Author's Note- I am really glad that you all like it. Also some Rory and Jess action soon.


Previously on Love, Fear, and Hate-

Lane smiled and walked up the stairs to Luke's apartment and knocked on the door. Jess answered it.

"What?" he was is response to the door but saw Lane there and said "Sorry"

"It's ok I just wanted to know how she was." Lane told him. He was about to answer when Luke said. 'Kirk back away from the curtain.'

"Want to come in so the whole town won't hear?"

"Sure thanks." She said they went in and Jess said. "She looks really bad bruises on her arms and face plus a broken wrist and a mild concussion from having Dean slam her up against the walk and making her fall. Then to add she is in the hospital for the night and it's all my fault." Jess said and sat down at one the chairs at the table and put his face in his hands. Lane sat down at a chair also.


Chapter Eight - Why won't he just leave?

Lane felt sorry for him at that moment and saw what Rory had always told her about the kinder side of Jess Mariano. "Jess it's not your fault you helped her." Lane said trying to comfort him not really knowing what to do.

"Oh yeah I really helped her by going over to her place bringing her food, eating there leaving after having Dean see me. Then later find Rory at the bridge crying in fear shaking so much that someone would have thought she had just saw someone die right in front of her." Jess said and thought. 'I hate bastard for doing that to her.'

"It's not your fault he is insane and you helped her and she could have gotten hurt even worse if it wasn't for you finding her."

"Don't even remind me. I mean he was going to let him continue to hit her so the town wouldn't give her sympathy." Jess replied and Lane thought. 'He really does care about her.'

"That was some show you put on down there. I think most people were stunned that you knew so many words." Lane said trying to lighten the mood up a little.

He chuckled slightly "Thanks"

"You know you aren't as bad as person I thought you were in the first place."

"Whatever just don't tell anyone I would loose my Stars Hollow bad boy image and what would everyone have to keep them entertained?" Jess said while Lane laughed slightly.

"Your secret is safe with me. I 'm going to go." She said as she stood at the door she looked back at him and said. "If you hurt her I will hurt you. Even though I know you wouldn't but still I had to say it." Lane said and then left. After that Jess stayed upstairs thinking.

When Luke came up at the end of that day he realized that they hadn't had any sleep for over 24 hours, they went to sleep or at least attempted to. Jess thinking about Rory and that night, wishing it never happened well except for the kiss and how many ways to kill Dean. Luke was also thinking of why that had happened, and how many ways to kill Dean. But also of how proud he was of Jess. They both had thought of at least 53 ways each on their own.

That was the same thing that happened for Rory and Lorelai. Lorelai was thinking of how many ways to kill Dean and what the town would say and act. Rory on the other hand was thinking about Jess and how he was her hero and she would never forget that night even if she wanted to. Well at least forget about most of it, some parts where better than many others. But was also thinking of how the town would act and if she saw Dean again. That made her whole body shiver in fear and her heart and eyes fill with hate toward him.

The Next Day

Jess and Luke opened the diner it was around 9:00 a.m. and where waiting for a call from Lorelai to tell them that they had gotten home safely. Lorelai and Rory were in the jeep driving home. As they pasted the 'Welcome To Stars Hollow' sigh Rory tensed.

"It's going to be ok I promise, plus Luke said Jess yelled at the whole town yesterday. After Kirk said someone said that he hurt you. He told them he didn't and to not sympathize you because you didn't want them too." Lorelai told Rory as the pasted the town square where everyone was looking at the car and started talking among each other.

"Also Luke and Jess each came up with 53 ways to kill Dean plus my 67 ideas. Would you mind if we killed him?" she added.

"No I hope he rots in hell like he is suppose to." Rory said her voice turning cold.

"Sorry I didn't…" Lorelai started

"It's ok mom really." Rory told her mother as they were pulling up their driveway to find Dean sitting on the porch. Lorelai stopped the car told Rory to stay in there. She got out of the car and started yelling at Dean. "You fucking bastard how dare you hurt my daughter. I let you into my house and treat you kindly and you go and do this. You must have some never coming back here after what happened." Lorelai shouted at him. Glaring at him.

Rory was in the car with her hands over her ears but could still her them and had her eyes closed. 'Why can't this all stop. I wish I had never met him I wish I was with Jess right now.'

Dean stood up and said "Well your daughter was cheating on my with that asshole nephew of Luke's."

"He you leave them out of this." Lorelai yelled

"I got them kissing and they flirt all the time. She is my girlfriend."

"She was your girlfriend not anymore. My god you are really stupid what you expected that coming over here and saying sorry would be enough? Well it isn't it will never be until you are in a 6 foot deep whole dead and buried with Dean 'the jackass' Forrester on it."

"Shut the hell up. Just don't be surprised when they start dating Rory ends up pregnant, drops out of high and runs away. Being all alone just like you." Dean said to her. Lorelai slapped him across the face and Rory got out of the car and yelled. "You bastard, don't you dare talk to my mom that way." Rory said and slapped him to.

Then stood behind Lorelai. He pushed Lorelai to the floor where she fainted from tripping over the rocks. "Mom" Rory yelled as he grabbed Rory's arm again and punched her in the face not slapped but punched. "You little cheating bitch. I tell you to not tell anyone and to stay away and you go and do that." Dean said as Rory was on the ground she picked up a rock threw it at him he kicked her in the stomach and she gasped for breath. He stood above her and was about to hit her again when she kicked him where it hurts and he fell to the floor. Rory crawling to the jeep and grabbed the cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello," Luke said on the other end of the line he was answered by a crying Rory.

"Lu... Lu... Luke help us he's… he's here." She got out as Dean got up and was walking toward her again. "Oh god no stay away from me, get away. You already hurt my mother and me enough now just leave. Rory shouted. While Luke heard that and was calling her name then heard something crash and Rory scream then the line when dead. 'Oh god no' Luke thought and dropped the phone and yelled. "Jess let's go now come on." Jess came out of the kitchen and said.

"What!"

"Everyone out of the diner now. Jess get them out of here now." He again yelled and Jess did as he was told while Luke when upstairs and grabbed his baseball bat, then came down stairs.

" God damn it, what's wrong Luke?" Jess asked

"It's Rory and Lorelai we have to go." Luke said after hearing those words Jess ran outside with Luke right behind him as the raced to the Gilmore's house. When they got there they saw Lorelai passed out on the ground as Rory was throwing rocks at Dean and shouting words people would never think Rory Gilmore would say. They both ran to Dean.

"You stupid fucking bastard" Jess yelled and Dean turned around and Jess punched him straight in the jaw then Luke kicked him.

"I've been wanting to hurt you for a long time." Luke said then he saw Lorelai and ran to her, "Lorelai wake up Lorelai!"

Right the Dean went to Jess who was trying to help Rory up, Dean kicked them both and Jess tripped him as Rory cried out in pain again and fainted in pain. Jess tackled Dean and started punching and kicking him then grabbed the bat Luke had left on the floor and hit Dean in the stomach with it.
