Rory sat in her car and put it in drive. She drove away and turned on the radio. She hated that someone always left, especially now since it was her. Rory and Jess. Jess and Rory. They fit perfectly but something was always missing. A song she hadn't heard before was playing.
This time,
This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long too late
Who was I to
make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case
there's just one left
'Cause you know,
You know
You know
The memory of her and Jess popped into her brain when he called her at graduation. She said she might have loved him but that she would have to let it go. This was a lie. She didn't think she might have she knew. She only said this so maybe he would speak up and say he'd come back for her. Rory waited a couple seconds but hung up because he never said anything and she figured he didn't love her and he had already gotten over her.
I love you
I've loved you all along
I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
I'll stop breathing
If I don't see you anymore
On my knees
I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you
I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
Cause you know
You know
You know
This verse reminded her about the time when Jess showed up at Yale. He asked her to come away with her after not seeing her for two years. She wanted to say yes but she couldn't trust him. She regretted saying no every day after.
I love you
I've loved you all along
I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
I'll stop breathing
If I don't see you anymore
So far away
So far away
Far away for far too long
So far away
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know
You know
You know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you
I've loved you along
And I forgive you
For being far away for far too long
So keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
This could be her future. Was it silly to base her future on a song? Yes but she didn't care. She was in love and that's the way it would stay. Rory Gilmore had always been in love with Jess Mariano. She was just too blind to see it. She turned the car around and drove until she was back outside at Truncheons.
Keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
