Prologue
Rory lay on her bed thinking about what her mother had told her before about Jess.
Why did he leave? Was he simply running again because life had gotten too hard and complicated or was it because of her.
these question were preventing her from much needed sleep. getting sick of thinking about it and not getting sleep she grabbed a schoolbook to study some more fore tomorrow's...no later this mornings exam. focussing completely on her book the thoughts of Jess were driven back to the back of her mind.
As she finished the chapter she was studying she turned off the light again and put the book away. her mind no longer thinking off Jess she drifted off to sleep.
Dream
Rory looked around to find herself standing in a room full of books. she walked closer to read the titles but stopped when she heard a noise in a closet. she walked to the closet in the room and opened it to find a girl sitting in it reading a book.
"hi" Rory said to the girl. "what's your name?" she asked the girl when the girl looked at her.
"It's not me you're looking for." the little girl replied. "he's that way" she told Rory.
"Huh, who is?" Rory asked confused.
The girl simply smiled and closed the closet door. confused Rory started walking to where the girl had pointed to where he was.
As Rory opened the door to another room she entered a bedroom. she noticed someone sleeping and recognized him as Jess. she froze and stood there a while watching him sleep. she then found herself taking a step to him. she took another step and another until she was at his side. she then sat next to him and looked at him. "jess" she whispered softly her hand touching his face. she noticed she was crying.
Jess awoke from the feel of wetness dripping down on him. he opened his eyes and looked at "Rory" he said suddenly feeling wide awake. as he sat up and looked at her "I'm sorry" he said to her figuring this was a dream. Rory slapped him hard then hugged him close to her. confused as hell Jess put his arms around her, comforting her. Rory then pulled back.
she was about to say something when she heard a annoying sound. she looked around to determine it s origin then looked back at Jess who just looked at her confused. not hearing the sound.
"Can't you hear..." she started.
end dream
Rory found herself in her bed her alarm clock making noise. she found her pillow wet and her cheeks were also wet with salty tears. it was a dream? of course it was. you knew it was. It was just very vivid but still just a dream. She turned off her alarm clock and got out of bed. trying to forget about her dream she focussed on her tight schedule. need coffee she thought and walked to the kitchen to find her mother already up as well and drinking coffee.
"morning" her mother greeted her, Rory didn't say anything back but just seated herself in a chair and took her mother coffee mug which only had a quarter in and finished it.
Meanwhile in California
Jess woke up and half expected to find Rory sitting beside him looking at him. disappointed and angry at himself he got up. he looked out the sunny California sun. this place was a bit too sunny for his taste. But where else am I going to go. I got kicked out of school. screwed it up with Luke. screwed it up with Rory. Mom is crazy, and this is a chance to get to know my father.
