Gilmore Girl Fan fiction – You jump, I jump Jack
Prologue
He had proposed, I felt weird just saying that, I knew that we had been heading that way for a while but it actually happening to me well it had been a big surprise. I was sat on my bed at the apartment with boxes surrounding me, 12 boxes that was everything I owned from my college life. The pro/con list in front of me was a mile long and yet I still didn't know how to answer. All I could think was that he loved me and I loved him, shouldn't it be simple. Then I realised who was holding me back, I grabbed my phone and pressed my speed dial number 1.
"Rory, why are you calling me at 4 in the morning? You do realise it's an ungodly hour right? Mommy hasn't had coffee yet sweets, this phone call could prove to be very dangerous for you in the future. Is everything alright? What's wrong shouldn't you be asleep or something normal like that?" Lorelai answered groggily.
"Mom can I do it, is it right for me, I mean should I marry Logan? Mommy tell me what to do?"
"Rory I can't tell you what to do, you know in your heart if this is the right thing for you sweets. Now get off the phone and sleep on it, everything will be clear in the morning."
With that Lorelai hung up the phone and I just sat there looking at my phone in disbelief. Mum had basically just told me she didn't mind which in turn could mean she actually liked Logan. I did just as my mum said and fell asleep amidst the boxes and sheets of paper holding my speech and the massive pro-con lists.
Chapter one
I was waiting to deliver my speech to the huge number of college graduates sat in the audience. I had won the honour of making the student speech, I didn't know how I had won but I had.
"And now for our chosen student Lorelai Leigh Gilmore."
I crossed the stage apprehensively, my entire family were in the audience, and everyone including the head of Yale was expecting me to give the speech of a lifetime. Under the watchful eyes of the audience, probably waiting for me to trip or fall, I stood behind the lectern. I met the eyes of a person who mattered most to me, well apart from my mother. He was there, Logan was there expecting an answer, well I had one and I had decided right I was sure.
"Today is one of the most important days of our lives. Were graduating college, it's taken us 4 years to get to this point and it's been hard work. We have been given the best teachers, mentors and helpers to get us here. We couldn't have done this without them, our lives depend on today. The jobs we'll get the people we'll meet and the lives we will live but none of these would be possible without Yale, I know that this has been the best four years of my life and I'm sure it's the same for many of you sat here today. I'd just like to say thank you to the people that made this happen. For me that's the many professors and mentors I've had over the years without whom I probably would have failed at the first hurdle. Thank you. My grandparents, Richard and Emily Gilmore, who pushed me when I needed it most, without them I wouldn't be here today, thank you. My mom, the one who has always supported me and pushed me to do my very best, thank you. Finally, my boyfriend Logan, without him I wouldn't have really lived my years here at Yale, thank you. Oh and Logan?"
I watched as he looked straight into my eyes, I held up my right hand and pointed to my ring finger.
"You jump, I jump Jack," and with that he stood up from his aisle seat ran towards the stage, did an insane jump onto that stage and gave me the biggest and most meaningful kiss of my life. The crowd broke into applause as Logan gave me a back bending kiss, when we came up for air, he had tears running down his face similar to mine and my mums and my grandparents. I was surprised to see my granddad crying but he was. This was the most perfect moment of my life.
