Chapter: Fourteen, Tragedy
Rory woke up to the sound of farm animals. She rolled over and hit the off button of her alarm clock. She got up, showered, and changed her clothes and went upstairs to wake her mother up. The day after everything that had happened with Jess happened she had told her mom everything. After that her mom had become much more accepting of Jess. She had even given them the whole night alone a few more times. Nothing that they wouldn't have done if Lorelai had been in the house had happened yet. But strange as it was, it was becoming more and more of a possibility.
After both Gilmore's were awake and ready the headed toward Luke's. When they got there Lorelai went straight to the counter to order and Rory went up the narrow stairs to the apartment above. She opened the door then went to the door that led to Jess' room and knocked lightly. She smiled as she heard foot steeps walk toward the door and Jess appeared in the doorway. His expression changing quickly to a happier one.
"Hi" He smiled at his girlfriend.
"Hi" She smiled moving inside the room letting the door slowly fall shut behind her. She smiled as Jess moved to kiss her and she returned the kiss. When they pulled back she smiled up at him.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asked
"Friday" she reminded him. "I'm coming here after though"
"Alright" He answered.
"Okay, I need to eat before school" She smiled and slipped her hand into his and walked out and down the stairs to the dinner. Not many people were inside; most were at work or going to school or whatever they do during the day. Her mom was sitting at the counter eating pancakes and drinking coffee. Next to her sat a plate of eggs and a cup of coffee. "Thanks" Rory said to her mom who nodded slightly and Rory began to eat as Jess got his various things together for school.
"Bye" Rory said to her mom after glancing at her watch.
Jess went over to Rory and they walked out of the dinner and toward the bus stop. It had become a daily ritual, Jess walked Rory to the bus stop and waited with her for her bus and after it came he went to school.
Rory and Jess sat down on the small wooden bench. Jess slid his arm loosely around her shoulders and Rory smiled slightly leaning against his chest. Rory saw Dean staring at them from a road leading to the school. She sighed slightly as Dean noticed that Rory saw him and he kept walking. Rory stood and gathered her things as her bus came into view. She looked around herself making sure she had everything, "Okay . . . Okay" She said satisfied that she had everything she needed. "Bye" She said o her boyfriend.
"Bye" Jess answered and kissed her softly, "I love you" He whispered.
"I love you, too" Rory whispered back with a smile, it still felt so good to hear that from him, before turning to get on her bus.
Rory sighed softly, it had been an overly long day of school and she was now sitting on the bus heading toward home. She was glad she got to go home now but shook her head slightly as she remembered that she had Friday night dinner tonight.
Rory stepped off the bus in Stars Hollow and waved slightly to Jess who was in Luke's. Jess waved back and Rory walked toward her house.
"Hi mom" Rory said as she went in the direction of her room and changed clothes for dinner.
"Hi" Lorelai answered already changed. "Ready?" She asked and after getting an affirmative nod for Rory Lorelai smiled and went out to the car waiting for Rory to get in before starting it and heading toward her parent's home.
Everyone said hello to everyone else and the new maid, Maria had informed them that dinner was ready they were all sitting around the table eating their dinners.
"So, how is school?" Emily asked Rory.
"Oh, it's fine" Rory answered.
"How's the inn?" Emily asked Lorelai.
"It's fine, mom" Lorelai answered.
"How is Dean, Rory?" Emily asked. She was fairly confident that Dean and Rory had broken up seeing as Rory stopped talking about him but wasn't sure and was a little hurt she wasn't informed.
"Why do you ask?" Lorelai asked Emily.
"It's a simple question" Emily defended herself.
"He's not my boyfriend, anymore, Grandma" Rory said quietly.
"Well, I never really like him" Richard finally spoke up and Rory smiled politely at him.
"Actually, I'm seeing someone else" Rory said. Her brain knew it was a bad idea to tell her grandparents she was seeing the person who had wrecked her car but for some unknown reason she was anyway. "Jess" she answered her grandparents questioning stares.
"Luke's nephew" Lorelai refreshed their memories in a warning tone. She knew how much Rory liked Jess bus she also knew that for some reason, which was completely beyond Lorelai, what Emily and Richard thought meant something to Rory.
"Oh" Richard said going back to his food.
"That's nice, maybe he could come for dinner some time" Emily answered.
"Maybe" Rory nodded slightly.
"That was fun, huh" Lorelai asked her daughter teasingly as they rode in the car back to Star's Hallow.
"Yeah, big fun" Rory answered in the same tone.
"So, you going to Luke's or coming straight home?" Lorelai asked.
"I'm going to Luke's" Rory answered and Lorelai stopped the car in front of the dinner, "See you at home" Rory smiled slightly and kissed her mom on the cheek.
"Bye," Lorelai smiled slightly before going toward home.
Rory got to the door to the dinner and saw that the closed sign was up. She frowned slightly wondering why. She opened the unlocked door and let it shut behind her.
"We're closed, sorry," Caesar said looking up from the counter. "Oh, Rory, hi"
"Hey . . . what's going on?" Rory asked.
"Um, Luke and Jess are upstairs" He answered her in an evasive way.
"Okay, thanks" Rory said and looked at Caesar for a moment before turning and going up the stairs.
She opened the door to the apartment and looked over at Luke's door, which was cracked open. She could see him pacing back and forth and hear him muttering to himself.
Rory began to worry as she walked over to the door, which led to Jess' room. She knocked lightly.
"What?" She heard Jess ask in an emotionless voice that almost scared her.
"It's me" she answered, "Can I come in?"
"Yeah" He answered in almost the same voice.
Rory slowly opened the door and walked inside closing the door behind her before tuning to Jess sitting on his bed with music playing softly. It was obvious, to her, that he had been crying earlier. "What's wrong?" She asked sitting down next to him.
"My mom . . . she's dead" He answered her in a monotone still looking at the same spot on the wall.
"Jess?" She asked in a worried voice. He was scaring her just a little. Not in the, he's going to hurt me, way but in the, he's really upset, way. She shifted slightly on his bed so she was facing him and lightly placed her hand on his cheek and moved his eyes to meat hers. His eyes were completely empty. She knew he was upset but it was like he was hiding that, not letting her know how much pain he was in. Rory moved her arms around his neck. She kissed his shoulder lightly before resting her forehead in his shoulder. She felt him bury his face in her neck. She puled him closer to her as she felt warm water hit her shoulder as he silently cried.
