Chapter Five: For you my love

Rory walked out of her house after showering and changing and into Star's Hollow. She slowly made her way to Dean's house. She knocked on the door quietly and looked down at the ground as she waited for the answer. When the door swung open Rory looked up at her boyfriend and faked a smile. He leaned over to kiss her and she turned her head slightly and he kissed her cheek.

"Come in…" Dean, said stepping aside. He obviously wasn't the happiest person right now. She walked in and wrapped her arms around herself. She did not want to drag this out.

"Dean…" She started, "I just…" She tried again, "You…" She took a deep breath, "You were the best boyfriend I ever could have asked for…"

"Were?" Dean interrupted.

"Dean, I never wanted to hurt you…" Rory started but was again interrupted.

"Just leave." Dean said. He didn't want to say something he'd regret later and he didn't want to sit through her speech either. "Just go…"

"Okay," Rory sighed and nodded softly. "Sorry…" She said as she left his house.

Rory wrapped her arms around herself as she walked to Luke's. She opened the door and walked over to the counter.

"You okay?" Luke asked her.

"Yeah, Dean and I just broke up" Rory answered. She heard Luke start mumbling things about killing the jerk, "I broke up with Dean, I wanted to" She added.

"Oh, okay, good…" Luke said, "You want anything?" He asked.

"Coffee, and 4 doughnuts to go…I'm going back to the hospital" She answered.

Luke got her the things and she left. Got back on the bus to Hartford and sat in the back by herself, just thinking. As the bus jerked to a stop in front of the hospital she stood up balancing her coffee as she walked.

Rory stood in front of Jess's room and took a deep breath. She did a quick double knock on the door and opened it. She looked around the small room and didn't see Jess. "Okay now I'm confused" she mumbled to herself as she put her coffee and the doughnuts on the table.

"Rory…" Jess asked walking out of the small closet area wearing a shirt and jeans that Rory had packed in his book bag.

"Hey, look, you're all normal" Rory said and smiled.

"Still on some pain killers" He answered. He wasn't quite sure what was going on with them. They were together all night but she still had a boyfriend. But here she was, with him.

"Right" Rory answered and sat down on the bed. He sat across from her. She grabbed a doughnut out of the bag and handed the bag to him. He grabbed one as well and dropped the bag to the table with a small thud.

"Question?" Jess asked her looking at her.

"Sure" She answered finishing her doughnut.

"Why are you here?" He asked after eating the last bit of his doughnut.

"Do you not want me here?" She asked slightly panicked. What if she had been wrong? What if Jess didn't like her at all?

"No, that's not what I meant" Jess answered. "Just, you were really great staying with me and bringing me clothes," He started looking down grateful he wasn't wearing hospital clothes anymore, "and everything, but now I'm fine, why are you still here, you have a boyfriend, and better things to do" He finished and looked over at her.

"No, I don't…" She started, "Have a boyfriend, I mean, I don't have a boyfriend" She clarified and looked over at him. "That's why I went to Start's Hollow this morning" She smiled softly, "that and I needed a decent cup of coffee" she teased.

Jess just looked at her in shock. "Why, why did you break up with him?" Jess asked all most hopeful.

Rory smiled softly and closed the short distance between them. She wrapped one arm around his neck and let her other hand rest on his cheek. She leaned her forehead against his and smiled softly. "For you…" She whispered so softly that he all most didn't hear her. She smiled and she closed the remaining distance as their lips met.
