Jeans and a Metallica T-shirt
Disclaimer I don't own Gilmore Girls.
She did everything that was expected to be done. She made the arrangements, ordered the flowers, picked the songs, and found his clothes. Not respectable, not a three piece suit, his clothes, jeans and a Metallica t-shirt. Just before she dropped off the clothes at the funeral parlor, she smelled them, it comforted her, because they smelled like him, like cigarette smoke and the faint scent of laundry detergent.
She knew he would have loved to be here, to watch everyone's face as they walked by the casket, seeing him in jeans and a Metallica t-shirt, but then again everyone knew Jess, they knew it was him.
Rory hadn't broken down completely yet, she cried a few tears when she found out, but other then that nothing. She had busied herself with making arrangements for her boyfriend's funeral. She told Luke to let her do it, because keeping busy kept her mind off the fact that he wasn't there.
But the day of the funeral had finally come. People had gathered to pay their respects to Jess Mariano. Jess's family, Liz and T.J., Jimmy, Sasha, Lily and Luke. Some of his friends from New York. And Stars Hollow, no matter how much they hated him for hurting the town princess, they came because lets face it their lives were going to be dull without him around. And of course Lorelai and Rory.
The minister droned on and on. Rory stood up and said a few words.
" You know Jess is probably looking down at us right now, or up depending on what you think of him, laughing at us. It feels so weird without him here. I'm waiting for Taylor to start yelling about some prank he pulled. I'm waiting for Luke to tell him to get back to work or to turn down his music. Waiting for Clara to comment on his 'crazy hair', even though I don't think its crazy. Waiting for Jess to come back so that we can debate Ayn Rand and Hemmingway. I still owe him an egg roll."
And with that she broke. The tears came, and she couldn't get them to stop. That wasn't really what she wanted to say, she wanted to say what a great person he was and how much she loved him. But I guess she did.
