One month later

Jess opened his eyes and saw Rory laying beside him. He smiled and ran his hands through her hair.

"Rory, wake up," Jess lightly shook her. This affair had been going on for a month now. She told Logan that Friday nights and Wednesday nights she had a creative writing program she goes to and instead she goes to see Jess. They talk, read, listen to music, kiss, basically they'd just have fun.

"Jess?" She opened her eyes and smiled. She looked at the time and got up. She brushed her hair and started to apply her makeup.

"Rory, I love you but we can't do this anymore,"

"Do what?" Rory asked with innocence in her eyes.

"The cheating, the lies, it's all going to catch up with us," Jess said. Rory had now stopped getting ready and stared at Jess.

"So you don't want to see me anymore?" Rory asked.

"Rory wait I didn't…"

"Or did you find someone else?"

"Rory, no I ha…"

"Do you not love me?" Rory asked now with tears in her eyes.

"Shhh," Jess put his hand on her mouth. "I love you, I want to see you, and there is no one else for me, but Rory you're married, you have someone else,"

"I'm going to be late," Rory said ignoring what he had just said. She got up and kissed him softly on the lips.

"Yeah, see you on Friday," Jess watched her get into her car and drive off.

He walked out of the house and decided to go to a music store. He got into the subway waiting for his stop.

"Leave me alone Jake," A girl shouted entering the subway. A guy who had piercing everywhere came in running after her.

"Come on Nikki, why are you being like this," He asked. She took a seat across from Jess.

"Why am I being like this? You slept with her, my best friend, leave me alone, we're over," She said letting her black hair fall in her face.

"We're not done," He screamed. Finally Jess couldn't take it anymore. Once the subway stopped he got up and pushed the guy out.

"You are done," Jess screamed at the guy. He sat down beside the girl who was now looking at her shoes.

"Thanks," She said softly.

"No problem, I'm Jess Mariano,"

"Nikki Scott," She smiled and looked up. Jess sighed. She had piercing blue eyes just like Rory.

"So, this is my stop," They both said at the same time getting up. She laughed.

"So um for saving me from my creep ex-boyfriend the least I can do is buy you a coffee," She said. Jess stopped in his tracks. He was being asked on a date.

"Sure coffee's good," He said.

"So Mariano, what do you do?"

"I'm a lawyer,"

"Big shot huh?"

"Pretty much, how about you?"

"Not as big, I own a small record store," She said walking into a coffee shop. Jess followed her in and sat beside her.

"So Mariano, how does it feel like to defend people?" She asked.

"Okay I guess, it pays the bills, keeps me busy,"

"You don't seem like the lawyer type,"

"You can't judge a book by its cover,"

"Oh yeah you can, first off you can tell by the title and author whether is looks like a good book, then you look at the picture and if it intrigues you, you read the back. Never say you can't judge a book by its cover because you can," She smiled.

"So tell me something, what type am I?" Jess asked her.

"Maybe a writer or editor, you're are holding onto a girl but need to let go, and you are defiantly a rebel in the heart," She nonchalantly said. Jess mouth dropped.

"How did you..,"

"First I'm not physic, second a writer or editor came from the book in your pocket, the girl came from your face when I asked you to coffee, and rebel you can tell from the way you have that dangerous look in your eyes," She called the waiter over towards them and then ordered coffee. They talked for hours and hours, until he said he would stop by her shop after work.

Friday

Rory walked down the street looking around her. She had just broken it off with Logan and wanted to tell Jess. She walked up to a house and knocked on the door. Someone grabbed her hand and pulled her in.

"Jesus Jess," She said tripping over her foot.

"We need to talk," He looked down at the ground.

Isn't it cold outside?


When it feel like no ones loving you


But I'm watching you


And I'll never hold you down


And they say


That souls can never fade


But along the way


It seem your shadow was erased

"Ok, so talk, I have to talk to you too," Rory sat down on the couch.

"Look Rory we've been doing this thing for awhile right?"

"Yeah,"

"And, I can't do it, I think we need to stop seeing each other, I mean for gods sake Rory you're married," Jess screamed. Rory eyes were watering.

"You don't want to see me anymore,"

"God, Rory, you didn't expect this to go on forever did you?"

"Well…"

"I met someone, and we're going to go out on a date tomorrow, and I think we need to stop this lying," Jess said. Rory got up and walked out of the door. Jess followed her. "Rory, you were my first love but I need to let go," He screamed. Rory stopped and turned around. She pulled out a folder and threw it at him. Paper went flying everywhere as she started to walk back to the bus stop. Jess picked up some of the sheets and sighed. They were divorce papers. He went back into his house and threw the papers down on the table. His phone rang.

Life is jaded, love had faded


Let me take you away from here oh


Let me kiss you, they won't miss you


Let me lift you away from here

"Where are you?"

"At home,"

"How long till you can get to 51st and 14th," Nikki asked.

"Um 20 minutes,"

"Ok, dress smart casual,"

"Wait what is smar…?"

"Bye Mariano," She hung up. Jess put on a leather jacket, stuck a book in his pocket and walked up to his car. He drove up to 51st and 14th. He got out his cell and called Nikki.

"I'm outside the Starbucks," She said into the phone and then hanging up. Jess smirked and walked up to the coffee shop and saw her sitting drinking a coffee. He slid in the seat across from her.

"So why did I have to dress smart casual, whatever that is?" He asked her.

"Come on, I know an great place we can hang out, and I wanted you to dress smart casual because I felt like it," Nikki got up and started walking into an alley. They came to a ladder attached to a wall. She started to climb it and Jess followed.

"Don't fall and don't look down," She screamed at him. He looked down and sighed, they had climbed a lot. They finally reached the top. It was breezy and cool, you could see a lot of New York.

"This is my favorite spot in all of New York," She smiled and looked over at Jess.

"Yeah, I can see why," Jess put his arm around her. He couldn't stop thinking about Rory.

Aren't you paranoid?


When it feels like someone's watching you?


But I'm protecting you


And you need not be afraid


And they said


To follow voices in your head


And that's where I fed


My soul when I was dead

Rory sat at the bridge wondering what had she done. She had two guys now only has one. Her phone started to ring.

"Hello,"

"Rory Gilmore?"

"Yeah?"

"This is Laura from the New York Times, you gave us your resume a couple of weeks ago and we have an offering for you,"

"Really?" Rory asked sitting up.

"Rory, this is the New York Times, we don't joke, we have a book opinion section, it's not that big but you could work your way up to the top,"

"I'd love to do it, I love to read so it would be perfect," Rory said forgetting her problems.

"Okay, you can start a week from this Monday," Laura said. Rory smiled thinking about the new job.

Life is jaded, love had faded


Let me take you away from here oh


Let me kiss you, they won't miss you


Let me lift you away from here
