Chapter 2 Denial works?
As Rory's finals were over, graduation has just happened, luckily Rory was able to get another scholarship so she didn't have to loan money from her grandparents. The Jess subject was not talked about anymore since Rory's outburst.
Rory's cell phone rings
"hello" Rory says answering it.
"hello?" she asks again, when no answer she hung up.
"Who was that?" her mother asked her.
"didn't say" Rory replied just when she was about to put her cell away it rang again. "hang on" she told her mother walking away from her and answered her phone again.
"Hello?" she asks again, there was again no answer.
"jess?" she then asks.
"ok I know it's you and you call me wanting to say something but then you don't. You want to talk about why you left or are you just listening?" Rory asked him
"Rory I" Jess started but he couldn't bring himself to say anything to her.
relief went through Rory knowing for sure it was Jess he was talking to.
"Jess, I know why you left Luke told me your father dropped by and you got kicked out of school and you yourself told me you couldn't get tickets and I've had high expectation about the prom and you felt like you let me down, well I am disappointed that you got yourself kicked out because you're smarter then everyone else there if you had just made an effort...I'm not going to rant about school because school isn't the thing we need to talk about it is us we need to talk about. Despite all of that you shouldn't have left. I'm your girlfriend Jess you should have told me. but instead you run away like you always do. and Why is that Jess Why are you always running away from your problems instead of facing them. You should have come to me, but you decided to leave...I think, I may have loved you Jess but I get that you don't feel the same way about me." Rory told him in a rant.
"Rory I-" Jess started but was cut off when Rory hung up the phone.
"do love you" Jess said just before he hung up the payphone and ran a hand through his hair. I really messed up this time he thought to himself before walking off.
one week later
Jess has been too him self a lot and Jimmy has been to scared to ask him what was wrong but his girlfriend told him to talk to his son.
"hey" Jimmy says casually to his son sitting near him on the couch.
"hey" Jess replies then an uncomfortable silence falls between the two.
"you want to tell me what's bothering you?" Jimmy asked his son.
"nothing" Jess replies.
"ok, I'll guess. girl problem?"
Jess looks at him "how did you guess?" he asks him.
"it's always the girls that make us men act the way we do" Jimmy replies.
"It's not Rory's fault it's mine" Jess told him.
"so her name is Rory, well at least we're getting somewhere. She from around here or Stars Hollow" he asked him.
"Stars Hollow" Jess replies.
"Why is it your fault?" Jimmy asks him.
"Actually it's yours since it's genetic." Jess told him.
Ignoring the blow Jess gave him when saying that. he continued "You're young, and it hasn't been 18 years yet so you can still do something about it." he told his son.
"Can't." Jess replied.
"Why?" Jimmy asks him.
"Cos I screwed up. besides she's better of without me." Jess told him.
"Why don't you tell her that and let her decide what she wants" Jimmy told him.
Jess was silent for a minute then said "it doesn't matter"
"It does to you. Go fix things." Jimmy told him.
"you're kicking me out?" Jess asked him.
"Until you told her how you feel about her yeah." Jimmy told him.
"Fine" Jess said getting up and walking to get his stuff.
