Chapter 3 – Emily & Twists

Disclaimer – I don't own anything, unfortunately. If I did, all of the stuff I'm writing wouldn't be fiction.

"Rory!" Jess ran up to her and in one quick move, he put Rory in his lap, still sitting on the ground.

"J-Jess?" Rory managed to say in between her heavy sobs.

"Yeah, it's me." Jess comforted Rory. "What's going on?"

"M-My grandma… heart attack… hospital."

"Oh, God." Jess stood up and gently picked her up. He put his arm around her shoulder and took her arm and put it around his waist. "Don't worry, I'm taking you to the hospital, okay?"

"What about school?"

"Ha, I was already ditching class anyway."

Rory nodded and let Jess lead the way to his car. Once they were in the parking lot, Jess took his keys out and pressed the 'unlock' button. He opened the passenger door and sat Rory down on the seat. He jogged to the other side of the car to get in the driver's seat. Jess smoothly turned the engine on and sped off towards the hospital.

----

Once they got to the hospital, Rory ran in with a tear-strained face. She went straight to the front desk.

"I'm Rory Gilmore. What room is Emily Gilmore in?"

"Room 138, hun." The nurse said with a sympathetic smile.

Rory ran down the hall looking for the room. Once she found it, she slowed down and carefully opened the door.

"Grandma?"

She walked over to the bed. Emily was quite pale and had all sorts of wires attached to her.

"Rory, come sit." Her grandmother said while patting the chair by her. She saw that Richard was sleeping on the chair next to it.

"Are you okay? What happened? How long are you here? What—"

Emily chuckled. "One question at a time, dear. I'm fine. I had a heart attack while I was preparing for the next DAR meeting. Stress over took me, is all. I'm going to get out of here tomorrow night. I'm going to be nursed at home.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Rory said as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh my. Come here." Emily pulled her in for a hug and Rory's head nested against her shoulder. After a minute or two, they broke apart.

"I-I thought I l-lost you." Rory stuttered.

Emily took a deep breath. "I'll be all right." She smiled.

Rory wiped the tears of her face as she walked out of the room. She stopped when she saw Jess waiting for her in the waiting room. He saw her and walked up to her.

"Ready to go?" He asked quietly.

Rory nodded. They left the hospital and went into Jess' car. The car ride was mostly silent, both lost in thought. The only noise was the radio. It was currently playing What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts.

They arrived at the Gilmore mansion and Jess walked Rory to the door.

"So, umm… thank you. You know, for everything." Rory said sincerely, although a little uncomfortable.

"No problem." Jess said.

"So, do you wanna come in?"

Jess looked surprised but quickly replaced it with a smirk.

"Can't stand being without me, huh?"

"Ugh. You know what? Never mind." Rory turned around and started to go inside the house when she felt someone grab her hand.

"Hey, come on. I was joking." Rory looked at him incredulously. "Look, I'm sorry." He side sincerely. Rory caught this and let him into the house.

They walked up to Rory's room and Jess raised his eyebrow.

"My grandma made it! This room is so not me! I'm gonna redecorate it later." Rory was a little embarrassed and blushed.

Jess chuckled.

"I'm gonna take a shower. Make yourself at home." And with that, Rory walked into the bathroom connected to her room. Jess heard the shower go on and decided to take in her room.

Jess then, Rory's cell phone rang. Jess contemplated on whether to answer it or not. He took the chance.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hello? Rory?"

"Um, no. She's taking a shower now."

"Who is this?"

"Jess…"

"Stay the hell away from Rory!" The voice on the other line exclaimed angrily.

"What the fuck? Who the hell is this?"

"Dean! … Her boyfriend."

Jess' heart sank. Rory had a boyfriend? She didn't tell him that! He shook his head. Why should he even care?

"I'll tell her to call you back." He hung up. Just then, Rory walked out of the bathroom.

Her hair was still wet from the shower and dropped in wavy strands down her back. Her pajamas consisted of a white tank top and light pink boy shorts. 'Beautiful.' Jess thought.

"Hey, did I hear my phone ring?" Rory asked.

"Yeah. It was your boyfriend."

"My what?"

"Dean. He said he wanted to talk to you. You should call him back." Jess said somewhat agitatedly. And with that, he turned to walk out of her room.

"Wait!" Rory called out.

He stopped and turned.

"What?" He snarled.

Rory looked a little taken back. "Jess, I do not have a boyfriend! Dean's this guy at Chilton who won't leave me alone. He has a crush on my or something!" She yelled.

Relief washed over Jess' face. "You mean the floppy-haired dude?" He smirked.

"Yeah." She giggled.

Sometime during the conversation, they ended up standing directly in front of each other.

"Sorry." Jess took a step towards her, making her back up against the wall.

"It's o-okay." Rory said, her voice shaky. "Why did you get mad?"

"I don't know. You just surprised me." He took another step towards her.

"Surprised you?" She whispered.

"Yeah." He put his hands on her hips. Rory gulped and stared into his dark eyes. His lips were at least an inch away from hers and she wanted him to kiss her, so bad. Slowly, his face came closer and he suddenly crashed his lips against hers. The kiss grew more heated as he pushed her against the wall. Rory needed for him to be closer. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him against her. This made Jess groan into her mouth. Instantly, Jess' tongue traced her lips and she parted them without any second thoughts. Rory pushed up against him, making him kiss her with more fever. He pushed his hips into hers, wanting her body terribly. Rory suddenly realized what she was doing and pulled away.

They stared into each other's lust-filled eyes for a moment before Rory took a step back.

"This was a mistake." She said, looking anywhere but at him.

"Ror—"

"Leave."

"W-What?" Jess was breathless and shocked.

"Please."

Jess saw the pleading look in her eyes and left the room.

She looked around her room for a second. The brunette sat on her bed with her head in her hands and started to cry.

'What have I done?'
