Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Please don't sue me; I have nothing to offer you except the stories in my head. (This goes for all chapters to come.)
Authors Note: I know this isn't the sequel that I promised everyone but I'm still working that one out. This is another idea that I cooked up, please read and review, tell me if I should continue with it or just give up, I promise that a sequel to Follow Through is coming.
This story is going to take place at the end of Season 3, specifically in Kyle's bedroom in the episode Keg!Max! Except it's going in a very different direction then the show took it. I know there are so many stories like this one out there, but I'm trying to make this one as original as possible.
This story is very AU and most of the people are somewhat out of character so please don't yell at me for that.
Anyway I hope you enjoy…
Cause Your It
Chapter 1: Screwed Up.
Kyle's bedroom…
"Hey, I've been looking all over for you. How's it going?" Rory Gilmore asks her boyfriend of 1 year as she enters a strange bedroom at a party. She found him sitting in a chair reading a book.
"I guess I'm doing okay." Jess Mariano answered her.
"You guess your doing okay?" Rory says as she walks over to him and he pulls her down into his lap.
"Okay I I'm not really doing okay at all." Jess answers her while looking out the window.
Rory pulls his face closer so he is looking directly at her.
"So tell me what's been bothering you?" Jess shifts uncomfortably and Rory moves to get off of him but he pulls her back down.
"Stay here." He looks into her eyes and he pulls her into a passionate kiss, but it only lasts for a minute before he pulls away ready to talk to her.
"I screwed up. A lot." He says shyly.
"Screwed up how?" She asks with concern.
"I can't get us prom tickets." He starts
"Why not?" She asks a little upset, and he can hear it in her voice that makes him hate himself even more.
"I'm not graduating high school."
"Oh Jess, what happened? I thought you were doing better in school?"
"I got a second job at Wal-Mart and I skipped to many classes and they won't let me make it up."
"Can't you go to summer school?"
"No they won't let me. The only way I can graduate is if I repeat the grade next year."
"So why don't you do that?"
"I don't know, I've thought about it, but I just hate that school."
"Maybe you can go to another school, one in Hartford?"
"I'll think about it. I'm just sorry that I disappointed you. I know how much you wanted to go to prom."
"It's okay we can go when you graduate. We can just spend prom night together watching movies. Without all the bad music and cheerleaders and jocks running around worried about who's going to be prom king and queen. We can be our own prom king and queen, I'll even get us crowns." Rory said with a smirk.
"Very funny, I'm not wearing a crown." Jess replied crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well see." Rory said as she leaned down and kissed him. He responded instantly by uncrossing his arms and pulling her closer to him. He pulled away for a moment, for some air.
"Hey Ror?"
"Yeah" She asks resting her forehead against his.
"I've fallen in love with you." Rory smiled when she heard him say that.
"Well that's good, because I've fallen in love with you to." Jess smiled and kissed her quickly.
"Do you wanna get out of here and go watch a movie, Luke's gone fishing all weekend?"
"Sure just let me go say good-bye to Lane. I'll meet you bye the front door." With that Rory quickly kissed Jess on the lips and jumped up and ran out of the room. She ran down the stairs and right past Dean. Jess followed a bit slower after her.
"Rory, what's wrong?" Dean asked after she ran past him. Rory didn't hear him and kept on running to find Lane. At this point Dean is now seeing Jess come down the stairs.
"What did you do to Rory?" Dean demanded
"Bean I should of known you would be thinking about Rory and assuming it was your business. But for your information it's not and I didn't do anything, we're getting ready to leave, she just went to say good-bye to Lane."
"What ever, your going to hurt her you know that right. You're just a screw up. I know your not gonna graduate high school."
"Again none of your business and I'm not gonna hurt Rory. Now kindly get out of my way." Dean moved aside and Jess walked away in the direction of the front door.
"She'll never love you, she knows your nothing." Dean yelled at Jess' retreating figure, Jess just smirked if only he knew He thought to himself.

Rory found Lane sitting down on a couch with Dave, she looked a little drunk.
"Hey Lane, Dave." Rory greeted them
"Hey" Lane mumbled
"Hi" Dave replied to her.
"Lane are you okay?"
"Yeah I'll be fine, it's just been a long night. I think I'm gonna head home soon."
"Yeah Jess and I are leaving too. I just came over to say good-bye and tell you your show was awesome."
"Thanks, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye guys." Rory said as she walked towards the front door where she greeted Jess with a kiss, he put his arm around her and the started out the door.
"So I ran into Dean on my way out of Kyle's room."
"Oh." Said Rory.
"Yeah he wanted to know what I did to upset you."
"I'm not upset."
"I know but he assumed you where when you ran past him, he decided that he needed to make it his business."
"I hate that about him, I'm not his girlfriend I haven't been for a year now. He needs to let go and move on."
"I totally agree. He also told me that you'd never love me."
"Well he's wrong cause I do love you, a whole lot and I don't plan on ever stopping." Rory said as she leaned up and kissed his cheek.
"Good, I love you too."

They arrived at Luke's a few minutes later; Jess immediately went and made a fresh pot of coffee.
"Lets go upstairs and pick out a movie." Jess said to Rory as he grabbed the coffee pot and pushed Rory lightly towards the stairs.
"Okay I know the best one to watch." Rory said excitedly. Rory situated herself under the covers on Jess's bed while he put in the movie she picked out. She chose Raising Helen.
"God I just love this movie." Rory said and she made herself as comfortable as possible. Jess turned around and smiled at the sight of Rory in his bed. He would gladly sit through this movie any time if he got to watch it with her, the most beautiful women he had ever laid eyes on.
He walked up to the bed and got comfortable next to Rory the love of his life.

At the end of the movie Rory was crying her eyes out, it's just the greatest ending to the story.
She snuggles up closer to Jess as he leans down to kiss her. Their kiss soon intensifies and Jess is now lying down on top of Rory, She pulls him down as far as he can go. Jess then slides his hand up her shirt a little feeling the soft skin on her stomach. Rory lets a little moan escape as she pulls up Jess' shirt.
"Are you sure?" He whispers.
"I'm positive, I love you more than anything and I want to be with you, all of you."
"Good, cause I feel the same way. I love you Rory." She smiles and they continue with the night's unplanned events.

The next morning Rory wakes up to the smell of coffee. She opens her eyes and she is met with a slumbering Jess. She remembers what happened the night before.
She leans over and places a gentle kiss on Jess's neck. Causing him to stir.
"Mornin' beautiful." He whispers his voice is still laced with the last remains of sleep.
"Good morning." Rory replied.
"What time is it?"
"It's about 7:00, the smell of coffee woke me up." Jess chuckled.
"I guess that's a perk of living above a diner."
"I have to get up soon for my shift." He said as he leaned over for a kiss. It lasted only a second before Rory pulled away.
"And I have to get home and talk to my mom." Rory said as she leaned in again, this time Jess pulled away a moment later.
"So that means your going to tell her what happened last night." Jess stated
"Yeah, I promised that I would tell her when it happened."
"So should I avoid Lorelai for a while, is she going to want to kill me?" Jess wondered now slightly afraid for his life.
"Nope, because I'm going to bring some coffee with me."
"Ahh the elixir of life I forgot it solves all of life's discomfort. Whether it be being too tired to function to your only daughter is not a virgin anymore." Rory laughed at what he said because it was so true.
"Exactly, now I'm gonna get dressed and your gonna grab me some coffee, then I'm gonna sneak out the back so no one in town can see me and tell my mom before I can."
"Good plan Stan." Jess laughed lightly and leaned in for one more kiss. He pulled away and they both got up and got dressed. Jess grabbed four coffees and wished Rory good luck. He gave her a good-bye kiss and she went on her way.

Rory got home and quietly went into her bedroom. She put on some comfy pj's picked up the coffee and went up to her mother's room.
Lorelai was still asleep when Rory entered her room. She climbed on top of the bed and pulled one of the coffees out of the tray and held it under her mother's nose.
"Is that coffee, I smell? It must be because whoever is trying to wake me up on this fine Sunday morning better have coffee or they should fear for their life." Lorelai said still a little sleepy.
"Yes mom, it's the wonderful elixir of life. And it's from Luke's." Lorelai fully opened her eyes at the mention of Luke's.
"You went to Luke's this early in the morning? Is Luke's even open this early?"
"Yes it's open mom, and I actually didn't go to Luke's this morning, I kind of woke up there." Rory said well there's no sense in beating around the bush is there, I think the conversation will go a lot smoother if I just come out and tell her everything.
"You slept in the Diner? Why would you do that?" Lorelai asked trying to play dumb because she didn't really want to know what really happened.
"No mom I didn't sleep in the Diner I slept in the apartment."
"On the couch?' Lorelai questioned taking a sip of her coffee.
"No with Jess." Rory stated with confidence.
"Are you telling me what I think your telling me?" She said taking another few quick sips of her coffee.
"Yes mom I slept with Jess last night."
"Oh God" Lorelai said downing the rest of her coffee and reaching for another one.
"It's okay mom, we're in love and I was ready."
"Ror, you don't know what you're getting yourself into, sex changes everything, I hope you haven't just screwed up your life." Lorelai said in a very serious tone, making Rory a little mad in the process.
"I didn't screw up my life, we were completely safe." She said in defense.
"You swear."
"I swear mom." Both girls were now calming down.
"And you don't regret anything?"
"Nope."
"And he was good to you."
"Yes he was very good to me." Rory said with a small smile starting to form on her lips.
"Okay that's enough stop talking about it, I don't want any details. I guess I'm okay with this then, I mean at least you waited two years longer than I did. All I'm asking you is to be careful."
"Thanks for understand mom, and I promise we will always be careful."
"Okay kiddo I love you so much and I just want what's best for you."
"I love you to."
"Good, now lets go to Luke's I want to get some breakfast."
"No you don't you want to make Jess uncomfortable."
"I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Sure mom, I'm going to get ready."
"Okay sweets I'll meet you at the door in fifteen minutes." With that discussed The Gilmore Girls got ready and headed out for breakfast
