For the whole switch everything, I figure, Jess was once in to school
before his parents left him so yeah..Chapters will definitely get longer!
Don't worry, that was sort of a beginning thing..THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO
REVIEWED!! Now back to the story.
In New York....
It was a cold day in New York. Fall to be exact. The trees were shedding brightly shaded leaves in every which way. People walked by the streets in panic, carrying back presents from their holiday shopping. Everything was jam packed at this time of the year, especially all the stores.
In a small apartment just off on 11th street, a man was listening to his music on a walkman. But still, despite that the music was still loud as hell.
Luke yelled over the blaring music, "Jess are you deaf or something?!"
"I like my music loud, what's your point?" Jess yelled back defensively
"You're going to break an ear drum one day, that's the point! It is even to loud for me and I don't even have the headphones on!"
"So, wear earmuffs. They block out noise." He said throwing him a shirt. "Put it on, I have to get to school and you have to get to work."
Luke growled. He hated having a responsible nephew. When he lived by himself, he got to pick and choose his workdays. But now that Mr. Responsible was living with him, he had to go to work every single day. Not that he didn't like Jess or anything, in fact he loved Jess.
"Do, I have to?" Luke nagged.
"You will ask tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after the day after, and so on." Jess stated obviously.
With that Luke stomped out the door. Luke thought to himself, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah.Jess is always right..but that doesn't change the fact that I absolutely hate work. Okay, I don't hate work, but I have that Richard guy! He pisses me off!'
A few minutes later Jess grabbed his coat and walked outside to the bus stop.
"Hey Jess!" a girl behind him said.
"Hey sweetie," he said as he kissed her on the cheek.
This was Jess's girlfriend...Gena, they had been going out for three years.
"So, whatcha been up to?" Jess asked, "I tried calling you all weekend but you were never home."
"I told you Jess, family ski trip." Gena replied slowly.
"But how come your mom was home then?" Jessed pointed out.
"Umm, she decided not to go...fever, yeah she had a fever." She muttered.
"Okay, sure." Jess said finally dropping the subject.
Over the past few weeks it seemed as though they had grown further apart. She hardly ever had time for him with all the "family" vacations she went on.
****At Weston****
The halls of Weston were the same as Jess could remember, boring, boring, and boring. Despite that, Jess loved school. He was top of all his classes and headed straight to be a big novelist, or a big doctor, or even a big lawyer. He argued a lot, the lawyer job could be good for him.
Throughout class he though about Gena. He wondered what the hell she had been up to for the past weeks. If she had gone on five different family trips, then her family HAD to be really close, but it wasn't..Did he do anything wrong? 'Naww,' he thought answering his own question. Finally school was out. Jess hopped on the bus and went for a walk down Madison Ave.
**Back at the Gilmore house**
Lorelai paced back in forth in her room. 'Would she take it well?'
'Would she feel like she was being shipped of for no reason?' Thoughts pumped in Lorelai's head.
"Rory! Hunny," Lorelai called from upstairs.
Rory came into the room and sat down. "What mom?"
"Umm, how would you like to get out of Star's Hollow?" Lorelai asked.
"That would be awsome," Rory replied.
"Oh good," Lorelai paused. "How would you like to move in with Aunt Becky in New York?"
"I mean I guess that would be cool, if she has time for me." Rory replied not bummed, but not happy.
"Okay, you leave now. Here is the address, her phone number and other phone numbers just in case you get lost. Get your stuff packed."
Rory got all her belongings stuffed into five different suitcase. 'Better to overpack,' she thought. And hopped on the bus to New York City. She knew she would miss her mom. But she didn't give a shit about Star's Hollow.
In about an hour she was in New York. No one was there to greet her. 'Hum, typical Aunt Becky,' she thought to herself. She had the address she could find it herself.
She walked along the streets of New York with five different pieces of luggage. It was a struggle to even carry one. She had been walking for 15 minutes and was nowhere near her aunts house.
She finally decided to ask for help.
"Hey, um, sorry to bother you, but do you know where, 8th St. is?" she asked hoping for an answer.
A boy about 5'6 with brown hair answered, "Yeah, it is over there."
"Um, thanks," she said turning away from the man to begin her expedition.
"Hey," he paused. "Do you need any help?"
"No, I am okay." She said as she dropped a piece of luggage in the street. She ran into the street to get it and dropped another piece. "Okay, on second thought, I will take you up on that offer." She smiled.
She hardly ever smiled. Only when she was with her mom did she smile. No one could make her happy. She thought to herself, 'Wait, Gilmore. Did you just smile at this guy? Woah, slow down girl!'
"So what are you doing in New York?" he asked.
"I was shipped here by my mom from a small town," she replied.
"Oh, I know how it feels. I am living with my uncle because my mom couldn't take care of me. You'll love New York." he said trying to change the subject.
"Is that a promise?" she replied with a smile.
"Yep. You might hate it at first being as though you are from a small town, but you will love it eventually. Maybe I should take you sight seeing one day." he suggested.
"Yeah, maybe." she trailed off.
"Okay, here is the house."
"Thanks! So by the way, I never got your name." Rory said.
"Jess, my name is Jess." He said shaking her hand.
"Nice to meet you Jess, I am Rory." She replied.
"Bye, see you around!" he waved.
"Bye."
She walked into the apartment and dropped her stuff. "Hi Aunt Becky, thanks for picking me up." As she looked up she was in complete shock and disguist.
"Oh MY GOD!" Rory yelled and ran out the door.
A few minutes later Aunt Becky came downstairs where she was sitting.
"You could have knocked you know." She suggested.
"I am sorry, now I have to knock at the place where I live? You could have told me you were screwing a guy. And especially leave me not knowing how to get here."
"I'm sorry," she said in her heavy New York accent.
"Yeah whatever," Rory said as she got up and left.
She wanted to ask her Aunt where the nearest bookstore was, but she was to pissed off. 'Hell, I will find it myself.' And sure enough she did.
She walked in to the bookstore on 10th and Main St. Their were thousands of books on the walls. Way more than were in the Star's Hollow section.
'Where to begin,' she thought to herself.
'Oh, Virginia Woolf, that sounds good.'
She picked up a copy of 'A Room of Ones Own' and began to read the back.
In A Room of One's Own Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister. A sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, and equal in genius but whose legacy is radically different.
"You like Virginia Woolf?" a voice said from behind her.
She turned around, "Oh Jess, you scared me."
She paused, "Yeah, I love her."
"She is okay, to feminine for me. I go for more Hemingway." Jess replied.
"You like to read?"
"Yeah, it is kind of dorky, or at least that is what my girl..I mean my friend tells me."
"Oh no, I think its rather cute," she said forcing a smile.
"Well, if I do it of course it is cute," he said jokingly.
"Oh yeah, of course, what was I thinking," she replied sarcastically.
The read for a few hours in the book store.
Rory looked up from her book, "Wanna go get coffee?"
"How do you know I love coffee?" Jess asked.
"I know what coffee crazy people look like, my mom was one of them."
"Oh that's funny," he said smiling.
In the coffee shop.
"What kind of coffee do you want?" Rory questioned.
"Ummm, plain coffee, no add in's."
"One, plain coffee, one mocha frapachino." She said to the waitress.
Rory walked back to the table with the two coffees and sat down.
"So what school are you going to?" Jess asked curiously.
"I am not real big on school." Rory replied trailing off.
"Why?"
"I don't want to talk about it. Just drink your coffee." Rory said sternly.
Jess could tell that something was wrong in Rory's life. As much as she tried to make everything peachy keen she couldn't. Something horrible had happened to her that effected the way she acted.
But as she wished, he stayed away from the topic.
"So, what was Star's Hollow like?"
"You really want to know?"
Jess nodded.
"Okay, well.it was a really small festive town. Everyone knew everyone so on. People were very into everything."
"So how is that bad?" Jess questioned in aw of her lifestyle.
"Well, I had a few minor problems, and it was all over everywhere. You get it?"
Rory thought to herself, 'Minor problems.I wish'
"Oh, I see." Jess said.
"That is why I hated it."
"Well, Rory, I have to get going. Hopefully, I will run in to you again." Jess replied leaving.
Rory walked home. She hated it here so far, even more than Star's Hollow. At least in Star's Hollow no one cared about her. Here, she had Jess. She had to act all peachy keen and she hated it. 'Oh my mom is a real coffee freak. Blah Blah Blah' She would have never said that in Star's Hollow. She hadn't even talked this much to people besides her mom in her life. That night she skipped dinner and went to her room. She thought about the past events of the day and a tear rolled down her eye...
