Chapter Four: And My Fate Is…

Okay, I'm heading towards the door. I still have no idea who's standing there, and I'm freaking out.

"Who is it?" I jumped.

"Mom! I don't know." I told her.

We both slowly walked towards the door, and I sighed when I saw the figure standing there.

Dean.

"Rory, hi." Dean said, hugging me. Mom rolled her eyes and went back to the couch. "You took forever opening the door."

"Yeah, well…" I said.

"So, lunch?" he asked.

"Oh, Dean. I've got a ton of studying to do. I'm so sorry." Sorry my ass! Dean's my fate? My husband? The father of my children? What kind of world are we living in? A stupid world, that's what.

"Studying I'll bet." Dean said, eyeing the pile of Cosmopolitan magazine.

"Yeah, the life and times of Cosmo, it's really…poetic." I said.

"Rory, you don't want to hang out with me." He said.

"Yes, I do!" Total lie. Complete lie. "Wait – was the late night movie last night?"

"The Claw Part 2 & 3." He replied.

"Sorry, Mom's calling me." I said, quickly.

"Rory, no one's calling -," I slammed the door in his face, and leaned against it, breathing heavily.

"So, that's your fate, huh?" Mom asked from the living room.

I banged my head against the door in reply.

***

I decided to for a walk. The fresh air, the homey feeling, oh, forget it, I'm just trying to avoid Dean. And I know exactly where to go.

Luke's. Dean doesn't particularly like Luke, and Luke doesn't particularly like Dean. Dean hates Jess, Jess hates Dean. Perfect solution.

"Hi, Jess." I said, happily.

"Hey," he replied.

I looked at what he was doing. He was going through the cash register.

"Counting or stealing?" I asked.

"Counting." He replied. "But here's a nice hundred dollar bill. Do you want it?"

"Uh………..no." I replied.

"Your choice." He shrugged.

"Where's Luke?"

"Here's coffee." He handed me a cup.

"Oh, thanks." I had to ask. "So, how are you and Shane?"

"Actually, we broke up." He said.

"Oh." I said, quietly.

"I know you had something to do with it." My head shot up. How did he know?

"What?" I asked, nervously.

"You told Shane I loved her. I know you had something to do with it. Now, why would you do that, Rory?" he asked, moving around the counter so he was standing right in front of me.

"Uh, well…" I said nervously. "You know it was just one of those things."

"Rory?" he raised his eyebrows.

"I like you, okay! And I was jealous of Shane, so I lied, and I knew she'd freak out and break up with you, so that's why I told her." I sighed, and looked up at him. He didn't say anything. Oh, boy.

"I better go, goodbye Jess." I said, quietly before slowly walking towards the door.

Who's the idiot? Why you are Rory.

Reading in my bedroom. Reading Cosmo in my bedroom. Feeling like a big doof in my bedroom.

Why did I tell him that? Why couldn't have just lied? He probably hates me now. Ugh, I'm such a loser. I hate myself for doing that, I'm such a dork.

Wait – if I'm such a dork. Then why is someone knocking on my window? If I'm a loser, then why does that figure appear to be Jess? He looks at me and grins, motioning for me to open the window.

Ah, window, door same thing.
