AN Thanks for the reviews. I don't know if this story is going to go the way that you think it will. Only one more chapter after this.
So they worked. Almost every other day for a month was spent on the dusty stage in Stars Hollow, reading the same lines and running the same scenes until Rory wanted to scream. Finally the night of performance came. Paris had actually invited a few agents that her parents were friends with. Rory doubted anything would become of it but it never hurt to try. The performance went smoothly. Rory was happy with the results and even happier when the cast presented her and Paris with bouquets of roses. They received quite a bit if applause, they also raised nine hundred and sixty-four dollars for charity.
She searched for Jess among the crowds and finally found him shaking hands with an aged man. Jess had the rare smile on. He rushed over to her. "I'm going to New York!" He said excitedly hugging Rory around the waist.
"What happened?" She asked looking straight at him.
"That guy runs a Performing Arts school in New York. He offered me a full scholarship, I'm going to be an actor."
"That's Awesome!" She exclaimed not quite processing that he would be leaving Stars Hollow.
The next day he was gone.
He left her a slip of paper with a phone number and an address but he didn't say good-bye.
He never did.
