Chapter One: "Eviction"
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, and I don't make money off of this fic.
Summary: Jess has his own apartment in Stars Hollow. He's had it since a couple months after he moved in with Luke, but when he can't pay his rent in time and Luke won't take him back, who will he turn to?
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
..::Jess's Apartment - Morning::..
(JESS wakes up to the sound of someone banging profusely on his front door. He rolls over and out of bed groggily, and makes his way to the door. He unlocks the locks and before opening it, checks his peep hole and sighs heavily when he sees TAYLOR standing on the other side.)
JESS: (rubbing his face) Oh God Taylor this better be important.
TAYLOR: (slightly annoyed) Oh it is. I'll have you know that you are two weeks late in paying your rent!
JESS: (staring blankly) Its 6:30 on a Saturday morning.
TAYLOR: Well if you answered your phone the three times a day I've been calling you for the past week, then this could have been avoided!
JESS: I've been busy. Go away.
TAYLOR: Doing what?
JESS: Things.
TAYLOR: What things?
JESS: Other things.
TAYLOR: What other things?
JESS: Other more important things.
TAYLOR: What other more imp… (frustrated) Oh forget it! I'm just going to say what I came here to say, then I'll be on my way.
JESS: To bad you didn't think that way when you first got here.
TAYLOR: If I don't have that rent payment in my hand by eight tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to have to evict you.
JESS: Your joking.
(TAYLOR just stares at him. JESS looks for signs that might show he is, in fact, kidding. He finds none.)
JESS: What the… (finally fully awake) Taylor! I can't pay you by then! It's impossible!
TAYLOR: (satisfied) Well then I guess you better start packing.
(TAYLOR looks JESS up and down in disgust and then turns to leave.)
TAYLOR: (under his breath) Crazy teenage hoodlum…
JESS: (yelling after him) Hey, I heard that!
(JESS slams the door and paces back and fourth. He can't pay the rent, and he knows it. He walks into the kitchen and takes a seat before something clicks in his head. He grabs the phone and dials.)
LUKE: (phone) Luke's Diner.
JESS: Luke?
LUKE: (surprised) Jess?
JESS: Hey.
LUKE: (looks at the clock) What, is it noon already?
JESS: (sighs) No.
LUKE: (stunned) Oh my God. It's 6:40.
JESS: (impatiently) Yes, I know.
LUKE: In the morning!
JESS: (impatiently) I said - I know.
LUKE: Now why are you calling me at 6:40 in the morning? No, wait, more importantly; why are you up at 6:40 in the morning?
JESS: (sarcastically) Gee Luke, I thought I'd pull a you today! You know, get up early, eat healthy, wear a flannel shirt…
LUKE: (getting fed up) Alright Jess. What do you need?
JESS: Aw c'mon Uncle Luke. I just called to chit chat! Ask some questions, get a few tips…
LUKE: Hanging up now.
JESS: No, ok, wait. (sighs and reluctantly continues) Listen, I um, I called because I need to bor…
LUKE: (cutting him off) No.
JESS: You didn't let me finish!
LUKE: No.
JESS: Luke!
LUKE: No! Jess, no more money! You already owe me God knows how much and I'm not lending you anymore! I can't afford it!
JESS: I'll get evicted!
LUKE: Oh, yes Jess like I haven't heard that one before. You need to learn some responsibility, I'm sick of bailing you out all the time!
JESS: Yea but this time I'm serious, Taylor came banging on my door at 6:30 this morning. Why do you think I'm up so early calling you?
LUKE: For tips?
JESS: (seriously) Luke…
LUKE: I'm sorry Jess. Not this time.
JESS: (almost begging) Luke, please…
LUKE: (sighing) I can't Jess.
JESS: (angry) Fine! When I'm out on the streets, cold and alone and dying of starvation I hope you feel real good about yourself!
(JESS slams down the phone without saying goodbye and retreats back to his bedroom. He decides to sleep on it and think about what to do later on that day. Or at least, sometime before 8pm that night.)
