"Well I guess that's everything."
"Yeah."
"Jess you sure you don't wanna stay...I mean maybe it will all...blow...over..." He didn't even believe this himself so how could he expect Jess too. Luke had called the bus station and ordered a 5:30 a.m. ticket for Jess so he wouldn't have to deal with Lorelai and Rory and the rest of the town. They began to walk down the stairs. "I'll send the rest of your stuff in a week or so....." Jess nodded as they reached the bus stop. "Well here we are." Jess sat down on the bench and Luke followed suite.
"You don't have to wait."
"I know...but I want to." Jess looked for the sincerity in Luke's eyes, found it, and then looked away.
"Thanks."
"Yeah." While they were waiting for the bus Luke saw Jess pull out a cigarette and begin to smoke it. "You really shouldn't do that." He said pointing to the cancer hazard sticking out of his nephew's mouth. (A/N: no offense to smokers out there, it's just my oppinion, you can do whatever you want)
"I only do it on 'special' occasions." He paused... "Don't worry about me anyways. I can take care of myself." That was the most he had spoken since the night before. The bus finally appeared and Jess stood up and gathered his stuff.
"Well Jess...it's gonna be a definite change around here without you that's for sure."
"Yeah a change for the better." Luke looked at him sympethetically. Everywhere this kid went...he wasn't wanted.
"Jess thanks for helping me out in the diner and stuff. I just wanted to give you something before you left to help you out." He handed him an envelope and Jess opened it.
"$250? Why?"
"I don't know....I just....you did help me alot....with other things than the diner...and I think that you deserve it....I should have given it to you sooner." Jess was shocked. He all of a sudden had some weird outburst of emotion and put all his bags down and -get ready for it-wait for it wait for it.........(suspense)........he hugged Luke. HUGGED. Like a genuine hug.
"Thanks Luke. For everything." He realized what he was doing and he backed away. "I'll call you when I get there."
"Ok."
"Bye Luke. And don't worry about me ok?"
"Ok Jess...bye." At that, Jess got onto the bus and left. "Looks like you got your wish, Stars Hollow." He ran his hands through his hair and walked back to the diner and got ready to open up.
9:00 A.M.
Lorelai and Rory had already heard about Jess leaving while they were on their way to Luke's. Well Rory was on her way to Luke's and then after Lorelai heard about Jess was when she decided to join Rory. Lorelai decided that she would apologize to Luke since Jess was gone and everything seeing as how HE was the problem...in Lorelai's eyes anyway. "Hey Lukey!" Luke was not about to deal with Lorelai of all people so he decided that he would go upstairs and start to pack some of Jess's things until the Gilmore Girls were gone....well at least Lorelai.....
"Ceasar! I'm goin upstairs! Cover for me!" Lorelai figured that he was still mad at her so she went up to talk to him. She went up the stairs and knocked on the door. There was no answer just some loud banging and such so she just walked on in.
"Luke?"
"What!" He was a little upset because some of Jess's books had fallen on top of him. Then he saw Lorelai standing in his doorway. "Oh. What do you want?" He sounded a little annoyed with her and she hadn't even spoke anything yet....
"Luke..." This was harder than she thought it would be. Maybe it was because he seemed so angry. He started to advance towards her to where they were face to face. "I just wanted to apologize for the way I yelled at you last night...it was just a bad night and now since-"
"What?! Now since you got your way?!!! Now that Jess is GONE! YEAH LORELAI THAT'S A GREAT APOLOGY! YA KNOW WHAT! JUST SO YOU KNOW, JESS WAS ACTUALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!! IT'S NOT LIKE HE DID IT ON PURPOSE!! AND GUESS WHAT LORELAI! HE WENT BACK TO HIS MOTHER!!! THE WOMAN WHO HAD THE NERVE TO SEND HIM HERE! TO STARS HOLLOW BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM!!! AND NOW BECAUSE YOU, YES YOU-MADE HIM LEAVE, NOW HE HAS TO GO BACK TO THAT....TO THAT WOMAN! NOW HE FEELS LIKE NOBODY WANTS HIM LORELAI! Ya know of all people I thought YOU would understand how he felt. His parents leaving him and then everybody thinking he's a total screw up never giving him a second chance! You know what! Just forget it Lorelai! It's not like you even care! Last night it was so sad to hear him say to me that he wanted to be sent to his home in New York! KNOWING what he would have to go back to! I thought that you actually cared a little Lorelai! But I guess I was wrong!" Lorelai stood gaping at him. He had just told her off. She hadn't even realized what this kid was going through...and Luke was right...frankly she didn't care. But she did feel bad for the kid in some aspects....
"Luke I'm-"
"Stay away from me! Stay away from me and don't you ever talk to me again! GOT IT! If you weren't Rory's mother I would kill you right now for making Jess leave which leaves me alone as well as it leaves him alone! I would kill you in cold blood and I would NEVER EVER regret it! Now leave my diner and don't you dare set a foot back in here again! NOW LEAVE!" Lorelai stood there stunned that he said he would kill her....she began to cry and ran out the door and left the diner pulling Rory with her. Luke didn't regret anything that he had said to Lorelai except maybe the killing part...because it was all true. And she needed to hear it. Obviously.
"Mom...mom what's the matter."
"UGH!"
"What? Did he not except your apology?"
"NO! HE DIDN'T!"
"Why not?"
"I don't know! He just started rambling on how I made Jess leave and go back to his mother and how it left him alone as well as it left Jess alone and then how I should understand about how terrible parents can be and-"
"Mom..." Rory had stopped walking.
"What?" Lorelai looked at her daughter's hurt face.
"You made Jess leave?"
"Well..I....I didn't MAKE him leave....i just told him....never to touch you or talk to either of us again..." She tried to sound innocent....but she didn't succeed...
"MOM! HOW COULD YOU!!!!!"
"What do you mean?"
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! He was sooo sorry for what he did but he was afraid to face YOU that's why he left the hospital! And I told him drive!!! IT WASN'T HIS FAULT! YOU WERE JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO KICK HIM OUT OF TOWN!"
"Look what he's done to us Rory! He's torn us apart!"
"NO MOM! YOU'VE torn us apart! You never believed me when I told you that he wasn't THAT bad of a guy! I told you that he had a bad time in New York and that nobody cared about him except for Luke and me! I TOLD YOU THAT! LUKE WAS RIGHT! YOU DON'T GET IT!" Rory ran away from her mother and ran to her house and straight into her room. Lorelai followed after about 2 hours.
Lorelai was somewhat afraid to enter Rory's room but she did it anyway. "Hey Mini-Me..."
"What do you want?"
"I wanted to apologize....i did a lot of thinking...and you're right....you and Luke are right. I was too harsh with him. Please forgive me."
"Mom...it's ok....I'm sorry too....but...you do understand that Jess didn't mean to right?"
"Yeah...I think I am starting to understand him a little more now that I thought about....everything...."
"I love you mom." She embraced her mother.
"I love you too sweetie...now. Let's get you ready."
" for what?"
"To go to New York."
"What? Why?"
"To get Jess."
A/N: Yeah I know Luke and Lorelai was out of character....sorry...please review!
"Yeah."
"Jess you sure you don't wanna stay...I mean maybe it will all...blow...over..." He didn't even believe this himself so how could he expect Jess too.
