Jess frowned and tilted his head. He examined the girl and finds her familiar, "do I know you?" he asked
"no…I don't think so…" Faith said and walked away.
Jess turned to his friend Rob who shrugged on his shoulders and motioned him to come in
"who is she? Your girlfriend or what?" Jess asked
Rob shook his head, "no, a friend who happened to be staying with us," he replied
"a friend?" Jess raised his eyebrows
"it was not me who invited her to stay here but I'm glad she did, she's really nice," Rob said
"your dad did?"
"yeah…"
Jess nodded his head, "where is your dad by the way?"
"he's still working in the hospital so by the way Jess, it's been a long time, we have a lot of catching up to do," Rob grinned
Jess grinned back, "yeah."
Later that night, Faith was lying down on her bed in the dark. Her stereo was on and it was playing an old instrumental song called Angel in the Sun. While listening to it, her mind was out somewhere in space and she is somewhat confused about what she is feeling right now. It is like there a lot of voices talking in her head. She shook her head and the voices won't go away. She let out a frustrated groan and decided to get a glass of water. She went downstairs and headed for the kitchen, opened the cupboard, grabbed a glass and then to the refrigerator getting a pitcher of water and poured it.
"Hey,"
The glass slipped off from her hand and shattered when it hit the floor. Faith was startled and turned around to find Jess leaning against the kitchen counter across her. She scowled at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," he said apologetically, Faith shrugged, grabbed the towel and started to gather the broken and Jess decided to help her
"no, it's alright, let me do it," she said
Jess backed off and watched her clean up with folded arms
When she threw the broken glass away in the trash, she turned to Jess
"I'm sorry about earlier, you know, walking away," she apologized
"it's okay," he said nodding his head
Faith nodded back, "oh well, so how come you're not yet sleeping?" she asked
"I am used to sleeping at night and you, you're still up,"
"well, I just can't sleep and I feel like there is someone playing with my head, you know, voices, and they won't go away, "
"very frustrating isn't it?"
"it is," Faith sighed and leaned against the counter. Jess stared at her. She reminds him of someone but he couldn't place the person
"so where are you from by the way?" she asked
"Stars Hollow,"
Stars Hollow? Faith frowned
"I…uh where is that place?" she asked. Jess didn't miss the confusion on her face earlier
"30 minutes away from Hartford, it's a small town," he replied
"this is strange…but I felt like I know that town…and I…" Faith's frown deepened and Jess watched her with amuse, "are you alright Faith?" he asked
Faith shook her head, "I think I'm going to bed…" she said
"alright, good night," he said
Faith nodded and left the kitchen, leaving Jess with his thoughts and realized now whom she looks like. Rory Gilmore.
The next day, Jess woke up finding himself in the guest room and got up. He got dressed and went down to the kitchen, finding Rob's dad reading a newspaper.
"Good morning Dr. Sean," Jess greeted him
Dr. Sean looked up from the paper and was surprised to see him
"wow Jess, you've grown up," Dr. Sean smiled
"oh well, 4 years is a long time," Jess smiled back and sat down beside him on the table
"yes it is, and I can see that you have changed both inside and out, what have you been doing these days?" he asked with interest
"well, nothing much, just got out of school last week, I'm attending at the University of Connecticut and taking up Literature,"
"good for you Jess, last time I check, you hate school," Dr. Sean said
Jess chuckled, "well, someone got me liking school,"
"ah, I bet that is a girl,"
"yeah it is…" Jess sighed and Faith came into the kitchen, quickly grabbing something from the fridge and started to leave
"don't forget your pills Faith!" Dr. Sean reminded her, she came back to the kitchen, opened the cupboard where Jess could see a lot of pills in containers, and she left with an orange bottle of pills
"geees…she keeps forgetting to bring it with her and it's not good," Dr. Sean sighed as he told Jess
"what are the pills for by the way?" Jess asked
"for her cancer, she's still on her remission…and somewhat I am amazed that she is still alive," he said
Jess frowned, "if you don't mind me asking, but why? And I learned from Rob last night that you invited her to stay here,"
Dr. Sean nodded his head, "yes I did…"
Jess was confused and Dr. Sean could see that
"this is something personal Jess and I can't tell you everything especially you don't know Faith that well,"
"I understand that but there is something with her…she looks like someone I know and she was…a little strange when we met and she kind of emphasized my name, I don't know…but I'm curious…"
Dr. Sean shrugged, "did you say that she emphasized your name?"
"yes she did, and it sounds like I know her or something…"
Dr. Sean frowned and thought a minute, "Faith had an amnesia and doesn't remember anything unless something familiar makes her remember…"
"she has an amnesia?" Jess echoed
"yes…that's why I brought her here…I don't know where she lives and her identity…I found her on the road on my way home from the conference and then I brought her to the hospital and I checked up on her, found out that she is near to her final stage of her disease and later on when she woke up, I asked her if she knows anything, there…nothing and she ended up here because I'm the only kind doctor who would bring her home," Dr. Sean said with a sad smile
Jess chuckled softly, "sure you are,"
"and I decided to put her on chemotherapy and it worked, she was getting better even if she was in her final stage already. And I didn't expect that she would make this far and she's still living up to now, that's why I called her Faith,"
"when did you find her Dr. Sean?"
"a year and a half ago, outside Hartford,"
Jess' eyes widened
"Jess?"
"huh?"
"are you alright?"
"I think…"
"What's the matter Paris? I thought you would be spending time with your boyfriend?" Tristan asked when Paris came over to his place
Paris sighed, "Jess went out of town to meet his friend and he'll be coming back later,"
"so you came to me for entertainment," Tristan smirked
"wipe that smirk off your face Dugrey…and kind of…I'm bored at home and my parents are out of the country as usual,"
"well, then what do you want to do?" Tristan asked
"I don't know…" Paris shrugged
"do you feel like watching movie?"
"no porn,"
Tristan chuckled, "porn? Do I still watch porn? I thought I grew out of that already Par,"
Paris rolled her eyes and suddenly her phone rang
"hello?" she answered and grinned, "hey Jess,"
Tristan smirked and tried to listen but it was one-sided conversation, he gave up and few minutes later, Paris hung up and shrugged
"Jess won't be coming home today, he decided to stay longer because something came up, and he won't tell me,"
"uh-oh, sounds like an affair…"
Paris thought for a minute and looked at Tristan, Tristan frowned and suddenly read her mind
"hey, don't think of that! I'm just kidding you here, Jess won't do that to you Paris," he said
"I hope so…" Paris said
"seriously, he won't do that."*A/N: This chapter really sucks hehe. I know I'm losing the twist here but it will come back soon...just wait for the next chapters and I would like to have feedbacks to know what you guys think where this is going by the way...thanks!*
