A/N- Thanks Reviewers!
Jess'sGirl - Yay! You reviewed again! Provided you're the same person as last time and if you're not, oops, oh well. Thanks so much for your review! Sorry about the cliffhangers but as I said to someone last chapter; the definition of a cliffhanger is what Emily enjoys putting on the end of every chapter of A Whole New Life Back In An Old Place so her readers keep reading! (or it was something like that).
Sarah-Angel1 - Well I hope you enjoy this chapter too, this chapter may be longer, I think. I wouldn't know 'cause I haven't written it yet (I'm a very spur of the moment person).
bluedancer - *pulls blanket off bluedancer* Don't worry, it won't be that bad (muhahaha! Don't worry; it'll get better eventually! I swear! [although this chapter isn't bad])
mocha-queen - It's not rude of you to say that, in fact that's the second comment I've gotten about that since I've started this story. I personally think that my writing is average for my age group and I have a friend who can write better than me. But thanks for your review! It was a great review that got me writing more.
Thena - YAY! YOU ACTUALLY DIDN'T MIND THAT IT WAS SHORT OR A CLIFFHANGER! I believe you may have just made my day!
God, I rambled more than usual didn't I? Sorry everyone, I'll shut up and start the story now.

Rory excused herself from talking to Sookie and Dana and walked over to Jess.
"Jess," she hissed. "To the bridge, I've got to talk to you."
"Why?" Jess asked.
"Just come."
***
At the bridge Rory started to pace. "Jess, he knows."
"What?" Jess asked.
"Matthew, he knows."
"Matthew knows that you're back?" Jess asked. "But how?"
"Did you see that man by the t-shirt stand?" Rory asked.
"But how...? It can't be him." Jess said.
"Yes it can. Matthew knows a lot of people, if he heard I was possibly back he knows I've had to tell everyone what happened and they'll be after him," Rory said. "Oh Jess, what am I going to do?"
Jess stopped her pacing and stared straight into her eyes. There was fear in the blue depths of her eyes and it was frantic. She was scared of Matthew; he had done enough to put this kind of fear in her. Jess had never seen her this scared before. She had always been happy and never scared. But then again, she didn't have any of this to deal with then.
"I told you Rory, I'll protect you," Jess said putting his arms around her.
"Thank you Jess," she whispered to him. "Thank you."
***
Jess walked Rory home in the darkness from the party. She had to go to work the next morning so she had asked Jess to walk her home, she didn't feel safe walking alone in the dark.
Once insider her apartment Rory changed into her pajamas in the bathroom while Jess sat in what would be her kitchen when she finally unpacked it all.
She emerged from the bathroom and Jess looked at her from the stool in the kitchen.
"Well I guess I'll be leaving now," Jess said. "Unless you need something."
"Jess," Rory said timidly. "Could you stay with me?"
"What?" Jess asked shocked.
"I don't want to do anything," Rory said. "It's just. Well. I'm scared. I don't want to stay alone."
Jess nodded. "I'll stay with you," he said.
Rory nodded and walked towards her room, looking behind her to make sure Jess was there. "I'd have you sleep on the couch if it wasn't covered with boxes," she motioned to the couch in her room covered in boxes labeled 'Bedroom' in her careful writing.
Jess nodded and slipped into bed on the opposite side of Rory. He looked over at her as they lay there.
She stared at ceiling shaking. "Rory?" he asked quietly.
"Yes?"
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes," she said. But the quaver in her voice suggested otherwise.
Jess moved over and put his arms around her. "Don't worry Rory, I said I'd protect you and I will."
Rory nodded and her breathing slowed until she fell into a deep sleep in Jess's arms.
Jess looked at her in his arms. This was the girl he loved.
The girl he was willing to risk his life for.
