Hey!!! I have some bad and some good news. The bad news is that I'm going to stop updating three of my stories. But the good news is that it will only be until I finished this one and *From Stars Hollow to NYC and back again*. To update five stories every week is a lot of work and it takes a lot of time. I really wanna finish these two stories first so I hope that you guys will understand. This story will be finished after about 6 or 7 more chapters. I'll understand if you guys will stop reading this story, because it's too long or the other ones, because I won't update them for a while. But don't worry I'll update this story and the other one as often as I can, so it won't take too long to finish them. Anyway thanks for the reviews I got and please review this chapter too. (I can't write short stories, I tried, but I just can't.)

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

Jess was on his way back to the diner when he spotted a face that he had seen before. He observed the girl and tried to find the name that came with her face. He was sure that he had seen her before. Suddenly he remembered her. It was the girl from the party. Laura. Yeah, that was her name. He looked at her again and wondered what she was doing in Stars Hollow ? Laura spotted him and smiled at him. Jess didn't smiled back, but just kept on walking. He didn't trust her. She wasn't supposed to be here. He walked past her without saying a word. He could hear her footsteps behind him. Suddenly he felt a hand grab his arm. Jess stopped and turned around to look at her. His eyes went from her eyes to her hand that was resting on his arm and back to her face again.

L: ''Hey, didn't you see me or something ?''

J: ''I saw you.''

L: ''Then why did you just walk past me ?''

Jess shrugged and pulled his arm back.

J: ''Just felt like it.''

Laura looked up at him and he met her eyes for a moment. Jess could see the confusion is her eyes and held back a smile. Guess she just figured out that not every guy in the world liked her.

L: ''I guess I deserve that.''

J: ''You think ?''

L: ''Listen, I'm real sorry for what happened at the party. I guess I had too much to drink and I couldn't control myself anymore.''

J: ''That's no excuse.''

L: ''I know, but I just wanted to let you know that I really am sorry.''

She looked at him with an innocent look on her face. And Jess almost believed her.

J: ''So you came all this way just to tell me that ?''

L: ''Yeah.''

J: ''Really ?''

L: ''You don't believe me, do you ?''

Jess shook his head.

J: ''Nope.''

L: ''I don't blame you.''

J: ''Gee thanks. Are we done now ?''

Laura nodded and Jess started to turn around, but Laura grabbed his arm again.

L: ''Actually there's one more thing.''

J: ''What ?''

He faced Laura again and before he could do anything she kissed him. Jess was surprised at first, but recovered quickly and pushed Laura away.

J: ''What are you doing ?''

L: ''No, I think the question is what you just did.''

Jess was just about to ask her what she meant, but saw that she was looking at something behind him. He turned around quickly and looked straight into a pair of hurt blue eyes.

J: ''Rory...........I.........she........''

He took a step towards her, but Rory backed away from him.

R: ''You forgot your jacket.''

Rory threw his jacket at him. Jess caught it and looked at Rory again. She had tears in her eyes now. They looked at each other for a while without saying anything. Finally Rory turned around and walked away from him.

L: ''Let me guess, that was your girlfriend ?''

Jess turned around to look at Laura. She had a satisfied look on her face.

J: ''Are you happy now ?''

L: ''Actually I am, thanks for asking. What about you ?''

She smiled at him and waited for him to answer, but he didn't.

L: ''Well I guess I better go now. Bye Jess.''

She winked at him and left. Jess leaned against the wall and just stared at his jacket. After a while he threw his jacket on the floor and cursed softly. He couldn't believe that he had let that happen again.

Rory buried her head in her arms and started to cry. She trusted Jess, she believed him when he had told her that it had been a mistake and that the girl had been drunk. She had really believed that Jess cared for her and that he would never hurt her. But she guessed that she had been wrong. If he really loved her than he would have never kissed that girl. Maybe she had been wrong all this time, maybe falling for Jess was stupid of her. Suddenly Rory heard footsteps on the bridge that were coming her way. She really hoped that it wasn't Jess, she wasn't ready to look him in the eyes just yet.

D: ''Rory..........are you okay ?''

Rory relaxed when she heard Dean's voice. It was just Dean. She didn't answer and kept crying. Dean sat down next to her and looked at Rory. She was crying which had to be a good sign. The plan that Tristan came up with must have worked. Dean held back a smile. He knew that it was wrong of him to hurt the girl that he really loved, but there just wasn't another way. He had to make her see that Jess wasn't the one and by the looks of it he made his point.

D: ''Rory........''

He placed his hand on her shoulder. Rory looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

D: ''What happened ?''

R: ''I thought he really loved me, but.............''

D: ''He doesn't ?''

Rory shook her head and wiped away some of her tears.

R: ''I saw him with the girl from the party and...........th.....they were kissing.''

Dean looked at her with a concerned look on his face and started to stroke the back of her neck with his hand.

D: ''I'm so sorry, I was sure that things were going to work out for you two.''

R: ''Me too.''

Rory buried her head in her arms again. Dean just kept stroking her neck. When Rory looked up again he wiped a strand of hair away from her face and looked into her eyes.

D: ''Do you think that you and Jess will work things out ?''

Rory shook her head.

R: ''Not this time.''

She started to cry again. Dean pulled her closer and put his arms around her. Rory buried her face in his chest and didn't notice the smile that was starting to spread across Dean's face.

Rory liked the way Dean's arms made her feel safe. They protected her from the world. But if she would have known that it was Dean that had come between her and Jess, the last thing she would have wanted were his arms around her. Suddenly Rory looked up. She could feel someone watching her and it wasn't Dean. She turned her head and saw Jess standing at the other end of the bridge with a hurt look on his face.

He narrowed his eyes and turned around. He knew that in her heart Rory still loved Dean. The prove had been right in front of his eyes. He came to explain everything to her, but now that he saw her in the arms of Dean he didn't want to anymore. All he wanted was to be as far away from her as he possibly could.

Rory saw the hurt look in his eyes and immediately she felt guilty about being here with Dean instead of with him. She should have given him a chance to explain, but instead she allowed Dean to put his arms around her. And she knew that it was the wrong thing to do. But even tough she knew this she still let Dean touch her. But it just felt comforting and she really needed comfort right now. But it still was the wrong thing to do. She and Dean were broken up and she had a feeling that she and Jess were too. She started to pull away from Dean.

D: ''Are you okay ?''

R: ''Yeah, thanks for being here for me, but I really wanna be alone right now.''

Dean nodded and let go of Rory.

D: ''I understand.''

He got up and started to walk away from Rory. When he reached the other end of the bridge he looked back at Rory. He grabbed his cell-phone and dialed Tristan's number.

T: ''Hello ?''

D: ''Hey Tristan, it's Dean. Just to let you know, you're plan worked.''

T: ''Really ?''

D: ''Yeah, I don't know what Laura did, but it worked.''

T: ''So Jess and Rory are........?''

D: ''Broken up.''

T: ''For sure ?''

D: ''Definitely.''

T: ''How........how's Rory ?''

D: ''Hurt of course. She's crying, but that's a good thing.''

T: ''Guess so.''

D: ''Of course it is. She let me touch her and I got to be close with her again.''

T: ''Congrats.''

D: ''Thanks. I gotta go. Talk to you later.''

T: ''Yeah, see you later.''

Dean hung up and Tristan looked at his cell-phone. He should be happy. Rory and Jess were broken up just like he wanted, but for some reason he didn't feel happy about it. He actually felt sorry for them. Especially for Rory. She must be thinking that she and Jess weren't meant to be and that the whole world was against them being together, when really it were him and Dean that were against them being together. He felt about bad about what he had done to Rory. He never wanted to make her cry or feel hurt. She didn't deserve that. She had always been nice to him even when he was acting like a jerk. And how did he repay her kindness ? By going behind her back and teaming up with Dean to break her and Jess up. He knew that he couldn't undo the damage that he and Dean had done, but he could at least tell her the truth.
