Chapter 17: Sunday

Jess wasn't sure what he should do, all he knew was that between his shower and now something had upset Rory enough to make her cry. Slowly he made his way over to her as not to scare her.

Rory was aware that Jess was in the room and slowly walking towards her. She didn't feel like dealing with him right now but she knew that she would have to explain this to him.

"What's wrong?" Jess asked quietly as he inched closer to Rory. He reached his hand out and touched her softly on the shoulder.

'I should tell him the truth' Rory thought as she stopped crying. Rory looked up at Jess and saw worry and fear in his eyes. Rory felt awful that she had caused that.

"I got a creepy phone call" Rory admitted hoping that Jess wouldn't ask too much.

"Who was it?" Jess asked fear and anger flashing in his eyes.

"I'm not sure" Rory said. It wasn't a total lie; she wasn't sure if it really was Logan or if it was just somebody else.

"Who do you think it could've been?" Jess asked not wanting to let this go, with everything that had happened the past few days he wanted to be sure that Rory was safe.

"It could've been the guy from yesterday, but I don't think he has my phone number" Rory lied knowing full well that Logan could've gotten her phone number from someone at the paper.

Jess sighed, "Just be careful, I don't know what I would do if something happened to you" he said puling Rory into a hug.

"I'm ready to take my shower now" Rory said wanting to end the conversation right there.

"Alright" Jess nodded. Rory got up, grabbed her clothes, and headed for the bathroom.

Once in the bathroom Rory got a good look at herself. She had bags under her eyes and looked very pale.

'Why couldn't I just tell Jess the truth?' Rory asked herself as she turned the water on.

'It's because you're still afraid of other men and how Jess will react' a voice in her head said as she stepped into the shower.

'I know I'm still a bit afraid of his reaction and men but I think I love him' Rory told herself as she began to wash her hair.

'You only think you love him, you still don't know if he loves you' the voice said as Rory started to cry a little.

'I'll just watch out for Logan and everything will be fine' Rory told herself. Suddenly she was interrupted by her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door.

"You alright it there?" Jess asked, worry filling his voice.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a couple of minutes" Rory answered turning the water off.

After Rory got dressed she came out to find Jess working on his book.

"How's the book coming along?" Rory asked walking up to him.

"It's going good, I should have it finished in a couple of months" Jess answered not looking up.

"So do you want to go and see my mom?" Rory asked as Jess looked up from his writings.

"Yeah, let's just stop off and pick up some coffee and breakfast, Luke has Caesar covering for him again" Jess said. Rory looked oddly at Jess.

"I called Luke while you were in the shower, they're expected us in about half and hour" Jess said.

"Alright let's go" Rory said while Jess got up from his seat.

Even though Jess wouldn't admit it to Rory, he was worried about her. He knew that the phone call was more than she was letting on. But Jess also knew that Rory would have to come to him he just couldn't force it from her.

Meanwhile over at Lorelai's things were going better. Lorelai had been able to sleep most of the night; she had woken up a few times. The few times she had woken up she had been able to get back to sleep fairly quickly.

Lorelai had still been sleeping when Jess had called saying that he and Rory were coming over.

Luke was relived when Jess said he would pick-up breakfast. That way he wouldn't have to leave Lorelai alone.

Luke was just sitting on the couch watching T.V. when he heard Lorelai coming downstairs.

"Rory and Jess are coming over soon" Luke said as Lorelai sat down next to him.

"Are they bringing coffee?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah" Luke said.

"Good" Lorelai responded. They were silent for a second.

"I think that today you should find the number of a good therapist" Luke said not sure how she would respond to this.

"I probably should" Lorelai said dismissively wanting to move onto another subject.

"Lorelai, you will have to see someone eventually" Luke said.

"I know I just don't want to think about it right now" Lorelai said as Rory and Jess walked in.

"We brought breakfast" Jess said setting down the bags.

The rest of the day was spent just spending time with Lorelai and making sure that she was alright. Rory stayed silent most of the day but talked as much as she could. Eventually the day ended when Rory had to get back to Yale. She said good-bye to everyone and started driving to Yale.

Rory felt bad that she couldn't stay longer but she really did need to get back and she'd call her mom and Luke tomorrow.

When Rory got back to her room she was surprised to find Paris still up.

"Where've you been?" Paris asked not looking up from her computer.

"I was just spending the day with my mom" Rory said.

Paris just nodded as she continued to work.

Suddenly Rory felt very tired. "I'm going to bed" she said.

"Good-night" Paris said as Rory went to her room to get some well deserved sleep.
