"What did you think the first time you saw me?"
"Well, at first I saw you're pictures on the mantle...you looked happy and naive. You thought the world was a good place. I just...wanted to ruin you so bad, it hurt. And I know that sounds horrible, but it really wasn't."
"I can't believe you!"
"Well, Rory, I don't know...Am I supposed to be nice all the time, just because you want me to be? I mean, I am just saying the truth. You can't think of yourself right now...think about Hannah and Nick right now. Because neither of us can afford to be selfish. Okay? So, just forget about everything."
"I'm not going to, Jess. Everything that happened to us...it was all something that we can't just forget. I don't understand how you can just erase all of those years in you're head like that!"
"I'm not."
"Yes. You are! Don't lie to me." She was on the verge of tears now. "I want you to be honest right now."
He gave her a heavy sigh. "Maybe...sometimes I think that if we just started over again, we can work it out,."
"All of those years, Jess! What the hell?"
"Well, I guess you completed your goal. I am screwed up, Jess. Now I am. So...get your trophy." Rory bit her lip, almost hiding her head in shame. He shook his head, and lifted her head to look at him.
"I told you, Rory. As the days went on...you grew on me. I had never met anyone like you. You wanted to be perfect because the town wanted you to be perfect...but, you couldn't. Because...because you're mother was crazy, you had grandparents that could put together an army, you're father was a flake, you liked me but you stayed with Dean, and Luke...Luke was really more of a father than Chris will ever be."
"How do you know his name?" She managed to whisper.
"Lorelai mentioned him one day."
"Oh."
"People!" Lorelai stormed into the room. "We need you two to stop fighting. Luke and I are tired...please. I know it's hard. But, please get to bed. You will feel better after a nice night of sleep." She saw no one had reacted.
"Mom. We are trying to talk...please leave us alone."
"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, I know you are upset with Jess, and Jess is upset with you. But, this is ridiculous. Not even my parents and I fight that much. And we fight a lot." Lorelai tried to bring humor into the conversation but failed miserably.
"Are Hannah and Nick awake?" Rory whispered.
"We don't need them in this situation, Rory." Jess said harshly.
"I can ask where my kids are! Okay?" Rory exclaimed, tired of fighting. She looked at Lorelai for an answer, but she just stared at them. "You know what? I was going to leave next week, but...maybe I should go tonight..."
"Rory. No." Lorelai tried.
"Yeah, mom. It's time. I can't bare to stand here and fight with everyone. I don't want to, and I won't. Now, I'm going to get Nick...so we can go back to the apartment. It will be the best for all of us."
"Rory, no!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Both of you are just...infuriating. I need both of you to make up, so we can all be happy–,"
"It's not that easy, Lorelai." Jess interrupted.
"You two are going to stay the weekend at Luke's apartment. Alone. I think that it will help you if you talk somewhere other than here."
"What are you feeling right now?" Jess asked softly.
"I don't think that counts as a question." She flashed him a small smile. Jess gave her a questioning look. "Because...you always now what I'm feeling. I don't need to tell you what I'm thinking or if I'm sad, or happy. Doesn't matter because you can always now, no matter if I'm in the most unreadable mood. You can always see right through me."
"Does that scare you?"
"Hey, only one question at a time."
"You're avoiding the question..." Jess smirked.
"Yup. You know it." Rory smiled. He leaned in and brushed his lips on her's. She smiled against his lips. "Mmm. Thanks." She pulled away. He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Did you just thank me for kissing you?"
"I guess so." Rory giggled. Jess just rolled his eyes and she put her head on his shoulder. "My turn." She said softly. "Do you love me?"
They both entered Luke's apartment. Rory was shutting him out, and Jess was just minding his own business. He didn't want to get into the fight again, but he didn't want her to leave. Even though he would never admit it.
The next thing he knew, Rory had asked him to sit on the floor, next to her. He guessed she was lonely, even though he was three feet away from her. But, now, now they were as close as humanly possible.
"Jess." She tapped on his shoulder, as if he was sleeping and she was trying to wake him up. The reality was he just zoned out for five seconds. "Let's play a game..."
"Yes." Jess answered. "Of course. Rory, don't ever doubt it for a second."
"Uh, Jess." Rory bit her lip. "I don't hate you."
"I know."
"What kind of game?"
"Questions."
"Huh?"
"Don't you mean, 'huh.'" Rory smiled.
"No, I mean, Huh, what the hell is questions?" Jess smirked.
"I ask you a question and you have to answer me truthfully, then I ask you a question and you have to answer me with the truth. And trust me, I will know if you are lying, mister. So, don't even try to cheat."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay." Jess repeated, nodding.
"How about you ask me one more question and then we go to sleep? 'Cause I'm dead tired." Rory sighed. He just nodded.
"Marry me?"

A/N: Alright. Well, I have thought about this A LOT. And i have decided that this is the last chapter of Please Don't Cry. I know, I suck. But, I decided that I wanted to leave it there. I had so much fun writing this, I really did. And everyone who reviewed were amazing! I love you all! Everyone. My readers, my friends who helped me when I got stuck, and my lovely and great reviewers! thank you all so much. Really. This was so much fun, and I think that this fic has turned out great and wonderful.
I think that I might do a sequel...maybe just a short sequel. A one-shot, or maybe more than one chapter... i'm not sure yet. All I know is that I hope that you guys enjoyed the story and i love you all so much. Thank you (again) Guys, if you want a sequel tell me. Because I'm really not sure yet. But, i might do it if I get enough people that want it.
