Chapter 5 – *Over You
                          
Over, I'm so over you
 The way that you look
 In a 3-piece suit
                          
Over, I'm so over you
 The way that you held me
 Like nobody else would
                          
Maybe if I tell myself enough
 Maybe if I do
 I'll get over you
 Maybe if I tell myself enough
 Maybe if I do
 I'll get all over
                          
The last 10 years of Rory's life have been nothing like she thought they would be.  She had always imagined herself in some foxhole reporting the latest news on some current foreign war, or back on the presidential trail like right after college with the Obama Campaign.  Instead she had been in New York for her monthly visit with her publisher.
                          
Her young adult book series, Gilmore Girls, that she had recently sold, was expected to sell like hotcakes and she was in the process of finishing book three.  Of course the suits had notes.  They always had notes, some of which were good, most she knew she could just ignore, it was her editor Kathleen that she trusted to make any editing suggestions, because hers usually made sense, and furthered the story.  Yes she knows the story is basically her life broken up into different books, but the names and places have all been changed to protect the guilty.  
                          
Book One is focuses on her bond with her mom, and the relationship with her grandparents. It throws in a little of her starting Chilton and her friends and meeting Dean. 
                          
Book two will be primarily focused on her time at Chilton and her relationship with Dean and her mom and her relationship with her parents and some of Lorelei's relationship with Max, and she threw in Jess arriving at the end to peak interest (see changed to protect the guilty). 
                          
But book three was where it got interesting, and harder for her to write.  She had to take a hard look at herself and how she had treated Dean once Jess had shown up and that no matter how hard she had tried there was just something about Jess that she was always drawn to.  It had changed over the years from undeniable attraction, to love to friendship, to someone who pushed her to do better.  He had grown so much in the time that she had known him.  He had definitely changed from the unruly haired punk she first met in the Metallica t-Shirt.
                          
Shaking her head she was thankful for the short haircut she had reverted back to It made the morning rush so much easier.  You ran a brush through it and you were done.  Which made life with her ever expanding belly that much easier.  She had planned on spending one day in the conference room and the next exploring the city by herself.  The next night she had a dinner with Jess and his wife planned.  It had been quite a while since they'd seen each other, the day of Luke and her mom's wedding, when he'd told her about his upcoming marriage to Cassidy.
                          
It had shocked her.  No matter who or what was in her life she had always had Jess as this mental safety net.  She had kind of always thought that he was her Luke, the boy, the man that would always be there for her.  Admittedly it had made her jealous.   
                          
However as she began talking to Jess more and more every day, and eventually Cassidy, she knew that the jealousy was not because she loved him, but because she didn't want to go though this pregnancy alone, and while Jess was her Luke in many ways, he was not the love of her life like Luke was to her mom.  He was her best friend, her confidant and someone that knew just what to say to say to knock some sense into her in a way that no one else could.
