PART 3
Jess's mother : But what are you doing here? Luke sent you back again?
Jess: Hey mom. No, Luke didn't send me back, I left, and I brought someone with me.
He took Rory to him.
Jess: Mom, this is Rory. My girlfriend.
Jess's mother: Nice to meet you Rory.
Rory: Same here, ma'am.
Jess's mother: Oh, you can call me Liz. Come on in, we have to discuss a little.
Jess and Rory entered and folloed Liz to the living room.
Liz: Ok...so I'm maybe going to be a little harsh, but...what are you doing here?
Jess: Well, Rory and I have been dating for about a month and a half now and let's say that the situation didn't please Stars Hollow's people. It was unlivable. So Rory and I asked to have a right to speak in town meeting, which was tonight. We told them what we were feeling, and we left.
Liz: Nobody liked that?
Rory: Yes, nobody. Not even my mother, or Luke, or wven my best friend.
Liz: I'm sorry for you. You fit so well together!
Jess: You're the first to tell.
Liz: That's an honor!
They laughed a little.
Liz: Ok, so I assume that if you are here, that's because you have nowhere else to go.
Jess: We can't hide anything from you.
Liz: Well you can stay here, we'll talk about this later. Take the time you need to get back on track and sleep well. Don't do anything I would do!
Jess and Rory: Promised!
Liz went to her room and closed the door. Jess got up.
Jess (giving Rory a hand): Come on, there's a bed waiting for us.
Rory took Jess's hand and followed him to his room. There, Jess closed the door behind them. He went to take avay the sheets and invited Rory to lay down, and did the same. He took her closer to him, who let out all her pain and frustration. Jess couldn't do anything more than hold her tighter, try to comfort her and repeat her that he loved her and that it was going to be alright. After a while, they both fell asleep, in each other's arms, exhausted by the recent events and the emotions. When they woke up the newxt morning, around 10, they were still in the same position. Jess opened his eyes first, yawned widely, looked around to remember where he was, and kissed Rory's forehead to wake her up gently. She lifted up her head to look at him, blinking her eyes and smiled. He answered to her smile.
Jess: Hey...
Rory: Hey...
Jess: How are you doing?
Rory: Oh...a little better...
Jess: I understand. You hungry?
Rory: A little, yeah.
Jess: Let's get up, I'll make us some breakfast.
Rory: Hum, just before, can I change my clothes?
Jess: Sure, but you'll have to wear some of my clothes 'cause yours are still in the car.
Rory: No problem.
They smile at each other. Jess got up and went to his drawers. He took a black t-shirt and a jean out, and give them to Rory.
Rory: Thanks.
Jess: You welcome. I'll let you get changed and go make breakfast.
Rory: Ok.
They kissed briefly and Jess got out of the room. Rory took the oppotunity to evaluate what was composing her boyfriend's world. A few posters of his favorited bands, a shelf almost empty, a closet and a dresser, without forgetting the bed and a bedside table. Very simple, but it was enough. After dressing up with Jess's clothes, Rory took a look at Jess's books. There was a sample of Oliver Twist, Howl, and a few Hemigways. Interesting, she told herself. She then got out of the room and met Jess in the kitchen.
