Summary- Jess finally has his life together, while Rory's is falling apart. Will he be able to help her in time? LIT, duh!

Everything you need to know- Rory and Jess are both 25. Jess is living in the city again, but he finally has his life together. He's working in a bookstore, but he didn't write his book. He is single, and he still stays in contact with Luke. Rory has been married for 4 months, to none other than Dean (I hate him too; don't worry, he's the bad guy). She never dropped out of Yale, and she lives in the suburbs. She's the editor for her local newspaper. Things start to go wrong.

Flipped

Rory got off the subway on her day off and stepped into the New York City air. She was wearing long jeans and an oversized sweatshirt, even though it was the middle of the summer. Nobody looked twice at her, though. People in New York City were weird. You got used to it after a while.

Rory had so many memories in this place, even if she had never lived here, and never intended to. She clearly remembered the day she cut school and came to visit Jess. She remembered thinking how they were going to expell her from Chilton, because she missed one day of school.

She didn't know where to go, so she just walked. A few streets later she saw a nice looking book store and decided to go in. She walked in, and the little bell on the door rang. The person at the register looked up, but Rory didn't notice. She was too fascinated with all the books in this place. The store itself wasn't all that big, but there was so many books crammed into it. No walls were showing; they were all covered with bookshelves, which were covered with books. Besides all that, there were bookcases all over the floor, making it a little hard to walk around, but not so much that it would make you want to leave.

"Rory?"

She turned around, a little scared. How did this person know her name? Then she noticed something. Those brown eyes? Yeah, she had seen them before. And that smirk; that amused face? That definately wasn't new to her. In fact, it wasn't just 'not new'...it was familiar.

"Jess!" Rory hadn't seen Jess for years, not since her graduation from Yale. He had come, but she had turned him away. He had just shown up. Like he always did. And then she turned him away, and he left. Like he always did. But here he was, staring at Rory, and there she was, staring back at him. Again, he showed up, not expected, but this time, unlike last, not unwanted.

Rory was married now. She didn't know if Jess knew that. He should have, considering she sent him a wedding invitation, against Dean's wishes. He never replied, and Rory wondered if he even got it. Then again, not relplying seemed like something that Jess would do.

Even though Rory hadn't seen Jess for three years, she immediatly recognised him. He was unforgettable. Everything about him. From his smirk to his little quips. Even if Rory was married, there would always be that place in her heart for Jess, her first love. She didn't want to admit it, but that first time around with Dean, she didn't really love him. Maybe she didn't this time either. She was still trying to figure everything out, but in the meantime, why shouldn't she spend some time with her first, maybe only love? Dean wouldn't like it, but Dean wasn't here. So what the hell?

And that was how Rory found herself, fifteen minutes later, at a nearby coffee shop, catching up with Jess.
