Disclaimer: I own Lelane and Matt.

A/N: Another update! Bet you thought I would leave this story forever. Nope! Just needed a little inspiration. Here is the next chapter! Oh by the way, in my story, Paris is not dating Doyle. She is dating my favorite guy on Gilmore Girls (besides Jess), Tristan!!

Jess looks at Rory, questioningly, "Logan?" He asks, quietly.

Ignoring Jess, she shakes her head and turns to Logan, "Logan, what are you doing here?"

"I've been everywhere. I've called your mom, your office; I went back to our apartment … Where have you been?"

"How did you know to look here?" Rory asks, ignoring his questions.

"I overheard Paris talking to Sabrina about you taking care of her apartment while she is on vacation with Tristan." Logan said, trying to stay calm, "But now I find you here with … him. What the hell is going on?"

Rory sighs and turns to Jess. Jess looks down at her, "I guess I'll go and give you two some time." He smiled slightly at her and then walked away, passing Logan and going down the stairs.

When he was out of sight, Rory unlocked the door mumbling just loud enough for Logan to hear, "Why in the world would you look for me?" She opened the door and gestured for him to come in.

He walked into the apartment and looked around, disgusted, "Rory … what is going on? You live in this dump, you're kissing the bartender at the pub, you are better than this."

"How would you know?! You don't even know me Logan! I told you at the wedding that I could never love you the way you wanted to be loved. I was someone I told myself I would never be. The trophy wife, the one who lived on the safe side … I was in the damn DAR!" She shouted and slammed the door behind him.

"So this is what you wanted? To date someone who could never give you what you deserve, to live in a rundown apartment building that belongs to someone else, to-"

"I get it Logan! My life will never be absolutely perfect like yours. Honestly, though, I rather have no money and be happy than be wealthy and miserable."

"Yeah, you have your little happy ever after with the bartender. When he leaves you don't come running to me."

"Leave." She spat out.

"Gladly." He said before he walked out of the door and left her.

Rory sat down on the couch and put her head in her hands, thinking about what he said. Would she be happy with Jess? Will he leave her? She sighed, grabbed a bag and drove to Stars Hollow. She needed her mother.

It had been five days and Jess hadn't heard anything from Rory. Not a call or anything. He sighed and wiped down the counter. She probably went back to Logan. He thought and started wiping the counter, harder.

"Whoa, don't break the thing in half." He heard Lelane's voice coming from in front of him.

He looked up, "Hey." He said, his voice lacking happiness.

"Well, now, I should be offended. I come by to greet my brother and I get a sour attitude." She furrowed her brow, "Seriously Jess, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Man, do you have to know everything about my life? So you can try to fix it." He sighed and threw his rag down, "I don't need you to worry about me. I don't need your sympathies. I don't need anything." He walked to the back of the bar.

Lelane grew angry instead of upset by his outburst. She walked behind the counter and followed him to the back, "What is wrong with you?!" She shouted, walking up to him.

"Lelane, take a hint. I do not want to talk about it." He sat down on a supply box and looked up at her.

"Rory." She said simply and sat beside him on a different box.

He sighed, "Yeah. It's just ever since Valentine's Day, when we ran into her ex, she hasn't said a word to me. She hasn't called, she hasn't e-mailed or come by … And she hasn't returned any of my calls. I finally find a girl that I could honestly say I liked a lot and it turns out to be a dud."

"Maybe she has a good explanation. Don't jump to conclusions." Lelane patted his knee and stood up, "My lunch break is over. Man, you and your teenage-girl-like drama." She laughed and ruffled his hair. She walked out and Jess sat in there for a little while.

After a few minutes of thinking he got up and went out to work. He needed to get his mind off of her for a little while.

Jess walked through his apartment complex, heading to his room. He stopped a little ways from his door when he saw Rory leaning against the wall beside it. She saw him and pushed off the wall, "Jess." She said simply and started walking to him, "I have been sitting here for an hour trying to think of what I am going to say to you when you get here. I thought about starting off with an apology …"

He didn't say anything. He just watched her come toward him with the most regretful look on her face. She got up to him and placed her hand on his chest, "So, I'm sorry." She breathed out.

"Where have you been?" He asked, looking hurt and tired from his long day at work.

"I just needed to think." She replied.

"Think." He nodded, "Huh. With him?"

"No! No, Logan and I… we're done. Just after he left I thought about some things and then I really wanted to see my mom. She always helps me with anything." She bit her lip and looked at the ground. Her hand dropped down and she intertwined her fingers with his.

He looked at their hands, "So what do you think?"

"I think that I want to be with you. You make me happy, Jess, and not many people have succeeded at doing that lately. I don't know where we'll end up and I don't know how long we'll be together, but I want to try this." She smiled slightly, "So, will you forgive me for not calling?"

Jess sighed and couldn't help but smile at her, "Yeah."

"And you want to try this, too?" She sounded hopeful and she squeezed his hand a bit.

"Yeah, I do." His smile turned into a smirk, "You want to come in?"

She nodded and her smile grew bigger. He walked over and opened the door, still holding her hand.

They walked into the apartment and Jess turned to her, "How did you know where I lived?"

Rory shrugged, "I have my ways."

He laughed and looked up at the clock, "Stay the night?"

"Yeah, but just sleeping, right?" She asked him.

"Yeah, just sleeping." He smiled and walked into the bedroom.

A/N: So short and honestly not the way I planned it to be, but I had to get this chapter up and out of my system. Hope you like!
