Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls
A/N: I am so mad about this week's episode of Gilmore Girls(The Real Paul Anka). I was so excited when I saw the preview and the kiss but yea needless to say it didn't go my way. Rory is getting so annoying I'm thinking of boycotting but one person isn't gonna make a difference anyone interested in helping me (and all other people who hate how the show is going) out email me. Restore Gilmore to its original greatness. Last week's episode was almost there and I was happy but they killed it this week. Ok rant over on with the story. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews by the way
Lorelai' POV
How is a mother supposed to feel when her daughter is at the hospital getting bandaged up because she was thrown across a room into a wall and is now bleeding internally? Sad mad worried hopeless scared. Yea that about sums it up. As bad as I feel I think Jess feels 10 times worse. He's blaming himself and he shouldn't.
"Jess there was no way you could've known" I tired to comfort him. It was weird my daughter isn't half as hurt as she could've been and instead of thanking the person who saved her profusely I'm trying so hard to convince him it wasn't his fault. I swear he was about to turn himself in for aiding and abetting or worse. How can you convince someone that something that had nothing to do with them at all well at least not directly isn't at fault?
"I should've caught up with them sooner" he looked like he was about to cry.
"Jess you couldn't you had no clue where you were going" I said. He shook his head. I felt bad for him it was weird. I should be worried about Rory but I'm more worried about Jess I know Rory will be fine but Jess is really beating himself up.
------------------------------------------
Jess's POV
"Are you sure she's ok for skiing" Luke asked.
"Luke I'm fine" she smiled.
How can she be fine after everything that happened? How can she still smile?
"Well it's almost 9:00 anyways lets just hang out here tonight" Lorelai sat on the floor "TRUTH OR DARE!"
Rory laughed and sat down across from her. Luke sat next to Lorelai so I sat next to Rory who thankfully was talking to me again and broke up with Chuck!
"Rory truth or dare"
"Truth"
"Who do you like?"
"I changed my mind I pick dare"
"Kiss someone in this room who isn't related to you oh and on the mouth and for um 45 seconds"
Rory turned towards me and smiled apologetically then kissed me. Lorelai started counting but I didn't hear anything past 2. When we finally pulled apart Luke was staring at us wide eyed and Lorelai was laughing and looking at her watch.
"I said 45 seconds not 4.5 minutes"
"Luke truth or dare"
"Truth"
"What's in your pocket?"
"Uh can we just skip that question and come back to it"
"Sure"
"Great ok Lorelai truth or dare"
"Truth"
"If I asked you to marry me what would you say"
"Yes"
"Ok good to know Rory I believe you can ask me a question now"
"What's in your pocket?"
"An engagement ring" he took it out of his pocket and opened it. He turned to face Lorelai and opened his mouth to speak but she just took the ring and threw her arms around his neck causing him to fall over. It's a good thing we're on carpet. He took the ring from her hand and slipped it on her finger. I was hoping that this might stop the meddling they had planned that Rory was oblivious to but I was wrong after about five minutes of her staring at the ring she sat back up and continued with the game.
"Jess truth or dare"
"Dare"
"I dare you not to put gel in you hair tomorrow"
"No way I pick truth"
"Who do you like?"
"Can I talk to you for a second" I stood up and walked to the corner of the room. Lorelai followed me and looked at me innocently.
"What" she asked.
"You don't think I see right through this"
"Hey we're just doing what you did"
"No we had a good reason you guys are good together but you trying to get me and Rory together will just hurt a lot of people"
"Who Shane she heard me talking to Luke about the plan and she seemed to think it was a good idea said she hoped we'd speed up the process of getting you two together"
"Just trust me this isn't a good idea"
"It's times like these I liked the Jess who didn't give a shit better" she walked back into the room.
"Jess it's your turn"
"Lorelai truth or dare"
"Dare"
"I dare you to give up coffee for 24 hours"
"Truth"
Rory whispered in my ear "weirdest dream"
"What was your weirdest dream?"
"Fine no coffee"
"Rory truth or dare"
"Truth"
"Who do you like?"
"I really thought you were going to let it go"
"You've already changed once Rory you can't do it again"
"Jess ok I like Jess" she got up and walked into the other part of the suite.
I followed her glaring at Lorelai on my way out. She honestly looked sorry though. Rory was sitting on one of the beds with her head in her hand humming Should I Stay or Should I Go. She must have heard my footsteps because she slowly lifted her head and looked at me. Her blue eyes teary and red but still the deepest most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. I sat down on the bed where she sat and noticed that she was wearing baggy sweatpants and a huge shirt. You could barely tell where her frail body was in the sea of clothes she seemed to be drowning in. She wasn't as over it as she seemed. Tears finally started to fall from her eyes. I pulled her closer to me. She had her head on my shoulder. She was soaking my shirt but I didn't care.
"I don't want things to be weird promise me it won't be weird again" she cried "we just started talking again and I know it was my fault we stopped talking in the first place but I don't want it to happen again Shane and I are just learning how to be civil to each other again and you two seem happy together and I know you probably don't care about me but…"
"Hey don't say that" I moved her head "I care about you Rory I always will" She smiled and put her head back on my shoulder.
-----------------------------------
Lorelai's POV
I walked into the other side of the suite where Jess and Rory were supposed to be sleeping. In separate beds of course. They weren't both supposed in the same bed but they were.
"What do we do" I asked.
"They're fully clothed"
"I'm not blind"
"They probably just fell asleep leave them"
"Fine"
--------------------------------
Jess's POV
"No let go of me please let go go away please" I heard Rory say. I woke up and saw he sleeping in the same bed as me and tossing and turning. I figured she must be talking about me so I got up and walked to the other bed and lied back down.
"No get off of me leave me alone" she cried softly. I got up and sat on my knees next to Rory's bed.
"Please just leave me alone just leave me alone"
"Rory" I tapped her lightly but she didn't wake up.
"You're hurting me" she whispered "stop."
"Rory" I tried again. She didn't wake up.
"Why are you doing this" she cried a little louder. Then she seemed to be a little more rested and stopped turning and crying.
------------------------------------
Rory's POV
I saw Jess he was blurry but he was there. I thought I was still dreaming. His eyes were filled with something I hadn't seen in them before I think it was concern but there was something else I hadn't ever seen. I want to just tell him I love him. I know it sounded crazy I mean we're only 13 what do we know about love but I know that he's the only person that makes me feel like being me is ok and I don't have to be perfect. He doesn't want me to be the town princess he makes me want to take risks.
"Jess"
"Yea" he answered.
"I love you" I pulled him closer to me and kissed him thinking I was still just dreaming and that tomorrow this would just be a faint memory. I wish this was real.
------------------------------------
Jess's POV
I'm not sure if she even knows what she just said but at the moment I don't care. She started to get up on her knees and I stood up too. Then she pulled away.
"Oh my god I'm not dreaming am I" she looked at me.
I shook my head.
"Great as if telling you and Luke and my mom that I liked you wasn't enough"
I realized when she said dreaming that she had been dreaming before when she was crying about that day in the storage room. I realized kissing her maybe wasn't the best idea.
"You're not over it" I said more to myself than to her.
"Over what" she asked.
"That day in the storage room you're not nearly as ok with it as you seem"
"What are you talking about I'm fine it's done it's over"
"Rory"
"Just don't worry about me ok Jess" she walked out the door and I followed her.
"It's the middle of the night where are you going" I asked.
"Anywhere but here" she stated.
She walked into one of the "kid's rooms" and turned on a stereo searching in the stacks next to it for a good CD. She didn't find one and turned it off.
"Rory do you remember anything"
"You mean about what I said yeah I do and can we please just forget about it"
"No I mean before that you were talking in your sleep said something like stop please leave me alone"
"Oh yea I was dreaming I was being chased by a bat I hate bats all bats even fruit bats that's what I was dreaming about"
"Oh well you also said it was hurting you fruit bats don't hurt people"
"Oh yea I was an uh orange yea that's it"
"You sure it wasn't a tangerine"
"Yup it was really big tangerines are small"
"Rory you're lying to me"
"Jess I told you don't worry about me"
"I can't not worry about you Rory"
"Why I know you don't really care about me"
"I do care about you" I told her "you're the most important thing in my life when you collapsed on our way back I thought I was going to lose the only thing that ever made sense in my life and it was my fault I've never cared so much about anyone else before I've never let anyone in as far as I let you in I love you Rory."
