TITLE: All My Life :)
AUTHOR: Melissa
PAIRING: Rory/Jess
DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I don't own Milo Ventimiglia...boy, if I did... Anyway,
they are not mine, neither is the begining of this story, since I'm
stealing the next-to-last scene in 'Haunted Leg' and twisting it to my own
benefiet :) LoL
Also, the tittle doesn't belong to me either, it's a Foo Fighter's song.
So, basically, all I have is a white SUV, season 1-3 of Roswell on tape,
All 3 Princess Dairies books in hardback, and this computer. If you sue,
all you'll get it is the SUV, cause that's all I'm willing to give up!!
RATING: Um...PG13, I guess
SUMMARY: What if Rory and Jess's arguement in 'Haunted Leg' revealed more
than they imagined?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey people's. This is my first story in a script format, so
be gentle if I suck at it. I'm still getting into the swing of it, so bare
with me. I'm not sure how many parts there are gonna be to this -- maybe
one, maybe 50, who knows. I haven't really thought ahead that much. I just
got his idea and started writting. As you'll see, I kinda stole Jess and
Rory's conversation from 'Haunted Leg' and sorta changed it around -- for
the better in my opinion! LoL
Also, I just wanna thank everyone for the great responses. I was shocked when I signed online today, and my email was filled with all these review alerts things! I think my boyfriend was in shock (he doesn't understand the whole fanfiction thing, and has yet to read any of my writtings -- I get to embaressed and had declined from letting him read them yet -- so he was basically clueless and shocked when I was grinning ear from ear when I saw them) Anyway, part 2 is out pretty quick, but I'm not sure if I can claim to keep this up -- I have 1 or 2 more parts up my sleeve still, but I may span their uploading dates apart some, so to give myself some time to get ahead and not be left empty handed with no new parts to post.
So, enjoy and review!! You guys should really, REALY like this one! LoL

*CUT TO KIM'S RESIDENCE -- LANE'S ROOM*
(RORY is pacing around the room while LANE sits on the bed, indian style, her eyes wide and following her friends every move)
RORY: So, after embrassing myself in Doose's, I'm so mad that I go home, pull out said box of letters and go down to Luke's, where I proceede to spill them all over the counter infront of Luke, Shane, and especially, Jess!
LANE: Wow...so, you actually kissed Jess at the wedding?!
RORY: Lane -- focuse. What if he actually reads them? (panicking) He'll know how I feel!
LANE: (standing up and taking RORY by the shoulders) Ok, calm, deep soothing breaths...calm.
RORY: (anything but) I am calm!
LANE: That is not calm -- calm is not climbing through my bedroom window, yelling about shoeboxes and blonde bimbo's.
RORY: (crossing her arms and pouting) She's all wrong for him.
LANE: And whose right? You? (realizing what she said, she shrinks back some) Sorry.
RORY: (sighing deeply and falling down to the bed) I need to get home...it's late.
LANE: (nodding) Yeah...do some thinking?
RORY: Do some thinking. (standing up and heading for the window) Thanks for listening to me rant.
LANE: Anytime -- it's nice to be on the rational end for once.
*CUT TO THE BRIDGE*
(It's dark and dreary. a faint light is coming from the moon, making JESS'S shadow seem mutated as he sit on the bridge, his legs dangling right above the water. RORY'S letter is in his hands and he's reading it, deeply engrossed, so much that his cigareete is burning it's self out in his fingers. Turnig the page over, JESS continues to read, not seeming to notice that his cigarette is getting closer and closer to the paper. Feeling something hot, he looks closer and see the edge of the page on fire)
JESS: Shit! (tossing the letter in the lake while holding his burnt hand, JESS suddenly realizes what he did) No! Fuck! (gets down on his stomach and practically falls into the lake, fishing out the paper, only to find it soaked through and un-readable) Damnit!
RORY: (not visible) Glad there's no kids around.
(Freezing, JESS finally looks over at RORY, who is standing behind him. Leaning back on his heels, he resumes his usualy gruff look and glances away finally)
JESS: They'll pick the words up somewhere, if not from me.
RORY: (nodding in agreement) Song lyrics.
JESS: What are you doing here?
RORY: (caught off guard by his blunt question) I, um...I was walking home--
JESS: (still not looking at her) Home is the other way.
RORY: I wanted to think.
JESS: So you came here.
RORY: I came here.
JESS: Why?
RORY: You don't own this bridge (trying to lighten the mood) Though you did have to replace the money to fix it, so maybe we should put your name on it.
JESS: Don't.
RORY: (looking away quickly before biting out) I'm sorry if I'm intruding on your 'alone time'. I'm actually kinda surprised that Shane isn't here.
JESS: (pulling out another cigarete while keeping her letter in his hands) Is that so?
RORY: (angered) Smoking is bad for your health (reaches for the cigarette, but stops when she sees the letter)
JESS: (taking her wrist while she bends, keeping her beside him) So are some other things (stares into her wide eyes, admitting) I never got to finish it.
RORY: (softly, as if she was afraid to speak) You didn't?
JESS: How's it end?
RORY: I don't know...that's the bad thing (finally looking away, RORY stands up, wrapping her arms around her body as she turns to walk off)
JESS: (jumping to his feet and pulling her back toward him) I do.
RORY: (wide-eyed, she stares, unable to move. Jess's eyes dip to her lips and she brakes out of the trance, rambling) I shouldn't be here -- I wasn't expecting anyone to be here and I need to get home before Mom does or she'll worry and I don't want her to worry.
JESS: Wouldn't want that (out of the blue) Why?
RORY: (semi-confused) I don't like making her worry and--
JESS: (stepping closer to her and ending her rant before it starts again) Why shouldn't you be here?
RORY: (breaking eye-contact and gazing out over the water) I'm still with Dean.
JESS: (making a slight sound before acting like he doesn't care) Of course.
RORY: Jess...
JESS: I mean, it wouldn't be my life unless you were still with Dean.
RORY: (obviously distressed) God...why does everything have to be so hard!
JESS: (not being able to hold back) You're making it this hard! If you would just open your eyes and look around, then maybe we-- (stopping and taking in a deep breath, he shakes his head and realizes what he said. Seeing the look of shock and fear on RORY'S face, he sighs and runs his hands through his hair) Forget it. I'll leave you alone to think.
RORY: (closing her eyes as he walks off, she takes in a deep breath, silently questioning something. Working up the courage, she spins around suddenly and calls out) Jess! (he stops and turns back around, facing her silently) I, um... (trying to pick her words and gain the nerve, she stumbles out) If me and Dean were too, I mean, if I told Dean and we...if me and him--
JESS: (realizing what she was asking) I'm not going anywhere, Rory.
(He turns and walks off, leaving RORY alone on the bridge, watching him retreat until she turns to stare into the water, her eyes silently searching the creek for answers)
*CUT TO GAZEBBO*
(Morning sun is pouring in on RORY, who is sitting stiffly inside, her hands ranging at her sides. Hearing noises, she turns to watch as DEAN walks up, her nervesness upping even more)
DEAN: Hey (walks closer and leans down, intending to kiss her)
RORY: (with widened eyes, she quick peaks toward the dinner before turning her head, her eyes downcasted now)
DEAN: (realizing something is wrong when all he got was her cheek) Um...why did you want to meet here?
RORY: (taking in a deep breath) Maybe you should sit down...(finally looking up into DEAN'S eyes) We need to talk.
*CUT TO LUKE'S*
(JESS stand behind the counter, his eyes glued to the gazebbo across the road. RORY and DEAN are visible in his eye-line. LUKE comes up behind him, looking down at his hand, where he's wipping the counter-top)
LUKE: I think that spot is clean now (JESS moves down a few steps, wipping there, his eyes still on the window) Think you need to dunk your rag again? It's bone-dry (frustrated that he is being ignored, LUKE sighs) Like talking to a wall...
*CUT TO RORY AND DEAN*
DEAN: Why do I need to sit down?
RORY: Because I asked you to.
DEAN: Why? (when RORY looks away, DEAN sighs and finally sits down) There, I'm sitting.
RORY: Thank you.
DEAN: (pauses before asking casually) How's your day going?
RORY: (with a stern and unnatural calm-ness) I don't want to talk about my day.
DEAN: (eyeing her) Then what do you want to talk about?
RORY: I, we, we need to talk about... (her bravo fails some and she swallows deeply) I think we should...um...
DEAN: (realizing where this was going) You're not doing what I think you are...
RORY: (ignoing his comment) I really do think it's best if we--
DEAN: You are, aren't you? (stands up quickly, spinning to face her) Rory...
RORY: Dean, this is hard and--
DEAN: Then don't do this!
RORY: (trying to remain calm) Please sit back down.
DEAN: No.
RORY: Dean--
DEAN: I said no! (kneeling in front of her, he pleads) Rory...please don't...I love you -- I don't wanna be with-out you.
RORY: (losing her calm and starting to cry softly, she shakes her head) Please don't make this any harder.
DEAN: (angered by her statement) So, what, you just want me to agree to this? You want me to just roll over and let you go?! Maybe I don't want to let you go!
RORY: (shocked by his explosion) That's...this...you don't have a choice
(DEAN shoves himself away and falls down to the other bench, hanging his head. RORY tentivly stands up and wipes at her eyes, but the tears keep coming as she continues to speak)
RORY: We've grown apart, we have. I care for you, I do...but it's not the same anymore. Things have changed...we've changed.
DEAN: (still not looking up) So this is it?
RORY: (pauses, then answeres softly) Yes.
(DEAN doesn't respond and RORY wipes at her eyes again, taking in a deep breath. Catching something hanging on her wrist, she stares at the charm- bracelet before she pulls it off, her fingers slipping some as they shake)
RORY: Here (she hands him the bracelet)
DEAN: (looking up at her) I made that for you.
RORY: I-I know...but--
DEAN: But nothing. That's yours.
RORY: (starting to cry even harder) Please take it...please.
DEAN: God (standing back up, his own eyes blurry with tears now as he pleads once more) Rory, please don't do this, I need you (he tries to hug her, but she pulls out of his embrace) Dammitt! (angered, DEAN backs up, shaking his head)
RORY: I never wanted to hurt you--
DEAN: (raising his voice) What do you think this is doing, huh? Was this supposed to be like running through a field of daisy's or something?!
RORY: (rubbing her arms while looking down) Dean, please calm down.
DEAN: No! (reaching over and grabbing the bracelet, he hurls it out into the street before bitting out bitterly) See that...that's what you did to my heart.
(Gasping softly, RORY is shocked into silence. Refusing to look at DEAN, she rushes past him, her hair flowing behind her as she flees. DEAN looks like he wants to say something, but stops himself and turns the other way, walking out of the gazebo. He pauses when he reaches the bottom, his eyes boring into LUKE's, where he sees JESS near the window, looking toward the way RORY had fled. Sneering, he storms toward his house, vowing to get to the bottom of everything)

A/N2: You like? I'm still a little unsure on Rory and Dean's break-up, but I didn't know how else to make it happen, so this is what you guys got! I didn't want to make Dean too mean, but he had to be some for this fic to work :(
Also, I just wanna thank everyone for the great responses. I was shocked when I signed online today, and my email was filled with all these review alerts things! I think my boyfriend was in shock (he doesn't understand the whole fanfiction thing, and has yet to read any of my writtings -- I get to embaressed and had declined from letting him read them yet -- so he was basically clueless and shocked when I was grinning ear from ear when I saw them) Anyway, part 2 is out pretty quick, but I'm not sure if I can claim to keep this up -- I have 1 or 2 more parts up my sleeve still, but I may span their uploading dates apart some, so to give myself some time to get ahead and not be left empty handed with no new parts to post.
