own is my imagination and the plot.
*A/N: Hey!!! Sorry for not updating yesterday, but my friend was sleeping over so........Anyway here's the next chapter. It's kinda short, but I decided that it could stand on it's own. Rory's relationship is coming down..............;-) Please leave a review. Fanfic has been screwing with my reviews, so for some reason I can't see all of them when I click on reviews. Thanks for every one though, they ARE appreciated!
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
Rory opened her luminous blue eyes, that matched both her spirits and the late morning sky. Her dreams, that seemed so vivid last night, were slowly fading, until they became vague, reminding her of a blurry picture. Like her emotions. Her emotions were blurry too, not clearly visible, so she didn't really know what she was feeling right now. Her mind was a mess too. The memories, that were so neatly stores before, were now scattered across her mind. Unorganized and reckless. Rory's eyes fell on the piece of paper, that she was still holding in her hands. Her fingers were gripping the edges of the note, as if it was the most precious thing in the world. And maybe it was..........to the other half of her. The half that loved Dean and never doubted anything about him. She looked at his boyish handwriting and read the note again, without really noticing.
*~*~* I'm sorry for hurting you like that. I never meant to. It's just that things seem to be different between us lately. But maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that will bring us closer together. I wanted to apologize for acting the way I did. I should have understood that you wouldn't just forget what happened. But you have nothing to be embarrassed about. I respect you and I respect and love everything about you, including your feelings. And I know I act jealous sometimes, but I can't help it. I'm afraid that someone will take you away from me, though I know that would never happen. I hope you accept this apology. Love, Dean. *~*~*
She smiled, but it wasn't a genuine one. Even though she got what she wanted.......she didn't feel happy about it. Dean apologized and said he understood, what more did she want from him ? Nothing. Rory shook her head. She couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. He had given her everything......... But maybe she didn't want 'everything' anymore. What if she could be happy with less ? A less perfect boyfriend, but a better relationship ? One, that didn't include fighting and arguing every single day. A boyfriend who she had things in common with. Lot's of things. Rory smiled at the thought. Perfect. Maybe not in other people's eyes, but in her eyes it would be perfect. But then her smile faded. She had Dean and they were a match made in heaven, though he didn't have a lot of things in common. But then again, opposites attract. Rory bit her lip and looked at the note again. Suddenly there was a soft knock on the other side of the door.
Lane: ''Are you awake ?''
R: ''No.''
Rory could hear the door open and moments later Lane entered the room. She looked at Rory with her dark eyes.
Lane: ''Hey.''
R: ''Hey.''
Lane: ''Are you okay ?''
Lane closed the door and lay down on the bed next to Rory.
R: ''Yeah.''
Without saying anything else, she handed Lane the note. And Lane took it, no questions asked, and started to read in silence. When Lane was done, she handed the note back to Rory, who started to play with it. She was wondering if she should tear it up or not.
Lane: ''He apologized.''
Rory nodded.
R: ''Yeah.''
Things were silent between them for a minute, with only the sounds of the island to fill the silence between them. Finally Lane turned her head and looked at Rory.
Lane: ''Then why aren't you happy ?''
Rory shrugged, avoiding Lane's gaze.
R: ''Dean's right. Something is different between us.''
Lane: ''I know.''
R: ''You do ?''
Lane: ''Yes, and so do you.''
R: ''You mean.............''
Lane: ''Jess.''
Rory bit her lip, not agreeing with Lane. But she didn't deny it either. She knew that in some way she was attracted to Jess and she also knew that they had a couple of things in common. But that was what made them such compatible friends.
Lane: ''So.........are you coming ?
Suddenly Lane got off the bed.
Lane: ''.......To eat breakfast ?''
Rory opened her mouth to say something, but Lane beat her to it.
Lane: ''Don't worry, everyone's at the beach already. Except for Jess, cause he was the one that actually made breakfast.''
Rory hid a smile and nodded.
R: ''Okay.''
*~*~*
In the kitchen, they found a table full with fruit, different kinds of cereals and bacon. Rory couldn't help but smile when she saw all this. Lane just grabbed a piece of bacon and watched Rory take in all the food that was on the table.
J: ''Morning.''
Rory looked up and met Jess' eyes. Proudness and amusement were glistering in them.
R: ''Hey.''
Rory smiled at Jess, still not believing that he actually did all this.
R: ''Did you.............?''
Jess nodded.
R: ''Why ?''
J: ''Cause I wanted to do something nice ?''
Lane snorted.
Lane: ''Yeah right.''
J: ''I'm guessing you're not buying it ?''
Lane: ''Not in a million years.''
J: ''Then why did you think I did it ?''
Lane shrugged.
Lane: ''You work at a diner, so I'm guessing that you're actually missing your job there.''
Lane smiled sweetly at Jess and then looked at Rory.
Lane: ''I'm going to the beach. See you there after breakfast ?''
Rory nodded.
R: ''Sure.''
Lane: ''Bye.''
Lane headed for the door and looked at Jess.
Lane: ''Maybe next time you could go crazy and make some scrambled eggs ?''
R: ''Lane........''
Lane: ''Bye.''
And with that Lane left. Rory looked at Jess again.
R: ''What she meant was, thanks for making breakfast and I really enjoyed it.''
J: ''Huh.''
Jess kept staring at her. It felt as if he was looking for something. Digging his way into her mind to see what she was thinking. Rory lowered her eyes and poured some cereal in a bowl, still feeling his eyes against her skin. When she was done, she met his gaze one more time and went into the living room.
When Jess joined her, she was curled up on the couch, balancing her bowl on her knees. His eyes almost immediately flew to her bare shoulder. The strap of her tan ktop had slid off. He sat down next to her. At first she didn't even notice. She was too busy playing with the cereal in her bowl. Finally her eyes caught a glimpse of a pair of red swimming trunks. She slowly brought her eyes up. She let them linger on his chest for a small second, glad that he at least was wearing a t-shirt today. Even though it was a tight t-shirt. One that showed off every muscle. Finally she brought her eyes up to his face.
R: ''Thanks for breakfast.''
Jess shrugged.
J: ''Who ever knew that working at a diner would actually pay off at one pathetic point in my life ?''
Rory smiled and shifted her gaze back to her cereal.
J: ''So...........how are things with Dean ?''
Rory let go of her spoon, causing it to hit the edge of the bowl with a loud ting. Her eyes flew up to meet Jess' gaze.
R: ''Perfect.''
Right after she had that, her eyes turned cold, cool with sadness. She lowered her eyes and got up from the couch.
R: ''I better go change.''
She headed for the kitchen, put her bowl on the counter and turned around. Jess was casually leaning against the doorframe, hands in his pockets.
J: ''Are you alright ?''
Rory nodded and moved closer towards him. She wanted to just walk past him, but she didn't. She stopped right in front of him, wanting to say something, but not really knowing exactly what. Suddenly Rory took another step towards him and carefully put her arms around his neck. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She just had the urge to hug him. Before Jess could even remove his hands from his pockets, Rory had already pulled back.
R: ''Sorry.''
She walked past him and disappeared into her room, not once looking at him.
Jess started to clean up, just to get his mind off of her, but he couldn't. He kept thinking about her arms around his neck and how she was clinging to him, like she cared about him. And maybe even loved him in some way........
