Chapter Thirteen: Why?

Rory opened her eyes, to see her mother sitting in front of her holding a large cup of coffee. When Rory sat up, Lorelai thrust the cup into Rory's hand, "Thanks."

"How are you feeling?"

Rory took a large mouthful of the hot liquid, before answering, "I don't understand what happened" Rory replied trying to hold back a fresh flood of tears.

"I'm sorry"

"I thought that he liked me, I thought that he had changed, I thought that he wouldn't hurt me"

"Oh I'm sorry baby, but you need to forget all this"

"Forget it, I'll never forget it, never, never, never" Rory said starting to cry again, but constantly repeating never.

Lorelai took the empty coffee cup out of Rory's hands, and set it down on the bedside table, "I know that, well at least not entirley, but you have to try to put this behind you, it's ok"

"It's not ok, it'll never be ok" Rory said burying her head in her pillow as sobs rackled her body.

Rory and Lorelai slowly made their way towards Luke's, Rory had managed to stop the flow of tears, she had taken a hot shower, and gotten dressed, she knew Chilton would be out of school already so it didn't look sucspicous. They entered Luke's and sat at the counter, Lorelai ordered two coffee's and Rory wouldn't make eye contact with Luke and looked at her fidgeting hands, the whole time. After she had finished her coffee she met Luke's eye for the first time, "Luke, ummm, is.... is um Jess upstairs"

"Yeah"

"Can I go up"

"Sure thing"

"I'll be back" Rory told her mum.

She made her way to the top of the stairs, and knocked on the door there. "It's open"

Rory turned the handle and stepped inside. Jess turned to see who it was, his eyes widened in suprise, "Rory"

"Hey"

Rory sat down on the couch, and Jess made his way over and sat next to her. "What's up?" he asked.

"Nothing much,"

"Why'd you come up here?"

"No reason, just to see you"

"You seem depressed"

"I'm not"

"Your quiet, you won't meet my eyes for more then a split second and when you do I can tell you've been crying, what's wrong?"

"Nothing"

"Don't lie"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Rory"

"fine" Rory yelled, "you want to know what's wrong, i'll tell you what's wrong you were right all of you."

"Right about what?"

"Tristan, he doesn't care about me, he didn't change you were all right all of you"

Jess's jaw tightened as Rory yelled. "What did he do?"

"Don't worry about it"

"Tell me"

"He was kissing someone else alright, some blonde bimbo he was kissing her" Rory said angrily.

"Oh..."

"He's supposed to kiss me not her" Rory's anger turned to new tears as she started to cry again.

She buried her head in Jess's shoulder, his ams encircled her as her tears wet his shirt.

Lorelai shook Rory awake, "It's time to get up for school"

Rory moaned, "I don't want to go"

Lorelai sighed, "ok, I'll ring the school"

"and Paris, ask her to bring my homework around for me"

"Ok, but your ging to have to face the music eventually" Lorelai said as she left.
