A/N: This is my first fanfiction ever so sorry if it's not very good! I am a big fan of Rory/Jess so I really want them to have a happily ever after but you'll have to see how my story works out! I got the idea for this from something Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) suggested to the writing team for Gilmore Girls but they didn't accept it. It's set while Rory and Logan are still together and 6.08 did happen and so did 'The real Paul Anka'. Luke and Lorelai are together.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any of its characters. If I did own Jess do you seriously think I would be spending my time writing this!
In Logan's car driving towards his place:
Rory: (sniggering) Wow, Finn was so wasted! I mean I know he drinks a lot regularly but tonight he was completely drunk more than I've ever seen him! He barely ever remembers my name but tonight he couldn't remember his own name or where on earth he was!
Logan: I've seen him worse.
Rory: (shocked) really? No way! When?
Logan: At his bachelor party a few years back.
Rory: But he's never been married.
Logan: yeah that's what I said and he said its because he didn't want to get married but he wanted another excuse to get totally drunk and hire a stripper.
Rory: Since when did he need an excuse?!
Logan: (laughs)
Rory's phone starts ringing
Rory: (picks it up) Hello.
Luke: Hey Rory its Luke.
Rory: Oh hey Luke what's up?
Luke: There's something I have to tell you.
Rory: Okay shoot.
Luke: It's about Jess.
Rory: (expression changes to pale) Oh, what about him? (swallows nervously)
Luke: (takes a deep breath) He's in hospital.
Rory: (worried) What? Why?
Luke: someone idiot crashed into his car.
Rory: Oh my God is he Okay?
Luke: It's hard to say.
Rory: Well where is he I wanna make sure he's Okay?
Luke: West New York Hospital he was doing so business there concerning his book.
Rory: I'll be there as soon as I can. (hangs up the phone and breaths shakily)
Logan: What was all that about?
Rory: I need you to take me to the West New York Hospital.
Logan: Okay but why is it your mom?
Rory: No. (still breathing shakily)
Logan: Well then who is it (he says while turning car round)
Rory: Jess.
Logan: wait the writer guy?
Rory: That's the one.
Logan: Oh no, no, no, no.
Rory: You have to he was in a car accident and I don't have time to go get my car.
Logan: but…
Rory: He could be dying.
Logan: (reluctantly) fine okay I'll take to you to your precious Jack.
Rory: J-E-S-S! Its Jess not Jack not Jim just Jess!
Logan: Fine Jess!
Rory: God, how insensitive are you?
Logan: How naïve are you?
Rory: what are you talking about?
Logan: Isn't obvious?
Rory: apparently not!
Logan: He's just trying to get you back I saw the way he looked at you.
Rory: Oh my God are you seriously suggesting he got himself in a car accident just to tick you off?
Logan: Whatever.
Rory: Yeah Whatever.
Meanwhile at the hospital.
(Liz, TJ, Jimmy, Sasha and Lily all walk out of Jess' room.)
Luke: (to Liz) can I go in?
Liz: sure.
Luke: Hey Jess, how are you feeling.
Jess: (feebly) not so good.
Luke: right, right.
Jess: I'm sorry.
Luke: For what?
Jess: For screwing up when you gave me a chance.
Luke: You didn't screw up I mean look at you now you're an author.
Jess: No actually right now I'm lying in a hospital bed with several severe injuries.
Luke: You know what I mean.
Jess: Yeah I know.
Luke: Okay so I'm gonna let you get some rest.
Jess: Alright, thanks, for everything.
Lorelai: (to Luke) I'm just gonna…and…see how Jess is doing. (walks into Jess' room) Hey Jess.
Jess: Hi.
Lorelai: Rory will be here soon.
Jess: Oh okay.
Lorelai: So I just wanted to talk to you about stuff…the past…you know.
Jess: Okay but I've got a major headache so please don't yell.
Lorelai: No not that kinda talk.
Jess: alright.
Lorelai: I just wanted you to know that I guess you weren't so bad and now you seem to have grown up and matured.
Jess: (slightly baffled about what this crazy woman was talking about) Okay.
Lorelai: And I'm sorry if sometimes I wasn't so forgiving towards you. I really do believe that Rory loved you. She really missed you y'know.
Jess: (no I didn't know!) Well I'm sorry for screwing up your daughter's life.
Lorelai: You didn't. She didn't drop out of Yale because of you, although I think she went back because of you.
Jess: ha?
Lorelai: Just a psychic guess! Anyway you probably want me to go now so I will. Get well soon and I'll be outside. (woah that was kinda awkward!)
(Jess watches her leave slightly confused but slightly pleased too.)
Back to Logan's car.
The rest of the journey is spent in silence.
Logan: well here you are.
Rory: (coldly) Thanks.
Logan: Look, Rory I'm sorry.
Rory: (once again coldly) Yeah you always are.
Logan: what's that supposed to mean.
Rory: (sarcastically) Nothing! (seriously) You know what forget it just forget everything I've ever said to you ever.
Logan: What the….
Rory: I don't think this is working…me and you.
Logan: But…
Rory: Sorry. See you around I guess.
Logan: (sighs) (quietly says) Yeah see you around.
Rory: (At the reception of the Hospital.) Hello, excuse me, could you tell me where Jess Mariano's room is please?
Receptionist: One minute.
Rory: (angrily) He could be dead in a minute now tell me where his room is!
Luke: (appears through some doors) It's right this way Rory.
Rory: Thank you Luke.
(She looks into Jess' room takes a deep breath and walks in)
Rory: (faintly) Hey Dodger.
Jess: Hey yourself.
Rory: (sits down next to him) I'm sorry.
Jess: What?
Rory: (starts to cry) I'm sorry. For everything I've been a complete idiot. I'm sorry that I left you hanging that summer while I was in Washington, I'm sorry that I kissed you and then stayed with Dean, I'm sorry that I pretended I would get over you when you left, I'm sorry that when you told me that you…how you felt about me all I could do was stand there. Deep in my heart it was saying 'Go Rory run after him' but my Brain said to my legs and mouth 'No way you just ran away from him and remember he left you' so my legs and mouth listened and my heart was just there feeling all ganged-up-on. I'm sorry that when you asked me to go with you I just yelled I was so shocked and I'm not gonna make excuses. I'm sorry that when you came to Hartford I was a totally different me and I'm sorry that Logan was being an ass. I'm sorry that I was a total complete jerk at your bookstore I totally took advantage of you and I'm so, so sorry Jess.
Jess: It's okay. (smiles)
Rory: (smiles gently back) Jess, I love you.
(Jess smiles weakly and suddenly his heartbeat monitor goes crazy. One of Rory's tears drops onto his cheek and as it does he closes is eyes and dies.)
Rory starts crying hysterically with her head on his chest all the others come in. Lorelai puts her hand on Rory's right shoulder and Luke puts one of his hands on Rory's left shoulder and the other on Jess. Liz and TJ stand on one side of his bed with Liz's hand on his leg and Jimmy, Sasha and Lily stand on the other side with their hand's on his other leg. They all stand there upset that he's gone for good. All Jess' life he never knew this many people cared about him but now he's dead he left the world leaving it changed and mourning.
AN: Please Review I wanna know if it was totally rubbish and not worth me bothering or whether I should do another chapter on Rory arranging his funeral. Please pretty please review!! Sorry it wasn't a Lit happily ever after!
