The Late Call
One Shot
This is right after the season 4 episode "Last Weeks Fights, This Weeks Tights". Jess has asked Rory to go with him and leave everything. I don't own the characters!
Rory sat in her apartment thinking of what she'd just done. She didn't know if she did the right thing because she didn't what the right thing was. She kept going over in head. What Jess had said and offered to her. The chance of a lifetime. Freedom from Yale, Starshollow, Emily, Lorelai. A new life with the boy she loved or at least once loved, she didn't know if those feelings where still there.
It was getting dark and she started to cry. She wanted it all to be okay everything to be simple. She wanted Dean to not be married and Jess to just stay in one place at a time. She knew she couldn't change it. She wanted to, but she knew she couldn't.
She got up and straightened her clothes out and tried to fix her hair. It was no use the tears had made her hair stick to the side of her face. She taped the box that held all her books. Suddenly her cell phone rang and she jumped a little. She answered it.
"Hello?" She said trying to hold back the tears.
"Rory…its me Jess."
Rory froze. She didn't know how to react to this phone call. "Uhmm hey. Uhh how did you get my number?" She fiddled with her tear soaked hair.
"I found it on Lukes pad of numbers. I hope its okay I called you. Look don't say anything. I mean what I said about you coming with me going away someplace getting away. I meant every word. I really do love you Rory. You mean everything to me. I've never met anyone like you and I know this phone call is too early for this since everything that just happened was real sudden and out of the blue, but it was all held up inside of me and I had to get it out. I didn't mean to hurt you when I left so suddenly a couple months back but it just happened I don't know what came over me. I feel horrible about it now. I guess I wanted to make up for everything that I've done to you. I'm sorry Rory." He started to choke up. Rory just held the phone and tears streamed down her cheek.
"I know Jess…I know your sorry. I'm sorry too for just saying no to you. I want you to understand that I do love you I really do I didn't realize it until now I guess. I mean I've always loved you I was just afraid to say it I guess I didn't want to get hurt again. Everything is so hard and just leaving would be so simple. I wanted to say yes but I couldn't I need to be here at Yale with my mom. She needs me. You need me. Hell I need myself!" Rory broke down this time.
There was silence for a while. No one knew what to say to each other. They both loved each other. So much that it could kill them. Their lifestyles where so different though. Rory needed to be in one place for a long time and Jess needed to be in several places in a short time.
Rory went on after about 5 minutes. "Look Jess. I gotta go but feel free to call anytime I'll answer. I always have my phone on. Don't be a stranger. And maybe one day we can finally be together. Everything in between us will just dissolve and it'll be just us. Only us. I do love you Jess, know that."
"I love you too Rory and I'll call soon. I promise. And I'm sorry about tonight. I guess I was just trying to be spontaneous." He laughs. She smiles. A tear streams down both of their cheeks. And the felt each others pain. They both had different dreams and at the same time the same dream.
"Don't apologize, if were meant to be together we'll be together and I have very high hopes of that." She smiles. "Bye Jess." At this she hangs up.
She stood up and started to pack up her things.
A/N: I hop you liked it. It was my first time on a One Shot story. Reviews are appreciated. I know it was short! I'm sorry! But I love Rory and Jess and I feel like there was so much more not said and should've been brought to the table.
