Sookie held the door open as Rory and Jess left the hall. "Thank you so much for coming guys! I just need to confirm one last time that the food was okay."

Rory smiled, "Sookie I swear all the food was amazing."

"Good! Alright well, drive safe!" Sookie went back inside to talk with her remaining guest.

Jess rolled his eyes, "You're a cold blooded liar Rory Gilmore."

"What are you talking about?"

"You didn't even eat any of the food!"

"Jess, you told me it was good. My mom and Luke also said it was good therefore I told Sookie it was good."

Jess unlocked his car door, "Just because we thought it was good doesn't mean you wouldn't of thought it sucked."

Rory stepped inside the car and buckled up, "You can't win this argument and you know it! Just give up now would ya?"

He laughed, "You only said that because you know I'm right!"

Rory snorted, "Just keep telling your self that." There was a comfortable silence as they drove the rest of the way home. They talked every once in a while but Rory remained quiet most of the time. She needed the time to think, mostly about the mysterious letter. She fought with herself the whole ride. Should she bring it up? Should she keep quiet? Rory's head hurt from all of her thinking. The car pulled up to her house and they both stepped out.

Jess looked a little confused as he stood by his door. He didn't know what to do. Did he walk her to the door or would that be too weird? Rory was a little confused herself. She gave him a smile and turned around to walk inside. She stopped half way there and turned back around. "Jess?"

"What?"

"Thanks, for today. It was fun."

Jess nodded, "No problem. I guess I will see you later Rory."

"Bye Jess." Rory walked all the way to the door this time. She went into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge before heading to her room. Rory walked over to her bed and the water slipped out of her hands. Rory cursed herself under her breath as it rolled under the bed. Getting on her hands and knees, Rory bent down and grabbed the water and also found one of her old books.

Rory blew off the dust to see that the book she had found was Howl. She flipped through the pages and saw the notes in the margins. Rory then remembered it was Jess who had "borrowed" the book and wrote notes in it years ago. She sat on the bed and sighed. Back then it was all so simple. Jess was just the bad boy that Rory had crushed on. She had no clue what she was in for back in those days, no clue that he would change everything. Rory felt a tear roll down her cheek. She wiped it away slightly confused. Rory hadn't even known she was crying.

She slipped under the covers of her cozy bed. As Rory laid her head against her pillow, memories came flooding back to her. Jess had completed her life and then yanked it all out from under her. He left without as much as goodbye. Of course it didn't stop there. He came back to tell her he loved her and left without another word. Rory wanted nothing more then to just go back. Back to when it was just a little crush. Back to when everything was happy and clear.

The tears were falling uncontrollably now. She didn't even know exactly why she was crying. What is because she wanted to go back to the way it was? Was she crying because Jess was back again? Rory covered her face with her hands. No matter how hard she tried to stop the tears, they just kept coming. She had no idea why the tears had started and had no idea why she couldn't stop them.

-Next Morning, Gilmore House-

Rory awoke suddenly to a loud boom of thunder. She heard the rain pounding on the roof of the house. Rory looked over at the clock; it was nearly seven in the morning. She had slept for over 12 hours! Rory's cheeks felt raw and dry and it took her a minute to realize that she had cried herself to sleep.

Rory jumped in the shower and changed into a fresh new pair of clothes. As she was making herself coffee, there was a knock on the front door. Rory opened it to find Jess standing before her.

"Jess!" Rory smiled stepping outside and closing the front door behind her. "What are you doing here?"

"Well Tessa and I have to go home in a little bit. Were leaving within the next hour so, I thought I would come over to say goodbye."

"Did she get a chance to write her article?"

"No, she was too sick. I'm pretty sure she's not too happy about that one. Tessa really was excited about the article."

"I bet" Rory looked out at the pouring rain and suddenly wanted to just stand in the middle of it all. It was as if maybe it could wash away all of her problems. "Hey, let's get off the porch." Rory walked off it into the rain.

Jess looked bewildered, "You are aware that's in raining right?"

"I don't mind." Rory held her hands out to feel the warm drops on her skin. Jess shrugged and walked up next to her.

"Okay well, I should get going. Tessa's waiting for me at Luke's. Thanks for this weekend though. I didn't know it was possible to enjoy myself in this dump but, it was okay actually."

This was Rory's chance. There was no way she could just drop it and not say anything. She had to confront him about it. It was now or never. "Hey Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"I wasn't snooping around in your car or anything but when I went to get my purse yesterday; I saw a letter with my name on it. Care to explain?"

Jess didn't say anything. He just stared at her with the rain pouring down his face.

Rory sighed, "Come on Jess! My name is on it, I have a right to know. What's in the letter?" He still didn't answer. Rory felt the tears building up again, "God Jess! Will you just answer me?"

He looked from her face to the ground. His eyes shifted uncomfortably at the grass below him and he yet again did not even utter a word.

Rory nodded, "Fine! Your not ganna tell me? That's just fine. I didn't really care anyway!" Rory stomped her foot and turned around to walk away.

"Rory wait!" Jess got a firm grasp of her arm and spun her back around to face him. He pulled her in and without thinking, placed his lips on hers. She took a tiny step back at the surprise of the kiss only to take a step forward a moment later. She found herself wrapping her around his neck as the kiss deepened a little.

It all happened within less than five seconds. Rory's brain kicked in and she realized what she was doing. She pulled away quickly and stared at Jess. He stared right back. Jess did not come with the intention of kissing her. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing. He had no idea why he had even touched his lips to hers but, that didn't matter now. It was too late for it to matter. Jess had kissed her.

Rory put her hand to her mouth. Did that really just happen? She looked straight into his eyes and shook her head, "I… you….. We…" She could not form any type of sentence for her brain was tangled around their previous interaction. Rory breathed out into the rain and started to slowly back away towards her house. She reached the steps and turned around to sprint back inside. She locked the door and slid onto the ground. Rory closed her eyes. What had they done?
