"Dean please let go of my arm you're hurting me." She managed to say and he just tightens his grip on her arm, she cried out in pain from that and he slapped her again.

"Shut up you little flirt, do you understand me? I didn't want you near him." He said all she could do was nod. "Good and you better not tell anyone about this or else I swear you'll regret it." After he said that he let her go and walked out the front door and slammed it behind him as she fell to the floor crying.

Chapter Two - What to Do Now

She lay there on the floor crying for about 5 more minutes then thought she should clean herself up. She got up and locked all the doors in fear that he would come back and went into the bathroom she turned the light on and saw her face her right side of her face was swelling up from when he hit her and her left arm hurt like hell plus her back had a scratch on it from earlier also. She sighed as she saw herself and took a shower. After that she got dressed into a blue tank top and grey sweatpants and put on some cover-up for he face. Then remembered her mother wouldn't be home until the next day. She wanted to call Lane but it was after 9:00p.m. And Mama Kim wouldn't let her talk on the phone. So she put on her jacket and chose that running to Lane's was better than staying alone by herself, but before she left she grabbed a book and her cell phone then locked the door as she walked outside.

Meanwhile…

After Jess left Rory's he went to the bridge and sat there while reading after a while he deiced to head back to Luke's but didn't notice her left his keys and his book that fell out of his jacket pocket behind.

Rory stood out there for a moment and started to walk towards Lane's but heard something and ran the other way she soon found her self-nearing the bridge, she for some reason felt safe there and sat down on it and found a book and keys. 'Jess must have left these here.' She thought as she picked up his book and started reading the notes in the margins as she did this she felt even safer at the thought of Jess. 'Maybe Dean's right, maybe I do like Jess. I mean we like the same books' and music plus he would never hit me. God why did Dean act like that?' just at the thought of Dean sent chills down her spine. She thought about what had happened and started softly crying putting her head in her hands while letting her feet hang over the edge.

When Jess got back to Luke's he reached inside his pocket for his keys but it was empty 'Damn must have left them at the bridge. Great just great.' He thought as he started back towards the bridge. When he got there he saw someone sitting on the bridge. 'What the hell who would be at the bridge in the middle of the night.' He wondered as the figure on the bridge put a strand of hair behind their ear. 'Is that Rory? And wait a minute is she crying?' He thought and started walking slowly toward her.

She heard someone walking on the bridge toward her and she froze thinking again that it was Dean. Her mind was telling her body to run away and not to look back but she wouldn't move as she held her breath.

"Rory?" A familiar voice asked she let out the breath was had been holding and looked at him.

"Hey Jess what are you doing out here?" She asked glad to see him.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"Oh well I uh…um."

"Are you ok?" He asked as he sat down next to her

"Uh…um I'm yeah I have to go."

"Why?"

"Cause I can't hang around you if I do and he finds out I'll get hurt." She said then put her hand over her mouth 'Gilmore why did you just do that?'

"What? Who's gonna hurt you if you hang out with me?" Jess asked

"I didn't mean that I just I have to go and you can't say anything." She said as she was getting up he did as well and reached out to grab her arm and when he did she winced In pain "Aaaahhhh" she yelped. He let go and was now really concerned because her barley touched her arm at all.

"Rory what's going on?" He asked as she started to rub her arm. "Here let me see it." He took her arm and gently pulled up the sleeve of her jacket and saw a bruise on her arm as she pulled her arm away from him. "What the hell happened to give you that Rory?"

"I… he… got mad and there was yelling… and I… can't tell you Jess believe me I want to but I can't or I will get hurt or you will or someone else… I can't be around you either please just believe me and don't say anything to any one." She said while starting to cry, he pulled her into to a hug as she just cried on his shirt.

'What the hell is she talking about, god she seems terrified. Who's gonna hurt her? Gosh what is wrong with her?' Jess thought and pulled away little and looked her in the eyes. "Rory let's get you home and you can tell me what's wrong ok?" He said while gently pushing a strand off hair away from her face and he saw that it was bruised also, he had seen stuff like this before, and he grew up around it. Some one had beat her just the thought of that make him want to kill the person who did this to her.
