Title: The Greatest Loves
Rating: PG
Focus: Rory POV
Summary: Rory had fallen in love with 3 people... 3 great people... and this is her take on all of them. Slightly AU.

I had fallen in love with 3 people in a matter of 2 years. I couldn't help but feel guilty. Was I stealing someone else's first love? Was I depriving 2 other girls from their loved ones? Was I depriving some girl of a guy's affection? What had been so important about me, which I had three guys falling in love with me?

The first one, was Dean Forester. I was 16 years old when I met him. He was new to Stars Hollow, he had moved from Chicago, and he was walking around Stars Hollow High. I ran into him when I was walking out with my things. I had just found I had been accepted into Chilton, in Hartford, when Dean had arrived. Dean and I were together for 2 years, with one break-up in between, that had only lasted a month or so. I had loved Dean, of course, but there was something missing from him. He was my first love, my first kiss, my first boyfriend. He showed me life, and opened me up... and I had broken his heart. I'll always remember Dean.

The second one was Jess Mariano. Jess had come to Stars Hollow when I was 17. He had moved from New York to live with his uncle, Luke Danes, my mom's object of affection. No one had taken a liking to Jess, to quickly, because he was different. And Stars Hollow frowned up different. He was rebellious and carefree, and always pulling prank on poor Taylor Doose. Jess had stolen my heart away from Dean the moment he had come to Stars Hollow. He shared my passion for books, and we accepted each other. Jess was one of my best friends, aside from Loralei and Lane. When Dean and I had broken up, Jess was there for me. In fact, Jess was the reason Dean had broken up with me. Jess and I hadn't lasted long, but it was a bittersweet experience I'll never forget. I loved Jess, and I still do, but now, it's a sisterly love for a brother, and we're both okay with that.

Who else could I have loved, you ask? Well, Tristan DuGrey actually. Tristan was Chilton's King, and Hartford's bad boy. I suppose he's who made me fall for Jess. But, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Tristan had made my life a living Hell my sophomore year at Chilton, but that didn't stop me from falling for him... Tristan had been the first kiss, and only kiss, I had had, that had made my blood boil, and made me see fireworks. Tristan had got sent away the beginning of junior year for some prank. He had been sent to North Carolina for military school and life and Chilton was even more unbearable. Tristan had returned right before graduation, when Jess and I had decided we were no good for each other, and when Dean had finally moved on. He came to Stars Hollow, ready to proclaim his love for me. And, for the first time, I finally admitted that I loved him, too. We've been together since that fateful day in the middle of town, 2 years ago. We're getting married today... I can't wait. God, I love him, thank you for sending me an angel.
