Chapter: Fifteen, I don't know
Rory sat on her bed thinking about Jess. She had stayed with him for about four hours but then realized that she had to get home. Her and Jess hadn't really said much to each other. They had just sat there, her holding him; they lay down on his bed, just lying there until Rory left. By the time she got home her mom was already in bed. Now, here she was, sitting on her bed thinking of her boyfriend.

Rory sighed to herself slightly and stood up. She changed her clothes and wrote a short note to her mom.

Mom, went to Luke's, see you later. Love you. -Rory.

Then she grabbed her jacket and ran toward Luke's.

When she got there she reached for the hidden key and went inside. She made her way up the stairs and went in the apartment. Luke's lights were now off but she could her him moving around. She turned and walked into Jess' room.

Jess was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling as he heard his door being slowly pushed open. He sat up and was surprised to see Rory standing in his doorway. "I thought you had to go home," He said.

"I did" Rory answered and walked over to his bed after pushing his door shut. She sat down next to him and kissed him lightly. "How are you?" She asked after they pulled away.

"Okay" He said. He had never been too close with his mother. It wasn't like Rory and Lorelai where they meant everything to each other, but she was still his mom. And as hard as he tried not to care, he did. Jess felt Rory timidly slid her hand into his and he intertwined their fingers.

Rory nodded slightly moving closer to him. "How . . . how did it happen?" She asked him.

Jess took a deep breath. He looked at Rory, "She was with Mark, or whoever her boyfriend was and they were both drunk and it was late and they were driving and hit a telephone pole"

"I'm really sorry" She answered him. She lay back on his bed and he followed suit laid down next to her. Rory closed her eyes for a moment. She had no clue what she would do if she lost her mother. She didn't even want to think about it.

Jess shrugged slightly as Rory re-opened her eyes and looked at him.

"So are you going?" She asked and waited a moment after now getting a response she sighed softly, "To NY for the funeral" she clarified.

Jess still didn't answer. That was what he'd been asking himself all night. Would he go? Could he go? He shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure yet" Jess finally answered her.

Rory nodded slightly and laid her head on his chest lightly. Jess smiled and kissed the top of her head and pulled his hand through her hair. "I love you" He whispered to her.

"I love you, too" She whispered back to him and they both fell into a restless sleep.
