and after that bit of immature squabbling the saga continues.

Jess left the diner thoughts swirling in his mind. He knew that she and Dean were still together. Gossip flew quickly through the town.

Everything I know

tells me she's everything

that I could hope for

everything I know

tells me I can't let her

walk away

I took my time to find

the words

I hoped she'd feel

the same

Rory pulled on a zip up sweater at nine thirty and picked up the phone. "Dean?"

"Hey. Whats up?"

"Dean I don't think this is working anymore."

"You don't love me, you never did."

" I did, but I can't. Not anymore."

"This is about him isn't it."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does, I still love you. I never stopped. I want you to be happy."

"Thank you. Don't be a stanger ok."

"Yeah, ok."

She hung up the phone prepared for anything, and everything.

Can it be love that I feel in my heart?

Can it be love - have I fallen for you?

Can it be love?

Everlasting Emotion?

'Cause when you look at me and Smile I Know...

Would Never Ever Work like this

Would Never Ever happen so fast

Don't blame me 'Cause I can't help myself

Can't seem to open my Eyes - I'm dreaming

He sat down on the bridge and glanced at his watch. She was half an hour late. He submitted to the realization that she wasn't coming and left the note taped the bridged, he walked away and didn't look back.

Rory raced to the bridge swearing when she glanced at her watch and realized that she was half an hour late. He was going to think that she wasn't coming and then she might just lose the one thing she'd given up everything for. When she reached she whispered-yelled his name but no one answered and she saw a white envelope on the ground. It had her name on the front. She opened it but couldn't see the writing so she pocketed the letter and hurried home to read it.

She snapped the light on in her room and sat down at her desk unfolding the letter.

Dear Rory,

If you are reading this letter we obviously aren't together right now even though I want us to be. I wonder if you do also. Maybe I'll never know, but then I would the rest of mylife second guessing and wondering about what might have been, what could've been. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I don't believe in love at first sight. It's unrealistic. However, love after half an hour I do believe in. I've clocked more than that much time with you. We could be great.

The letter wasn't signed but she knew who it was from.
