CHAPTER FIVE
"Wait..Mia!" Dean chases his sister down. "What was that guy talking about? Did something happen?"
Mia takes a deep breath and shakes her head. "He was trying to mess with you, Dean."
"Mia, you've been upset for weeks about it. Did he say something to you?" Dean asks, his sister was usually a very happy person all together and this guy had the effect on her to upset her for weeks. It just had to be something.
"Look, it's fine." Mia shook his head. "He just told me to butt out of his business and that whatever I thought of him wasn't ever going to happen and that I was wasting my time." Mia says before continuing to walk home. "I'd watch out though if I were you. He seems like he's taken quite an interest in Rory."
-
Mia arrived at the inn with her two siblings, automatically meeting Rory at the door. "Hey." She smiled, the first time they had spoken in a good two weeks or so.
"Hey Mia." Rory smiles and then looks at Clara and down at her dress. "Hey Clara. Nice, is that a Stella McCartney?" Rory asked and Mia and Dean watched them talk - Dean loved having his girlfriend get along with his family.
"It's a Wal-Mart. My mom bought it for tonight." Clara says in confusion.
"Well, it's very pretty. She has great taste. " Rory chuckles, trying to move the conversation on, fear of embarrassing herself any further.
Dean sees Jess walk in and Mia automatically drops her head. It was about more than his petty jealousness now. "I think I'm gonna go talk to Lane." Mia says as Jess walks over to them.
"I didn't know he was coming." Dean huffs and looks at Rory.
"Who?" Rory looks around.
"Jess." Dean says, pointing at the boy who got stopped by his uncle, forced to have small talk with people around the inn.
"Yeah. Is that a problem?" Rory asks, confused. He knew she would try her best to help if there was an issue.
He took a deep breath, not wanting to start too much drama but couldn't keep himself silent when it came to this. "It's just that, he got into this fight with this guy at school, and when I broke it up he started in on me. And then I find out that the night after the dinner, he was a complete jerk to Mia. That's my sister, it's not cool." He shakes his head.
Rory was confused. Jess always said good things about Mia, she even thought he liked her a little bit. "Why would he do that?" She took a breath.
