A/N: ok, here is the plan; I know I need to finish this story. But it is going to take some time. I am going to have at least 20 chapters, I mean; I have so much to put in this story. I was just sitting in my room and jotted down ideas for this story, and I have so much to pack in.

A/N 2: On my other story, Tristan: Luke's Nephew, I did the same thing, but I am not going to start on that story again, until I finish my other story, Traveling Soldier, and I only have about 2 more chapters to do in that one, and probably an epilogue.

A/N 3: Sorry for so many a/n's and this one is going to be the last one. I promise. I just want you to know that this chapter's going to be a little short... And I am going to get on this story again. So I hope you review after you read it, and give me some CRITICIZM! I am so sick of people just saying "I love it, please continue." I mean, I want to know what are my strong points, and what I need to work on. So if you could please, do what I ask.

Disclaimer: What? Do you really think I own it?

Chapter 14: Pills

Jess stood in the quiet kitchen of Rory Gilmore's--- oh, excuse me!--- Amy James's. What had just happened here? She just kisses him on the cheek and leaves? What kind of response is that?

One that he couldn't read, that's for sure.

Jess looked down at the little girl that was standing next to him, spreading peanut butter on the side of her sandwich and slipping it into a Ziploc bag.

Then he saw the child put it into a brown paper bag, and put it into her backpack. "Today is my second day of first grade," she stated.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah," Lora smiled. "My teacher, Mrs. Gwenton, is having us make picture books today!"

Jess smiled at the girl standing before him. "Your mom has gotten you reading yet?"

"You bet! She already taught me how to read big books, with chapters!"

Jess smile grew bigger as he thought about Rory's love for books. Jess followed Lora with his eyes, as she went over to a cabinet with a stool and sat it down. Then she opened the top shelf and Jess found that it was the medicine cabinet. He saw Lora take out one bottle--- wait two--- no, two more--- and then one other, then closed the cupboard and returned to Jess at the table with the 5 bottles stuffed in her small arms. "Why are you taking all those?"

"Mama says I have to, to keep healthy."

Lora went to the other cabinet and took out a glass, and filled it with tap water. Then she returned to him once more. "See, I have it all worked out. I take the biggest one," she is doing this while she talks to him, "and then take out two of the red and white ones. Then I take the next biggest one and take one of the blue, liquid ones. Then the other big one, and take one of the green, grass tablets. Then I take the second smallest and take three of the tiny white ones. Then I use the last one and take two of the yellow ones."

Jess raised his eyes. Had that girl really swallowed all those pills? How? Why? "I don't think that your mom is going to be out anytime soon, do you want me to give you a ride to school?"

"Mother told me to never take a ride with strangers."

"Well, my name is Jess," he said as he stuck out his hand.

"I'm Lora," she said as she shook his hand with a smile.

"Well, I guess we are not strangers anymore, are we?"

Lora looked to the ground, "I guess not."

"Come on, I'll get you to school."

Jess crooked out his elbow and she put her arm through it, as they walked out the door.
