What if Rory had written a letter to Jess thanking him for encouraging her to go back to Yale? What if she left it sitting on her desk while she ran out for coffee?
Just had this idea and had to write it!
Set soon before Yale graduation. Every thing's still the same, haven't altered the storyline of the show.
I also do not own any part of Gilmore Girls. If I did, Jess and Rory would have ended up together.
Dear Jess,
I know you probably don't want to hear from me, seeing as our last encounter didn't end well. I'm sorry for hurting you. I should have told you from the start that Logan and I were still together. Instead I led you on, thinking that I was getting back at him, that somehow he would feel the same pain I felt. It wasn't fair of me to use you like that. The last thing I ever wanted was to hurt you.
Anyway, I wanted to write to thank you. Thank you for talking some sense into me. Everyone else tried to but I wouldn't listen. You were the only person who really got through to me and made me rethink everything I had done. You were always the only one who could make me do that, the only one who understood me well enough to know exactly what to say to me in any situation. You always knew exactly what I needed to hear. Not even my mom knows me that well. I just wish we had gotten the chance to see if we could make things right.
I did love you Jess, and I don't think I've ever stopped. You've always been in the back of my mind. The only thing I could do not to think about you was to find other relationships to keep me occupied. Sure, I love Logan. Which is probably the last thing you want to hear, but I want to tell you why. I love him because he's safe and we're comfortable together. I know that I can depend on him. Sometimes though, that isn't enough. He doesn't make me feel real and alive. With him it's almost like I'm watching a movie about my life, like I'm not really living it, but just watching it pass by me. It was never like that with you, you made me chase after life.
I would give anything to get that feeling back, to have you back in my life. Not that you'll ever know that though, because you'll never read this. How is it that I'm able to write all this down but not tell you?
Love always,
Rory
"Hello?"
"Fruit of my loins!" Lorelai exclaimed into the phone.
"Hey mom."
"Where are you?"
"Weston's, I was just going to get coffee but then I got hungry so I'm having some pie," Rory replied.
"That's my girl! Ok well that's perfect, I'm just about to leave the Inn so I'll see you at home in 20?"
"Sure thing, bye mom."
"Bye doll!" Lorelai quickly ended the call and picked up the letter, racing out the door. She had just enough time to get to the Inn, make a copy of the letter, and get home to put the original back where she had found it.
A/N: I realize Rory's letter may not sound like a love letter, but I had a really hard time thinking of how to expand on it. I know this was really short but I didn't want to drag out the beginning. The next chapter will probably be short too, just a forewarning. But for Lit fans, the short chapters will be worth it! I'll update soon!
