If you don't remember season 6 much, take out your box set (that I know you own ;) and re-watch. Because I'm taking you back with some twist turns and new ideas. Thanks for your support by the way.

Story: Set after Rory and Jess kiss at his publishing house. What if she picked him over Logan? What would she do when she hears Logan is in the hospital? Also how would Luke and Lorelai's relationship have been if Jess would've knocked some sense into Luke? Alternate ending to season 6.

Chapter 1: Stay the Night

As they sat staring at each other at Truncheon, he moves in a kisses her. It felt like old times, he knew they never could figure out much but they could always kiss. They separate and before he can say how he feels. She goes in and deepens the kiss. She knew it wasn't fair to Logan but what Logan did to her was much worse. She didn't know if she loved Logan, she didn't even know if she loved Jess. But kissing him took the pain away. Kissing him made everything so much better. They separate and she pushes her hair behind her ear. He says "Would you like to stay…and sleep" "Yeah" She responds before psyching herself out. They walk upstairs there is two beds in the living and there is one room. "You came in a good time; it's my month to have the one room." He leads her to the room. You'd expect a mess but it was actually tidy. He goes to the drawer and hands her pj bottoms and a Metallica t shirt. He even left the room so she could change. As much as he wanted to be the one taking off her clothes. He felt it wasn't the right time for it. He heard her say that she changed. And he lay down next to her, as she turned around. He wrapped his arm around, his hand right below her breast.

Rory had gotten up and began to get dressed. Jess opened his eyes and saw her pulling down her shirt. He asked "Where are you going?"

"I have to go back to Yale and take care of somethings"

Rory couldn't tell him, that she needed to go back to pack her things out of Logan's apartment. She had already planned it out in her head. She was going to take her things back to Paris and leave a letter at Logan's. When he got home from his death wish, he would find it and they would be done. She knew it may have been impersonal. But Logan's whole relationship seemed impersonal.

Jess says "Ok"

She wanted to say she'll call but then he said "I'll call you"

"Ok"

She walked out of his apartment. Hoping he would call, hoping that this time him and her we're ready for something real.

-break-

Rory had just finished packing the remainder of her stuff to her car. She looked over the apartment, it let her know it was time to let go. At one point she was in love with Logan, the same way at one point she was in love with Dean. But when she pictured her future, Logan didn't seem to fit. They had come from different worlds, that seemed could never be mixed together. She knew she was taking a chance with Jess. What if he left again? How would she handle it this time? Is she ready to emotionally invest on someone again?

-break-

She was coming out of class when she received a call, she looks over the screen to her surprise "Jess."

"Hey" she tries to answer cool. Trying to not sound overly excited.

"Hey, what you up to?"

"Um… nothing just got of class and you?"

"Nothing, hey do they sell any decent coffee around campus?"

"Well I usually try to get it from the coffee cart"

"Huh the coffee cart, isn't called Gourmet Food. Or something?"

Rory smiles, "Something like that"

"Kind of gold with red"

She turns a corner heading towards the coffee cart and she sees Jess.

Out of breath "What are you doing here?"

"I heard they serve some pretty decent coffee"

"I mean at Yale, Jess"

"Well I did say I'd call"

She nods

"Which I did, but I thought a coffee would be better. What would you like?"

"A mocha Frappuccino"

As Jess orders their coffee, she can't help but continue to smile. He is here at Yale. He is here at Yale buying her coffee. He surprised her.

Then he says "How 'bout some lunch?"

"I'd love to, but I still have my literature class"

"Ok"

"But why don't you join me. I know you'll love it."

"I don't think…"

"Come on"

"People pay a lot of money for these classes"

"You're my guest"

"Ok"

-break-

Class was spent discussing the latest novel, the class was suppouse to read. The only two people discussing were Rory and Jess. Before leaving the professor told Jess, that he'd love to see him in his class next semester.

"I can't believe you had read the book before, I mean I should believe it but still"

"Yeah"

"I mean half those people most likely spark notes or cliff notes it."

"Well at least you had someone to argue with" He smirked

She wanted to tell him how much she missed discussing books with him. That this had to be one of the best lit classes. Before she could say what she was thinking. He says "So lunch time?"

"Let's just check on the paper and I promise lunch"

"To Rory Gilmore's headquarters"

"No to the Dailey News headquarters" she corrects, trying not to blush.

"No the other one has a better ring to it"

She smiles after reviewing some articles, making sure they all were print ready. She grabs her coat, Jess had been sitting next to her proof reading some of the articles for her. She smiled, watching him help her. Bill comes over "Hey, boss, you're gonna want to see this"

"Not now Bill, I'm leaving in a bit"

"You're really gonna want to see this"

"Just leave it, Bill."

"But I want to see the look on your face when you read it, provided you still have a face after your head explodes."

Jess looked up at Bill intrigued on what he was so interested in showing Rory. "You should see it"

Rory rolls her eyes annoyed at Bill.

"What is so important about the Wall Street Journal?"

"Oh, you'll see" Bill says with a devious smile.

She grabs the paper and reads. It was about Mitchum and how she was part of his successes. How could he take credit for her?

Bill said "Oh, it's going to be a quiet, slow-burning seethe. Disappointment." And proceeded with leaving.

Jess breaks Rory's thoughts "What's it say?"

Rory looks up she looks angry mixed with tears in her eyes. This couldn't have came in the worst time, in front of Jess. Before she could respond, he says "I think its lunch time"

-break-

During lunch Rory explained everything that happened with Mitchum. How he was one of the reasons she left Yale, unsure if she chose the correct career. She read over and over again the sentence in the article. Jess sat there listening to her ranting. Agreeing that it wasn't okay that Mitchum said this. That he shouldn't take credit of her becoming Yale editor, that she did that and that no one could take it away from her. It was a great lunch. Rory felt if this would've happen with Logan, he might've sided with his dad. Like what he did might actually help Rory out in the long run. She thinks of the night they stole a boat, if she would've told Jess something like that. As much trouble as he would cause in town, she doesn't think he would've let her do that. She tries to stop thinking and start listening to at least the ending of Jess story about Matt and his latest wannabe model girlfriend. She needed to stop comparing Logan and Jess. They had reached her apartment. She said "I'd invite you up but I live with Paris and Doyle. It isn't a pretty sight"

"Paris, was enough of a reason" he jokes

She bits her lip, she didn't want this to be the last time she saw him. She hated this long distance between them. "Do you wanna go to Lanes wedding with me this weekend?"

"Yeah. Ok."

"But…um…can we tell my mom were friends"

"Yeah we wouldn't want her to go all Carrie on us"

"No it wouldn't be pretty" she smiles

He leans in, wrapping his arms around her waist laying a kiss on her lips. This felt so good. She was excited to have someone to go with to Lane's wedding. She didn't know how anyone would react with him being back in town. But as he kisses her it didn't matter what anyone else thought.

COMING UP

"Well its not hard, it just has been easy"

He nods
