Rory smiled at Jess who returned it. "So . . ." Jess started now knowing what to say. "How are you getting home?" he asked her.
"Bus" Rory nodded her head slightly . . ."I have to be at the station by 4 so I can be home before my mom has time to worry" She smiled.
Jess nodded slightly as they walked through the city. "What do you want to do?"
Rory shrugged. She took a quick drink of her coffee before throwing the now empty cup in a trashcan. "I don't know" She smiled slightly, "I want to see your house" She decided.
"You sure?" He asked. He was fairly sure his mother wasn't home so he didn't have that to worry about. But his mom was just about always drunk and the minute you walked into the apartment you knew that. He didn't really have a problem showing that aspect of his life with Rory but he also didn't want to freak her out. People and situations like that didn't exist in the small town of Star's Hallow that she grew up in.
"If you don't mind" She answered picking up on his apprehension. "We can do something else if you want" She added giving him an easy out if he wanted it. "It's fine" He promised her resting his hand on her back as they walked.
Rory smiled enjoying the feel of his hand on her back. She let him lead her to his house. She wondered what was so bad about his living situation that he had been a little freaked when she said she wanted him to show her his home.
Jess led her to the apartment. As they reached it he led her up the stairs leading to the small New York apartment. He sighed as he unlocked the door and let her inside before shutting the door behind them. "My mom, she's drunk a lot and she doesn't have time to take much care of the place." Jess said quietly. Leading her to his shockingly clean room.
"It's fine" Rory promised and sat down on his bed. She pulled his CD collection toward her and looked through them.
Jess sat down behind her watching over her shoulder. He was glad she had been fine with the apartment. He was happy she was such an understanding and sweet person.
Jess heard the lock of the door being played with and knew it couldn't be anyone else but his mom, or maybe one of her random boyfriends. Jess sighed softly leaning his forehead against Rory's shoulder for a brief moment. "I'll be right back, okay?" He asked softly
Rory looked back at him and could see in his eyes how upset he was. "We can go somewhere else if you want" She answered. He shook his head slightly.
"I'll only be a second" he promised her and walked into the main room shutting the door to his room behind him. "What are you doing here?" He asked his mom who was with her current boyfriend.
"Dono . . ." Liz said in a drunken slur. It was obvious she was holding her boyfriend up who was in turn holding her up.
"Damn it" Jess cursed out load wishing he didn't have to deal with this and especially not with Rory. "Fine . . . fine . . . I'll go" Jess said not needing this right now. He hated his mom for being who she was at that moment. He shouldn't have to deal with her. He shouldn't have to take care of her. It was defiantly supposed to be the other way around.
Jess's mom's boyfriend slowly leaned her against the wall and headed down the hall toward the rooms. Jess knew he was going toward his room so he hurried to his door and watched to make sure Liz's boyfriend passed before he opened it.
"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Jess asked Rory after walking back into his room.
"Sure" Rory answered. She could tell something was wrong but didn't want to press him on it. Rory put he CD she was looking at back into the box that held all his CD's and put the box back on the floor. "Sure" She repeated grabbing her backpack and walking over to him. She walked with him to the main room and saw what she thought must be his mom and some guy, her husband maybe, walking back toward her. She felt Jess lightly rest his hand on her hip as the man walked by them. He did it in a protective manor. She knew nothing about this aspect of his life.
"Hi" Liz slurred out.
"Hello" Rory smiled politely. She knew that she had sent Jess to Star's Hallow because she couldn't handle him and she could see the some what destroyed look that Jess had in his eyes right now. Rory lightly laid her hand on Jess's arm and let him lead her out of the apartment.
"I'm so sorry," Jess said after they got out of the apartment. Jess turned and faced her.
"It's fine," Rory promised. She looked at her watch, "I should get to the bus station," She said. "Walk with me?"
"Yeah" Jess answered and they walked together to the small bus station. When they got there Jess turned and faced Rory, "So..."
"Bye" She whispered and hugged him. She wrapped her arm around his neck and felt his arms move around her waist. She had this horrible feeling in the bottom of her stomach that she would never see him again and that hurt. "I miss you" She whispered softly.
He knew exactly what she meant, that she had missed him and that she would miss him after she went home. "I miss you, too" He whispered.
Rory slowly got on the bus and waved as it pulled away. After a very long bus ride sitting next to a guy who spit in a soda can she stepped off the bus in Star's Hallow. She sighed softly looking around herself. She was so glad that she didn't have to go to Friday Night Dinner. Her grandparents were in Italy or somewhere like that.
"Hi mom" Rory smiled as she entered her house dropping her book bag on the floor.
"No Friday Night Dinner" Lorelai smiled and jumped up and down for a moment. "What?" She asked and sat down on he couch when she saw her daughter's serious expression.
"I might have skipped school and went to New York today" Rory said and sat down next to her mom.
"Why?" Her mom asked shocked.
"To see Jess" She answered looking down at the ground. "I just really missed him," Rory added.
"You skipped school, you've never even done anything remotely like that in your life" Lorelai said and shook her head slightly.
"I know, I'm really sorry" Rory said her expression begging her mom to understand.
"It's okay" Lorelai said and Rory smiled softly so glad that she didn't have an annoyingly over-protective mother. "So how was the bus ride?" Lorelai finally asked.
Rory smiled for a moment, "Not bad on the way there, sat next to a guy who apparently, found it fun to spit in a soda can on the way back" Rory nodded slightly, "And on that lovely note, I think I need a shower."
"Yes, yes you do" Lorelai nodded as Rory walked off toward the bathroom. "Details tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yeah" Rory yelled back.
