Jess caught up with Rory really quickly. He was a fast runner and she was only walking. He put his hands on her arms and she turned around, crying.

"You do know that I'm sorry," Jess said. Tears flowed through Rory's eyes and she put her arms around his neck. He hugged her also. A tear ran down his face and hit Rory's shirt. She pulled back from him.

"You're the only guy who has cried for me," Rory softly explained. Jess smiled. Rory broke into tears and hugged him tighter than before. They were standing there, on the street.

"So are we ok?" Jess asked.

"I don't know yet. All I know is that this is heartbreaking," Rory said, still crying.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me. I should kill myself. I've caused everyone so much pain," Jess replied.

"No. Jess.." The comment broke Rory's heart. Jess kissed Rory's cheek. They hugged again for a moment.

"What do we do?" Rory asked.

"I don't know.. this is new for me," Jess explained.

"Ditto," Rory said. They sat on a bench and held each other. Then came Luke..

"Jess!!" Luke called. Jess looked and saw him there. Jess wiped his eyes. He was crying and didn't want to let his uncle see him like that.

"What?" Jess asked.

"Go home, come on. Rory, Lorelai called me and told me to find you and bring you home," Luke replied.

"I don't want to go home," Rory said, "I hate my mother."

"Don't say that Rory.." Jess told her.

"But it's true.. she can only see the bad in you," Rory explained. Jess stood up.

"I wonder why, Rory. I'm bad. I have no good qualities. I'm just some stupid teenager that doesn't know crap about life. I'm living to be living and I don't know why. My life is crap, Rory! My mother didn't want me. I was too much trouble and I made her look bad. You know why I got kicked out, Rory? Do you? My mom found my beer. She found my beer and she found that I had a girl sleep over and we got drunk, Rory. She thought if I came here I could straighten up. Well I guess I'm just waking up cause' you're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I screwed our relationship up, too! I hate myself, Rory. Deal with it. I'm never gonna change. I'll end up breaking your heart as long as you'll let me. I'm that way, Rory. Good bye." Jess just walked away.

Rory burst into tears and Luke left her alone and followed Jess. Rory sat there until dark. The wind blew and people walked around. She just sat and cried. That's when she felt hands on her shoulders and a voice whispering, "It's time to talk."
