"So you ok?" Jess asked as they came up to her door.
"I don't know, really." Rory said as she sat down on the steps of her house.
Jess sat down next to her. "Can I do anything?"
"Can you make all the sadness that I feel right now go away?" Rory asked.
"I wish I could, but I can't."
"Well then you're not much help."
"Hey! I can still be here for you. If you want me to that is."
"I do, and you know I never thanked you for coming tonight."
"You don't have to."
"Yeah I do, because you didn't have to go but you did."
"That's what friends do."
"Friends, right." Rory said sadly as she got up. "I seem to have a lot of those."
"Do you not want friends or something?"
"No, I didn't say that. I just… you know what I'm going to go inside. Good night, Jess." Rory said.
"Good night, Rory." Jess said as he started to walk home. "Friends." He mumbled to himself.
Rory got inside, closed the door, and leaned up against the door. "Friends, I guess that's fine for now."
"Hey wake up!" Luke screamed as he walked into Jess room.
"Five more minutes." Jess said rolling over to the wall.
"With your attendance record, you can't afford to miss a day of school. So wake up!" Luke screamed.
"Ok, at least one more minute." Jess begged.
"I have costumers waiting down stairs so get up!" Luke screamed again.
"Ok, ok chill." Jess said as he rolled out of bed. "Come on give me a break I was up late last night."
"I heard. Where you at any time planning on asking me if you could go?" Luke asked mad.
"Didn't think you mind. I wasn't breaking any laws, wasn't harassing any one or was I doing anything that is considered as a bad thing."
"But you did lie to me, you told me you were upstairs."
"No, you guessed I was up stairs. I never once told you that I was staying up stairs. You just saw me go so you assumed I was staying there."
"But I never saw you come down."
"Yeah that's one of my many talents."
"Yeah well try to unlearn that one, I don't like it."
"Ok, what's going on up here? The costumers can hear you." Sasha asked as she came up stairs.
"I'm trying to get him to go to school." Luke said.
"School's over rated." Sasha said.
"I like the way she thinks. Uncle Luke, marry this women, I like her." Jess said.
"Sasha, please don't try to help." Luke said annoyed.
"Wait just a second here, I have my reasons." Sasha said defensively.
"I don't want to hear them." Luke said.
"I do." Jess said interestingly.
"I mean come on what could you possibly learn from sitting in a small desk for a lot of hours out of your life. Yes you get smarter, yes you can get a good job but what's that worth any way. I mean you can always be a waiter for your whole life in your uncle's restaurant, still be by yourself because the girl you want is away at collage, still being breaking the same laws but hey you could end up in prison because you never learned that the law changed and it's a worse punishment now. So hey drop out school, it's not big deal right?" Sasha said smiling.
"On second thought don't marry her." Jess said as he headed down stairs.
Luke laughed. "Thanks, I was a little worried you were going to support him there for a second."
"Wouldn't dare, I was a lot like him when I was his age."
"I can see that."
"I don't think that was a compliment."
"Well you don't seem to have changed that much."
Sasha laughed. "Change takes a while, a long while. But I'm working on it and believe me I was a lot worse back then. Just be glad that Jess isn't near as bad as I was."
"I'll take your word on that." Luke said smiling.
"Sherrie?" Chris asked as he entered his apartment.
"You decided to actually come home, I see." Sherrie said as she came out from his room.
"Did I give the impression I wasn't coming home?" Chris asked confused.
"Why didn't you tell me Sasha was in Stars Hallow?"
"Blunt today aren't we?" Chris said annoyed as he walked into the kitchen.
Sherrie followed him. "Is she the reason you went back?"
"You already think she is don't you?"
"That's not an answer. Why want you answer me?" She asked mad.
"Because I know you won't like the answer."
"I knew it, you still love her, she still love Sasha, you still love Lorelai, but the real question is Chris do you still love me?" Sherrie said at the point of tears.
Chris did not know what to say. He did not want to break her heart, but she needed to know the truth. But how was he going to say it?
"Answer me damn it! Answer me!" Sherrie said furious.
"Sherrie…." Chris started to say.
Sherrie knew just looking in his eyes the answer. "Never mind, I know the answer." She said as she ran out of the kitchen.
Chris followed her to his bedroom. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"Taking my stuff and leaving." She said as she threw some stuff in a bag.
"You knew this was going to happen?" He asked shocked.
"You know me. I always like to be prepared." She said sarcastically. She threw the last of her things in her bag and started to leave.
Chris followed her to the door.
When she got the doorframe, she stopped. "You know, Chris I really do hope things work out for you."
"Sherrie…" He started to stay.
"Don't, it's too late. If you would have asked me before to stay while I was still inside, I would have but now all you can say is goodbye." She said crying.
"I didn't mean to hurt you." He said sadly.
"I know. I know, but you cannot really love three people now can you? That heart of yours is big but Chris it is not that big." Sherrie said as she headed to her car.
Chris watched as she drove away.
"So how are you doing?" Rory asked Tristan as she came up to his table at lunch.
"Much better."
"That's good to know." Rory said as she took a chair next to him.
"I never really got to tell you thanks for coming last night and pass the message on to Jess too."
"It's ok we're friends remember? Friends are always there for each other no matter what happens."
"That's true but I didn't know Jess was included in that."
"He's your friend because he's my friend."
"Ok I see, so has anything changed…" Tristan started to say.
"Let's not do this right now, ok? Let's just focus on the good right now. Let's not try to analyze it." Rory begged.
"Will do? So how tired are you?" Tristan asked smiling.
"If I could I fall asleep right here, right now." She said smiling.
"Then do it, I'll make sure no one catches you."
"See it is moments like this, that you get to see who your real friends are." Rory said smiling as she laid her head down on the table.
"Can I get a coffee?" Lorelai asked as she came up to the counter.
"Coming right up." Luke said as he poured her a cup.
"Wait, what's wrong?" Lorelai asked worried.
"What do you mean?" Luke asked confused.
"You just agreed to give me coffee, no fighting, no telling me how bad it is, you just gave it to me. Why?"
"Does there have to be a reason?"
"Yes, and I want to know it!" She said impatiently.
"I'm just in a good mood, that's all."
"You don't ever have good moods, unless I'm actually involved in them. So what caused this so called good mood?"
"Hey Luke, I think I may have found it." Sasha said coming out happily.
"Never mind, I know so Luke you and Sasha are close?" Lorelai asked smiling.
"Drink your coffee before I take it away from you!" Luke yelled.
"Let's see coffee or information on your love life? That's a hard one." Lorelai said smiling.
"Believe me the coffee is more interesting." Sasha said laughing.
