess? Yeah, well almost, but Mom came in."
"Got to love parentals," Lane says sarcastically.
"Really."
"So what are you going to do now?"
"What am I supposed to do?"
"Call him, stop by the diner-something! I'm not really an expert on these things and plus its Jess, the only people that know him well are you and his parole officer."
"Lane."
"Sorry-this is going to have to take some getting used to. But I knew it was going to happen eventually-I'm surprised I wasn't more prepared."
I laugh, "It's ok, I know how it is. Well I guess I'll let you get back to what you were doing."
"Good luck!"
"Thanks, bye!" ---- I leave the show and walk down the street. This chill in the air is getting colder. I button my coat and wrap my scarf around me and head towards Luke's to get a coffee to go.
"Why don't you stay in here to drink that?" Luke asks.
"It's a pretty night. I think I'll just go outside to sit."
"All right then, but I won't be responsible for your freeze bite" he grins.
"Ok Luke," I look around, "I'll make Kirk responsible."
"What? I didn't do it!" Kirk says alarmed.
"Not yet at least," Luke tells him and with that I head to the Gazebo. ---- About halfway through my coffee I hear someone coming. Hopefully Luke with more coffee.
"Hey"
That's not Luke's' voice, that's Jess'!
"What are you doing out here?" I ask him.
"I should be asking you the same question. You do know if it wasn't for that coffee, you'd be frozen to death."
"Haven't you heard my Mom say that coffee saved lives?" I smile at him and he sits down beside me.
"Coffee?" I ask
"No thanks, I've got something better."
"Doubtful"
"You're better than coffee."
He puts his arm around the back of me and I lean into him. Maybe Lane was right.
"Well, maybe." I grin. "Jess?"
"Yeah?" he says softly and continues staring at the sky.
"What this? What do we have?"
"There's a we?"
"Yeah, well, no not if-."
"There's always been a we, Rory. Always. You haven't noticed?"
"Don't you mean there's always been an us?"
"Hey, you picked the work there." He smirks then looks at me. "You never noticed that?"
"That there's always been an us? Well, I'm not sure-I think I knew it but never knew it."
Yeah, that made sense. I start tracing the lid of my coffee with my forefinger.
"You're going to make yourself dizzy."
"I'll be ok." I look up and suddenly we're kissing-long and with a fiery passion unlike the ones before.
I lied. I did get dizzy-that kiss was enough to make any girl dizzy. I start to think of a song by Furslide:
I lost an island in the ocean
The place where nickels come to gamble on their faces
She took the offer to be the daughter
We pledge allegiance to the one who offers social graces
Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me
'Cause I'm in over my head,
In over my head
It's for the best
I ripped up the picture
The one in the kitchen
I looked weak my eyes they gave it all away
I don't deny it
I still haven't found it
I proudly wear the scars
I've challenged every crutch so far
Please don't blame me
Please don't blame me
'Cause I'm in over my head, in over my head
It's for the best and I'm in over my head, in over my head
It's for the best
What song could be truer of the past few days? I look into Jess' eyes and they give it away, I've been so unassuming the whole time. There really has always been an us-or a we-and I never acknowledged it. I guess sometimes the best things really are in front of you the whole time.
The End-I hope you guys enjoyed this!! Thanx again!
