Thank you
Renee: I'm glad you liked my other story and decided to read this one too. And as for the trory part, it's a long process so I hope you can hold in there.
I'm not exactly getting many reviews on this fic, I'm thinking about not posting any more. Does anybody think i should continue? Even if it's just one person I'll try to continue, I mean, why not? I've already got a lot more written any way right?
The next morning Rory woke up to her alarm but she gladly got up and went out to the kitchen,
"Morning, hunny" lorelai groaned,
Then noticing how happy Rory looked, added "Woah, what's with the happiness, it's way too early in the morning, it's not normal"
Rory just rolled her eyes at her mom and said
"Come on, lets go, I wanna get to Lukes early"
"Oh, I get it, you want to spend some extra time with your boyfriend, ok well let's go, I need my coffee anyway".
They both walked out the door and towards Luke's.
Once they got to the diner lorelai went straight over to the counter and sat down while Rory looked around for jess.
"What's Rory looking for, she looks like she's lost"
Luke said to lorelai who turned to look at her daughter and then back at Luke,
"Oh, she's looking for her boyfriend"
"Oh, but I thought her and dean broke up a while ago" Luke responded.
Lorelai gave him an amused look and answered "they did"
Luke looked at her confused "she has a new boyfriend"
And as if on cue, Jess came down the stairs and walked straight over to Rory who led him to a table. Luke stared at the sight he saw and then looked at Lorelai like he was totally lost, Lorelai, who noticed the time quickly said
"They're together now, I'll explain later but right now we all have to go"
And with that she went over to Rory, said something to her and they all walked out and went their own ways. Leaving Luke standing there as if in a trance.
Rory walked into school and over to her locker just to find Tristan leaning against it. She walked over to him and sighed
"Excuse me Tristan, but may I get into my locker?"
Tristan put on his famous smirk while moving over just enough for her to get into her locker
"Well hello there Mary, you look officially happy today"
Rory had opened her locker and started getting her books out for her first class
"Well I am and not even you can spoil it today"
With that she shut her locker and started walking towards her first period but Tristan followed
"Wow, it must be something really good, what is it that put you in such a good mood not even I could spoil it?"
Rory walked into the classroom and toke her seat with Tristan sitting in the one right beside her to hear the story.
"Well not that it's any of your business but I have a boyfriend"
Tristan looked at her a little confused "huh, I thought you and bag boy where over?"
"We are...he's not my boyfriend" now Tristan was even more lost
"So there's a new guy then?" He asked hoping the answer was no,
"Yup" she answered right before the teacher walked in
"Ok class, settle down now it's time to start".
Throughout the whole day Tristan kept watching Rory and thinking that this made things a lot more complicated, at least with bag boy he knew he had a chance.
Meanwhile at Stars Hollow High Jess was walking from his last period class when Dean approached him
"So, I heard you and Rory are going out, is it true?"
Jess just looked at Dean and then walked right past him but Dean followed.
"Hey, I asked you a question" Jess stopped and faced Dean
"Yup me and Rory are going out" and then quickly added
"You had your chance and you blew it".
Now Dean looked like he was going to explode
"You better stay away from her, your no good and if you hurt her I'll kill you"
Jess just kept looking at Dean "Now ya see, the thing is, you're the one who hurt Rory"
And he paused to see how Dean would react but didn't expect what he saw, he saw hurt but only for a moment then anger came back full force. Jess couldn't help but keep going
"Oh yeah and as for the staying away from Rory . . . I think that might be a little hard considering I'm her boyfriend and that just isn't what boyfriends do".
That did it, it was the last straw, Dean swung at Jess and hit him right in the eye but Jess fought right back. By the time the teachers got out there it was getting really, really bad. As soon as the teachers got there, they pulled the two apart and it took two teachers a piece to restrain them.
The teachers started dragging the two into the office and lane, who had seen and heard the whole thing, decided to follow. once they got in there the principle, Mr. Smith, looked at them both
"What happened?"
He asked very sternly, the two just glared at each other so Mr. Smith tried again
"Who threw the first punch?" and as he said this he looks directly at Jess.
Jess stared back at Mr. Smith and finally said
"Well don't look at me" in a very harsh tone
But he wasn't convinced. Mr. Smith was telling them both their punishments, Jess was suspended for a week and had detention for five weeks said s while Dean was only suspended for two days and had two weeks detention, when there was a knock at the door, all three looked at it.
"Come in" Mr. Smith said.
Lane slowly opened the door and walked in, Dean and Jess both staring at her very confused, Mr. Smith looked at her
"Oh, Lane, hello there, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lane looked over at dean and then Jess
"Ummm, yes sir there is but may I speak to you in private?".
He looked at her and then the two boys
"Certainly, you two may go now." He said,
But Lane responded quickly "Actually sir, I think they should stay on the grounds until we're done."
Lane said it a little shyly since she had never really talked to the principle about these kinds of things. Mr. Smith gave her a confused glance and then turned to the boys
"Well then, why don't you both wait right outside" they both nodded and walked out.
Lane then started to explain what she saw and heard hoping that it would help out. Mr. Smith just looked at her disbelievingly but he knew that he could trust her so he thought about it and then turned to her
"You may go now Lane, and thank you for taking time to explain what happened"
Lane nodded "Anything so that no one gets accused for something they didn't do."
"Oh yes, and Lane, would you tell the boys to come back in now?"
Lane just nodded and walked out. When she got out there she looked at them
"You guys can go back in now"
Then she turned to Jess and whispered "He knows what really happened" then walked away.
As soon as Rory got home she went straight to her room and put her things down and got changed, then she ran down to the diner to see Jess.
When she got there she walked over to Luke,
"Hey Luke, has Jess gotten back from school yet?" she asked
"No he hasn't.......but um...Rory..?".
Rory just looked at him a little confused "yeah, Luke?"
"Well..um...are you and Jess going out?"
Rory laughed and looked at him and saw that he was serious,
"Yeah, Luke, we've been going out for almost three weeks now, he's my boyfriend".
Luke looked at her in disbelief and Rory laughed again but stopped as soon as she saw Luke look over at the door and the look he had on his face so she turned. She gasped when she saw Jess and how beat up he was, she ran over to him.
"Oh my god, Jess, what happened? Are you ok? Can I get you something?"
The questions just kept coming out but Jess cut her off
He looked down at her and smiled, "I'm fine Rory, it was just a little fight and all I need is for you to loosen your grip so I can breath."
She looked up and loosened her grip a little but not much. Luke now rushed over and looked at Jess seeing how bad he was hurt.
"Jess, that wasn't just a little fight"
Rory started up again, when he didn't say anything she asked another question
"Jess, who was the fight with?" He just looked at her not wanting to say anything.
It was silent in the diner, everyone staring at jess, partly because he was hurt but also because not many people knew him and Rory were together, and this was stars hollow, the gossip mill had missed some very big news. After a few minutes of the silence Rory tried again
"Jess, who was the fight with?"
This time she had anger in her voice and right then Dean walked in. Everyone looked at him and saw he was badly beat up too, so people looked from him to Jess.
Rory looked at Dean and then back at Jess
"Was the fight between you two?" She asked,
Neither answered so she stared at Jess "Jess, was the fight between you and Dean?"
Now Rory was really angry. Jess gave her a look that she thought meant yes so she looked at Dean
"Dean, did you get in a fight with Jess?"
She asked so sternly that it scared some of the people in the diner. Dean looked at her and then nodded putting his head down, Rory looked between them and then asked Jess, very quietly
"Who started the fight?"
And he responded so quietly she almost didn't hear him say "Dean"
When Rory heard this she grabbed Jess's arm and started walking him towards the stairs but right before they went behind the curtain Rory turned to see Dean watching her and said very stern and angrily
"Get out of here"
And then turned and started walking up the stairs again without caring that everyone in the diner was now staring at her and Jess as they ascended the stairs. Once they were up though, everyone turned and looked at Dean who glancedaround and then walked out.
Once Rory got Jess upstairs she told him to go sit on his bed and went to look for bandages and medicine, she finally found some and went over to Jess who was sitting there in shock, still trying to grasp the scene that just happened, had Rory just defended him and believed him with no questions asked? He then thought 'I have a great girlfriend'.
While he was thinking, Rory sat down next to him and started bandaging him up, then she looked at him and asked
"What was the fight about, Jess? Why did Dean hit you?"
Jess looked at her and said very softly "You"
Rory stopped bandaging and stared at him
"Why was the fight about me?"
Jess looked at her "Why do you think, Ror?"
She just continued staring at him
"He still loves you" Jess finished and then looked away.
Rory was shocked but then grabbed Jess and kissed him
"I don't care about Dean, I only care about you" with this Jess looked at her and smiled.
"Rory?" Rory looked back up at him
"Yeah?"
"You know I'd never hurt you, right?"
Rory smiled "yeah, I know"
When Rory had started bandaging Jess up again Luke walked in, they both looked up. Luke just stared, he didn't know what to say
"Jess, what was the fight about?"
Jess looked at Luke but Rory answered for him
"Me" she said and Luke turned to look at her
"What?"
Rory was trying to think how to explain it when Jess cut in
"Well, he still likes her and he's jealous that I have the most beautiful and wonderful girl in stars hollow and probably more as my girlfriend when he blew his chance with her"
Rory started to blush and Luke smiled, they both noticed that Luke smiled
"Wow, so he can smile" Jess said
"Oh my god, I've never seen you smile before Luke and I've lived here all my life" Rory added,
This embarrassed Luke so he started backing towards the door
"Well I better get back down to the diner" he said, and left.
They both started laughing as soon as he walked out the door.
When Rory finished she looked at Jess
"Jess, I have to go because it's already 5 and I haven't seen my mom since I left for school, so I'll see you tomorrow, right?"
Jess nodded "Yeah, I'll see ya tomorrow"
With that Rory gave Jess a quick kiss and started to walk out when Jess called
"Rory!"
She turned "thanks. . .for everything" She nodded, smiled and then walked out the door.
Rory got home and saw her mom in the kitchen
"Hey mom, what's going on?"
Lorelai turned startled "Oh, hey hun . . . um . . . Dean came by earlier . . . "
Rory just looked at her
"And . . . " She said to get her mom talking again.
"Well he was really upset and said he was sorry and something about wanting to try again"
Rory just rolled her eyes and went into her room.
"Rory, sweetie . . . why don't you give dean another chance . . . it could work out"
Rory almost exploded, she ran over to her door and flung it open
"Do you know what he did to Jess today?! Have you seen him?!"
Rory practically screamed, Lorelai looked at her and knew she said the wrong thing so she very slowly and quietly replied
"No"
Rory was still angry so she shouted again "Well, go see how badly hurt Jess is and then maybe we can talk!"
And then she slams the door shut. lorelai sighs, she knew she shouldn't have said anything and decides to go to Luke's to see how bad he is beaten up.
Lorelai walks into the diner and over to Luke
"Hey, Luke, where's Jess?"
Luke points to the kitchen and says "Let me guess, you talked to Rory?"
Lorelai looks at him "Well actually it was kind of a her yelling at me thing but yeah, basically"
Luke looked up at her and saw how sad it made her when Rory was mad at her. Just then Jess came walking in from the back, Lorelai notices and gasps
"Oh my god, jess are you alright?"
He looks up to see lorelai staring at him "Yeah, I'm fine. Rory helped me and now I'm ok"
"I'm so sorry Dean did this to you, Jess, I had no idea he was like that" Lorelai said
"Lorelia, it's alright, I'm fine and it's not like it's your fault"
Jess said trying to make her feel better but it didn't work
"Sooo....did Rory tell you about what Luke did?"
Lorelai looked at Luke who was giving Jess the death stare and she laughed a little
"No . . . she's mad at me"
Jess turned to her quickly "What? Why? You guys can't fight because then your both miserable"
Lorelai laughed at this
"Thanks, Jess, you really can be an ok kid. Well I gotta go now and if anyone sees Dean tell him he better stay away from Rory or he'll be hurting"
Jess laughed "Yeah, I'm already making sure of that".
The next day at school Rory walked over to her locker and was surprised to not see Tristan standing there and even more surprised that she kind of wished he was, she had gotten used to their little morning arguments or whatever you wanted to call them. But anyway, she walked over to her locker and got her books out for her first period and started walking.
While she was doing this, Tristan was trying his best to stay away from her so that he might actually be able to get over her, but it wasn't working. So he got his books out and started heading for first period while trying to think about what he would do the rest of the day to keep himself occupied since he usually bugged Rory.
Jess on the other hand had it a little harder at school with everyone talking about his relationship with Rory, the fight between him and Dean, and about why he was there when Dean wasn't (the thing is, once Lane talked to Mr. Smith and told him what really happened, he felt so bad about automatically accusing Jess that he only gave him one week detention while Dean got what he was originally suppose to get) and the thing that made it all the worse was, most people thought that Jess had started the fight.
