Disclaimer: I own nothing. Author's note: The song is in fact Crestfallen by The Smashing Pumpkins. I know Rory hates the Smashing Pumpkins, but it just fit so well, you'll have to overlook that.

Who am I to need you when I'm down

Where are you when I need you around

your life is not your own

And all I ask you

Is for another chance

Another way around you

To live by circumstance, once again

Jess had come to Rory's dorm room that night to ask for forgiveness. He wanted to show her she could count on him. He wanted to be with her so bad, but he realized now what made her say no and break his heart. He had already broken hers, repeatedly. He knew now his proposal had been outlandish, crazy even, but he loved her.

Who am I to need you now

To ask you why to tell you no To deserve your love and sympathy

You were never meant to belong to me

When Jess heard about the scandal in Stars Hollow, it broke him, but it made him wake up. Rory had slept with a married man. The princess of Stars Hollow wasn't so innocent after all. Jess still thought of her as perfect, though. He convinced himself that she wasn't supposed to be his. She was too good for him. He didn't deserve her, and maybe he had drove her to the mess she was in.

And you may go, but I know you won't leave

Too many years built into memories

Your life is not your own

Jess also knew that even though she was out of his life, he would never forget her. She was the only person he'd ever loved.

Who am I to need you now

To ask you why to tell you no

To deserve your love and sympathy

You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I to you?

Along the way

I lost my faith

He wondered what exactly she thought of him, if she thought of him. Somewhere along the way, he became clueless.

And as you were, you'll be again

To mold like clay, to break like dirt

To tear me up in your sympathy

You were never meant to belong to me

You were never meant to belong to me

You were never meant to belong to me

He knew she'd return to the way she was. It'd be like he never existed. It would be better that way for her. And if she did sympathize with him it would be a waste of feeling, because he was the one to blame. He had shattered things so badly that they couldn't be fixed. Why should she feel sorry for him?

Who am I?

Author's Note: What do you think? I wanted to tell it like Jess felt. I'm not saying he is to blame and that he is a bad person, I'm just saying that's how I think he would feel.
