Chapter 4: That's Chicago
Rory and Jess had been on the road since the middle of the night. Now it was nine in the morning. Rory knew that her mom was probably worried sick, but she knew that being with Jess was what she wanted in her heart.
Rory had decided to let Jess sleep, because she didn't know how much sleep he had gotten over the past few days. He had slept for the past five hours and Rory was hungry, so she stopped at a small cafe in a small town.
Jess woke up and realized that it was morning, and they were stopped.
"Morning sleepy head," Rory said with a smile on her face.
"Huh," Jess said still a little out of it, "Where are we?"
"Um..." Rory thought, "A town on the outskirts of Illinois."
"Wow, you made great time," Jess replied.
Jess rubbed his eyes to get the sleep out of them. He ran is hands through his dark, wavy hair and noticed the cafe. He had never seen a girl eat as much as she did.
"Let's get something to eat, I'm starving," Rory said, as if she was reading his thoughts.
"Yeah, me too," he agreed.
They walked into the quaint restaurant and sat down at a small table for two. The place looked like a little French cafe. The walls were painted a warm yellow, and there were huge windows facing the street. In the back there were several couches and chairs with pillows on them. Rory couldn't help but think what a great place to come to read. A waitress came over and took their order. When she left they sat in a comfortable silence.
Rory noticed that the bruises on Jess' face had already started to fade. Another pesky thought popped up about what happened to Jess. She still had an urge to ask him, but she decided to keep her mouth shut.
Jess knew he had to tell Rory before they got to Chicago. He could see the yearning to know in her eyes. Jess knew how lucky he was to have her, and he owed the truth to her.
"I'm ready to tell you," Jess simply said.
Rory knew immediately what he was talking about.
"Okay," she replied.
Jess took a deep breath and told her his story, "well, after I left Stars Hollow I headed for California. I ran out of money before Illinois, and I hitch hiked to Chicago. I got a job at a nightclub where I was a bartender. I worked there for a couple of days and got enough money to make it to California. I didn't tell my boss it was a short-term deal when he hired me, and he wasn't pleased when I told him I had to quit. They beat me up pretty bad."
Rory just sat there in silence. She couldn't believe someone could be so cruel. She reached out and took Jess' hand. She still had questions, though.
"Why do you have to go back to Chicago?" she inquired.
Jess looked around and answered her in a low voice, "When you piss someone off there; they send someone to "finish the job." That's Chicago."
Jess watched as all the color drained from Rory's face.
"Wha... What do you mean following us?" Rory asked in a fearful voice.
"Don't be scared, sweetie," Jess comforted her, "I won't let them hurt you."
Rory just nodded her head, because she knew he was telling her the truth. As long as Jess was with her, everything would be okay.
The waitress brought their food and they ate the rest of the meal in silence. Jess paid for their breakfast and then he opened the door for Rory and they left. Jess got in on the driver's side to give Rory some time to sleep.
Rory curled up in the passenger seat and finally fell into a restless sleep. Jess drove the car for another two hours until they reached Chicago. Rory opened her eyes to a huge city full of different types of people. She saw that some people didn't look too friendly, and she finally got what Jess meant.
"So, That's Chicago," she stated.
