Just Come Home

Thanks for the reviews. So here's the new chapter. Not too long but it's a good length. I'm bringing in some Dean conflict and a small fight with Lorelai. Read on.

Rory couldn't fall asleep that night. He called her. Why would he call her? He must have missed her. She hoped he missed her. She felt like an idiot telling him all those things. Begging him to come home to her. It's the only thing she wanted though. There was nothing standing in the way now. There was no more Dean. Well there was Lorelai. Oh god how would Lorelai react? She hadn't even told her that her and Dean broke up. Now Rory felt guilty. She had told her mother everything. She had lied to her.

"Oh god Rory. Why are you crying?" Lorelai has asked when she came home.

"I tripped and landed on my arm and it really hurt," Rory answered quickly. At that moment she was proud she had thought of a lie so quickly but now she was ashamed with herself. Lorelai believed her and gave her some Tylenol.

She is the best mother anyone could ask for. Rory thought this as Lorelai took care of her. She lied to the best mother in the world. No she didn't lie to her mom. She lied to her best friend. Thinking of this moment, Rory's heart sunk. She tried to block it out of her head. She swore to herself that she wouldn't think of Jess or her mom. That's when she thought of Christopher.

"Hey mom. Where's Dad?"

"Oh hon he had to leave. His work called and said he needed to get back."

"He didn't say goodbye..."

"Oh babe, he wanted to but he had to leave immediately. He feels bad about it though, I'm sure."

"I liked having him around. I miss him." Rory remembered being close to tears when she said this. Thinking about this earlier conversation made her cry a little. This whole night was bad. First hearing Jess had left, then the breakup with Dean, and then her embarrasing phone call, her lying to Lorelai, and then her dad leaving. This was a night she never would want to relive.

The next morning Rory got up and immediately got dressed. She ran into the kitchen hoping her mom would be there. As always Lorelai was sitting there, having a cup of coffee. Her and Luke had been in some sort of fight and Lorelai couldn't go to the diner anymore.

"Hey hon. Sleep well?"

"Uhhh, yeah. Actually no. No I didn't."

"Why, was your arm hurting you?"

"No... mom I feel terrible I..."

"Rory what?"

"I lied to you last night. I wasn't crying because of my arm... It was... Dean."

"Dean? What did Dean do?"

"Well he came home early. And he saw my arm and I had to tell him everything and he screamed at me. Then he... well he uhh broke up with me." Rory had a hard time saying the words. She was close to tears. She began to think to herself.

Why are you going to cry Rory? You spilt all your emotions to Jess last night telling him you like him and now what? Do you love Dean? No. Did you ever really love Dean?... No. The realization of the words put her in shock. She never really loved Dean. Sure she cared deeply about him but love seemed a little too strong. He was way to protective and never cared to discuss anything Rory wanted to talk about. She had omly told him she loved him so they wouldn't brake up. Why hadm't she tried to help patch up this brake up... because she didn't love Dean.

"Dean and you broke up? Oh god doll I am so sorry. I guess you're pretty upset then, huh? Do you want to... wallow?"

Rory actually chuckled. She thought it was funny that her mom would still try to encourage her to wallow. "No I don't. I'm upset but.. I don't know. It's not really hurting anymore."

"Rory..." Lorelai questioned with a serious look on her face. This was rare to see with Lorelai so Rory began to get nervous. Did she know about Jess?

"Yeah mom?"

"Ummm.. well... Jess. He's gone now. Are you okay with that?"

Rory was almost angry by this. It was like her mom thought Rory cheated on Dean by the way she said it. Rory was dawned with something all of a sudden. Tristan. The night Dean told Rory she loved her she kissed Tristan. Now the night Dean broke up with her she tells Jess she likes him. Rory felt bad now. She felt like a cheater. Did she cheat on Dean? No. Her and Dean were broke up when she kissed Tristan and when she told her feelings to Jess. But she had these feelings while they were dating...

"Umm yeah sure... Mom?"

"Yeah hon?"

"Do you hate Jess?"

Lorelai paused for a while before answering. "Babe he is the boy who got you in a car accident."

"Mom it wasn't his fault! I've told you this. I told him to just drive around and if I was driving I would have swerved out of the way of that dog or cat or whatever too! Don't blame him. Oh my god you hate him!" Rory was yelling at Lorelai. She was mad that her mom kept blaming Jess. It wasn't his fault. "Mom I am not even that hurt. A minor fracture. That is it."

"Oh my god Rory... you like Jess. Why else would you want to just drive around with him and you are so defensive."

"No I don't stop jumping to conclusions and blaming people. I am so out of here." Rory ran out the kitchen and out of the house. She headed towards Luke's when she ran into... Dean.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry." Rory didn't even realize she ran into Dean. Then she looked up. "Dean..."

"Oh, umm it's okay Rory." At this moment Rory started to walk away but Dean grabbed her hand. "Rory I made a mistake. I miss you. Please, let's say we never broke up. I was just angry last night. I am so sorry, please Rory, please."

"Dean... no. We broke up. I just... I can't date you anymore." Rory started to pull her hand away and he held on tighter.

"What Rory no. Why not? We love each other. We are meant to be together."

"Dean... We don't love each other. You love me and I just.. I don't love you back I'm sorry." Rory tried to get her hand free but he wouldn't let her. He squeezed it harder. "Dean please let go. You're starting to hurt me."

"What do you mean you don't love me? Oh my god it's Jess isn't it? You love Jess. Well this is great. Rory he is scum. He will never care for you like I do. He will leave you. He's gone now Rory. And I'm here. I will always be here. Jess is a dirtbag Rory. Why don't you see that?"

"Dean that is enough. Right now you're acting like scum. Dean let go of me you are really hurting me." Rory started to wince in pain. He really was hurting her.

"No Rory not until you're my girlfriend again. I love you Rory."

"How can you love me while you're hurting me?"

"Rory you are hurting me right now too."

"Dean please let go." She started to cry and at that moment he went in to kiss her. With her free hand she slapped him. "Dean leave me alone, please."

"Let her go you jerk."

"Jess...?" Rory had her emotions running at this moment. Since Dean had her in his hands she couldn't turn around to see him but she heard him. She called out for him again. "Jess is that you?"

"Dean let go of her right now."

"What the hell are you doing here Mariano?" At the moment Dean let go and Rory fell. He started to walk towards Jess.

"I'm not gonna fight you Dean. Just let me and Rory be on our ways okay?"

Right then Dean threw a punch at Jess. Jess ducked right in time. Jess grabbed Dean by the stomach and knocked him over. Dean was on the ground and Jess stodd on top of his stomach. Dean grasped for air.

"Don't you dare come near her again. Ever. You understand." Dean tried to nod but he really couldn't breathe. Jess let off off him and walked away with Rory towards Luke's.

"Jess what are you doing here?"

"Well... I just came home."

Well what did you think? Did you like it? Please review. I added some Dean conflict. I know Dean probably wouldn't have avted like that but I needed to add some drama so Jess could save the day. I'll try to write some more as soon as I can. I'm starting school tomorrow so updates will be slower.
