Here I was back at Stars Hollow. The town still hasn't eased up on me. They still saw me as the bad boy I was when I was younger. Everywhere I went I received glares. It didn't bother me what they thought of me. The only reason I was here was for my uncle Luke. For him I would endure their judgy stares. I walked into the diner and went up stairs to escape them. "Hey Jess." April said as I walked into the Luke's place upstairs. She had come down for the same reason as me.

"Hey April." I said and ruffed up her hair as I walked past her to the fridge. I grabbed a water and smirked as she scowled and fixed her hair.

"I hate when you do that." She pouted.

I smirked at her. "That's why I do it." I said simply.

"Whatever. So are you ready for the wedding?" She asked. That was the big reason I had showed up. Luke Danes was finally settling down and getting married to Lorelai Gilmore, finally! Luke had came down and visited me in Philly to ask if I would be his best man.

"As ready as I'll ever be." This meant I was not ready at all. I wasn't ready due to one thing, or to be more specific one person. Rory was going to be there of course to support her mother and Luke. So far that I know of she hasn't made it to Stars Hollow yet.

"I can't wait for the wedding. Lorelai looks so pretty in her wedding dress and I got a really pretty dress too." April started to gush. She was super excited for this wedding. She really liked Lorelai. I could understand why. Now that I wasn't so angry at the world Lorelai and I got along better. I apologized to her when Luke had me come down so he could tell me about the wedding. After we talked for a little bit we slowly moved on the path to being friends or at least good acquaintances. The last time we all had lunch she actually even tried to bring up Rory but I changed the subject quickly. She tried to keep going but thankfully Luke was actually paying attention and distracted her. I wasn't ready to discuss Rory with her. Hell I wasn't ready to talk to anyone about Rory. Apparently during my whole inner monologue April had still been talking because now she was snapping her fingers in my face to get my attention. "Hello Jess, earth to Jess you in there?" She demanded.

"What yeah sorry I was thinking about something." I said slowly getting out of my daze.

"Don't you mean someone." April asked mischievously.

My mouth dropped open. "What I don't know what you mean." I said feigning innocence, or at least attempting to.

April laughed. "Yeah right. You know exactly who I'm talking about. Her name starts with a R and end with a Y." She said with a huge mischievous smile that could Lorelai a run for her money.

"Oh you mean Remy. Yeah we have a lot of catching up to do." I smirked.

She groaned in frustration. "Rory! That's who I mean!"

I laughed. "Whoa April I don't think people in China heard you yet, might need to shout louder."

"Jess stop avoiding the question." April said slamming her foot down.

"Alright, alright jeez. Well yeah I was thinking of Rory. I haven't seen her in awhile." I shrugged. I didn't let on that we had been talking.

"Well…." April said thoughtfully.

"Well what?" I asked feigning cluelessness.

"Well aren't you excited?" She shrieked.

"I'll be excited to get my hearing back after that shriek." I joked. I walked by her and ruffed up her again.

"Hi mom I'm home." I yelled as I walked in the front door with my bag.

A ball of hair hit me right in the face and tackled me in a huge hug. "Rory you're here." Mom said cheerfully. I laughed and hugged her back.

"Of course I'm here. I wouldn't miss my mother's wedding." We broke away finally, both of us with huge smiles on our faces.

Her face fell into a look of a shock. "I'm getting married. How can I get married? I was married before, it didn't work. What if I mess up things up again?" My mom said starting to freak out.

I grabbed her arms and led her to the couch. "Whoa relax. First of all it will work. It's you and Luke. And second of all you and Luke love each other. You belong together so this will work."

She smiled as soon as I said Luke. "You're right. What would I do without you amazing daughter." She hugged me.

"You probably wouldn't survive." I joked.

She gasped. "How little faith you have in me." We both started to laugh. "So sweets how are you? Wonderful since you're with mommy right."

"Yup all my problems and worries have gone away just by coming back to you." I said with a mock serious face.

"I know it's because I'm amazing." Mom smirked.

"At least that's what you think." I laughed.

"How dare you. Be nicer to your mommy." She said wagging her finger in front of me.

"Just kidding, love you." I said to ease her mind.

"So seriously how are you?"

"I'm good actually. Work is actually really good. I've been getting a lot of assignments to write." I said with a big smile.

"Good, good. I'm happy for you." She smiled hugely. "So any new guys on the front?" She said trying to be really casual.

"Hmm very casual prying mom. Well since you asked no there aren't any new guys on the front. I haven't even considered anyone since the whole break up with Logan." Talking about Logan didn't make me sad anymore. We talked when the campaign went to California and that really helped me realize that I hadn't made a mistake. Apparently as soon I rejected he went off and slept with a bunch of girls again. I only found out because I had bumped into him with some girl glued to his side giggling. After he pried her off of him he asked if we could talk. I decided I would since I did reject his proposal and that must have really upset him and it was only natural for him to move on.

"How are you?" I said trying to break the very awkward silence. We are in a coffee shop just sitting at a table overlooking the bustle of the busy city.

"I'm doing alright." He said stiffly.

"I know we haven't talked since my graduation but I just want to tell you I am truly sorry." I told him sincerely.

"Yeah sure." He snorted.

"Logan I didn't want to hurt you; I care about you."

"But not enough." He said immediately after glaring at me.

"It's not that I don't care about you. It's just that I'm not ready for marriage. I told you I liked having everything open and that led me to the opportunity I have now." I said trying to explain to him my reasoning.

"You know what? It's not like I need you anyways. There are plenty of girls who are more than willing to be with me. Trust me they have been showing me how much they're happy to be with me since we broke up." Logan smirked.

I let it sink in for a minute. So he had already been sleeping around, apparently since we broke up. I looked him and truly saw him for the first time. He was still the blonde dick from Yale. I can't believe that I couldn't tell that he had never changed. I was just so blinded by how much he seemed to care about me. But now I know if he truly cared for me he wouldn't have been treating me this way no matter how hurt he is. "You know what Logan? I love the Logan who is sweet, kind, and who really cared about me. I can see that you aren't that man. Goodbye Logan." And with that I walked out of the coffee shop and saw him for the last time.

"Well I guess I should tell you now then." Mom drew out her sentence.

"Tell me what mom." I asked her. It didn't sound good.

"Jess is coming back for the wedding." She said looking at me to try and analyze my expression.

I kept it neutral for her sake but all I wanted to do was smile widely. Just hearing his name made my heart beat faster. But I couldn't let her know; she didn't even know I was still talking to him.

"I figured as much. He is Luke's nephew after all." I smirked at her.

"Well yeah but are you alright with that?" She asked.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked her.

"Well with your history I don't know where you guys stand." Mom said.

"Mom we've both grown up since back then. Of course I'm alright with it." I said simply. "Now let's talk more about your wedding." I said changing the subject. She didn't answer right away but just kept looking at me. Finally she started going on about every single detail that we had already talked about while I thought about Jess.
