A/N: Okay wow, so once again an enormously great response to my last chapter. I think I may have struck some gold here. Now while some of you have said you read similar stories you didn't tell me any names and I'd really like to read them, to you know help me avoid some of the bad things they did and do the good things they did.
Oh and I got a beta so, everyone bow down to, Just A Girl Of The Hollow x3.
GGGGGGGGG
"Ok so what do I do?" Luke asked after Lorelai convinced him that it was a good idea that Jess stay.
"Well, I think that Jess should maybe spend a lot more time studying…" Lorelai said with a knowing smirk, "But other than that just keep up with what you were doing, despite what just happened you are doing a good job."
"Okay… I need to call Liz," Luke said scratching his head, still not quite sure what just happened.
Upstairs
"I'm leaving," Jess said about five minutes after Rory's confession, not at all surprised that Lorelai had told Rory what he said.
"No you're not," Rory replied, finally taking her head off his shoulder.
"Yeah, I am, I told Luke what happened and he's sending me back to New York. I hurt you, maybe I should go," Jess said looking back down on the floor.
"No Jess…what do you want to do?" Rory repeated her mother's question.
"What?" Jess asked confused.
"My mom asked me that last night, and despite what you may think she is a very wise woman, so what do you want to do?" Rory asked looking straight at him.
"I want to stay," Jess replied quietly.
"Then you've got to do what ever it takes to do it," Rory said knowingly. "I'm doing things I really don't want to do, to help you stay."
"What?" Jess asked wondering what Rory would do to help him.
"Well first my mom and I are convincing Luke to let you stay, I have to go break some guys heart tomorrow when he gets back, a lot of stuff," Rory smiled at him, finding it hard to look at his confused expression and not smile (A/N: It doesn't hurt that he's freaking gorgeous).
"Huh."
"Now there's the Jess I know and love," Rory smiled again at his behavior.
"Ha ha," Jess retorted, and leaned in to kiss her, but Rory pulled back.
"I'm sorry, but even though it's been over for a while, I'm still technically with Dean, and I want the first time we kiss for it not to be…cheapened, I guess, by the fact that I'm with someone else…but trust me tomorrow night there will be plenty of that," Rory said apologetically.
"Its okay, I just kind of forgot," Jess said truly understanding. He got up and held out his hand for Rory, "Come on, I have to get your mom coffee before she and Luke kill each other,"
Rory and Jess laughed as they walked down the stairs and into the diner.
"Hey mom," Rory said sitting down on a stool next to her mom.
"Hey, so everything good?" Lorelai questioned with a glance at Jess.
"Yep," Rory smiled as Jess poured both Lorelai and Rory some coffee.
"Oh, coffee without having to argue for it, Jess you're my new favorite," Lorelai said gulping down her coffee in one drink and holding it out for more.
"Well I do have to admit that Luke is right, this stuff will kill you, but really, who wants to die at 90 and be useless having everyone else take care of you?" Jess asked, pouring her, her second cup and smirking.
"Oh, I like that. I'll have to try that out on Luke. I'm drinking coffee to save Rory money later on in life, I'm actually contributing to society, nice," Lorelai mused looking towards Luke taking orders.
"Plus, your paying for your coffee so you're helping the economy," Rory pointed out.
"Exactly," Lorelai said with an evil grin on her face.
On the street with Lane
"Thank god it's Saturday, I don't know what I'd do if I had to go to school today…" Rory said while walking with Lane.
"Yeah, so tell me again what happened last night, I'm still not quite getting it," Lane said having Rory repeat last nights and this mornings events.
"Jess and I were studying, then we went to get ice cream and he asked me if I wanted to drive around for a little while and I said yes, then to avoid running over a very fury animal he swerved and hit a pole. I went to the emergency room and he wanted to go with me, but I wouldn't let him, then my mom came and took me home, then left to go yell at Jess. She found him on the bridge and yelled at him, then he yelled back that he loved me and that he wanted to go to the emergency room with me but I wouldn't let him so mom came back and we talked and agreed that I loved Jess and that what I was doing was just unfair to everyone involved and that I should break up with Dean and tell Jess everything. Then this morning, we went to Luke's as per usual and Luke started talking about how he was sending Jess back to New York so mom convinced him to let him stay while I went up stairs told Jess that I loved him, told him that he wasn't leaving and that I was breaking up with Dean, then I came over to your house," Rory said summarizing the whole story with only a few breaths. "Anything still confusing you?"
"Yeah…you're in love with Jess, I thought you were in love with Dean?" Lane asked still processing the entire thing.
"Honestly, I'm not sure if I was ever in love with Dean. I mean yeah, he was a great boyfriend and he's really nice, but me and Jess just have this connection…we talk about everything and yet we never have to talk about anything. We like all the same things, but in a different way. He's just…I don't know how to describe it. I'm in love with him," Rory said in a tone that no one could describe as anything other than content.
"Wow," Lane said looking at Rory in awe, "Your okay right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well I was just thinking that since my mom thinks I'm with you and Dave…" Lane drifted off looking around.
"Go have fun and say hello to lover boy for me," Rory smiled as Lane dashed off.
The next evening
Dean's car pulled up to his house as Rory stood up from where she was sitting on the curb.
"Hey what happened to your arm?" Dean said stepping out of the car and trying to hug Rory but she just pushed a letter at him. "What's this?"
"Just read it," Rory said looking down at her shoes.
Dean read the letter carefully, and looked up at her in shock a few times but she just gestured for him to keep reading and when he finally got to the end of the letter…
A/N: So what do you guys think? It's a little bit longer than last time, but that's how my storied usually go the chapters get longer and longer as they go.
