Chapter 1: He was a boy

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Jess Mariano walked out of the New York Times building into the busy streets of New York. It was somewhere around June, Jess was to busy to really care, and his suit didn't help with the hot weather they had been having lately. He called a taxi and ordered it to go to his favorite diner Serendipity. Paying the taxi driver Jess quickly walked into the air- conditioned diner and went to sit on his normal barstool at the counter.

John, the storeowner saw him walk in and went behind the counter to serve his favorite customer. "What can I get you?" he asked even if it wasn't necessary. Jess had been coming to the diner since the day he had started college and for the past week had only ordered an iced coffee.

"Hot fudge Sundae John" he replied with a smirk taking off his suit jacket and laying it on the counter. John smiled and set down a cup of iced coffee on the counter.

"Where's Melissa?" He asked noting that Jess was without his usually inseparable best friend.

Jess shrugged and took a drink of the coffee. Wiping his mouth he replied, "Had to work on an article, so she said to leave without her. She's been working really hard lately planning a trip to Florida I think."

John raised his eyebrows in surprise when he said this. "Are you going too?"

"No, she's probably taking Pablo." A look of disgust crossed Jess's face but quickly fell to a more tired one. The diner owner leaned his elbows on the counter to come face to face with the man sitting in front of him. "What's up?" he asked curious.

Jess sighed and took a long gulp of coffee. Pulling something out of his pocket he sat an envelope down on the counter and motioned John to open it.

Giving Jess a curious glance he opened the envelope and pulled out a letter. Some one had written a short letter in a messy handwriting. John cleared his throat and started to read the letter out loud.

"Dear Jess, I know we haven't really talked in awhile. I am really sorry for missing your graduation, but the twins first birthday was around the same time and well, you know Lorelei, she had to throw a big party and everything. Anyways, Rory is graduating in a week and I just thought I should let you know, just in case you wanted to stop by. Visit or something like that if you wanted to. Give me a call, Luke."

He finished the letter and put it back in the envelope. He thought for a moment before he said, "Rory. Isn't that the girl you used to talk about? The one who you said broke your heart and made you come back here?" Jess winced when he heard the words "broke your heart" and nodded.

"So.. You gonna go?" Jess took one last sip of his coffee and stood up to go home. Grabbing his jacket he looked back at John, "What do you think" he said more of an answer than a question. The diner owner nodded in understanding and they both turned around, one to tend to customers, the other to go home more confused then when he had arrived.
