"What are you doing here?" Rory asked after initial reaction of shock was gone.

"Can't I come to see my girlfriend without getting the third degree? Logan asked looking from Rory to Jess and emphasizing the word girlfriend.

"I'm going to go." Jess said addressing Rory before anything got any more awkward. Rory nodded and he headed inside to get his jacket.

Rory stood there awkwardly while Logan's features turned from jealousy to furious.

Jess came back out and gave Rory's arm a gentle squeeze, "I'll see you later." He said as he headed out of the house and onto the front lawn.

"Thank you Jess." Rory called to his retreating back. He turned around and gave her a small nod and continued walking back into town.

"What the hell was that Rory?" Logan asked as he witnessed the interaction between the two.

"What was what?" Rory asked as he came in and closed the door after he entered.

"That little "I'll see you later," and him touching your arm bit." Logan asked walking past her into the living room where the now cold popcorn and movies still sat on the table.

Before Rory had a time to respond, Logan looked at his surroundings and his eyes grew big in surprise. "Were you on a date with that Jake guy or whatever his name is?"

"What?" Rory asked completely thrown off guard. "Are you crazy Logan? I told you before, Jess is just an old friend and we were hanging out." She explained irritated.

"I don't like you hanging out with that guy, Rory." Logan stated seriously.

"I really don't care right now, because I don't like who you are right now." Rory stated as she crossed her arms in front of her.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Logan asked with a frown on his face.

"Are you listening to yourself Logan? You just told me I couldn't hang out with a friend." Rory said exasperated.

"Look Rory, I just don't like that guy." Logan said, his face turning red.

Rory looked at him ready to say something when her eyes widened in realization and then she began to chuckle.

"What's so funny?' Logan asked harshly.

"I can't believe I didn't see this before." Rory stated ignoring Logan.

"You can't believe you didn't see what before?" Logan asked growing impatient.

Rory didn't seem to hear him and just shook her head and began to chuckle again.

"Rory." Logan said as he grabbed her by the shoulders.

"What?" Rory asked surprised.

"What are you talking about?" Logan asked loosing the last ounce of patience he had left.

"Nothing." Rory said freeing herself from his grasp.

"Well, it must have been something for you to ignore me." Logan retorted.

"I was just thinking to myself that I've been dating Dean 2.0." Rory stated crossing her arms over her chest.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Logan asked puzzled.

"It means that I don't know what was wrong with me, or who I was that I was willing to do so many stupid things to be with you." Rory said uncrossing her arms and gesturing wildly.

"Are you saying I was a mistake?" Logan asked his voice softening dramatically.

"No." Rory said just as softly. "I'm saying that I wasn't myself, Logan. I'm not the kind of girl who goes partying and drinking every night. I'm the kind of girl who stays home on a Saturday night just to curl up on the couch with a good book to read. I don't drop out of school, or steal boats, or live at my grandparents' house."

"So, you're breaking up with me then?" Logan asked after a small pause.

Rory stayed quiet, and wrapped her arms around herself.

Logan looked at her and then just nodded.

"Well, I hope you and Jess are happy together." He said angrily.

Rory's head snapped up, and instead of saying anything, she just watched him walk to the door, and slam it on his way out.

Rory sighed and sunk down onto the couch and ate the long forgotten popcorn.

"Hey Jess." Lorelai said happily as he entered the diner.

"Hey?" Jess asked puzzled.

Luke came down the stairs and Jess motioned for him to come closer.

"What's up?" Luke asked breathless.

"What's with her?" Jess asked gesturing towards Lorelai.

Luke turned towards Lorelai who was jumpy in her seat and smirked. "I gave her something."

"She's this happy after drinking decaf?" Jess questioned.

Luke chuckled. "God no. She can always tell its decaf before I even hand it to her."

He looked at Jess then continued. "I'm actually taking her to the lake for a couple of days." Luke admitted shyly.

"Why is she excited about going to the lake?" Jess asked confused.

"She gets to go shopping." Luke replied.

"Oh."

"Yeah." Luke added.

"So, when are you guys planning on leaving?" Jess asked.

"Thursday morning, and we should be back by Sunday evening." Luke explained.

"Who's going to be watching the diner when you're gone?" Jess asked.

"Well, I was just planning on closing the diner for those days. I figured I might as well give Lane and Caesar a break." Luke said.

"I can take care of the diner if you want." Jess offered.

"Jess, no. I couldn't ask you to do that and miss work." Luke started.

"You're not asking, I'm offering. And nothing will happen if I miss work for a couple of days. It's not like I take a lot of days off anyways." Jess replied.

"Are you sure about this?" Luke asked hesitantly.

Jess nodded.

"Okay then." Luke said smiling.

A/N. I tried to make it as real as possible. Let me know what you think, and review! I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can. I have some of it written already.
