Hey, I'm back with an idea that hit me the other day. So it's "Those Are Strings Pinocchio" with a twist. I'll just say that it's Literati and I don't think this is very good, but I will hopefully get better. (Note: The Title is a song from the Wedding Singer Musical. Listen it and see how perfectly this song describes Rory and Jess) Anyway enjoy!

Ch. 1: Ring, Ring, Crash

RING! Rory Gilmore dug into her graduation gown pocket and pulled out her cell phone, only to met be silence on the other end. "Hello, Hello." She checked for reception, but saw it was fine.

"Hang up?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah." Rory closed the phone, trying to hide the look of disappointment and anger on her face.

"You've been getting a lot of those lately." Lorelai gave her daughter a sympathetic look.

The phone rang again and Rory opened it in a flash. "Hello, hello." She gave her mother a look then walked into the building.

"Jess, is that you?" she asked calmly. "Jess, I'm pretty sure it's you and I'm pretty sure you've been calling and not saying anything but want to say something." She took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check. "Hello….you're not going to talk, fine I'll talk. You didn't handle things right, at all. You could've talked to me. You could've told me that you were having trouble in school and weren't going to graduate, and that your dad had been there, but you didn't and you ended up not taking me to my prom and not coming to my graduation, and leaving again without saying good-bye again and…." She was on the verge of tears but she was supposed to sound angry. "That's fine, I get it but that's it for me. I'm going to Europe tomorrow and I'm going to Yale and I'm moving on and I'm not going to pine. I hope you didn't think I was going to pine, okay. I think…." She was about to cry, but she needed to get the words out. "I think I may have loved you, but I..I need to let it go…."

She felt tears slide down her cheeks and before she knew it the words she wanted to say came tumbling out of her mouth. "I need to let it go but I can't Jess. You put me through hell for those six months Jess. You would be a jerk like blowing me off, and then you would turn around and surprise me with Distiller tickets and then I would forget about it. But, the party Jess." She was sobbing by now and furiously wiping her eyes. "What happened at the party was unforgivable. You tried pushing me and then you get into a fight with Dean, and to top it all off, you walk away from me. You left again without saying good-bye. You promised me you would never do that again but you did. That hurt the most. With everything that happened, I loved you. I still love you. I wish I could hate you because it would be so much easier, but I can't." She took a deep breath and continued, "So that's it, I guess. I-I hope you're good. I want you to be good and um good-bye. That word sounds really lame and stupid right now, but there it is good-bye." She flipped the phone shut and trying to calm down walked outside to rejoin her mother.

XXXXXXXXX

Jess hung up the phone after hearing Rory's rant. What have I done? The most incredible girl in the world… and I blew it. I need to fix this. He took a deep breath and made his way to the bus station.

XXXXXXXX

Rory gripped the steering wheel of her new car as she drove home, trying to find a radio station to listen to. She finally found one when a Distillers song came on. "Of course." She murmured. This was the last song for the concert. Suddenly her mind floated back to the concert, Jess's arm around her as they listened to the music.

BLARE! A horn erupted through the air and Rory came back to reality when a large truck suddenly stopped right in front. Rory slammed on the brakes.

CRASH!

End of chapter 1. First off don't worry, Rory's not dead, or anything. That's just dumb. Second, I know it is extremely short, but no fear, the chapters will be getting longer. Scout's Honor. Let me know what you think.
