chapter 9: The Aftermath
***
They lie there on the bridge, holding each other close, the
blanket they had been sitting on earlier spread over them. Jess' hand
reached out to stroke her soft stomach, and that's when he felt it.
The little metal stud in her belly button.
He bolted upright. She did to.
"Shit!" he yelled so loudly an owl that had been cooing stopped
suddenly, startled by the noise.
"Ah shit," he said again. He took a closer look at the girl
who had now sat up too, blushing madly. He couldn't believe he had made
the mistake. Lori was using him, and he had fallen into her twisted
scheme.
"Lori, what the hell are you doing?" he asked, his voice low
and full of such anger that scared her.
"Lori?" she asked, struggling to remain calm. "Jess, what are
you talking about?"
"God Lori, don't even try. Your damn cover is blown. I can't
believe I fell for this. I knew it was wrong," he said as he pulled on
his clothes.
"What are you talking about?" she asked again, knowing very well
she was failing.
"You're belly button ring," he answered coldly. He walked away,
leaving her on the bridge.
Lori just sat there. She knew Jess would blow up when he found
out he had slept with her, not Rory, but she never expected it would
be so soon. Her careful planning hadn't left any room for that part.
*****
Jess crossed town to Rory's house. He didn't know what he was
doing, he was just led there, as if not by his own will. He didn't want
to tell her what had happened, but he knew that he had to be honest to
her, hoping that it would make things easier.
When he reached her house, he was almost relieved to see that
the lights were all out. He could faintly make out her image sleeping
peacefully in her bed. Jess wondered how Lori had managed to make it out
of the house instead of her.
But he just walked to the diner. He didn't want to think about
Lori. He never wanted to see her face again.
Too bad that same face kept him awake all night, the guilt of
his actions keeping him from sleeping.
*****
The three Gilmores walked into Luke's diner the next morning
for breakfast. Jess couldn't bring himself to meet Rory's eyes when
she walked in, and he quickly ran to the back storage room, pretending
to need more coffee filters.
From the back, he could hear Rory and Lorelai bantering playfully,
and Lori was talking to Luke. Jess knew from the way that she had
pranced into the diner so nonchalantly that she would never say a word.
He figured she would wait until the truth came out in some disastrous
way. Jess had known almost immediately that last night was just some
elaborate scheme to ruin Rory's life.
And Jess would have rather died than be a part of it. But it
was too late, the damage was done, and he knew there was nothing in the
world he could do to put things back to the way they were just yesterday
morning.
