Rory stopped her car at a rundown old gas station and after filling her car, went inside to get something to eat. She knew her mom would be worried and upset, but Rory didn't want her mother to know where she was going. For once, Rory didn't want every move she made to be charted, analyzed, and previewed by her mother. Rory pulled out her cell phone and searched her contacts for a number that she had once known by heart but now did not know. Rory proceeded to dial Jess Mariano's number.

Lorelai stood up, "Ok, we should call somebody. Who would she tell?"

"Umm, who is Rory friends with? What's her name, um, Paris. That loud blonde girl?"

"Well Luke, I don't think she would tell 'that loud blonde girl' if she didn't tell me," Lorelai snapped. Luke put his hands up in mock surrender, taken aback. "Luke, I'm so sorry. I'm just really worried," Lorelai apologized.

"It's fine, it's fine," an awkward silence fell between the two. Suddenly, Luke's cell phone rang, breaking the quiet.

"Hello?...Jess!...What?...Ok…Ok…Bye." Luke hung up the phone and looked at Lorelai. "Rory's with Jess. He says she's pretty upset, but not to come because she said she didn't want to worry you more or something like that," Luke said, slightly confused.

"Not want to worry me? If she thinks I'm not worried by now, than…Jess! Why did she go to Jess and not me?" Lorelai was confused, upset, and angry with Rory. She wasn't too happy with Jess as well. "Well, I'm going over there," Lorelai said intent on seeing her daughter.

"Lorelai, wait. I think maybe you should respect what Rory wants. Maybe you should just wait, until, like, tomorrow," Luke suggested hesitantly.

"Wait? My daughter goes missing and you want me to wait!" Lorelai exploded.

"We found Rory, she's safe. Jess will take care of everything until tomorrow," Luke tried to comfort her.

"Jess will take care of it? Jess! Since when has Jess taken care of anything and since when do you know how to take care of my daughter better than me?"

"Lorelai, calm down. You're upset, just, just…Let's go back to Stars Hollow and wait until tomorrow. Everything will be fine until tomorrow at least, than we can sort it all out," Luke led Lorelai out of the apartment and they drove back to Stars Hollow.

"Rory, it's ok," Jess patted Rory awkwardly on the back. They were in Jess' dilapidated apartment in New York City.

"It's not okay," Rory sobbed, "I really, really loved him, but now he has another girlfriend." Rory was crying to hard to see the pained look on Jess' face.

"Rory, stop. This isn't you. You don't cry over guys. Pull yourself together," Jess said, suddenly harsh. He loved Rory, and didn't want to upset her, but he knew he had to say this to her.

Rory sniffed and said, "Ugh, I'm so sorry about this Jess. I just didn't know who to go to."

"It's fine. Why didn't you go to your mom though?"

"She just broke up with Luke, and isn't to happy either. I didn't want to bother her with my problems," Rory said.

"She broke up with Luke?" Jess asked surprised.

"Yeah, why?" Rory asked, soon after realizing that Jess didn't live in Stars Hollow anymore.

"I didn't realize she was going out with Luke in the first place, but I called him thinking that he would be able to tell Lorelai you were here.

"You called Luke? What? He probably told my mom, I really didn't want her to know that I was coming here!"

"Rory, it's fine. Luke's…well, um, I don't know ," Jess said, wondering if he shouldn't have called him.

"No! It's not okay, I have to go back to Stars Hollow," Rory said, standing up and walking towards the door.

"I'll drive you," Jess said, and stood up as well.

"No, Jess, it's fine. I've bothered you enough tonight."

"Rory, I'm going to drive you, get your keys," Jess said with a tone of finality.

"Fine, thanks. Really, thanks a lot," Rory said.

They got into Rory's car and began the drive in silence to Stars Hollow.

Logan boarded the plane from London to Hartford, cursing under his breath. He didn't know how Rory had found out about Rebecca, but he had to fix it.

"Five minutes to departure, five minutes to departure," a voice blared out from the desk at boarding area.

Logan rolled his eyes, and got ready to board the plane.

Jess parked in the driveway of Rory's house and they went inside. Rory was thankful that her mom had left the door unlocked as always. Jess stopped outside the house.

"Well, good luck with everything," he said awkwardly.

"Oh. Um, would you like to come inside or something?" Rory asked, matching Jess' awkwardness with her own.

"Sure," Jess went in and sat down on the couch. Rory got two glasses of water and sat down next to him.

"Rory, did you think about it?" Jess asked.

"Think about what?"

"Coming with me, living with me," Jess said. At this Rory sighed, she hadn't really considered it when he first asked her. At the time when Jess first proposed this idea, it seemed crazy, ludicrous. She had her whole life, and was definitely not ready to spend the rest of it with one guy. She was all for commitment, but she was only in her early twenties. Look what had happened to Dean for example. Now, she wasn't so sure. Maybe it would be a good idea.

As silence fell, the space between Rory and Jess seemed to get smaller and smaller as they got closer. No! Rory's brain yelled at her. Logan? Remember him! Logan is with Rebecca! Rory reminded herself. As if in slow motion, the gap between them was closed. Time seemed to speed up again as Rory let herself be kissed by Jess.

However, the moment didn't last long, as the door opened as Logan entered the room.

Jess and Rory broke apart with a start.

"Rory! What the hell?" Logan said, advancing on them. Anger radiated from every part of his body. "I'm gone for two freakin' months, and I come back to see that you have hooked up with writer-boy? You were the one talking about all that commitment shit, and here you are with another guy? What the hell is with you Rory?" Logan yelled.

"Excuse me? Hooking up with "writer-boy?" Writer-boy has a name, and it's Jess! I went out with him long before I went out with you, and excuse me while I say he was a much better boyfriend!" Rory yelled back, her previous sadness morphing into anger. "Anyway, it's no different than what you did. Rebecca?"

"Rebecca is no one! It's your fault that you didn't wait to hear my freaking explanation," Logan shouted.

"It's her fault that while you were in London you hooked up with some Brit?" Jess shouted at Logan. "You need to figure out you priorities man," Jess said before shoving Logan so hard he hit the wall. Logan shoved him back causing Jess to raise his fist and hit Logan in the stomach.

"Jess! Logan! Stop!" Rory yelled. As angry as she was, she did not want a fight in her house. Both guys ignored her as they continued to hit each other. The door opened for a second time that evening as Luke and Lorelai came in.

Luke intervened and pulled the two guys apart and yelled with a tone of finality, "STOP!"
