Disclaimer: No, I don't own Gilmore Girls. Or the people, although I do
have a very special person in my life who is named Jes, the real Milo is
not mine sadly enough. The story is mine though.
Pairing: J/R
A/N: It takes place after Jes left in 'Teach me Tonight', a lot has been swishied up since then so...
Jes sat there staring at Rory playing with her hands. She seemed to be trying to hold back something. Something that was obviously tearing her up inside. I just wish she would tell me what it was already. Her uneasiness was driving him nuts.
Jes took a step towards Rory. Was it just his imagination or did she seem to jump, just a bit. Jes couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed Rory's shoulders softly, and forced her to look at him. "What's wrong with you??"
"I cried, did y' know that?" Rory stated simply.
"What?! Why did you cry?! Rory?!" Jes asked bewildered.
"You just left. My mom couldn't have been happier. And Dean seemed to have cared less. But me... No I didn't just shrug and let it roll off. I thought about your departure nonstop till I thought my head would burst, I lost a lot of sleep and did miserable in school, I even forgot about coffee!! All because when I realized two days later that you were really gone... I had become too depressed to even think straight."
"Why?! Because of me... you gave up coffee, geez I wonder what kind of a job I did on you?!." He said smirking.
"Yes because of you! I not only lost a friend but something more.. but since you seem to think this is funny I'm just going to leave and hope the next time you leave, you do us all a favor and DON'T come back!" Rory finished full of rage.
"If that's what you really want..." Jes started, then stopped. He began his to walk in the opposite direction not even looking back. If she didn't want him, then what was the use coming back. He felt his eyes begins to moisten with unintentional tears.
Jes began to pick up the pace, Luke's Diner was within a block of where he was. If only he could get to his room before the whole town has something more to gossip about.

Rory watched Jes's retreating back and saw how his back seemed to slouch even more than usual. She knew she had hurt him but what was she supposed to do, he didn't even care. Or if he did he didn't care ENOUGH to show it. Rory knew she had to do something, no one deserved what she had said, not even him. But she did love him and she just wanted him to see it.
Rory caught up with Jes; her steps two behind his. They were nearing Luke's and she knew he would attempt a run for it. One...Two... Luke's was so close she could hear Caesar in the kitchen flipping the fat-filled burgers.
"JES!!" Rory shouted.
She saw his face begin to turn towards her. But at the last moment before he was completely face forward to her, he turned and started walking with slightly hasty steps.
She had to stop this. She had feelings for him, and she knew he did likewise towards her, why wouldn't he just succumb to them already??.
Rory put out her hard fast and grabbed his shoulder quickly, turning him to her. They had now locked eyes. And for once she actually saw the REAL Jes. She finally could see what had been written all over his face the whole time. HURT, LONGING for exceptance, and maybe just a little of a childish side resurfacing from a past that had once had it stolen from him.
Rory grabbed him in a hug, even when he attempted to pull away she just held on tighter. She had needed this for so long, but he needed this so much more. She just needed to let him know someone did care. And this someone wasn't ever letting go, at least not in this lifetime!!

Jes was taken aback when Rory had turned him so fiercely. He could tell she was in full-on determination mode. But when she searched his eyes, something had made her eyes smile with gladness. He didn't know what it was, but the next thing he DID know was RORY GILMORE was hugging him tightly. Maybe just a little too tightly. He tried to pull away but that only made her tighten the embrace. What was going on with this girl?! Had she completely forgot about her extremely 'tall' boyfriend, or her inane mother!!??
"Rory are you ok??"
"You can't just stay quiet for a just a single minute, even to enjoy the moment, can you??"
"Oh right." Jes said.
(A/N: Let me know if I should continue this? Or leave it like it is! And think hard too b/c right now it's not so bad, but if I continue this story might end up going to pot! Well not literally but you know what I mean. Thanks so much!!)
