Summary
Jess Mariano has learned not to count on anyone. Growing up with a mother whose love is as unreliable as her boyfriends, Jess survives by staying sharp, silent, and detached. Panic attacks come and go. So do the adults in his life.
Until Luke.
This is the story of a boy who expects to be abandoned and the man who refuses to leave. A story of reluctant caretakers, and the slow, painful work of learning how to trust someone who means it.

Summary
Jess had just gotten used to things at Stars Hollow, especially at high school, so when he ends up making out with another boy in the locker room, he's uncomfortable again, wondering how to tell Luke when an unexpected guest shows up at the diner.
Cue Lorelai and Rory being awesome friends also.

Summary
When red spots start appearing on Jess's skin, he tries to ignore them at first. Sure, he feels quite ill but it's nothing he can't handle. It's embarrassing. Chickenpox is a children's disease, right? Surely it cannot be that serious for seventeen-year-olds.
Turns out it is. Luke is worried, but dealing with an angry, sick teenager isn't a walk in the park.
