Rory turned around and saw Jess putting his hands on her arm. She stood up, not knowing what to say.
"I thought you hated me," Rory said, shivering. Then cold tears came down her cheek.
"I don't hate you. I was mad at Luke and your mom. And myself. You have been great this whole time. Don't think you haven't," Jess explained. Rory half smiled.
"Here, I brought you a jacket," Jess said. He put it around her arms and squeezed her gently. She sat down on the bench and he sat beside her.
"Are you sure you don't hate me?" Rory asked.
"Rory, I've just been going through a hard time lately. It was tough to learn that I couldn't take you to the prom because I failed school. Then I'd promised you that I would go to that party. I should have canceled. Then we wouldn't be in this mess," Jess replied. He sighed.
"You know, Jess, I thought I would hate you for the rest of my life after what happened last night. I thought that I could never look at you again. I figured you would never speak to me again," Rory said, her hair blowing in the wind.
"Rory.. just this morning I was thinking about how stupid I was, how I didn't deserve you. You were too good. I was just the bad guy- like always," Jess said.
"We're not getting anywhere with this.. we keep coming back to the same issue," Rory explained, "Maybe our problems started before last night."
"I don't know," Jess shrugged it off.
"So why did you come back?" Rory asked. Jess kissed her. She quickly pulled away.
"What's wrong?" Jess asked.
"I'm sorry, Jess. I'm not sure if I even like you anymore," Rory replied.
"It's ok, I understand," Jess said. He was trying to be supportive. His life had turned chaotic just because of his actions. How could ditching school do that?
"I'm just having mixed feelings," Rory told him.
"It's ok. I want to work through this, Rory. It's ok. I understand," Jess's patience was running low. Rory put her arm around him to let him know that she was trying too. They just sat there.
