Summary: Rory comes back from Washington to some different surprises.
*AN: For all you who asked, Rory ran away because she had to think about Jess and how she could handle things. She needed time to herself. But so far I like this story and I'll continue, thanks for the reviews! (
Once Rory got home she walked into her room and laid on her bed. She felt horrible, yet relieved. Now she didn't have to worry about Dean. Even though she was sad, she kept thinking about Jess. She heard the door open and she figured it was Lorelai.
"Rory?" Lorelai asked as she walked into Rory's room.
"I'm fine. We just broke up." Rory said in a low voice.
"Well you don't seem fine. Do you want me to order a pizza or maybe go and get some ice cream, do some wallowing?" Lorelai suggested.
"No, I actually was thinking of going to the diner and seeing if Jess wanted to do something."
"Rory, you just broke up with Dean and you run straight to Jess."
"No, he asked me to hang out and I said I had to do something with you and Dean, but that didn't happen, so it would be rude for me to not hang out with him when I am capable of doing so." Rory explained.
"Wow, you sound like my mother."
"Thanks. I'll be back later. I just need to talk to Jess and figure some things out." Rory said getting off her bed.
"Fine. I give. I'll see you later hun." Lorelai said, receiving a kiss on the forehead.
"Bye mom, you'll be fine." Rory walked out of the house and to Luke's.
Luke's Diner
Rory walked in and the place was pretty empty. She was looking for Jess but didn't see him. She sat down on one of the stools at the counter. All she did was stare at the stairs leading to Jess's apartment.
"Rory?" Luke walked up to see she was just staring at the stairs.
"Rory?"
Rory still didn't answer, she was still had her eyes fixed on the stairs. Luke walked behind the counter.
"You know their stairs. You walk up and down them to get from one floor to another." Luke explained, but Rory still didn't move.
"Alright, I can't take this anymore. Rory!" Luke screamed.
"Huh?" Rory finally answered.
Luke just stared and shook his head at her in amazement. "Coffee?"
"Yeah, that'd be great."
Luke poured her a cup of coffee and she drank ½ of it in one gulp. "More?"
"Sure." Rory put on a huge smile and drank it. A couple of hours went by and Rory just sat there, staring at the stairs. She had 2 pieces of pie and more coffee. Why wasn't Jess coming down?
"Uh, Luke, what time is it?"
Luke glanced at his watch. "Uh, 7:30."
"Oh."
"Are you waiting for Jess?"
"How'd you know?"
"Wild guess."
"Huh." Rory said in the words of Jess.
"He should be coming down soon, Rory. Trust me."
About two minutes later Jess walked down those stairs. Rory sat up, trying to hide her excitement.
"Hey." Jess said to Rory.
"Hey. Where have you been all day?" Rory asked.
"Upstairs. Have you been waiting all day? Because you could have came up."
"It would have felt weird."
"Well, I'm free now, do you wanna hang out?"
"Uh, sure."
"Do you want some coffee before we leave?"
"NO!" Luke answered for her, which made Rory blush.
"I'm not going to even ask. Let's go." Jess grabbed Rory's hand as they walked out of the diner.
They were walking when they both realized they were holding hands.
"Oh sorry." Jess panicked.
"Sorry." Rory said back.
"If Dean saw he would have freaked out, right?" Jess asked Rory, who seemed to cringe at the name.
"Um, no not really. He would be a little crushed but not really."
"Why wouldn't he care? He hates me. And he hates when you're with me." Jess breathed out.
"Well, we aren't together anymore." Rory said simply.
Jess was so overjoyed. "Did she break it off because of me?" Jess thought.
"Ah. Wouldn't have guessed." Jess answered coolly.
"Well, we aren't." Rory smiled and put a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at Jess.
"Sorry, about that..kind of a shock."
"Not really. I just didn't really feel for him the same way anymore."
"Huh."
"Huh?"
"Yeah.." Jess raised his eyebrows.
"Why do you do that?" Rory asked him.
"Do what?" Jess acted clueless.
Rory was amazed. "Never mind!" Rory gave in.
They walked a bit until Rory looked up at Jess to see him smiling.
"Why do you do it?" Rory practically screamed.
"Ah, had a second wind?" Jess asked amused.
"No, I just see you, amused by my thoughts and it's annoying." Rory said exasperated.
"Sorry about that." Jess smiled.
"It's ok. But really, why do you do it."
"It's a quicker way than to say 'really' or 'wow'." Jess laughed.
"That's the quick man's way." Rory laughed back.
They laughed for a couple of seconds more, just enjoying each others company.
"So, where to?" Jess asked, noticing they were walking around aimlessly.
"I don't know. Luke's?" Rory suggested.
Jess looked at her confused. "Are you serious?
"Um, yeah, I had some serious going there."
"No, no, I mean, we just walked around for about 10 minutes aimlessly and now your telling me you want to go back to where we started, am I right?"
"Yeah, basically. The walk was to just enjoy talking to each other and because I sat on a stool for three hours, my butt hurts." Rory laughed.
Jess laughed back.
"Alright, let's go back to Luke's." Jess sighed.
"Don't sigh! I'm a fun person! I'll tell ya what, we can play bagel hockey!" Rory said excitedly jumping up and down.
"Bagel Hockey?" Jess repeated.
"Yeah, you can fill in for shmitty." Rory laughed.
"Shmitty?" Jess repeated again.
"What, are you going to repeat everything I say?"
"I was actually thinking about it." Jess said sarcastically.
"Well no would be a smart decision." Rory informed him.
"Thanks for the tip."
"No problem." Rory smiled. "Let's Go!" She ran towards the diner as Jess just stood in the middle of the street, happily watching Rory run to the diner. She then stopped and looked back at him.
"Come on!" Rory screamed at him.
Jess laughed a little and ran toward her. Rory grabbed his hand and they both walked into the diner.
