Rory: I got myself into some trouble.

Jess: (looks to the ground and sighs) What kind of trouble?

Rory: Promise you won't get mad.

Jess: No.

Rory: Okay then. We better sit down. (Walks towards the couch and motions for him to sit down. They both sit down next to each other and Rory turns her body towards Jess.)

Jess: (looks back at her with uncertainty in his eyes.)

Rory: (folds her hands on her lap) Well, the thing is I did something horrible and unexplainable that I can't take back. Well, it's not unexplainable I know why I did it. But I'm afraid if I tell you, then you'll hate me. But I don't want you to hate me so I don't know if-

Jess: Rory, just say it and save us both the trouble.

Rory:(sighs) I slept with Dean. While he was married.

(Rory looks over at Jess and sees he is looking at the ground and his expression is unreadable.)

Jess: Why did you do it Rory?

Rory: I don't know I was confused. Confused about us, where I belonged, who I belonged with. I was hurt when you left Jess. Then when you came back, you wanted me back and I didn't know what to do. So I guess I just turned to Dean. But I realized when it happened that I regretted it. I regretted it because I knew that I still thought about you more than I wanted to.

Jess: So this is about me? (Stands up.)

Rory: What?

Jess: You just suddenly decide to call me down here so I can help you deal with your problems when no one else will?

Rory: No-

Jess: (Holds his hand up in the air.) No. You need to go. Think about what it is that is bothering you and then come back. Don't come in here saying you love me just so I can help you dig you out of the hole that your in.

Rory: I called you because I needed you. I knew that you were the one person I could count on no matter what I had done. This whole town, and my family have turned me away from them. I have locked myself in my house, and buried myself in my schoolwork just to avoid the stares I have gotten from everyone around here. I thought of you and how you always believed I could do anything. I was in love with you and thought I still was. (Stands up and walks towards the door.) I guess I just made a big mistake. (Walks out the door and slams it.)

Jess:(Curses under his breath, grabs a book out of his pocket and begins to read.)

Same time at Luke's Diner

(Rory comes down the stairs with tears in her eyes. Lorelai sees her walking out of the door and sees her crying. She instantly feels sympathy, but doesn't go after her.)
