Chapter 4 - Unexpected Visits
Later that night Rory couldn't sleep. 'Why did I kiss Jess?' she thought. 'I'm engaged, I need to call mom.'
"Mom?"
"Rory? What are your doing its 3:00 in the morning here!" Lorelei yelled into the phone.
"Mom I kissed Jess!"
"What Rory your engaged!"
"I know what do I do?
"You have to figure out what you want, just like in the Jess, Dean situation."
"Ok"
"You really shouldn't keep you engagement from Jess."
"I know mom"
"Ok sweets I'm tired so call me later."
"Sure thanks mom bye"
"Bye"
**Later that morning**
Jess woke up on the couch with Rory leaning on him. There was a knock at the door so Jess started to get up as Rory woke up. He walked over to the door and slowly opened it with Rory slowly following wiping her eyes.
"Rory!" Chase yelled excitedly walking over to her and giving her a kiss.
"Chase what are you doing here?" Rory asked
"Well you said you were staying with your friend Jess and I wanted to see you so I asked Luke for the address and here I am." he replied turning around "Oh, you must Jess, I'm Chase Rory's fiancé."
"Oh……hi" Jess said
"Hey can I use your phone?"
"Yeah its in the kitchen." Jess replied. As Chase walked out of the room. "When were you going to tell me you were engaged? Before of after we kissed!?"
"Jess I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell you about Chase. And that kiss, I don't know what I was thinking, I should have know better." Rory replied.
"Yeah sure" Jess said walking towards the door. "The paper's on the counter, have fun looking for a place" he continued walking out the door, slamming it shut behind him.
"Rory what was that?" Chase asked walking into the room.
"Nothing… Jess just had somewhere to be" Rory replied, "Lets start looking for a place" She finished, trying to change the subject. She walked over to the coffee table, picking up the paper she noticed it was 8:30. "Never mind we'll do that later, I have to change for work, I can't be late for my first day." Rory yelled walking into the other room to change.
"Alright, should I just stay here?"
"Yeah you can, you don't have to though. I have to go I'll see you later." She said walking out the door.
'I wonder where Jess went' She thought walking down the street. 'I hope he's ok…… I knew I should have told him' She got to the office building and hesitated going in, she looked at her watch 'I still have twenty minutes' she thought looking around. 'I need coffee'. She walked in the direction of the bookstore.
"Can I help you?" the man behind the counter asked.
"Yeah, I'll have a large coffee to go." Rory replied.
A few seconds later Rory was heading out the door.
"Oh sorry." she said bumping into some one.
"Rory."
"Jess….." She said looking up. "I'm really sorry I didn't tell you, I just didn't know how."
"We went over this already, you should go your going to be late." Jess said sternly before walking away.
"Bye" Rory replied, even though she knew he couldn't hear her.
'I don't want to be mad at her but she doesn't understand how bad she hurt me'. Jess thought walking the rest of the way into the bookstore.
**Gilmore House later that day**
"Hello?" Lorelei said answering the phone.
"Mom it's me" Rory replied
"Oh hey sweets how are you?"
"Not so good, Chase showed up at Jess's and Jess blew up and yelled at me. I tried to explain it to him but he left." Rory said crying.
"Oh hunny it'll be ok."
"Mom, I don't want to loose Jess."
"I know babe. Things will work out eventually."
"I have go, Chase is calling me. Bye mom I love you"
"Bye sweets, I love you too."
