A/N: Hey everyone, this is my first fanfic so please bear with me. It is mainly a story of a random thing I thought of. Although I know it has already been done before. I love Gilmore Girls and way Amy Sherman Palladino wrote it but I wanted to give it a little bit of my own so please R&R and tell me what you think :P. Sorry about my ranting and my long A/N so now on with the story! (Btw F(#) stands for flashback)
Chapter one:
A 17-year-old Rory was in her room, on her bed, reading, when somehow a sudden memory of her and Jess came to her mind, it was maybe the best and sweetest memory of him she ever had, the day he made her something that symbolized their friendship…
F1:
"Rory! Rory! Rory!" yelled and excited 5-year-old Jess.
"What!" answered an also excited 5-year-old Rory.
"Look what I made for you!" he said still very excited if not more.
"What is it?" she asked when he handed her a blue heart with the letter 'R' written in the middle in pink.
"It's a thing, you, um, hang on your wall, I think, I made it for you at school yesterday but I didn't see you so I couldn't give it to you" he said with a shy smile.
"Oh Jess, thank you, I love it! It's so pretty and original!" she said with a wide smile.
"Common Rory, don't get all mushy on me, you know I hate this stuff!" he said when she hugged him really hard. "Gee thanks for not getting mushy!" he said with a disgusted look on his face, but we all know he liked it… even Rory.
End of F1Rory looked at the wall to her right and in between all her Harvard stuff hung the blue heart. Rory smiled as a tear ran down her face, a happy tear yet just as much a sad tear. She missed him and his sarcastic remarks, but he had to move away with his mom and her boyfriend. With that last thought Rory couldn't help but think of another memory… usually these memories wouldn't bug her but this one, unfortunately, was a sad one, the day he was leaving…
F2:
"Rory" said a more mature 8-year-old Jess
"Hey" Rory said coolly
"Hi" he said glumly
"What's wrong?"
"I'm never going to see you again"
"W-what? Why?" Rory said now on the verge of tears
"I'm moving to New York, my mom's boyfriend got a job there and we have to move" he said still glum
" But what happens if they broke up before you left?" Rory said now getting an idea. "When do you leave?" she asked
" I-in 3 hours" he said wanting to cry, but he wouldn't let himself in front of Rory, she would start crying also and he didn't want to see her cry.
"How come you never told me before?" she asked
"I guess my mom figured we would do something to ruin her plans, so she just told me now, you're the first person I told." He sniffed after he finished talking
"So this is goodbye?" she asked tears rolling down her face
"This is goodbye, but don't worry I'll call you a lot and maybe I can visit, I guess if we have the money… ok maybe I cant visit but I will try to call ok?"
"My best friend ever is leaving! I can't believe this! I wont believe this!" she yelled. Then she calmed down and got a hold of herself. She wrapped her arms around Jess' neck and hugged him, no, squeezed him. "I'm going to miss you so much"
" I'm going to miss you to Ror" he hugged her back.
When she finally let go of Jess she saw that he was looking at the floor, maybe to hide his tears…maybe.
"Look I still have to pack my stuff, maybe you can help, I mean it would mean more time together… right" he half asked half pointed out.
" I really want to, but I may be crying the whole time, it'll be better for you to do it alone and for me to sit here and digest all this" she said still crying
"Ok, well goodbye Rory"
He walked away when she didn't answer, when he was out of sight she sighed. How come all this had to happen, she thought she was good and behaved. And she knew that she always did do well in school and she was polite and nice to everyone. What did she do to deserve this? It was all unfair. When she finally came to her senses she managed to say 2 words:
"Goodbye Jess". Finally she managed to get up but when she was just about to leave the bridge she knew she was never going to be able to come here again as much as before so she sat down and stared at the water, for maybe the last time.
End of F2By the end of this painful memory she was crying. She kept on crying until she cried herself to sleep.
The next morning Rory woke up at 1pm and thanked God it was a Saturday. She got up and took a shower, brushed her teeth and got dressed. Then she went downstairs into the kitchen and grabbed a pop tart and sat at the table only to find a note from her mother, it read:
Hey Hon, or should I say good morning? I'm at the inn, I went early…really early because some crazy man did not like his breakfast and Sookie refused to give him another dish so he started a food fight hence forth me getting up early and dragging my tired but to the inn. I hope to be home soon, but there is like a 10 chance that will happen. Anyway I'm boring you with my news, but don't forget Dean is coming to pick you up for lunch at 2:30 (he called this morning) and to pick up the movie he lent us so be ready. I love you and I'll hopefully see you soon.
-Mom
Rory just at that moment jumped, she had a date with Dean to go to and her hair was still wet! She checked her watch; great she has 12 minutes remaining to get ready. Luckily she finished just in time cause at 2:30 sharp he was at the door. She opened the door to find him dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a red shirt.
" Good afternoon Rory" said a smiling Dean
" Good after noon Dean" Rory greeted
" Ready to go?" he asked
" Yeah, just one minute let me get your movie"
" Ok" he said coolly
She went into the living room and got his movie, 'Master of Disguise', off of the television and handed it to him. Before she could take her hand back he grabbed her and kissed her. Just when she was about to reply he broke the kiss and took her hand and then closed the door and they left.
They went to a pizza store and each had a piece of pizza and pop for Dean and coffee for Rory. When they finished there they went and sat on a bench. Weird how they ended up right in front of the bus that had come front New York. Then many people came running out. Funny how Dean was babbling about his hockey team, or how girls wouldn't stop checking him out at school, you would think Rory would be listening, but something told her that that bus held someone very special.
" Rory, I'm here trying to talk to you about some really important stuff, but all you are paying attention to is that damn bus." Said Dean irritated.
"Huh? What? Sorry I wasn't paying attention" Rory asked careless as to what he had to say, and not taking her eyes off the bus
" Never mind" he said not caring anymore if she was paying attention or not
" Ok" she said her eyes still glued on the bus
Exactly 5 minutes later the last person came out of the bus. Rory jumped out of her seat and headed for the person, forgetting about Dean and whatever he had said before. She finally made it to the handsome 17-year-old dark crazy haired boy and she hugged him with all her might. And the said the one name she had not mentioned in at least 9 years " Jess".
Well that's it… lol… I know cliffhangers no one likes them, but I think I wrote enough for one chapter. Tell me what you think while pressing that very special purplish button. the more reviews I get the faster I update so go go go!
