Chapter 7
Jess walked down the streets of stars hollow, as the sun rose directly up in the sky. It was a about noon or so and a cool breeze tugged at his leather jacket. 'let her go..' He told himself. Rory's happiness was more important to him than his own. Somehow he knew it wouldn't last...him and her. He was a fad...part of a phase rory went through. She knew where her heart was and it certainly was not with him. He stopped a minute and stared at the ground. Dean was good for her. Strong, caring, not the sharpest tool in the shed, but smart in his own way. He was every girls all American dream boy. The one you could take home to mom and dad and know they would love him. Jess Mariano was never going to be that way.never.
"Jess?" a femine voice called out of nowhere. Jess sighed...he wished that Rory would just leave him alone. Turning around he looked at the girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
"I want you to understand whats going on.." She said slowly.
"whats there to understand rory? Its simple.I'm not dim.. You still love him...you realized after being with me how much you really do love him...i was a catalyst that set off the chain reaction...now that I have finished causing wakes...i get shipped off. I get it, alright." Jess explained, holding his head high with a straight face.
"I really did like you ..I may have even loved you at one point or another.but I don't know.something just sparked between me and dean again...i cant explain it...it just happened. Please don't hate me.i know this sounds incredibly cliché...but I do want to be friends still.after all we will run into each other..drink coffee at the same time in the mornings..we cant avoid each other forever.." Rory replied cracking a smile.
Jess smiled weakly and turned around.. "See you around.." he said and walked off. Rory watched him go in silence.smiling gently. It was right... she was better off and so was he.
Dean waited patiently with loralei at the table in luke's.his ribs now throbbing in his broad chest. He took shallow slow breaths and tried to take his mind off the pain. What was going on? Why was she with jess so long.he trusted rory ...even after what happened last time he couldn't help but trust her again...was it worth it to put his heart back into this? He looked towards the door to see rory walk back in half smiling. He breathed a sigh of relief as dean stood up to greet her.
"Lets take a walk.." She said quietly, placing her hand in his, dean smiled softly as he was led outside. They walked down the streets of stars hollow chatting aimlessly. She turned a corner and rory's breath caught in her chest. There was jess...but not just jess but a trashy looking blonde. She looked familiar. Shane..Rory breathed to herself. Jess pulled away from the blonde as he planted one last lingering kiss. There were no words between them. Rory looked on in disgust. He heart did not her.her mind was not angry..she knew this would happen...somehow she knew.
"Looks like you found someone more fitting jess." Rory finally said and walked away.
Jess watched her go sadly..Shane hung on him like she was attached at the hip.. his heart sank but then rose again. Rory was never meant for him..they weren't the same class or social stature...she was too good for him. She belonged with Dean. Dean Bagboy Forrester...not Jess Mariano.
