A/n- my second chapter. I hope this ones good. I forgot to say that my characters are pretty au, because that's how I want them to be. And I hate dean with a passion.

Disclaimer- I still own nothing. Not even the chapter titles. Sigh.

Chapter two- Why Put a New Address on the Same Old Loneliness

Rory's POV

"Bye Dean." I said after I kissed him goodbye.

"Bye Rory." Dean replied walking away.

"Mom!" I yelled semi-angry.

"What hon?" Loerlai came running in from the living room.

"I forgot to tell you that Paris made up a story about why Jess was here last night."

"Oh, uhm…"

"Yeah she told Dean that she liked Jess and that she asked me to bring him here."

"Wow. Well okay, hon I'm sorry I kind of, uh…" Lorelai tried to explain.

"Yeah you talked to Dean. I know you didn't know the story, which was my fault. I know you were just trying to help which was good. He got crazy mad, again. Then he told me that I can't be friends with Jess anymore." I stopped as relief washed over moms face. "Mom how can you be happy about this? Dean told me that I can't hang out with my friend! I said okay because I love Dean, but now I'm not so sure it was the right thing to do!" I rambled.

Lorelai's face fell. "Hon, I think Dean is right. Don't be friends with Jess. It will make everything better. Don't doubt yourself."

I was stunned. I couldn't believe it! "Mom! Do you like Dean better than me or something?"

"Rory…"

"God! Just leave me alone!" I yelled and ran into my room and looked the door. I put on really loud music and lay on my bed. I can't deal with this. I need to talk to Jess.

I picked up the phone and called Luke's. Please let jess pick up. Please!

"Hello." Jess answered annoyed.

"Hey. It's me Rory. But pretend you're talking to someone else."

"Why?"

"Just do it please Jess!"

"Sure." Jess said still confused.

"Meet me at the bridge at midnight tonight but don't tell anyone, please!" I begged him sounding like I might cry. I need Jess in my life and I don't care!

"Okay seeya Ayn." Jess answered using Ayn from my favorite author Ayn Rand.

"Thanks. Bye." I hung up feeling sort of happy.

Jess's POV

I hung up the phone to find Luke staring at me. "What?" I asked annoyed as I got back to work.

"Who's Ayn, Jess? I thought you were in love with Rory." Luke asked amused, while following me around. "Or is Ayn a pet name for Rory. Do you guys meet behind Dean's back and use them 'cus they are just so cute!"

I lost it then. "Ayn is a friend from New York that I keep in touch with. Happy? Now I think I have some work to do." I yelled as I slammed my rag on the table and started cleaning.

"Oh yeah, that was Rory." Luke mumbled under his breath with a smile on his face.
