Pairings: Lit/ Rory-Jess
Summary- Rory is 24, an author, and writing her life growing up. She's stuck at writing this so has to remember everything that so wonderfully and heartbreakingly happened to her growing up. With Jess.
Rory sat at the edge of her chair frustrated that she couldn't put all her ideas into words. She had sat there at least a thousand times writing without having to stop and remember. It all used to come so easily but for the first time it couldn't.
Rory Gilmore was one of the best authors for her company. She topped the New York Times bestsellers list many of times. She was famed for her writing of her creative children's books, her novellas and her huge novels. But she now was writing an autobiographic story of her life.
For many she was a dreamer who succeeded . She was only 24 of course and was so gifted already. She had gone through so much evil and heartbreak that many thought she would have given up by now. But if anyone knew Rory Leigh Gilmore that was one thing she couldn't do.
She kept typing one word on her blue laptop and then erasing it. That was all you would hear from her little apartment in New York…. Now all she had to do was remember. This is her story.
Flashback to when she was 16
"Rory!" her mother shouted. "where's the new coffee?"
"I don't know!" She was in her room trying to get her hair up in a high ponytail.
"I mean I just brought some the other day." Lorelai sulked.
"Maybe you drank it already." Rory reasoned coming out of her room to help.
"I couldn't drink that much."
Rory just gave her a look knowing that her mom could easily drink that much.
"Fine. We'll just have to go to Luke's"
"Mom I don't have time." She begged but her mother already had her by the arm and dragging her out to the car.
"Well, neither do I but we need coffee."
"If I'm late for school you are in trouble" Lorelai just laughed and shut the door.
"Hi Luke." Lorelai greeted happily. Rory and her chose to sit at the counter.
"Rory, Lorelai. What do you want besides your usual 10 cups of coffee?"
"Pancakes!" Lorelai cheered.
"Rory? What would you like?" Luke asked filling their coffee cups.
"Actually I'm not hungry today." Rory frowned as she glanced at her watch. School was starting in 15 minutes and she had already missed her bus.
"Ouch!" Rory exclaimed as she felt her mom kick her leg. "That hurt."
"You have to eat something."
"I'm late."
"What? You're pregnant?" Lorelai gasped.
"NO MOM. I'm late for school. I don't have time for food."
"Oh my god. We are late." She screeched as she glanced at her cell phone's time.
Jess walked down the stairs from the apartment. He caught Rory's eyes but she looked down breaking their connection.
"So can go take me to school. You're the one who wanted to come here." Rory said to her mother.
"You mean you didn't want to come here for the festivities?" Jess said sarcastically.
"We're not talking to you Jess." Luke said bluntly.
Jess put his hands up surrendering. "Sorry Uncle Luke-y"
"Stop calling me that." Luke warned.
Jess just smiled and started to walk out the door.
"Wait Jess!" Lorelai yelled.
Jess turned a half circle and smiled. "What?"
"Where are you going?"
"Out?"
"Out where?" Lorelai asked scaring down her pancakes.
"Out."
"Can you bring Rory to her school? I have to get to work I'm late." Rory turned to her mom sharply.
Why would her mom ask that. Lorelai hated Jess. She wanted to strangle Jess if she had a chance. Now she was asking him to bring her only daughter in his car to school.
"Umm Sure." He glanced at Rory and half-smiled. "Come on Ms Gilmore, you don't want to be late for school."
"And after that Jess you have to get to school too!" Luke called after them as they left the dinner.
"Thanks" Rory said breaking the awkward silence. They had been driving for 5 minutes but neither one had said anything for a while.
"For what?" Jess said, looking away from the road for a second to look at the innocent girl next in the passenger seat. Jess had "borrowed" Luke's truck.
"For driving me."
"No prob."
"I mean now you are going to be late to school and everything." Rory said quietly as she fiddled with her skirt.
"I'm not going." Jess announced quietly.
"Why not?" Rory stopped touching her skirt and looked over at him. He was so smart but didn't want to try hard enough to make anything happen.
"Don't wanna."
"Hmmm."
"I have an idea." Jess swerved the car into a U-turn and drove the car in the other direction.
"What the hell are you doing!!!??"
"We're going to skip school and have an adventure today."
"I can't?"
"why? Because if you missed one day of school they'd banish you from Harvard and every other college?"
Jess glanced over at her and saw the her face change.
"Fine." Rory said sitting up straight in her seat. "It's time I had an adventure."
