A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to get this chapter up but I was working on my other story Unkept Promise. And for those of you who read that one, the next chapter should be up sometime this week! So watch for it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the next few weeks, Dean and Rory hung out more and more and Jess and Rory hung out less and less. In fact, Rory hadn't seen Jess in a couple of weeks. One day, she and Dean were sitting in the diner and she finally saw him. He sat at the counter reading....just like nothing had happened. "Rory....Hello??" Dean snapped his fingers in front of Rory's face.
"Huh?" She looked at Dean, who had an expectant look on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry. I just kind of spaced out for a second, I guess." She took one more look at Jess and then her attention went back to Dean. She liked Dean, and she didn't think he was such a creep anymore. He was sweet and he really liked her.
Dean looked at what Rory had been looking at. "Jess." He muttered under his breath. "You know, he hasn't been hanging out with my old friends anymore." *his OLD friends....what's that suppose to mean?* she thought. "I still talk to them occasionally at school...ever since we started dating, I haven't hung out with them very much."
"Dean, you don't have stop having friends just because you have a girlfriend, ya know." He nodded. He really had stopped hanging out with them because he thought Jess would be there and if Rory was to hang out with them....he always thought something was going on between them. Rory staring at Jess today made his suspicions grow even more. "Dean?"
"Oh umm yeah. I know. Looks like we're both spacing out today...must be something in the room, huh?" She looked down uncomfortably as he stared at her, burrowing holes in her head. She finally looked up and smiled a small smile.
"Yeah, something in the air or....something."
"Hey, you wanna go see a movie? Lord of the Rings is playing again!" She smiled at him sweetly, but inside she was frowning. She loved Lord of the Rings but seeing it everyday this week was a little much for her.
"Uh yeah sure." The two got up and headed out the door when a blond-headed girl burst through the door and ran past them, over to Jess. She practically knocked Rory down, but Dean caught her. The girl's lips locked with Jess' immediately and the two were all of a sudden in a heated make- out session. Rory looked at Jess, disgusted. Dean looked at Rory, suspiciously. That was the same girl Jess had been talking with the other day when he and Rory had had that horrible fight that quite possibly ruined their friendship forever.
"Come on, Rory. Let's go." He said, his teeth clenched. He opened the door and walked out. Rory walked out and before closing the door, she took one last look at Jess and the girl. Sighing, she closed the door and took Dean's hand that was stuck out for her to take. "So, you ready for LORD OF THE RINGS?" He asked in a deep dramatic voice as he put his arm around her and pulled her into him.
"Bring on the hobbits." She said sarcastically, but he took it as a serious comment.
"Yeah, and the Elves!" She inwardly rolled her eyes. She really liked him, but sometimes, he really got on her nerves.
**********LATER THAT DAY
"Jess, why don't you two do that somewhere else?" Luke asked as his nephew pulled out of a passionate kiss with a blond-headed girl.
"No." Jess rolled his eyes. "she's gotta go anyways. Bye." She kissed him again and he responded forcefully.
"Ah, jeez." They continued and Luke sighed. "All right, knock it off!" He pulled Jess out of the girl's reach and pushed him towards the stairs. "Say goodbye."
"Bye." The girl bounced out the door.
"Jess....from now on, could you two refrain from doing that in front of the whole town?" Luke asked.
"Nope. It's a natural thing, Luke."
"Don't even, Jess." Jess picked up a rag and started wiping off the counter.
"No, seriously Luke. I mean, have you ever been to New York? It's like...ten times worse! People makin out everywhere and some are even-"
"Jess!" Jess smiled and let out a chuckle.
"You wouldn't survive."
"Well, dear nephew of mine, I'm not moving to New York. Not now. Not ever. No need to worry."
"You only stay for her." Jess muttered under his breath before smirking his usual smirk because he knew Luke had heard him.
"Ok that's it. Get upstairs! NOW!" Luke grabbed the back of Jess' shirt and shoved him up the stairs. Jess fumbled into the apartment thanks to a light shove from Luke. Luke followed his nephew into the apartment and slammed the door. "Ya know, Jess. I'm a little sick and tired of you constantly making little side comments on my life! You are constantly being a sarcastic jerk! No wonder you don't have any friends! No wonder the only girl you can get is some slutty blond who hangs all over you all day kissing and pecking and touching-"
"Ok, Luke! Jeez!!! And you know what? I CHOSE not to have friends! And the 'slutty blond' is not the only girl that I can get! It's just a passing thing! I don't even know her first name!" Luke forgot about the comment earlier and focused on Jess and this blond.
"What do you mean you don't even know her first name?" He asked.
"I mean that all we do is hang out. She doesn't know my name either. I don't even care about her and I'm pretty sure she only cares about me for one thing." He winked. "It's a pretty symbiotic relationship." He walked over to the bookshelf and searched for a book while his uncle continued babbling.
"Jess! You can't treat a girl like this! It's so wrong!"
"I needed someone to get my mind off...things." He said, rubbing his wrist absent-mindedly and started thinking about Rory...
"Jess, don't you think you could find ONE girl that you actually care about...that cares about you for more than...just ONE thing?" Jess turned around and got right in Luke's face.
"Look, the girl I like hates me!" He yelled.
"So you just gave up! Just like that!?!" Jess looked down at his shoes and then turned back around to look for a book. "I thought you would have fought harder. I thought you were a tough guy!"
"Luke, just shut up ok? I don't need a lecture. And unlike some people, I'm not gonna just sit around and wait for her to fall into my arms!-"
"Hey! Don't you dare bring me into this! We're talkin about you!"
"Well let's just say you're not the best example, now are you, Uncle Luke?"
"Example? Of what!?"
"Of not going and telling Lorelai that you're madly in love with her!" Luke glared at Jess and then ran at him and threw him on the ground.
Lorelai and Rory had been downstairs at the time and heard the loud crash and the major amounts of yelling and raced upstairs. The door flew open and Luke was about to kick Jess. Lorelai ran over and pulled Luke away from him and Rory went to help Jess up, but he pulled away. Either he was angry at her...or he was still angry from his fight with Luke. She hoped it was the latter. He stood up and glared at Luke. "What's wrong with you!"
"Yeah, Luke what is wrong with you?" Asked Lorelai, very curious as to why these two boys were fighting. Luke looked at her and then back at Jess.
"Nothing."
"Well ok then. Come on Rory." The two girls walked downstairs. Jess coward a little. Even though he wasn't exactly on best terms with Rory, he knew that Luke would never hit him while she was in there. Luke started towards Jess again.
"Luke...." Jess warned.
"I'm not gonna do anything to you. Listen, sorry about that. I don't know what got into me. You really get on my nerves sometimes, Jess." Luke admitted. Jess smirked.
"I know." He said proudly. "But...I'm uh..sorry...for saying that."
"Yeah, you shouldn't be one to talk." Jess' head snapped upward.
"Luke!"
"Sorry...we won't get into that again. I'm gonna go back downstairs. I'll see ya later." The two boys understood each other more than they thought they did.
"Sure..." Luke couldn't believe he dove at Jess like that...*I'm an idiot!* he yelled at himself. He couldn't believe he almost HIT his nephew! No matter how annoying he was, he shouldn't have done that. He hoped that, that didn't make Jess think that he hated him. That's not what he needed. When Luke got downstairs, many watchful eyes were upon him which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Hey, Luke?" Came a sweet voice. His eyes went over to Rory who was sitting on a stool with just as much curiosity in her eyes as the rest of the crowd. "Can I....." She paused and looked into his expectant eyes. "Have some more coffee." She finished, kicking herself for not asking if she could go and see Jess.
"Rory!" She turned around and saw Dean walking towards her. *what's he doing here? We were togther like three hours ago!* she thought. He came over and kissed her and it was just her luck that Jess came down at the same time and saw them. He sighed and went in the back.
"Dean, what are you doing here?" She asked sweetly, but very annoyed.
"I came to see if you wanted to go have dinner." He smiled, hopefully. Rory looked over at her mother who busy drinking her coffee, but obviously listening in.
"Oh..uhh I promised uhh...my mom that I would have a movie night with her tonight." She lied and Lorelai looked at her daughter in shock.
"Oh...what if I hung out with you guys?" Ok, this was just downright smothering!
"Dean...it was kind of just a mother-daughter thing. Sorry." She smiled as he frowned a little.
"Oh..ok, then I'll see you later." He walked out the door. Lorelai looked at Rory and smirked a little.
"So what movie are we watching? I'm a little unprepared."
"Mom...." Rory warned as she playfully hit her mother on the shoulder. The two started laughing.
"Lover boy a little too 'we have to hang out all the time'-y? Jess was pouring Lorelai a cup and heard this. Dean worried him a little. He seemed kind of obsessive and possessive. But what could he do about that now? He couldn't say that to Rory. She already hated him....at least it seemed that way to him.
