I know I took my sweet time to update this, but I have no excuse. Just lazy. I'm one of those people that, when there writing a fanfic, they usually think they're better off just letting the story fly. Which is what I do. So I have no idea where this story is going, but as long as it's going, I'm good. I had not planned on the last chapter going where it did. I just planned on them being together and a miraculous ending. But when I'm writing, I start to get more realistic. But don't let this discourage you; I refuse to let this story have a sad ending.
Now, let's get on with it then!

"You're gonna have to tell me what happened at some point."
"I know, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna avoid it"
He laughed "Ok, bye Rory."
"Bye Jess."
She turned and walked to the door. Who was this guy? She hoped she still loved this amazing person he'd become.

Oh what mess
you've got the best of my heart
It broke and now it's just a joke
Cause you're moving right along
I'm still here and you're gone
Oh what shame
You know I didnt mean for the winds to change
Won't ever be the same
Cause the kisses that you blew
Could never ever move
She sat in her car. Just sat. Right in front of where he worked. And that wasn't Wal-Mart. That's what everyone assumed he was destined for. But she knew better. She always knew, she just didn't believe. They always say "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing" She thought of it the other way around. She hated that. I know what faith is. Why don't I have any? She wanted to have believed. She really did. She tried so hard. But in the end, she saw everyone on the cover, not from the "inside". She had been sitting there for about twenty minutes. Your gonna go in anyways, just go ahead and get it over with. But she wanted to stall. She loved to stall. I mean, it was about 12:30. And he hadn't come to talk to her. If he wanted to he could. There was a knock on the passengers side. She looked up. Ok, so maybe he did come, What's your point? She rolled down the window using the button on the driver's side.
"Hey"
"Sorry, I was just, uh, I thought you were on your lunch break"
"Nice"
"What?"
"Smooth"
"What!"
"Good excuse, I almost believed you."
"Oh"
"Come on"
"Where?" She would follow him, she just wanted details first
"There's a really good deli up the street, and technically, we both need to eat."
"Why don't we just take the car"
"This is New York, taxis don't stop for anyone or anything. Unless you plan on dying today, I suggest you get out of the car and walk."
"Oh"

"Ham on rye, no mayonnase" Jess screamed to the man over the counter.
"Ummm..."
"ORDER!"
"Hold on!"
"Do it!"
She screamed something over the counter, not exactly sure of what she ordered, he pulled on her arm to the end of the counter and grabbed their sandwiches and paid. He chose an empty table and sat down, Rory sat across from him.
"What the hell Jess..."
"What?"
"Think you could've been a little nicer to me up there?"
"You wouldn't survive twenty-four hours in New York"
"Why?"
"These people don't wait for anything, they get pissed if you take ten seconds to decide what you want."
"Why?"
"This is coming from the girl who wants to travel to third world countries."
"What!"
"You need to rough up, I had to rough down, sometimes this is what it takes to make it here."
"Whatever"
"So, you gonna tell me NOW?"
"I was hoping you forgot about that..."
"Well, I didn't, so spill."
"This may not be the best place OR time."
"Rory, there's NEVER gonna be "the perfect time". So just tell me, so you won't be wondering what my reaction would be."
"One rule."
"Deal"
"You can't hurt me or storm out and leave."
"That's two rules"
"Oh whatever..."
"Now is NOT a good time to get aggravated with me"
"Duh"
"Just get it over w-"
"I slept with Dean"
"Man, way to grab the bull by the horns"
"You told me to just get it over with!"
"Again, not the best time..."
"Sorry"
"When...?"
"No comment"
"RORY"
"Two weeks after... after you came"
"What!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Wait a minute..."
"What?"
"I thought Dean was married..."
Rory looked down at her plate. She was humiliated.
I think I need some time by myself
Without anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
I need to go far away
A few years back would be ok
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
"Why?"
"I don't know"
"When was the last time?"
"What?"
"When was the last time you... were with him?"
Oh no. "About three days ago."
"Wow, I was NOT expecting that."
"I'm sorry"
"Sometimes Rory, that's just not good enough." he stood up and left, leaving Rory alone in the deli.
I think you need some time by yourself
Without anybody else
You just need to unwind
In your time machine
You need to go far away
A few years back would be ok
You just need to unwind
In your time machine
All the things that we could change
things that we could change
Now we'll never be the same
I think I need some time by myself
Without anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
I need to go far away
A few years back would be ok
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
By Myself
I don't need anybody else
I just need to unwind
In my time machine
In my time machine

Don't worry, that is not the end of the story. Again, not where I thought this story was heading. And I definetly didn't plan on putting a song in. But I like the song, and it fit really well. Please R&R!
Song lyrics - The Click Five, Time Machine. (I left a verse out, because it didn't really fit with the story)
