Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls
I shut the door and slid down against it. I had tried not to cry and had been doing really well but I couldn't hold back anymore. Paris came out of her room and saw me crying. I think that was the first time I had ever seen her do something a normal person would do she walked over to me and sat down next to me with her arm around my shoulders.
"What happened is Lizzie ok" she asked.
"Yea she's fine she was released"
"Then what's wrong" she asked.
"We
broke up"
"No way"
I nodded.
"What happened"
"He kissed Sarah"
"Cheek"
"If it was on the cheek we'd still be together"
"Rory don't cry he's not worth it"
"That's what I tried to tell myself but I can't help it"
"Rory didn't you kiss Jess while you were with Dean maybe it was just a mistake"
"You're right Paris I did kiss Jess while with Dean I also broke up with Dean the next day."
"Ok bad example but maybe Jess..."
"Really wants to be with Sarah?"
"No maybe he was just looking for some comfort he was really worried about Lizzie"
"I was too but I wasn't kissing every guy who said my name"
"Jess has known Sarah a long time"
"I know which is why I think he needs time to figure out if he wants to be with her or not"
"And if he doesn't will you take him back"
"No" I said.
"Then it's really over between you two"
I nodded.
---------------------------------
"Did he come out yet" I walked into the suite.
"Nope" Ben shook his head.
"Poor guy" I walked into his room "Hey you hungry?"
He shook his head.
"Thirsty?" he shook his head.
"Have you gone to any of your classes" I asked.
He nodded.
"What about the ones with Rory"
He shook his head.
"Does she still think Lizzie was released"
He nodded.
I took his phone off the nightstand and started calling his professors.
"Ok you can pick up all the work you missed and the work they're doing now from all three classes you have with her"
He nodded.
"That means now" I said.
He grunted then got up.
-------------------------------
"What do you mean she's in the hospital" I asked.
"He lied she was never released" Lily told me.
"Have you been going to school" I asked.
"Yeah of course "
"Good I'll go see Lizzie and apologize for not going to see her"
"Don't tell her about Jess he doesn't need anymore stress and him thinking she's mad at him will stress him out more"
"What's wrong with him" I asked.
"Not that you care but he's really upset he hasn't eaten since you guys broke up he doesn't speak at all"
"At least you don't have to listen to this one crying all night" Paris turned off the TV and walked over to where we were standing by the door.
"Both of you are miserable why don't you just get back together"
"No" my phone rang. It was Jess "You answer it I don't want to talk to him."
She took the phone from me rolling her eyes.
"Hello... shit... yeah I'll come get him" she hung up the phone "he's drunk at the pub down the street"
"Well have fun going to get him"
"Rory come on"
"Fine" I grabbed my keys.
We pulled up to the pub and Lily jumped out of the car and started running. She turned around and walked back pulling me out of the car.
"I'm coming I'm coming" I followed her. Jess was the only one in there since it was still pretty early. He had his head on the counter and he was running his finger around the rim of a shot glass begging for more.
'I'm so sorry about this" Lily apologized to the bartender.
"Don't worry about it he was pretty good company until he started singing although he does have a pretty good voice ever thought about becoming a singer" she asked the halfway passed out Jess. He laughed.
"You Rory" the bartender asked.
I nodded.
"I don't blame you for breaking up with him but don't you think he's learned his lesson"
"I think he needs to try and see other people"
"Well you haven't exactly been with a lot of guys" she said.
"I'm sorry do you know me" I asked.
"He talked about you never shut up about you actually" she said "he said you had only ever been with that bagboy giant"
"Yea but I know I only want to be with Jess he needs to be that sure"
"Check the jacket pocket"
I reached into his jacket pocket and there was nothing there. I reached into the other pocket and took out two pieces of paper.
"Pro con lists" I looked at them.
Rory

Her love of Ayn Rand is a conversation topic
We like the same music
She's the most beautiful girl I've ever met
She never stops smiling
She's smarter than anyone else I know
She made me care about something other than myself
I owe getting through school almost completely to her
If I didn't have her in my life it wouldn't be worth living
I love her more than anything

Sarah
Pro:

She hates almost all my favorite bands
She's not Rory
She lives in New York
She's not Rory
I don't love her in that way
"I think you won" Lily smiled.
"It doesn't matter" I helped Lily get Jess out of the chair.
"Wait" the bartender said "here you forgot this" she stuffed something into Jess's pocket.
