*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)

Jess kissed Shane again. She was mad at him for just leaving her the night before. Jess was making it up to her by spending the whole day with her. Which meant making out most of the time. After a while he got bored, but he couldn't just leave Shane again. So now he was kissing Shane without even thinking about it. He didn't feel anything. Shane pushed him against the three and kissed him. Jess fought the urge to just push her away and leave and wrapped his arms around her waist. He heard someone cough, but didn't look up. He wondered if it was Rory. He broke the kiss, but didn't let Shane go. He looked up to see who was standing there.

Lane: ''Can we talk ?''

When Jess saw that it was Lane, he started to kiss Shane again.

Lane: ''Jess.''

J: ''Leave Lane.''

S: ''Jess, who's that ?''

J: ''No one.''

Jess pulled Shane closer and kissed her neck.

Lane: ''I'm not leaving until I talked to you.''

Jess stopped kissing Shane and sighed.

J: ''Fine.''

S: ''What ?''

J: ''It will only take five minutes.''

Shane backed away from Jess and crossed her arms.

S: ''What am I supposed to do while you and her are talking ?''

Lane: ''Get a life.''

Jess quickly glanced at Lane. She did have a point. Shane wasn't the best choice for a girlfriend. She didn't care about him, she skipped school even more times than he did and all she cared about was making out and clothes. Jess couldn't hold back a smile. He didn't know Lane that well, but one thing he did know about her was that she always said what was on her mind.

S: ''Jess.''

Lane: ''Jess.''

Lane crossed her arms and looked at Jess, imatating Shane. Jess wanted to laugh, but didn't. If he laughed then Lane would know that he thought that she was funny. And he didn't do that, he didn't show people his emotions.

S: ''Jess, do something.''

Lane: ''Yeah Jess, do something.''

Jess ignored Lane this time and faced Shane.

J: ''I'll see you at Luke's in five okay.''

S: ''Fine, but if you're not there in five I'm outta there.''

J: ''Relax, I'll be there.''

Shane turned around and started to walk towards Luke's.

J: ''What do you want ?''

Lane: ''To talk.''

J: ''I got that part. What about ?''

Lane: ''Rory.''

J: ''What about her ?''

Lane: ''She's upset.''

J: ''So ?''

Lane: ''So ? It's your fault that she's upset.''

J: ''What are you talking about ?''

Lane: ''Doose's.''

J: ''Ah Doose's.''

Lane: ''Yeah, she's upset because of what you said to Dean at Doose's.''

J: ''Well, she never told me that I couldn't tell Dean about the dance. My mistake.''

Lane: ''You did that on purpose.''

J: ''Huh, you're a genius.''

Lane: ''Don't you care about her at all ? About her feelings ?''

J: ''Why should I ? She doesn't give a damn about me.''

Lane: ''She does care about you.''

J: ''Well, she had a weird way of showing it.''

Lane: ''What do you mean ?''

J: ''Don't play dumb Lane, you're her friend, you know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that she kissed me and went to Washington without saying a word. I'm talking about the fact that she didn't care enough to call or write, not once and about the fact that she hasn't told Dean or her mom about the kiss yet.''

Lane: ''She's just afraid of losing everything.''

J: ''She still has everything. She's still with Dean.''

Lane: ''That's not fair Jess. You're still with Shane.''

J: ''There's a difference............''

Lane: ''What ? Please tell me, cause I don't understand what the difference is. She has a boyfriend and you have a girlfriend.''

J: ''Yeah, but I don't love Shane, I don't even like her. But Rory loves Dean and that will probably never change, cause she's too afraid to admit that she has feelings for me.''

Lane: ''Jess, Rory is trying to work things out.''

J: ''How ? By avoiding me ? If she really cares about me, the least she could do is talk to me in person instead of letting somebody else do it for her.''

Lane: ''She doesn't know about this conversation.''

J: ''Even better. She's really trying to work things out.''

Lane: ''Don't give me that. You're not exactly trying either.''

J: ''Why should I ?''

Lane: ''Cause I hate to see her like this, she doesn't deserve this. She made a mistake, so what ? Everyone makes mistakes.''

J: ''She doesn't.''

Lane: ''What ?''

J: ''She's too perfect to make mistakes.''

Lane: ''Jess.................you don't understand.''

J: ''What don't I understand ? Instead of facing me she runs away. She went to Washington when she kissed me and she ran away when I confronted her about it at the dance.''

Lane: ''That wasn't the smartest thing to do, but she didn't know how to deal with it.''

J: ''Whatever. Are we done ?''

Lane: ''Yeah, guess we are.''

J: ''Good.''

And with that he left Lane standing there. He understood that she was scared, cause he was too. But if Rory wanted everything to be fine between them again, then she had to stop running and come talk to him herself, no matter how scared she was.
