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, thanks so much for all the great reviews! I love it! LoL
*CUT TO LUKE'S APARTMENT -- FRONT DOOR*
(Rory slowly walks up the steps, looking back over her shoulder as she reaches the top landing. Realizing that she was indeed about to do this, she signs deeply and tries to gain some control, reaching out to knock on the door, where loud music is blasting from. When no one answers, she tries again. Still not getting an answer, she lowers her hand and turns away, intending to go back downstairs. Halfway down the steps, she stops once more and turns back around, going up the door and staring at it, as if contemplating something. Tenatively, she reaches out and turns the door handle, finding it unlocked)
RORY: Here goes nothing (just as she was about to push the door some, it flies open revealing a shirtless JESS, making RORY jump back)
JESS: Damn, Luke, can't walk in-- (stops, realizes LUKE isn't at the door, but instead it's RORY) Hey...
RORY: (looking anywhere but at him, her eyes wide) Um, hi, sorry about the door and--
JESS: No biggie.
RORY: Good, that's good.
JESS: (walks away from the door) Coming in?
RORY: (hesitates for a second, then walks in, shutting the door behind herself. Turning back to JESS, who is turning the radio down now, and seeing he was still shirtless, she stares for a moment before her face turns red and she turns away once more) Um...we said we would talk today, so I came over and Luke said you were up here, and it would be ok if I came up here, so I did, but you didn't answer the door and--
JESS: (trying to hide a small smile) You're babbling.
RORY: I'm aware.
JESS: Do you always babble during situations where you're uncomfortable?
RORY: I might be known to do that (as an after thought) Who said I was uncomfortable? I don't recall saying that.
JESS: I think you are, seeing how you haven't look at me since I opened the door (smirking now, clearing enjoying how uncomfortable she is) I was going to go out a shirt on, but if you're ok with this...
RORY: Oh, um, no, you can go do...that -- if you feel the need to.
JESS: I'm fine if you're fine. Unless you want me to go put the shirt on? (he walks toward her)
RORY: (noticing he's coming closer, she looks down once more, her face blood red now) Oh, uh...
JESS: (laughs to himself) Relax, Rory. I'm going to the bathroom, where my shirt is, cause I just got out of the shower (not being able to resist teasing her one more time, he reaches out and makes her look up at him, joking) I see I'm gonna need to loosen you up some.
(Looking into each other's eyes, both teens stare, as if being pulled toward each other. Coming to, and realizing his mistake in getting that close, JESS quickly going into the bathroom, leaving RORY alone in the main room. Taking in a shaky and deep breath, she tries to recover some and walks over to JESS'S side of the room, taking in all the clothes, books, and other things strewn around the room. Spotting the crate full of cd's, she leans down and thumbs through a few, getting caught up in the snopping)
JESS: (suddenly right behind her, now wearing a shirt) You can borrow that one, if you want.
RORY: (jumping slightly) Oh, yeah, thanks (refering to the cd) It looked good.
JESS: Not too hard for your tastes?
RORY: (primely) I'll have you know, I listen to many of the 'harder' bands.
JESS: (not sure if he should believe her or not) Like who?
RORY: 3 Doors Down, and Splender, just to name a few.
JESS: First off, 3 Doors Down isn't really one of the harders bands, neither is Splender.
RORY: What about Staind?
JESS: I'll give you that one, but only on one condition.
RORY: and that is..?
JESS: You listen to this (goes over and takes the cd out the the radio and putting it back in it's case before handing it to her)
RORY: (reading the title) Disturbed? Wow...sounds like a nice band.
JESS: They have a pretty nice cover of 'Shout' on there.
RORY: Tears for Fears?
JESS: That's my condition.
RORY: (sighing dramatically) Fine (looks back into the crate and stops, smiling while reaching in and pulling something out) What do we have here... (turns back to JESS, smiling goofily) Aww, Jess, trying bring your softer side out?
JESS: (rolling his eyes) I only bought that album for one song.
RORY: Sure ya did.
JESS: (shurgging her off) Whatever.
RORY: I mean, Train? Not someone I would have thought would grace your cd collection.
JESS: Whatever.
RORY: But, it did look awful comfy sitting between your NineInchNails and Tool cd.
JESS: Are you having fun?
RORY: (grinning) Very much. I can't wait to tell Mom about this. She'll love it. And Luke, gotta tell Luke.
JESS: Are you done yet?
RORY: Nowhere near done (handing the cd back to him and smirking) Paybacks are hell.
JESS: (shaking his head and tossing the cd down onto the bed, he smiles to himself) This coming from Rory Gilmore -- for some reason, I'm not that scared.
RORY: Ha! You smiled.
JESS: (making his face go blank) I did not smile.
RORY: Yes, you did -- I actually got a smile out of Jess Mariano.
JESS: Kinda hard to do that when I didn't smile.
RORY: Don't try and lie -- I saw it. You smiled bucko, just admitt it (RORY grins herself, looking victorious)
JESS: (walking closer to her, his face serious now) You want some kind of prize for this or something? Cause that can be arranged (when RORY looks flustered, obviously getting the hidden meaning to his statement, JESS smirks and adds) You look cute when your embaressed.
RORY: (as if suddenly remembering why she came over in the first place) Um, Jess, we need to talk.
JESS: Talking's overrated.
RORY: (trying to act like that comment didn't affect her) You said yesterday that you knew about me and Dean.
JESS: Whole town knew by noon -- Luke's already banned bagboy from the diner. I hear Taylor plans on bringing it up at the next town meeting. They'll probably tar and feather him.
RORY: (smiling briefly before becoming serious again) Jess...
JESS: They may even ban him from the next town shindig.
RORY: Can we please be serious here?
JESS: (stepping even closer while looking down into her eyes) I'm completely serious.
RORY: (inhaling nervously while trying to play it off) Then can we talk?
JESS: I believe we already are.
RORY: (not being able to hold it back anymore) This may be easier if you, um...moved back some...
JESS: Do you really want me to?
RORY: (breathles from his close proximity) Jess...
JESS: (softly) Actions speak louder than words, anyway.
(Leaning down, JESS presses his lips against RORY'S, reaching up and cupping her cheek. Hesitating only a second, RORY leans into the kiss, moving her lips against his. Deeping the kiss, JESS places his hands on her hips, pulling her snugly against him before wrapping them around her waist, ancoring her there)
RORY: (pulling away slightly) Jess, Luke might--
JESS: Shh (pulls her back into the kiss, his hand running through her hair now while the other one still holds her against him. Taking a few steps backwards, he feels the bookcase behind him and turns them around, pressing RORY'S back up against it. When RORY lets her hand slide down his chest, JESS moans faintly and pulls away finally, his breathing erratic)
RORY: (breating just as heavy) Wow...
JESS: (ginunely smiling now) Yeah.
RORY: (laughing slightly, she happens to look around and realizes what she's pressed up against) I don't think I'll ever look at reading the same way again.
JESS: Is that so?
RORY: Yeah (grows slightly nervous now) Um, Jess, does this--
(Suddenly the apartment doors bursts open. JESS and RORY jump apart quickly, one looking away and rubbing his chin while the other tries to straighten her clothes and hair. LANE is standing in the doorway, eyeing the two with a amused look on her face before she shakes her head and looks serious once more)
LANE: I think you better get downstairs, Rory.
RORY: (trying to act nonchalnt about getting caught) Why? What's going on?
LANE: Remember what happened the last time you and Dean broke up and he tried to come into Luke's?
RORY: (groaning) Not again.
JESS: What happened last time?
LANE: Luke had Dean in a headlock in the middle of the street.
RORY: I better get down there (she turns and goes for the door)
JESS: Now, this, I gotta see.
(LANE nods in agreement and all 3 head back downstairs)
TBC
A/N2: I know this part was short guys, but, hopefully, the Rory/Jess action made up for it. I'm still trying to get used to writting Jess, so ignore it if he's a little out of character. Also, I KNOW the whole 'shirtless Jess' thing has been over done, but I just couldn't resist...awe, for that to happen on the show...
Anyway, review, and let me know what you think! More reviews, the quicker I post the next part -- it's just all lonely, waiting to be posted... LoL
Also, in the next few chapters, the Lorelia and Luke action begins! I'm slipping it in slowly... :)
