Chapter VIII The Apocalypse
Rory and Jess sat on the couch in silence. Rory stared straight ahead imagining what was to come in the night. Jess's eyes flickered at Rory every few seconds as if to make sure he was hallucinating. He thought to himself: Yep. I am sitting in Rory Gilmore's house waiting for the circus to come over.
Finally someone knocks on the door. Rory rises to get it hoping to end the silence. Not that she dislike Jess. Wait doesn't she dislike jess? Then why is he sitting in your living room dumbass? She opens to door to a tall blond. He struts in to the house not giving her time to invite him in.
"I have arrived Mary. Break out the champagne, we only have a few precious moments alone until Huntzberger gets here." Tristan stops his rant when he sees the slender brunette sitting on the couch staring at him with a lopsided smirk.
"Are you cheating on me Mary?" He sort of laughs but stares at Jess as though Jess were known for killer small animals.
"What!" Rory nearly screams.
"What's with the Mary? I really don't get it." Jess says truthfully.
"I really don't feel the need to share it with you. Mary why is he here? You know he's dangerous."
"Yes. I was going to rape and pillage you but now that you know my plan…" Jess jokes.
"Get out" Tristan orders.
"Hey umm its my house" Rory offers. They don't seem to be listening to her though. They are tosses verbal assaults back and forth seeing who can outmatch each other's vocabulary. Rory thinks things cant get anymore uncomfortable until Logan knocks on the door. He basically charges into the room getting ready to berate Tristan who inviting himself over but stops dead in his tracks when he sees Jess.
"Are you cheating on me Ace?"
"WHAT?" Rory is so lost at this point it is humorous.
They start a full verbal fight.
"What are you doing there?"
"I like sitting on couches"
"Stop being a smartass"
"Stop trying to sound important"
"Stop it!"
"And you! What's with calling twice?"
"What are you yelling about?"
"Oh no lovers quarrel. I better break out the popcorn." Jess smirks drawing the attention back to him. Unfortunately Tristan gets extraordinarily mad this and lunges at Jess. Logan follows suit after Tristan. Pretty soon there is a full on chase going around the house. In the kitchen Jess narrowly misses capture running straight into Rory. He pulled her in front of him keeping a firm grasp on her hips.
The boys keep verbally fighting as Jess hides behind Rory but her mind goes completely blank. All she could think about was the heat from Jess's hands on her hips.
The chaos in interrupted by Lane letting herself in the backdoor carrying about 17 different bags on clothes.
"What did I miss?" She said breathing heavily soaking wet.
"The apocalypse" Rory said bluntly.
"Yes, it rained fire." Jess said still holding Rory firmly in front of him.
"Get your hands off of her" Logan said walking over to him as if he were the biggest person in room. Even Tristan smirked a little at Logan trying to seem large.
"Umm no" Jess smirked angling Rory in front of him.
This all but sets Logan off who grabs the closest weapon, which was spatula and chases Jess away. Rory freezes and looks over at Tristan.
"We can talk later about why Jess was umm… touching but right now I need your help." She pulls Rory in the bedroom and shut the door. She opens it again and grabs Tristan as well. "I need a mans judgment too! Dave is going to be here any minute and must look cute but not too cute.
"Gotcha" Tristan smirks as he hears Logan and Jess basically killing one another in the other room.
Logan ended up tripping over the coffee table breaking it. Rory, hearing the bang walked into the living room. Logan was sitting on the floor frowning while Jess, with extra messy hair, was standing in the corner on the room with his arms crossed.
"Rory, I came over here for moral support not to get attacked by this drug addict." Logan spits out as he stands up.
"Not to be out of line but you attacked him" Rory states the truth.
"Thank you" Jess smirks leaning closer to her but never taking his eyes off of a very red Logan.
"Ace cant I at least get a hug? I just.. I feel so weird. Finn is gone and I don't know." Logan rambles.
Rory's heart melts slightly. She considers the pros and cons and marches over to him and hugs him. It is meaningful. It doesn't last long when Tristan makes his way into the room.
"Where's my hug Mary?" He says waving his arms in the air. Now Rory is confused but she walks over to him and hugs him. He tightens his grip on her and lifts her slightly. She giggles.
The soft moment is interrupted by a knock at the door. Tristan being suddenly very manly marches over to the door to answer it. Rory steps forward but decides against it. Suddenly her hand is occupied. Something warm in rubbing in her palm.
She glances down and sees Jess's hand not so slickly grabbing hers. Her stomach tightens slightly but it doesn't last when Dave walks in to the house. He looks nervous but not at nervous as Lane was a few days prior.
Lane makes her entrance from Rory's bedroom. She is wearing every cool accessory she owns and then some. Dave smiles. Lane Smiles. Rory smiles. Tristan smiles. Logan smiles until he sees Jess and Rory's hand interlocked. Jess is slowly rubbing circles in her palm with his thumb. When Logan glances up he sees Jess grinning fro ear-to-ear staring straight back at him.
Before another full on brawl can happen they notice Tristan hasn't shut the door and a figure in all black as made their way into the doorway. Rory's hand tightens on Jess's; he edges slightly in front of her.
Finally they enter fully into the light of the room with one phrase.
"I heard about Finn"
Paris sniffles slightly wearing all black mourning gear. She starts to howl giving off an awful sound of crying. She grabs the first person she sees and cries full-blown into their chest. Poor Dave would probably have to buy another shirt.
AN: Oh man. Review.
