A/N- Another chapter as promised! Thanks for all the reviews! Now for the dinner portion of the evening.
Rory's POV
I was sitting at my desk, my window was open allowing a cool, evening breeze in. I heard the sound of voices drifting closer to the house. I glanced up and saw two figures coming down the street, I smiled figuring it must be Luke and Jess. My smile faded as the voices became clearer.
"Jess! We are not done talking about this!" I heard Luke yell.
"Yes we are." Jess shot back.
"We have to discus this!"
"Discus what?" Jess yelled.
"How can you just brush this off? When did it happen?" Luke persisted.
"A couple weeks ago."
"Is that why your mom sent you here?"
"No."
"Then why did she?"
"Well gee Uncle Luke, do you really think I would let some guy stab me and do nothing?" Jess asked his voice dripping with sarcasm. By now they had reached the door and I heard a knock.
"Coming!" my mom yelled.
I sat staring at my computer screen. Jess had been stabbed?!
"Hey Ror, they're here!" mom called into my room. I turned in my chair and saw Luke and Jess standing in the kitchen.
"Hey," I greeted.
"Hey," Jess replied. He wandered into my room and sat on the corner of my bed.
"So what was that about?" I asked.
"What was what about?"
"That outside," I gestured to the open window, "you and Luke."
"Nothing."
"Jess,"
He sighed, "Later."
"Okay." I nodded. His eyes wandered around the room and landed on some pictures on my bookshelf. "That your dad?" he asked. He stood and picked up a picture.
"Yep, that's us at my grandparents, I was two. It was right before me and mom moved here."
He set it down and moved on to another picture, "Who's this? Boyfriend?"
"No, that's my friend, Adam." It was a picture of us sitting on my front porch, we were laughing and mom had snuck up on us and taken the picture. "It was taken about three years ago."
"Huh. Where is he now?"
"London."
"Really?"
"Yep, he left last year." I said glancing back at the photo.
"Hey we're moving the feast in the living room." Mom said sticking her head in my room.
"Okay." I stood up and headed out of my room with Jess trailing behind me. "You want a soda?" I asked him.
"Yeah," I grabbed two sodas out of the fridge and handed him one, we walked into the living room where mom and Luke were arguing about mashed potatoes. I set my soda down and grabbed a plate when I had filled it I sat down. Shortly after Jess sat next to me.
"Luke do not scoop those potatoes off of your plate!" mom threatened waving a fork at him.
"What are you gonna do? Fork me?" he asked sarcastically.
I smiled at fist but when Luke began scooping potatoes off his plate and my mom attacked him with the fork I burst out laughing as did Jess.
"Lorelai! Stop poking me with that thing!" Luke yelled.
"Put the potatoes back!" she retorted.
Luke sighs and replaces the potatoes. Mom grins triumphantly and puts the fork down.
"So Jess you started school today?" mom asked as she took her seat.
"I took an entrance test." He answered.
"And their sending his transcript to Chilton." I added.
"That's great Jess!"
"I guess." He shrugged.
"How do you like it here in Stars Hollow so far?" Sookie asked.
"It's…different."
"It's crazy." Luke supplied.
"Well you live here to." Mom pointed out.
"So do you."
"Well I like crazy!"
"Big surprise!"
"Hey!" mom said pretending to be hurt.
"You guy's done flirting yet?" I asked innocently. Mom and Luke both averted their eyes to their plates.
We finished dinner and Jess and I decided to take a walk.
"So?" I prompted once we were away from the house.
"So what?"
"What were you and Luke arguing about?" we had reached the bridge and I stopped, facing him.
"This." He raised the left side of his jacket and shirt to reveal a scar, it was about six inches long and appeared to be fairly new.
"Jess what happened?" I asked looking at him worried.
"One of my moms boyfriends tried to hit me, when I fought back he grabbed a knife and did this." He told me taking a seat on the bridge.
"Why did you get sent here?" I questioned sitting next to him.
"He came back last week he was just sitting there when I got home and I got mad. He came towards me and I just snapped. When the police found out he had done this," he gestured to his side, "they arrested him. Liz decided to send me here so here I am." I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Sorry." I mumbled.
"So tell me about Adam?"
"His mom worked at the inn with my mom, he hung out there a lot and I lived there when we first moved here. We would play while our moms worked, and we just clicked. He left last year for London he wanted a change of scenery. I still keep in touch with him but, I haven't seen him since he left." I told him.
"That sucks."
"Yep." I agreed. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned further into his side.
