Chapter Four

Rory enters the house with a smile on her face.

"Rory is that you?" Lorelai calls from the living room.

"No it's me, Santa!"

"Could you come in here?"

Rory walks to the living room where she sees Lorelai looking rather upset. "You wanna tell me what this is?" She asks accusingly as she holds up a belt for Rory to see.

Rory looks at it for a second. "Uh, it's a belt." Rory says confused.

"Yeah, it's a man's belt!"

Rory smirks. "Why'd you buy a man's belt?"

"I didn't buy it, I found it under your bed!" Lorelai blames.

A shock goes through Rory. "You fo –"

"-Did you sleep with Dean?"

"No, mom!"

"Well this is his belt, I take it?"

"It's not Dean's belt!" Rory says.

Lorelai looks surprised. "Well honey, if it's not Dean's belt, who's is it then?" She demands, trying to keep her voice calm.

Should've told her it was Dean's. "It's uh…dad's?"

"Christopher's? He hasn't been his in like a year! Rory, just tell me!"

"Fine, it's Jess' okay!" Rory suddenly exclaims.

That one Lorelai didn't expect. "JESS'? She explodes. "Jess'! Rory don't tell me you had sex with Jess!" Her voice sounds panicked.

"I…I did." Rory mutters.

"Wh-uh, wh-when?" Lorelai asks wide-eyed.

"Friday…" Rory says with a tiny voice.

"FRIDAY?" Lorelai yells. "You had sex with Jess Friday, when you were still with Dean?" She doesn't realize just how loud her voice sounds, and how open the window is, and how eagerly Babette is eavesdropping on their fight in her yard.

"Yeah mom I did!" Rory starts yelling too now.

"So what, in the two years that you were with Dean you never felt ready, and then Jess shows up and you think 'well he's here now, I might as well have sex with him'?"

"It's not like that. We're in love, okay!"

"No, honey! He isn't in love with you, he just wanted to get in the pants of the town princess, tricking you into cheating on Dean!"

"Just stop it mom!"

"I can't believe you cheated on Dean! You love Dean!"

"No mom I don't! I haven't anymore for a while! And as much as you hate to hear it, I love Jess!" And with that Rory storms outside, where she sits herself on the steps of the front porch. Tears start running down her face. She gets up again, and runs away.

"Jess!" Lorelai bursts into Luke's diner.

Everyone including Jess looks up startled. Lorelai storms to the counter. "You – you…" She says pointing her finger at Jess, trying to come up with something hurtful to say.

"Lorelai, calm down." Luke says, looking at her with caution

"You're scaring away the customers." Jess adds.

Lorelai gives him a destroying glare. "Give me one reason not to kill you!" She spits.

"Lorelai, what?" Luke asks.

"He-He…" Lorelai is so mad she can't even talk properly. "He did…to Rory, probably forced her to…You wrecked everything for her!" She says breathless, turning her attention back to Jess. "She and Dean were happy, they loved each other and you destroyed it you worthless piece of –"

"- What's this all about, you're not making sense!" Luke interrupts. The entire diner is listening and staring.
Jess suddenly realizes that she knows, that she and Rory had a fight and Rory must be devastated somewhere. Without paying any more attention to Lorelai's furious rant, he hurries from behind the counter, and before anyone can stop him he runs out.

OOOOOOOOOO

Rory sits on the bridge, her feet dangling over the edge. She watches herself in the water as she cries her eyes out. He mom was right. She cheated on Dean in the worst way possible. Was she a slut? Dean had been nothing but good to her, and she threw it away like it was nothing. Dean didn't deserve this.
Caught up in her thoughts and sobs, she doesn't hear the footsteps approaching.
Suddenly she sees Jess in the reflection of the water, sitting down next to her. She looks at him, her blues eyes all red and her face tear-stained. He puts his arm around her shoulders, and she buries her face in his T-shirt.
Jess just holds her, as she cries and her shoulders shock.

When Rory calms down a bit, she looks up at Jess. "Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"How'd you know I was here?"

Jess smirks. "Where else would you be?"

Rory gives him a faint smile.

"So what happened?" Jess asks.

Rory sighs. "She found your belt under my bed." She says bitterly, still sobbing a bit.

"Oh shit…I forgot all about that thing." Jess says spiteful.

"Yeah…" Rory nods.

They sit in silent for a while.

"I don't wanna go back there." Rory suddenly says.

Jess looks up at her, kinda surprised. "Ever…?"

Rory can't help but smile a bit at the idea of that. "No, just, not now…"

"Well, I'll stay with you if you want…"

Rory nods. "Stay." She confirms.

"I could maybe read you," he feels in his back pocket. "Damn, the one time it matters…"

"What were you reading, besides one of the books I gave you, coz I know you sometimes read more at a time."

"Three guesses." Jess says with a smile.

"No, not Howl again." Rory pretends to complain.

"Hey, it's got sentimental values." Jess smirks.

"Aw, y'old softy." She smiles, moved.

"You want me to go get it?"

Rory nods with a twinkle in her eye.

"Your copy or mine?"

"You are not breaking into my room!" Rory chuckles.

"Fine, if you want me to get killed by both Lorelai and Luke…"

"You can go through the back."

"No way, Caesar will hear me, besides I left it on the counter, right under their noses."

"But…you might find stuff." Rory pouts.

Jess raises and intrigued eyebrow. "Miss Gilmore, do you have stuff in your room that might be found inappropriate?" He smirks.

Rory laughs. "Just go get it."

"Fine, but I'm searching your room!" He says sternly.

"Oh no!" Rory fakes with a smile.

"Don't move." Jess says as he gets up, and hurries away.

Rory smiles to herself, and drops her head on the wooden planks of the bridge.

"Oh my god…" Sookie mumbles. They're in the kitchen on the Inn.

"I know! I mean, she's my daughter and I love her, but what is she thinking cheating on Dean with that good for nothing punk!"

"Oh honey, you're just upset. I think Rory was just following her heart." Sookie tries to comfort her best friend.

"Yeah but couldn't she follow her heart in a slightly less extreme way? I mean a kiss okay, but she slept with the guy Sook! And it was her first time, I wanted it to be special for her and…later."

Sookie puts an arm around her. "I'm sure it was special for her, and…well…"

"What?"

"Well she is 17! By the time you were 17 you were already nursing your baby!"

"Exactly, I was hoping that Rory wouldn't have to do that just yet!"

"Yeah but the chance that she'll get pregnant if she uses protection isn't that big, Lor, you were just one of the few."

Lorelai sighs. "Maybe you're right…"

Rory smiles calmly as she listens to Jess reading Howls to her. Howl. That book was her favorite one. Not just because it was a really good book, but also because her and Jess' first book discussion had been about it. He had 'borrowed' it from her, saying he didn't read much, and when he returned it he'd written his personal thoughts in the margins, as he does with every book he reads. It turned out he actually did read a lot, a whole lot. She'd called him Dodger, making Oliver Twist her second favorite book.
She sighs conted and she lies with her head resting on Jess' chest, his one arm around her, and the other one holding the book, and their legs stretched out over the bridge.

He stops reading and Rory looks up, and she sees him grabbing a pen and writing something in the margins.

"You already wrote your notes in there." Rory says with a smile.

"Yeah but I updated since last time, and you should have these updates too." He smirks.

Rory kisses him.

"Alright, up!" They suddenly hear an angry voice above them.
They quickly get up. "You're coming with me!" Luke says to Jess.

"What!"

Luke grabs Jess by the arm and starts dragging him along. Jess knows to hold himself long enough to quickly kiss Rory and say "I'll call you.", and they're off, leaving Rory a little bewildered.
She wraps her arms around herself, when suddenly a horrible thought strikes her.
If Luke knows, then Miss Patty knows, and if Patty knows…"Oh no!" She mumbles, and rushes off.

OOOOOOOOOO

"What the hell are you doing?" Jess asks agitated as he tries to keep up with Luke's pace.

"We're going home, and you're gonna pack!"

"What! What for?"

"You're going back!"

"I don't think so!"

Luke stops walking and turns Jess to him. "Jess, damn it! Can't you see how much trouble your making, and how Rory the cost of it!"

"What do you mean?"

"Jess she cheated on Dean for you! Do you really think that's something Rory just does without feeling bad for it? She's probably killing herself!"

Jess sighs. "I know, okay! But it's not like I forced her into doing it, like you, Lorelai and probably the rest of this damn town thinks! She started it."

Luke crosses his arms. "Oh she started it!"

"Yeah, she was the one who started kissing me, she was the one who sat down on the bed, and she was the one who started taking my shirt off –"

"- okay enough details! So maybe it wasn't entirely your doing, but you're going home to pack, while I talk to Lorelai, and we'll just see if you go back! Understand!"

Jess looks mad. "Fine!"

Luke nods furiously. "Yes, fine!"

Rory knocks on the door, and Sarah enters. "Rory." She coldly says.

"Sarah, hi, uhm is Dean home?" She asks uncomfortably.

"Yes. But he doesn't want to see you."

"Please, I need to talk to him." Rory pleads.

"Sorry." Sarah says without meaning it, and she closes the door.

Rory sighs, and decides to climb the tree. Once up there, she goes to Dean's window. She sees him sitting there, and knocks on the glass.

Dean looks up startled. He hesitates before opening the window.

"Dean, hi." Rory starts.

"What are you doing?"

"Sarah said you wouldn't talk to me, but I have to."

Dean just looks at her, waiting for her to continue.

"I was hoping I'd catch you before Miss Patty told you, or the entire town for that matter."

"Told me what?" His voice sounds annoyed, but also sad.

Rory sighs. He didn't know. Good –or, damn. Depends on how you look at it. "Okay here's the thing…" Rory takes another deep breath, and sees her hand shaking. She was scared, actually, scared of Dean's reaction. Would he explode? Would he storm out and beat Jess up? Would he beat her up, or maybe worse? Let's get it over with, she told herself. "You know how I said that it was partly because of Jess? Well I…" Oh god here comes the rambling. "Okay, I have to tell you because otherwise you'll hear it from Patty or Babette or something and it'll be so much worse then, and you'll be even more hurt because I didn't tell you and you didn't know and the entire town knows and I'm a horrible, horrible disgusting person who doesn't deserve to have had a boyfriend like you because I completely screwed up and I would understand if you hate me and yell at me, and you should hate me, I hate me, because what I've been trying to tell you is the fact of the matter is that I slept with Jess and it wasn't supposed to happen because I was supposed to love you, and not go off being the kind of person who cheats on her boyfriend who has been nothing but amazingly good to her." She takes a breath. It was out. She looks at Dean, who looks completely pale, and his expression wasn't one of anger like she thought it would be, but one of dread and fear. "You…" He tries to speak but his throat is completely dry and choked up.
Tears start to well up in her eyes. "Dean I'm so, so sorry, I know you won't ever be able to forgive me…"

Dean just nods, his expression still horrified. He slowly gets up, closes the window and walks out of his room.

Rory just sits there, unsure of how he'd taken it.

Oh no! What's this? What's he going to do? Where's this going? Is Jess gonna leave? Why am I asking so many annoying questions?

Okay nevermind, that was chapter four, hope ya liked it, review….:D
