You were the only other person Jess hung out with in Stars Hollow besides Rory. You couldn't help but like him, how could you not when he opened up to you so much? Made you understand him? He was always there for you, every conversation you guys had was deep. But he was all over Rory Gilmore, Stars Hollow's sweetheart, everyone loved her. Every guy you've ever liked went for her. First Dean, now Jess. He was madly in love with her it seemed. The worst part was that he talked about her to you all the time.

You were at Luke's diner, helping Jess study. Of course he wasn't paying attention, you expected that but you turn to realize he's looking at Rory. The way he looks at her, you wished he'd look at you like that. The way he looked at Rory was the way you looked at him.
