Gilmore Girls: "Frustrating"

Authors Note: Oh my God! You guys are the best reviewers in the entire universe! I was really unsure about this story, because of the new character and the old 'Jess returns' storyline, but I guess you think it's okay. Everyone who reviewed is awesome, come on, give yourselves a pat on the back, you know you want to.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, or settings except for Jordan and her drunken ways, and Kenny's house and its drunken smell.

Rating: PG-13

Chapter Five: Ah, Passing Out

"Jordan?" Lane asked, walking throughout the house. "Jordan?"

A grunt came from the bathroom, and Lane quickly remembered the very brief tour Kenny had given them in the early hours of the party. Lane rounded on another long hallway, and turns an abrupt left coming face to face with Jordan, with her arms resting on the sink. A beer bottle sat next to her, half empty.

"Oh, gosh, Jordan..." Lane said, rushing over to her friend.

"It's not what it looks like. I'm not throwing up, I'm washing my face." Jordan said, quickly. "Have you heard from Rory and Jess?"

"They stopped banging on the door about a half hour ago. Lucky, they don't know I'm involved, they'd probably bang our heads together." Lane told her.

"Maybe I should check on them," Jordan said, standing up. "Oh, whoa, is the room spinning or is it just me?"

"It's just you," Lane said, but Jordan didn't hear her because she had just passed out on the floor.

"Oh my God!" Rory exclaimed.

"You've said that already," Jess told her, from his position on the bed.

"Really? Well, you know what I'm trapped in an bedroom for God knows how long, and I think I'm allowed to be in shock since our supposed best friend stabbed us in the back!" Rory yelled.

"Stabbed us in the back?" Jess couldn't believe his ears. "Rory, she did us a favor."

Rory laughed. "A favor. Oh, that's rich."

"Just in case you haven't noticed we aren't on the best of terms lately," Jess pointed out.

"We've been hanging for months!" she exclaimed.

"I kissed you, Rory, and you insulted me, not just for kissing you, but for things that happened in the past. A guy doesn't just recover from that."

"I apologized, Jess! We were talking!"

"I'm a good actor," Jess said.

"And humble too," Rory muttered.

"Don't you get it? Things are never going to be the same until they go back to the way things were." Rory stared at him. "What?"

"God, Rory! Did you actually buy that story I told you and Jordan? I didn't come here because I was scared, I came back here for you."

A silence filled the room, and Rory looked down at her shoes. "You - you came back here for me?"

Jess looked up, "That's what I said wasn't it?"

"Y - yeah," Rory mumbled. She walked over to the bed, and sat down. Maybe things weren't so bad after all.

Luke and Lorelai sat outside the office, waiting patiently.

"Couple's therapy!" Luke exploded.

Lorelai fumbled with her hands, and stayed quiet.

A smart looking woman came out of the office. "Lorelai and Luke, the doctor will see you now."

"Doctor," Luke muttered, furiously into Lorelai's ear. "What does she major in? Ruining a diner owner's business hours?"

Lorelai continued to stay quiet as they entered the small office.

***

Rory and Jess hadn't talked for almost an hour. They were just grateful to be so comfortable to be in each other's presence. Rory glanced at the ceiling, and suddenly remembering that phone call that she received a couple of months ago.

"Jess? Did you call me a couple of times and hang up?" she asked.

Jess smiled, weakly. "Yeah."

Oh, girls aren't the only ones who do it, Rory thought settling back onto the bed.

***

"So, what exactly are your problems?" Dr. Green asked the pair.

"No problems!" Luke shouted.

"That's the first," Lorelai told her. "And the other day I brought up the subject of marriage and he freaked."

"Now, how long have you been dating?"

"A year," Lorelai answered at the same time Luke said, "Six months."

"Six months?" Lorelai asked. "Where did the other six months go?"

"Me yelling!" Luke shouted.

"He's not really like this," Lorelai said, smiling at the doctor.

Dr. Green just raised her eyebrows and began writing down some notes.

"What are you writing?" Luke asked, standing up. Dr. Green tried to cover them but Luke was to quick. "'Unstable boyfriend?' Huh?" Luke sat back down, and whispered to Lorelai. "If you get rid of her, I'll tell you what she wrote about you."

Rory lay there, feeling totally content. Jess lay there, feeling extremely nervous. She had barely said anything to him. What if she hated him? God, she probably does.

"Rory?" Before he could continue, she leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips. Before he got a chance to respond, she pulled back. He leaned in to kiss her again, when the door suddenly opened, and Kenny and Lane appeared carrying an unconscious Jordan.

"And the best thing is she's extremely light," Kenny told the trio.

"Yeah, I know," Jess said, standing up, and scratching his head.

Rory looked at him. "What? You think I've never done it before?"

Kenny dumped her on the bed, and then he looked at Rory and Jess. "What were you two doing in here?" he grinned.

"Nothing," Rory answered, before running downstairs. Lane waited a moment, and then followed after her.

"Well, I better go," Kenny said to Jess. "Tell me when she wakes up. I've been dying to get back into that bedroom." Jess trying not to laugh, ushered Kenny outside, and walked back to the bed.

"What are we going to do with you?"

Jordan stirred, and mumbled softly. "Don't worry, Lane, I'm a lovely drunk."

"You sure are," he laughed. He leaned down and smelled her breath. He crinkled his nose.

 "How many drinks have you had tonight?"

Jordan held up three fingers, Jess helped her put up two more, and she held up her right thumb.

"Well, I don't care what anyone says you're going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow." Jess told her.

Jordan groaned, and sat up slightly, and slowly opened her eyes. "Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"How'd it go?"

"I honestly don't know."

Jordan frowned.

"She kissed me."

"Good sign."

"Then she ran."

"Bad sign."

Jess nodded, and Jordan winced. "Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"Where's the bathroom?"

Jess quickly helped her up, and directed her to it. A couple of seconds later, the wonderful sound effects of her puking were heard throughout the house.

He looked around for Rory and saw through the window that her car had gone. What had he done wrong?
