Chapter 4 – Runaway
--------------------------
The next morning, Rory spent a good amount of her time taking Tylenol and drinking coffee. She tried to relieve all the tension and stress that was getting to her. Especially from on dark-haired boy.
Jess.
He was an incredibly good kisser, she could say that. But, that was the thing. He was too good, and it came from experience… a lot of experience. As far as Rory could tell, she was just going to be another knotch on his belt, another girl, unimportant.
She quickly shook her head.
'Forget him.'
Rory then put on her Chilton uniform and left the Gilmore mansion.
----
'Atleast I didn't face him at all today.' Rory thought as she stuffed her books into her locker.
She had pretty much spent all morning completely avoiding Jess. It was too soon to talk about anything and she was too uncomfortable speaking to him.
Rory closed her locker and swiftly walked towards the cafeteria. Just then, someone's hands grabbed her waist and pulled her into the janitor's closet.
"What the—" The mysterious person put their finger or Rory's lips.
"Shh…"
Rory instantly knew who it was. She could smell his cologne anywhere.
"What do you want, Jess?" Rory said agitatedly while crossing her arms.
"I wanna talk," he said softly.
"Yeah, well, I don't."
"Rory—"
"No! I said I don't wanna talk to you!" Rory yelled and turned to get out of the closet. She turned the knob twice and it didn't open. She tried again. They were locked again.
"Oh my god! We're locked in!"
"It only opens from the outside."
"Smart Jess, real smart."
"I try."
Silence.
"Okay, so you wanted to talk, so talk." Rory said.
"I wanna know why you told me to leave yesterday."
"I was… tired." Rory said pathetically.
"Damn it, Rory! You know that isn't true!"
"Why do you care anyway? Huh? What made you get all riled up about this?"
"What—" Rory interrupted him.
"I'm just another girl anyway. I'm just another addition to the 'Jess' handbook of conquests.' I'm nothing special to you and I never will be!"
"Is that what you seriously think?"
Jess took a step towards Rory.
"It's what I know," she said somewhat stubbornly.
"You don't know that." His voice was rising.
"You didn't give me any other reason not to!"
He stared at the blue-eyes angel in front of him. Rory saw his eyes searching her face, she didn't know why though. Jess finally spoke.
"You really believe that, don't you?" He asked softly.
"Yes."
"Ok, then."
He took a key out from his pocket and quickly opened the door.
"You had the key all along?!" Rory yelled.
Jess didn't answer. He just stormed out of the janitor's closet without a second glance.
-------
Rory put on her headphones and took out her latest book. She was in the cafeteria but she couldn't pay attention to her music, her book, and couldn't even eat her lunch. She kept thinking about Jess. He was the one boy she would never understand. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was unforgettable. It was confusion, anger, hate… love.
'Love?' Rory shook her head. It couldn't be love. Jess Mariano just doesn't do relationships.
She had enough of this! She needed to get out of here, out of Chilton. But where would she go? She couldn't go home, grandma would be steaming with answers. Rory didn't know what to do.
She left the cafeteria.
She just had to leave!
When she got to the parking lot, Rory saw Paris trying to measure the amount of inches her car was.
'Strange girl.' Rory thought.
Rory started to head for her car when she heard her name.
"Rory! Where do you think you're going?"
Rory turned around and saw Paris marching towards her.
"Hey Paris. I don't know, I just need to get out of here."
Paris was about to ay something, but she saw Rory's tears. So, she just nodded.
Rory got in her car, and drove wherever the road would take her.
