Chapter 5
Jess' POV (Different time)
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, or anything in it, as you know.
A/N: This is Jess' POV, but it's set further back in time, around when Rory first meets Jess. Again, I hope you like it, and if you have any ideas for whose POV or in which situation I should do, please email me at jcohen54@yahoo.com or AIM me. I just started watching Gilmore Girls this September (and I watch Gilmore Girls beginnings), so I haven't seen many late season one or many season two episodes. I know this chapter isn't as good as the last 4, but it was all I could think of when I wrote it. I hope the next one's better, it's also Jess' POV. (If you've read chapter 4, you know why I'm not doing Rory's.) Also, at the beginning and end of this one, there's some stuff I invented (I haven't actually SEEN the episode. I read the book and the transcript.) So, sorry about the long A/N again, on with the chapter! Oh, and if anyone could tell me how to put italics in the stories so they work, that would be great. ~Arianna
My mom, Liz, told me I was going to stay with my Uncle Luke in Stars Hollow, Connecticut. I live in New York. Everybody in Stars Hollow could fit in one room, easily, I thought. I wasn't excited.
When I got there, I discovered that there was going to be a sort of welcoming dinner for me at a house in Stars Hollow. It was Lorelai Gilmore's, a good friend of Luke's. Luke owns a diner in the town. Everybody knows him. Well, in Stars Hollow, everybody knows everybody else.
I went in. I wandered into a room and met Lorelai's daughter, Rory Gilmore. I liked her immediately. The shelves were filled with books. My kind of room, but I didn't say that. Rory told me she read a lot and asked if I did. I replied that I didn't read much, and picked up a copy of Howl, one of my favorite books. Rory offered to lend it to me. And I suddenly got an idea. I refused her offer, but I borrowed the book when she wasn't looking, planning to put some notes in the margins for her.
I asked Rory if her windows opened, and she told me they did. So I suggested that she and I leave. Rory laughed and told me there was nowhere to go. She said the 24-hour mini-market had already closed. I wasn't really surprised. I asked her if she wanted to leave anyway. She didn't; said it was going to be fun. Then Rory asked if I wanted a soda, and I told her I would get it. I took a beer out onto the porch, thinking about Rory. I already liked her. But it wasn't unlikely that she had a boyfriend already. Even though I really hoped she didn't. And I wondered if she liked me at all.
Then Lorelai caught me drinking the beer. Surprisingly, she didn't exactly get me in trouble. But I left, and so did Luke, which I know she did get really mad about. I just didn't want to be there anymore. The truth was, it hurt, watching Rory, happy, when she didn't like me. Very uncharacteristic for me. But true.
And after I did what I did, she was probably really mad at me. I know she and her mom are really close. I wanted to cry, except Luke's apartment is so small, he would have heard me. And I definitely didn't want Luke to know 1) that I was crying, 2) that I already cared about Rory Gilmore.
But I couldn't help the fact that I was upset (I'm rarely like this), that I liked Rory a lot, and that-that, although it's hard to admit it for me, I want Rory to like me as much as I like her. I really hope she likes my notes in her book. And maybe I can recommend a book to her. Maybe she can recommend a book to me. And maybe I can at least be her friend.
