"Thanks, Luke," says Laura as she walks out of the diner.
"Today is going to be the day when I tell him why I came back and how
much I've missed him. Today is going to be the day when I tell him I love
him," Laura says to herself.
As Laura approaches the bridge, she sees two faint people locked in
an embrace but thinks nothing of it and continues to scan the area for
Jess.
As Laura gets closer, she sees the boy has brown hair but still
thinks nothing of it.
"Where is he? Luke said he spends his mornings here," Laura says to
herself.
Suddenly she saw him. He was the boy kissing on the bridge. Was that
Rory? She had never met her but had certainly heard about her. She would
always introduce herself to people as a friend of Jess' but that always got
a weird look or "What about Rory and Jess?" She hated this small town and
missed New York City but this was where Jess was so this was where she was.
Even though she'd been here for a few days, she hadn't actually seen him at
all. She'd go to the diner where he worked and lived but was always told by
him that he'd couldn't now because he was working or busy.
Suddenly just as she was about to run away, he saw her. She had no
where to run. She was trapped.
"Laura! What are you doing here?" he said, running up the hill
towards her.
It was too late. No matter what he said, she'd never let him back
into her life. She meant nothing to him.
"Why didn't I realize that?" she thought to herself.
Jess saw her run off, crying but she didn't matter to him. She used to mean
something to him, a lot of something but now, things had changed with Rory
coming into his life.
"Jess, aren't you going to do something?" Rory asked.
"I'm going to do this," he said running up and grabbing and kissing her.
