~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 5*~*~*~*~*~
I layed there in Jess's arms as he began to tell me about his old life.
"I was only 7 when my dad left my mom. I'm surprised that he stayed with her that long. They fought all the time and he was never home. When he left I begged him to take me with him but he just told me that I was better of with my mother. I wasn't better off with her. All she ever did was have her customers over and tell me to leave for a few hours. When I turned 12 I learned that I didn't have to listen to her, so I started skipping school and going to parties. The first party I went to I met Jason. He was the same age as me, but had been doing this stuff since he was 10. He taught me everything, about lying and sneaking around. He was like my brother. I hung out with him all the time. We skipped school everyday and just went out partying. Then I met a girl. Her name was Hailey. She was 2 years older than me. She was exactly what I needed at the time. She started hanging out with me and Jason and pretty soon she became my girl. We slept together. Jason got pissed off because I was ditching him to be with her so he decided that he would get rid of her. So, he slept with her and she dumped me. Jason was known to sleep with my girlfriends. I guess he just couldn't help himself or something. I got used to it and pretty soon it didn't matter to me much anymore. I'd get the girl, Jason would sleep with her, and she would dump me. Same old thing over and over again." Jess stopped talking for a little bit to kiss me on my forehead.
"So, that's why you didn't want to tell me about your life?" I asked him. "Because it was so bad?"
"I didn't want to tell you about my life because it has nothing to do with what we have here and because I didn't want you to know what a bad kid I was."
"It doesn't matter to me what you were like back in New York. I just wanted to know more about you. About who you are."
"You know who I am."
"I do." Jess tightened his grip around me. "How many women have you slept with?" I asked him.
"Why does it matter?"
"Because I want to know."
"Two."
"Really?"
"Yes. Only two."
"That's not how I meant it."
"I know."
I looked up at him, "I love you."
"I love you too." He kissed me. "I have to go."
"Is Jason going to leave?"
"I'm going to talk to him."
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."
I walked into the house and went straight to bed. When I woke up in the morning I heard mom rustling around out in the kitchen. I layed there for a little bit and then I smelled the coffee so I got up and made my way into the kitchen.
"Hey mom."
"Hey sweetie. When did you get in last night?"
"Around 11." I thought about telling her about Jason, but quickly pushed the thought out of my mind. "What time did you get in?"
"Around 12."
"Lorelai Gilmore! That's what got you pregnant in the first place."
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize that I still lived with my mother."
"That's right. And don't you forget it."
"So, what are the plans for today?"
"I was going to see Jess for a while. If you want we can rent a movie tonight?"
"Sounds like a plan."
"Okay. I think I'm going to see if Lane can hang out for a while. I'll see you later."
"Okay honey."
I gave mom a huge hug and walked into town. When I got to Lane's house she was sitting outside on her porch steps. When she saw me she ran to me and hugged me.
"Thank the Lord that you are here! I don't know how much more I could handle!" She let go of me and jumped up and down.
"Trouble with the mother?" I asked her.
"You have no idea. She expects me to live at home all of my life or atleast until I marry a nice Korean boy and even then I can't move out of Star's Hollow. She wants me to go to college right here. When I turn 18 I am moving out. Maybe I will go to Harvard with you!"
"I wish you could, but I don't see that happening."
"I could take that very offensively, but I won't because it's true. Oh well. You will just leave me here with her. No big deal."
"You will get out of Star's Hollow someday. Just not anytime soon."
"Yeah, unfortunatly."
We began to walk to Luke's so I could get my daily coffee. Mom's coffee was good, but just not the best. Before we got there I spotted Jess and Jason at the gazebo. Jess was yelling at Jason. I grabbed Lane's arm and tried to hide behind her. She kept spinning around and finally was standing face to face with me.
"What is wrong with you?" She asked me.
"It's Jason." I replied.
"Jason? Jess's friend Jason?"
"Yes."
"So, go say hi."
"I can't."
"Why not."
"Because I just can't."
"I get the feeling that there is something that you aren't telling me."
"You are right. I can't tell you. Not yet."
The two girls walked into the diner.
*******Jess's POV*******
"What the hell is your problem?" I screamed at Jason. "I told you to leave her alone!"
"I told you it never stopped me before." Jason retorted.
"This isn't a fucking joke! My life is different now. It isn't like it used to be. You can't just come here and expect me to lay low and let you take my girlfriend. Rory is different. She isn't like the other girls I have dated."
"Why should I care what kind of girl she is. I like her. I get what I like."
"Lay another hand on her EVER and I will kill you. That's a promise."
"Cool down man. You really like her. I get it."
"You better get it. I love Rory, as hard as that is to believe, I do. Nothing is going to get between me and her. So you better knock your shit off."
"I don't know what has gotten into you, but since you moved here you've changed. You're not even Jess any more. Where did the guy go that I knew who didn't care about anything in life? Who just let what happened happen?"
"I'm still Jess, just not the one that you met. This is that last time I'm going to tell you. Don't lay another fucking hand on Rory. I mean it."
"Okay. Okay. Whatever."
*******Rory's POV*******
"Rory? RORY!"
"Huh?"
"You've been staring out the window for the past five minutes. What is wrong with you?" Lane asked me.
"Nothing." I looked down at the table.
"Something is wrong and I think you need to tell me what it is."
"Okay, but not here." I paid Luke at the counter and Lane and I went for a walk. I told her everything. Everything about how I overheard Jess and Jason's conversation to how Jason tried to rape me. After I told her I was glad because I had someone to talk to about it and she didn't go all crazy and want to kill someone. She just listened.

I'm sorry that it took me soooooo long to get this chapter up, but I've been sort of busy and I am in the process of writing two stories. I am trying. I really am. I hope you all like this chapter, I really hope you do. Don't give up on me yet, the Trory is coming. I have a feeling that this story is going to be longer than I anticipated. But I'm sure you all don't mind! Reviews please!
