the dog days are over, [ lorelai + jesse ]

[Jesse St. James]

"A dream is something that fills up the emptiness inside. The one thing that, you know if it came true, all of the hurt would go away."

"Who am I to break this young girl's heart?/How the mighty rise and fall/I will not be beaten/You have yet to see me shining, shining/I wont take this lying down/I will not be beaten
You have yet to see me shining, shining."

He worried about Lore. How bad of a thing could she have gotten herself into? Whatever it was, he felt sure that she was forced into it. She was too good to do get some sort of sexually transmitted disease. It didn't seem like something she'd be into. No. He felt sure that if it was a sexual disease, she was forced into it. But, whatever it was, it had to be bad. If she was willing to allow people to make up horrible rumors about her, the truth must've been something truly horrible. He could only hope that it was less awful than she thought. But, he doubted it. Diseases usually weren't things that could be perspectively skewed. The doctor told you straight and that was that. It was as bad as the tests told you. But, either way, Jesse felt awful. It wasn't fair that a girl as kind as her could go through something so awful. It just wasn't fair.

He didn't seem like he could understand. How could it be her fault? He desperately wanted to know but didn't want to shove her over the edge. That wouldn't be fair to her. Besides, he didn't want to drive his new friend away. She was one of the few people who didn't try to judge him. That trait was very desirable to him in a friend. But, he felt bad that he didn't want to accept this truth about her. It was hard for him to really get a grip on. But, he wanted to try.

His face drew into a deep grimness. "Okay. If you're sure. Just as long as someone knows." He looked up at her and gave her a sad smile. "I'm so sorry, though. It's not fair. And I wish I could try and help." His face went through several emotions. First, confusion. Then, sadness. Followed quickly by decidedness. He looked up at her, his face very decided. A small, sad smile drew across his face. "How can I help?" He wouldn't take no for an answer. He might loose this new friend early in her life. But, he would do his best to help her while she was still with them.

He could tell by her face that she was very passionate about music. She was very at ease with this topic, it seemed. His face grew into a bright smile. She didn't take crap from people who tried to change her. A trait they shared. "Oh yeah? Thats so cool. I'm glad you didn't let them change you." He shook his head. "I play the piano. I've played it since I was six. So, I'm fairly good at it." He smiled. "Please. Do it. They are the best thing for you right now. They're a family. Trust me."
