Chapter 7: Treats Me Like Dirt
Rory and Dean never bumped into each other since that night. Rory felt guilty and tense around Jess, but as February came around, she didn't feel so guilty anymore. That kiss was just finishing what was unfinished business.
Also, that month, Dean approached Rory and asked if she wanted to be friends. Rory know that the kiss was definitely a thing in the past. Two weeks however, Lindsay started acting strange towards her. Rory didn't know why until she went to a hockey game and found Lindsay and Dean kissing. Rory and Jess went to a Distillers concert that night, but after she came home, all kinds of emotions ran through her head. She was happy that he had moved on, but upset that now she had lost him completely. She and Lindsay were still friends.
Three months later in May, there was a party. Jess and Rory had gone into the bathroom. Jess had found out that he wasn't graduating and was upset, but wouldn't tell Rory. When she tried to see what was wrong he tried to sleep with her, but she said no. He yelled at her basically saying that if she didn't want to, why did she come up in the first place? She started to cry and ran downstairs and ran into Dean and Lindsay. When Jess saw them talking he kicked Dean and a whole fistfight erupted.
Rory and Jess avoided each other for a week. That Sunday, Fran the bakery owner died.
"Rory," a voice called.
Dean was walking up to her.
"Hey," said Rory. "You look awfully happy for someone who's at a funeral."
"Well I am. I just asked Lindsay to marry me and she said yes. I'm getting married."
Rory was speechless. Dean was getting married? This couldn't be happening. It had to be a joke.
"Rory, aren't you going to say something?" Dean asked.
"Why?" Rory couldn't think of anything else to say.
"What?"
"Why now? What about college?"
"She's coming with me. I can't believe the way you're acting. Look, I'm sorry Jess treats you like dirt, but it was your choice."
"What? Jess doesn't treat me like dirt. I'm sorry. I'm just surprised. Really this is a good thing. Really."
"I know you're just saying that. Have a nice life."
Dean walked off.
"JESS DOES NOT TREAT ME LIKE DIRT!" she called after him.
She started walking home. Who am I kidding? She thought. Yes he does. There's cold hard evidence. I should have never broken up with Dean. Rory tried to go into Luke's to tell him it was over, but she didn't have enough will power. Maybe the next time I see him I'll do it, she thought, heading home.
Rory started watching TV when her mom came in.
"Hey," said Lorelai. "Why did you leave you miss a whole walk walking in Fran's speed."
"Ha, ha," said Rory, sullenly.
"What's wrong?" Lorelai asked, sitting down next to Rory.
"I'm breaking things off with Jess," Rory said.
"Why?" Lorelai asked. "Not that I've particularly liked him, but why?"
"I'm sick of what's going on," Rory said. "He tried to get me to sleep with him at Kyle's party and I said no and then he blew up at me. Well, I've had it. I'm sick of him treating me like shit."
"Whoa."
"What?"
"I have never heard you say 'shit' before."
"I'm that upset. I should have never broken up with Dean. It's too late to try to reconcile. He's getting married."
"He is?"
"Yup."
"Wow."
Rory got up. "I'm going to bed."
"You going to be okay?" Lorelai asked.
"Mmm-hmmm," Rory said.
The next day Rory decided that she was going to break up with him after school when she saw Jess on the back of the bus. He had a huge duffle. Rory went to sit back with him. Here goes nothing, she thought.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey," said Jess. "I'm sorry about-"
"It's okay," Rory cut him off.
What are you doing? A voice in her head screamed. You're supposed to break up with him. What the hell's the matter with you?
"I couldn't get tickets to the prom," Jess said. "I'm sorry.
"It's okay," Rory said. "I didn't really want to go. Here's my stop."
The bus stopped.
"You'll call me?" Rory said.
"Yeah," said Jess. "I'll call you."
Nice going, Rory thought. You had the perfect moment, but you had to let it go with small talk. You know he's not going to call you.

A/N: In one of my favorite stories, one of the reviews said that in the episode where Dean and Jess got in a fistfight, it started when Jess kicked Dean so I tried to acknowledge that fact. I tried to add a few parts of my own to make this story a little more original. Chapter 8 is coming up soon. Oh, yeah. Saddam Hussein was captured. YAY! I think they should kill him because someone could free him, but that's my opinion. Okay, getting off topic. I hope you like this chapter.
