Author's Small Note: This idea came to me after hearing a ton of different songs. So, many different songs will show up, yet it is technically not a song fiction.

Disclaimer: Rory and people aren't mine. People not appearing the show are.

AN2: Mony19: Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Smile1: I thought it was cute too. 

Lora: Yes, he died. You'll find out how soon enough. Remember, this story will take place mainly in the past.

Now, on with the story!


A few days had passed since Rory had been to his grave, Lorelei and Luke had volunteered to watch her son for the day. Life had been hard for her over this last year, and she really just needed to be alone. She needed to reflect on how she got to the place in her life that she did. Plus, she needed to move on with her life and stop dwelling in the past, except, the only way to escape seemed to be to relive it once more.

In her travels she seemed to have wondered over to the bridge, their bridge. Everything always seemed to happen on that bridge. He had come back to her while she was on the bridge. She sat down and began to remember, starting at the beginning.


It was the day after Lorelei and Luke's wedding when he first spoke to her. They didn't talk at all at the wedding; Rory had managed to get away when ever he came near.

She wasn't really surprised to see him; he was there for Luke as it was his wedding day. She was just shocked, shocked to see him again, shocked at how fast her heart was beating, and shocked at the fact that she couldn't stop looking at him, yet ran away when he came near.

He defiantly wasn't surprised. He knew what he was going to feel when he saw her. He knew what feelings would arise. He just had to keep them at bay for awhile, until he was able to tell her.

Rory was happily sitting on the edge of the bridge reading a book dangling her feet over the water below when he came up.

"Rory…" he started, afraid to say too much, afraid she'd run again.

"Jess!" she cried, obviously startled. She got up quickly, panning to dart again. She wanted to get away from his stunning brown eyes, but he grabbed her arm as she tried.

"Jess, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

"Rory…" He looked her straight in the eyes, holding her gaze as he spoke. "I'm moving back," Jess managed t get out all too quickly. He sighed deeply, unable to say what else was on his mind. This is not the time; she doesn't need to know yet. No, not yet. He thought to himself.

"You…can't…," she still struggled to get fee, but kept his gaze.

"Luke's moving in with Lorelei, so his apartment is free. He told me I could use it."

"But why…"

He then realized he was still holding her arm and let it drop, also looking away from her eyes. He wouldn't tell her, not yet.

"I just wanted too…"

Rory's heart raced faster and faster as she stepped closer to Jess. As their bodies touched ever so slightly she felt her soul bursting with forgotten passion and love for this poor guy. Without thinking, she reached up and took his face with her hands and kissed him.

It took him a few seconds to figure out what was happening, but when he did he kissed her back with just as much love. However, she soon "came to her senses" and broke away from him running away. As she ran she screamed back to him, "Welcome home!" and then she was gone.

Jess was left alone on the bridge to ponder at what just happened to him. Licking his lips, he could still taste her on him and didn't want to ever loose that. He smiled and walked away to go find someplace else to sit and read the book he had brought with him. Oh, and also to think of some plan to tell her.
