Rory gently picked up her copy of Oliver Twist. She opened the cover of it and something fell out. She slowly bent down and picked it up.
It was a picture. Of her and Jess. Together. Happy. Laughing. She didn't even notice the tears that started to fall over her cheeks. She closed her eyes and turned the picture over. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and read what it said:
Rory and Jess: Together Forever
Rory fell onto her bed. She finally acknowledged the tears that were falling onto the pillow. All at once, tons and tons of memories came flooding back to her. She and Jess had been perfect for each other. She'd been in heaven the whole time they together. He'd told her he loved her, but now she truly doubted that he had meant it.
The night of her graduation from Chilton, all of the people closest to her had been there: her mom, Luke, Lane, Dave, her grandparents, Chris, Sherry, Gigi, Sookie, Jackson, and even, surprisingly, Dean. The only person she'd seen the whole time, though, was Jess. All through her valedictorian speech. she stared right into his eyes.
After the ceremony, they'd all congratulated her. Jess was the last one to do so. He just held her and told her how proud he was of her and how perfect she was and how much he loved her. Then they left together and drove back to Stars Hollow. When they got back, they walked to the bridge and just sat for a long time in a comfortable silence, Rory with her head on Jess' shoulder. When they both got tired, they reluctantly got up and walked back to the Gilmore household. When they got to her porch, she had just turned to say something to him, but he cut her off with a long, sweet kiss that made her knees weak. After a few minutes, she slowly pulled away (although she didn't want to) and then smiled at him. Then they said their goodnights and Jess left to walk back to the diner. Rory just stood there watching him, thinking of how perfect he was. Little did she know, things wouldn't be the same ever again.
The next morning, Rory walked into the diner and scanned the room for Jess. She didn't see him so she went to the counter and waited for Luke.
"Hey Luke, where's Jess at?"
"Uh, hey Rory, he's not here."
"Oh, ok, well, where'd he go then?"
Luke looked down, afraid to see the look on her face. "Um, well Ror, I'm not sure. He left before I got up and when I went into his room to wake him, he wasn't there and a lot of his stuff was gone, too."
"What?!" Rory screamed. Luke didn't get the chance to say anything else to her though because she was already half way up the steps to the apartment.
She ran in and went straight to Jess' room. She threw open the door and then just stood there, shocked. She look around the room. All of his clothes, books, and CD's were gone. All that was left in the room was his bed, dresser, and stereo. She was a box sitting on his bed. She sat down on the bed and slowly opened the box. She went through it and then picked it up and threw it at the wall as she broke down crying. Pictures of her or her and Jess and letters from her scattered all around the room. She laid on the bed, upset, frustrated, and confused all at the same time. How could he do this to her? Why did he do this to her? Did she do something?
It was now five years later and those same questions were going through her head. She now lived in New York and was pursuing a career in journalism at the New York Times. She had attended Harvard and graduated in the top 5% of her class. Her life had never been the same, though, without Jess. No one had ever heard from him again, even Luke. It was like he had disappeared into thin air. Pretty soon he'd be reappearing though, and she didn't even know it yet.
