-1A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I thought I would get chapter 3 out there.

Disclaimer: Sorry I forgot to put one up last time. The only thing I own relating to Gilmore Girls in this storyline and season 2 and 3 on dvd.

Ellie saw the somewhat confused stare Jess was giving to Rory she decided to stay silent and get the aspirin until something happened.

A few seconds later when Ellie handed three aspirin and her bottle of water to Jess it was still silent. So Ellie caught Jess' eye and knew that look. She nodded and grabbed his leather jacket.

"I'm gonna go for a walk. It was nice to meet you Rory."

"You too." Rory weakly let out. With that Ellie was gone.

"What are you doing here?" Jess finally asked the question he had been dying to since he first walked in.

"I miss you." Rory thought better to be truthful and get it out there now.

"You can't do that." Jess shook his head and started walking around the small apartment trying to find something to do. Right now it was cleaning.

"Why not?" Rory was trying to keep her eye on him, but finding it extremely difficult until he stopped and looked at her.

"Because, I spill my heart out to you and you throw it in my face! Then when I finally have a great girlfriend and a life, you come back and announce that you miss me! This isn't fair!" Jess yelled at her. He didn't mean to get so mad, but the more he thought about it, the more hurt came back to him.

"And it's fair to come to my dorm room and ask me an impossible question, then throw it in my face that I didn't say yes?" Rory was too getting mad at how he was reacting. She didn't expect this.

"It's not what you said, it's how you said it."

"How could I have said it then?"

"Oh I don't know. Try, I don't think so, I'd have to think about it. Anything that wasn't screaming NO in my face."

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened the last time I saw you, but that was three years ago. Why can't you get over it?"

"I can't get over it because my heart was shattered into a million pieces. I gave it to you, and you stomped all over it and threw it back in my face!" Jess could tell he was on the verge of little tears. He couldn't let Rory see him hurt.

"I didn't do it on purpose!"

"You did! You wanted to hurt me like I hurt you!"

Rory thought about that night and how she felt. Maybe he was right. Maybe she did want to hurt him that night. She slept with Dean to hurt him too. He didn't know she lost her virginity to Dean, but in some twisted way it was a way at getting back at Jess. Suddenly her shoulders dropped and her and Jess were breathing heavily from being so angry, but were calming down.

"I don't even know anymore." Rory barely got out.

"You know I'm right."

"Well, maybe you are, but don't you think I had a right to be upset?"

"You did, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt."

"I wouldn't think about hurting you. Jess, I love you."

"No, don't say that."

"Why?"

"Because you don't mean it!" The anger and frustration was building up all over again.

"Yes I do mean it!"

"No, you don't. You don't love me. Not anymore, not ever." Jess was shaking his head as he was saying this not believing what he was hearing.

"I've always loved you." Rory tried to step towards him, but he stepped back.

"No, I have a girlfriend that loves me, and I love her too."

"You don't love me anymore?" Rory waited for what felt like and eternity, and when she didn't get an answer. She left with tears running down her face rapidly.

Ellie wished that she smoked then. She cursed her Asthma. Even as she was going down the stairs she could hear screaming. She knew that she should be gone for awhile. She got on the subway and got 'A Farewell To Arms' out of Jess' leather jacket pocket and began reading.

About an hour later Ellie thought it might be safe to go home. She quietly entered the apartment and only saw a light coming from underneath the door to the room she shared with Jess.

Quietly she opened the door to the bedroom and peaked in. There Jess was, sitting on the bed staring at 'Oliver Twist' with red eyes.

"Jess?"

Jess looked up. "Hey." It was quiet greeting. Barely audible.

"Are you okay?" Ellie took off the jacket and sat down on the bed next to Jess.

"I'm fine."

"So, Rory's the girl."

"What girl?"

"The one that holds your heart." Ellie looked down at her wrists and fingers.

"No, I'm over her." Jess put the book down and lifted Ellie's chin to look at him.

"Then why were you crying? Jess, you never cry."

"She just burnt me really bad."

"Okay." Ellie didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling about Rory coming to visit and was fighting back tears. One escaped and Jess held her.

"Hey, don't worry. I love you."

"I love you too."

Jess leaned down and caught Ellie's lips with his. Ellie reminded him of Rory in so many ways it was scary. They were so much alike, and yet, so different. Jess gently pushed Ellie so her back was completely on the bed, and she removed his shirt. The rest of the night was spent trying to forget about Rory, and for 45 minutes it worked. But she haunted the young couple the rest of the night.

--------------

Rory got back to her hotel confused and deeply hurt. He did still love her right? How can you just stop loving someone? The worst thing was, Rory had no one to talk to. She had always had her mother, but things had never been resolved. And Rory definitely knew that Lorelai wouldn't support her on this issue, and it was not the time to resolve things with her mom. Rory was already having enough trouble with Jess, she didn't need anymore.

Rory quietly changed and got in bed to think about what her next move would be. The conversation, if you could call it that, she had with Jess definitely wasn't what she was hoping for. But after the argument, she was tired and fell asleep soon after she got under the blankets.

A/N: Whoa! Drama I know. I also know that most of you hate Ellie because she's separating Rory and Jess, but I like Ellie. I dunno, I just do. Maybe because I created her, but hopefully she'll grow on you like mold, as she did me. Okie dokie then, please review and tell me what you think. I would greatly appreciate it. I loooove reviews. Go ahead, call me a whore, because that's what I am, a review whore. And apparently an authors note whore. They're only okay long at the end of chapters because it's the end, and there's not a story to get to. Ah, I gotta shut up now. So, review!
