Hey! Thanx for all the reviews and this is my bad but when I was looking back through my story I realized I wrote Jesse instead of Jess…. I guess either one goes, but his name will be correct in this chapter. Please keep R&R
~*~ I'll always remember, it was
late afternoon, it lasted forever,
and ended too soon.
You were all by yourself
staring up at a dark gray sky
and I was changed~*~
"You're late." Jess informs Rory as she approaches her car.
"How did you get in my car? And I didn't realize I was on a schedule." Rory replies getting into the driver's side.
"I have my ways."
"So why didn't you just drive away?" Rory jokes
"I was considering it but I didn't think it would be very nice."
"How very thoughtful of you." Rory says starting up the car.
"So why were you late?" Jess asks
"Cause I was making out with this hot guy in the janitor's closet." Rory replies not taking her eyes off the road.
"Oh I see how it is, it's all right. That'll be me in a few days."
"Only days? Damn you move fast."
"You know it" Jess chuckles
"So did you like Chilton."
"Some aspects more then others."
"Like what?" Rory asks her gaze still on the road ahead
"Like the girls."
"You met some?"
"A few, but there's one in particular….." Jess trails off
Rory glances at him "Do you plan on telling me?"
"Not really."
~*~ In places no one would find
all your feelings so deep inside
it was then that I realized
that forever was in your eyes
the moment I saw you cry~*~
"Fine, so about Saturday."
"What about Saturday? Where are you going?" Jess asks not recognizing anything.
"Don't worry about where we're going. And you know what I mean."
"Why I flipped out on you?"
"Give the boy a prize."
"I'm sorry about that." Jess apologizes "I didn't mean too."
"So why did you?"
"Cause you stirred up all that crap from my past."
~*~ It was late in September, and I'd seen you before
You were always the cold one, but I was never that sure
You were all by yourself staring up at a dark gray sky
and I was changed~*~
"I didn't exactly have it easy you know." Rory replies
"Yea what was your biggest dilemma not getting Princess Barbie for Christmas?" Jess retorts
"My mom and I have to live in a shed for a while, we had like no money, my mom has worked so hard to get to the position that she is at today." Rory tells him
"You seem normal enough" Jess points out
Rory laughs "Yea I guess"
"What about you dad? What happened to him?"
"Neither my mom or dad was ready for a kid, but my father never disappeared, he was around. Just not in our house."
"Oh" Jess replies looking down.

He looks up when he feels the car park. He follows Rory out of the car. "What are we doing here? And where is here?"
"I'm not really sure"
"You do know how to get out of here right?"
"Yea." Rory climbs onto the hood of the car and sits down her knees tucked under her arms.
Jess climbs up "What is it?"
"What?"
"You want to know."
"I do."
"You want to know, the countless nights I listened to my mother and father fight, because he came home drunk? Or how she would call up Luke and act like everything was fine? Or maybe the time my father threw me into a wall before he walked of out my life forever? What about the countless times he let me down? Calling me and saying he'd show up for my birthday or that my Christmas gift was in the mail already, then curse out the postal service when it never came." Jess takes a breath trying to calm his nerves.
"Jess-"
"Or when my mother married my stepfather, and he told me he could me my father? Only to show me more disappointment. Or the countless times my mom and stepfather said they didn't know what to do with me? And how I was a failure and nothing but trouble, that the army couldn't even make due with me. That they wouldn't be able to control me."
"Jess-"
"Or the night my mom told me I was moving here and I heard her on the phone that night telling her mother that she felt something she hadn't in ages. Happiness and serenity. That she felt like a ton of weights had been lifted off her shoulders."
This time Rory didn't try to interrupt him.
"You can say it, say that I'm a loser and I probably deserved everything that I got, I did." Jess shrugs
~*~ I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything all right
I'll always remember- it was late afternoon~*~
"Jess, I don't think you deserved that, I don't think that your mother doesn't love you or that your stepfather hates you that much. As for your father it's his loss."
"I- I don't- Rory" Jess stutters searching for the words
"What is it?" Rory asks facing him noticing his struggle
"You're the only one." Jess manages a weak smile and Rory realizes he is trying not to cry.
"Jess" Rory says barely above a whisper "It's ok."
"It's ok what?" Jess mumbles
"To cry" Rory replies.
Jess turns and faces Rory. "I never did, my father told me when I was a kid to suck it up and be a man. So I never did."
"But it's ok." Rory says softly taking his hand.
Jess casts his gaze downwards and Rory notices one single solitary tear slide off of his chin.
