This story takes place just at the end of a Nag Hammadi is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels….
"I love you" he said, and turned quickly jumping into his car.
It only took a moment for this to register in Rory's brain. She couldn't believe what he has said to her. Was he serious, after all he put her through he can't just tell her he loves her and run away. She ran over to his car and stood in front of it putting her hands on the hood and staring at him. "Get out of the car Jess!"
But he didn't move, he just sat there staring down. "Get out of the car Jess!" she shouted again. She opened the door to the car.
"You can't just tell me something like that and run away, it's not fair. Everything about this is not fair. You can't just come back here, ignore me for two days and then follow me around the festival and blurt out that you love me and run, it's not fair!"
Finally Jess looked up at her, she could see he was upset. "I'm sorry." He stood up, closed the door and leaned against it staring at the ground. "I just don't know what else to say, I know I hurt you, and I shouldn't have come back, but I just had to tell you." He finally stopped and took a breath, daring for one second to look at her. He had to look down right after that, she looked so beautiful, and so hurt, and he hated the fact that he had been the one that hurt her.
"Jess…" she started, twisting her hands with nerves, " I….I ….think I might love you. But I just need time; I need to know that you'll be here for me. I need to know that you won't just leave again. I can't go through that again. Promise me you'll stay, promise me you'll try."
He stared at the ground, not knowing what to say, not knowing how to answer her. Then he looked up, moving in front of her he looked right in her eyes. She was barely breathing, she was scared of what he might say. Finally he spoke, "I promise." He said, in barely a whisper.
She smiled, and put her arms around him. Hugging him close, all she could do was smile this was going to work she thought.
A/N: I know it's short, but it's just a start, a preface if you will. It's my first try, and I hope to get the next chapter soon. Please R&R and be kind, though constructive criticism is helpful!
Thanks to ALP for inspiring me to start this!
