Prologue
Rory and Jess had dated for a year and a half, until after their graduation. After that, Rory went Yale and Jess went to a community college in New York that's when they stopped talking to each other. It was just too painful to know that they loved each other, but couldn't be together because the timing just wasn't right. Rory took almost three years to get another boyfriend. He wasn't exactly 'a Jess', but she liked him. And at the time it seemed to be enough. They dated for half a year. After that she went on other dates, but none of them get to the point of a serious relationship. They were just a waste of time and a distraction, an attempt to keep her mind away from the bad boy who had won her dreams.
Now she was graduating from college with a major in journalism and going back to Stars Hollow to spend a month, before had to go to New York to look for a job. She told Lorelai and Luke, that were now officially dating, that she would spend a month with them to send her resume to the papers in New York, and then she would go to New York to see the results, and what job she could get.
Now it's Friday and in a few hours she'd be going home. She's at her dormitory packing all her stuff. She'd already packed her clothes and college things, now she's packing her books. When she took her copy of 'Oliver Twist' from her shelve she accidentally dropped it on the floor. When she picked it up a picture dropped from the book. She sat on the floor taking the picture on her hands. It's a picture of her and Jess they were hugging. It's a picture from the time that they used to date, Jess had given it to her just after they had taken the picture. He'd written something on the back of the picture and put the picture in the book. He'd told her to take that picture and read what was written in the back some years later, when she thought it was appropriate, not before. She holds the picture remembering how it had felt when the picture had been taken, how amazing she had felt in Jess' arms. She closed her eyes and sighed.
It had been a long time since she had thought about him. And she'd almost forgot how badly she missed him, almost. She had been away from home, from the people her and Jess had known, from the spots they had had shared and that had helped a lot. But now she was going back. Going back home. Going to Lorelai, Luke, Lane, Dave, Kirk, Sookie, Jackson, Miss Patty, and Babette, which in some way or another reminded her of him. She was going back to the porch of her house, to Luke's, to the bridge. Oh, God, to the bridge! In that moment she almost decided to unpack everything and say that she had to stay. That she'd never comeback home, that was just too painful. But she couldn't or she'd never move on. Since they 'broke up' she'd just hidden herself, she'd never moved on from the love of her life. Oh God, what she just said? The 'love of her life'? How could she say that? She hadn't even talked to him in five years, and she'd dated other boys, and he'd sure as hell dated other girls too. But, still, she couldn't help but think this kind of things when she thought about him. To tell the truth, just this once, maybe he is the true love of her life.
