A Rose For Rory
By Emily Carol
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: You really thought I owned Gilmore Girls? Are you crazy? I also sort of don't even own my title because I got the idea from a Lurlene McDaniel book called A Rose For Melinda but if you have read that book I would like to note that Rory does not get leukemia like Melinda in that book, in fact A Rose For Melinda and my story are pretty different. I do own Lacey.
Summary: Europe was great and now the Gilmore Girls are back to their normal lives. But Rory's first year at Yale doesn't go as planned when memories start rushing back. And then she takes the jump of her life.
Genre: General/Tragedy
Rating: PG for certain issues that are dealt with.
A/N- Okay, I got the ten total reviews I wanted. And before I write Chapter 4 I want 15 total reviews please because I don't see a point in writing this if no one reads and reviews.
Oh, and I do have Lacey in a REALLY strong southern accent so there are words that aren't really words in here.

"Were you cryin' yourself ta sleep last night?" Lacey asked Rory when Rory got up.
Rory curled under her covers more and nodded.
"Why?" Lacey asked.
"Because I miss him," Rory said crying.
"Ya boyfriend ya left back home I'm guessin'" Lacey said.
"More like he left me," Rory said. "He didn't even say good-bye."
"Well I ain't much help there," Lacey said. "I never had a boyfriend unless you count Jeffery next door when I was 5 but then we moved. Well I gotsta get goin' see ya."
"See you," Rory said. She curled up on her bed more.

Jess stuck out his thumb. He thought of what he'd done today.
He'd left Jimmy's house without saying good-bye. He wanted to get Jimmy back for doing that to his mother. If only he hadn't told him he was leaving yesterday. Jess sighed and looked along the highway for someone to stop. No one did. He sighed and pulled a notebook and pen out of his backpack and wrote in large letters on several pieces of paper which he had to tape together: I'd love to love her again, take me back to the girl I love. New Haven Connecticut; Yale.
He looked at the sign. 'Perfect' he thought. He held up the sign. And almost immediately someone stopped. "Why'd you leave her if you love her?" A woman asked him.
"Because I got kicked out by my uncle," Jess said. "Just help me get along the way please."
"I'll do you better," the lady said. "I'll take you to her."
"Really?"
"Sure will," the lady said. "I had a boyfriend who left once and I wish he'd come back like you're doing for this girl. She must be special.
"She sure is," Jess said.
"Well I'm Alabama," she said. "Get in."
"Alabama?" Jess said puzzled. "Like the state?"
"Yep," Alabama said. "My parents moved from Alabama to Pittsburgh right before I was born and they wanted to remember Alabama, so they named me it."
"Well that explains it," Jess said.
"Well I'm not going to press you your name so how about if I call you," Alabama looked long and hard at Jess. "Dodger?"
Jess nodded, pushing aside the memory of Rory calling him that. He'd remember when he saw her again.

"My poor baby," Lorelai said. She walked into Rory's dorm room. "Lacey called me and told me that you've been crying a lot."
"Oh Mom," Rory said. "You said I wouldn't have memories of him here. But Pairs is here and she remembered him and asked about him. And then I was trying to read last night and you know what two books I pulled out?"
"Some boring long ones I'd never read if my life depended on it?" Lorelai suggested.
"The Fountainhead and Oliver Twist."
"Okay," Lorelai said confused.
"Jess hated the Fountainhead and when I met him I started to call him Dodger from Oliver Twist." Rory cried harder.
"It's okay hon," Lorelai said. "It's okay." And Lorelai rocked her daughter back to sleep, knowing she was helpless in helping Rory get over Jess.
---
"Well now I want to know about her," Alabama said to Jess. "What should we call her?"
"Angeleyes," Jess said. "Because her eyes look like the eyes of an angel." He closed his eyes and remembered the piercing blue color of her eyes. And he smiled, knowing he'd be back with her again soon.

A/N- I hope you all REALLY enjoyed this! Remember, 15 total reviews before chapter 4! R&R!
