Proposals Chapter One
Rory Gilmore flipped off the light switch and she crawled into her comfortable bed, closing her eyes. She slowly drifted off to sleep, but was jarred awake when she heard a window open. Her window. She looked around, slightly disoriented. She could hardly see, as the room was dark and she was still half asleep, but she found a familiar figure staring at her. "Jess?" She asked, her voice heavy with sleep. "Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up." "No problem. What's wrong? Is everything okay?" "Nothing's wrong. You know what, I'm just gonna leave. I didn't mean to come here. I just ended up here." He put one leg back through the window. Rory grabbed his arm. "Stay." "Stay?" "Stay." She patted the side of her bed. He crawled in, taking his shoes off. He had tears in his eyes, Rory could see them glisten from the moonlight. Rory stroked his cheek. "Talk to me, Jessy." He shook his head. "I can't." "What's wrong?" "Everything." "Everything in general or everything specific?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and Rory settled into his chest. "Everything in general. You, Missy, are the only thing that seems right in my life, and even we're complicated." "Life wouldn't be any fun without complications." "Deep." "Thanks. It's the best thing I can come up with at 1:30 in the morning without any coffee." Jess smiled a little. "So, tell me, what's messed up in your life?" "No one cares about me. My mom can't stand me, that's why she shipped me off. When I went back, my mom just told me to leave her alone and stay out of her way. My friends don't care about me. I got in trouble with them. I did some things I shouldn't have. Drinking, drugs, shoplifting, more. If my friends cared about me, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble. The whole town hates me..." "I don't." "That's only you. I've done nothing to make them like me either. Even your mother hates me. Your mother likes everyone. I suck at school. The work is easy, I just have so many other things to do, things that are more important to me. The teachers gave up on me. I have no one, no family except Luke, no future. My dad ran away from me when I was 6. I mean, what kind of guy runs away from his family? My mom is too busy going from boyfriend to boyfriend, not even noticing me. Books are my one escape. Them and you." "Oh, Jessy, you have me. I'll be your family." Jess kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much, Rory." "You do?" "I do. I never knew I could love, especially to the extent of what I feel for you." "I love you, too, Jess." They were silent for a while. Jess stroked Rory's hair and she fell back asleep. Jess watched her and her words, "I'll be your family," rang through his ears. Then, he got his idea. Slowly, he dozed off, with Rory warm in his arms.
Jess woke up, still feeling sad and lonely, but slightly better. He was embarrassed about his breakdown. He had just been sitting in his bedroom, staring at the ceiling thinking about his miserable life. The next thing he had known he was at Rory's house, breaking in to see her. Only Rory would put up with him sneaking into her room and not even get angry. Rory kissed him sweetly. "You okay?" "A little better." "I wish I could do something to take all your pain away." "You don't deserve to live with pain like mine." "Is there anything I can do to help you?" "I can think of one thing." Jess began to smirk. "Oh? And what's that?" "A kiss." Rory kissed him, full of longing and sweetness. "Better?" "Try again." Rory giggled and kissed him again. He stared into her crystal blue eyes and asked quietly, "Did you mean it last night?" "What?" "That you would be my family." "Of course." "Maybe we could get married. I know we aren't dating and we haven't been, but we love each other. That's all that matters." Rory pulled away from him. "I'm 18, Jess. That's pretty young to get married. I don't think my mom is going to let me marry you. " "So, we'll find somewhere that we can elope." Rory sighed. "Hey, Rory, I'm sorry. I don't wanna freak you out." "You didn't freak me out. I'm okay. I do love you." Rory took a deep breath. "Ask me, Jess." He smiled and hopped out of bed. He got down on his knee. "Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, will you marry me?" Rory smiled, "Yes!" He jumped back up and took her in his arms. He kissed her long and hard, full of passion. Rory heard Lorelai shuffling around in the kitchen. "Stay here. I'll be right back." Rory walked into the kitchen. Lorelai was about to leave for work. Chilton was out for a professional day. "Hey, Mini-me." "Hi, Mom. You leaving?" "Mhm. I'm late, and Michel is probably doing the fun high pitched complaining voice thing, with the vein popping out on his forehead. It's going to be great to see him when I get there. I'll see you tonight. Have a good day off." "Alright." Rory hugged Lorelai tightly, "I love you, Mom." "Love you too, Rory." Lorelai slipped out the back door. Rory went back into her room.
"She's gone. When do you want us to get married?" "Today." "Today? Like this very day?" "Too soon?" "No, it's fine." "I know someone in New York that will marry us. We can catch a bus. Is that good for you? I can pick you up in an hour." "Yeah, I'll be ready." "I'll bring coffee." "Good boy." "I love you, soon-to-be-Mrs. Mariano." "I love you, too." Jess kissed her again, then he went back out trough the window to avoid Babette and Morey.
