Chapter 1: What happened to you in the past years?

October 2003: Yale University

It was late October and the sun was still warm. It was 11 in the morning. Rory still had one class left for the day but only in 4 hours! She decided to go study under those big trees.

"So, Rory, what are you doing?"

"Studying! What are you doing here Jeff? You're not supposed to have classes today!" Rory said, a little surprised.

"Well, I got invited to this party tonight; I really don't want to go alone. Would you be my date?" the stranger asked.

Rory started to laugh, she had met Jeff in Greece during the summer, they were identical except for the fact that he was a second year student and that he was popular. Nothing was wrong with him, he was good looking, smart, funny and so on, but he liked boys. Very few knew about this fact, he wanted to have a normal college life, playing soccer with the boys without them being scared of other things happening. Rory was one of the few who knew. They made this pack that as long as they were dating without being dating, they could break up anytime they want. It was perfect for Rory; she didn't want to have a boyfriend after the pain Jess had inflicted her. The advantage of this situation was that he always had a beautiful girl beside him so no one would suspect his orientation. She like Jeff a lot, he was like the brother she never had. He would protect her from any bad thing and he liked her a lot, she was like a dream come true, in fact, if he were to fall for a girl it would be her. That is if could find her twin male!

"Well Jeff, I would love to be your date tonight! Plus I could select a boy that I think you'd make a great couple with!" she said with a laugh caught in her throat.

"Of course! And I'll be choosing the one that would look better on top of you!"

"You are so gross! Pick me up at what time?"

"Why don't you pick me up, it's in New Haven so I'll be keeping you for the night."

"Okay, what time?"

"Whenever you can't leave your grand parent's house and be as beautiful as you always are!"

"No worry! I'll be there."

The same night, Stars Hollow

"Mom, Mom? Where are you? I need you!" Rory screamed while coming inside her house.

"What's up baby?"

"I need to look perfect for Jeff tonight. We are going to a party!"

"You won't be sleeping at home then?"

"Nope, that's why we are going to take two cars to go to dinner!"

"You are still picking him up!"

"Well, he already is in New Haven, the party is there also and if he picked me up he would have to drive 2 hours just to pick me, plus 1 hour and a half to bring me back tomorrow."

"Make sense, so why do you need me?"

"Choosing my clothes and make me the prettiest girl at the party"

"Why would you want to do such a thing? Where is my Rory? You know, the one hiding with a book at a party!" Lorelai said feigning to be scandalized.

"Well, for Jeff of course! What do think?"

"That's true so no one will suspect yadayada… Although, it would be something to expect from me, not from my perfect daughter."

"Can't we just hurry up, we don't have much time."

"Okay, run to the shower now!"

"And you go find me the perfect outfit!"

"You'll wear whatever I chose!"

"I don't have time to argue with you"

"This is going to be so much fun!"

"Now, I'm scared."

Same night, Hartford

"Rory, who exactly is this boy you have a date with?" inquired Emily.

"A second year student in Yale, he is one of the top students of his class" Rory answered.

"What is his name?"

"Jeff Mackenzie"

"Is it going to be serious any time soon?"

"I don't think so, he's just a friend and we hang out a lot thought, I really have to go, I have an hour drive to do before getting in New Haven"

"Don't you know he should be picking you up?" A disgraced Emily asks.

"Well, like you know, it's not a real date, we're friends and we'll just get at the party together."

"Can't you go alone?"

"I don't want to be bothered by any guy who would be interested in me and Jeff doesn't want to date anybody either, perfect deal!"

"Well, I suppose we could finish this conversation another time, I just don't understand why you don't want to date boys anymore!"

"I don't want to get hurt again, that's it"

"But…"

"Mom, that's enough, Rory get in your car as fast as you can" Lorelai said

"Bye mom, bye grandma!" and then she runs out of the room.

At the party

He was standing in the room looking around for someone he knew. His eyes finally saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Then memories came back to him.

They were kissing on a piano bench and she got up and started to cry, "Did I bite you or something?"

"No, it's not you!" and she left without another word.

"You should just go for another type of girl; you know the type smart and funny…"

"You don't want me to tell Dean that we kissed"

"By Georges I think he got it!"

"Okay, if that's what you want"

"It is"

"He's going to found out anyway!"

"It's just things are really good between me and Dean right now and I don't want anything to mess that up! Especially not something that meant nothing at all to me and that I wish never happened in the first place!"

"You make it impossible for anyone to be nice to you!"

"Stupid" She said with sorry eyes

"Yeah well that's something I'll be able to ponder in military school!"

"I don't know what to say"

"Well, image your relief to know that soon I will be gone!"

"I'm so sorry!"

"Well, I'm a big boy, I can handle it" He said just a little above a whisper

"So, I would kiss you goodbye but you're boyfriend is watching!" because she didn't say anything, he added "Take care of yourself, Mary" with one of his smirks.

She just smiled with teary eyes and smiled.

He hadn't though about her for over a year. At first he was wondering if she would have let him kiss her. After a couple of days, he realized that it was Rory Gilmore he was thinking about. She would have felt sorry for just about anyone. She wasn't secretly in love with him, she was honest and she loved Dean. And he had stopped thinking about her. He searched the crowd to see Dean but instead, he saw a really good looking guy with his arm around her shoulder. He started to walk toward her and when he was behind her, he whispered: "Is that you Mary?"

The other guy simply sad, "You got the wrong person, her name is Rory."

"He knows Jeff, he was just teasing me" Rory said, her cheeks blushing a little bit when she looked at him.

"Where is your big bean?" Tristan asked

"The name was Dean and he's probably somewhere with his fiancée, Tristan; meet Jeff, Jeff meet Tristan"

"Nice to meet you Jeff"

"Same here, I'll let you guy talk, I'm going to get something to drink, do you want something Tristan?" asked Jeff

"No thank you" turning to Rory he had "What happened with Dean?"

"Jess happened"

"I though it was Jeff"

"Well it is"

And they went to sit and Rory told Tristan the event of the last two years.

"So, how was military school?" Rory asked.

"Hard at first, then it got better. I made friends, we had to scrub the floor together everyday and we had lot of trainings."

"I can see that"

"Wow, checking me out?"

"Well, sorry about that."

"No need to be sorry." Tristan said with a smile. Realizing that Jeff was watching them with a smile he said "He's less jealous then Dean was!"

"That's because he trust me. Beside, our relationship is not what it looks like."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, we are dating and I love him deeply but we are not in love and we will never be"

"Why?"

"It's like that, that's it! Well, it was nice talking to you but Jeff might be missing me. Bye Tristan!"

"See you around!"

Jeff apartment

"You know, I think I would pick that tall dark stranger you were talking to!" Rory said laughing.

"Well, he would be a perfect match for me if it weren't for the fact that he's engage to a girl!"

A beep could be heard from the kitchen and Rory got up and said:

"Finally, coffee's ready!" and she starts running toward the kitchen.

When she comes back from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee, Jeff says looking at her:

"Why won't you move in with me?"

"We had this conversation a millionth time Jeff and you know I can't!"

"You will have to leave one day or another!"

"I know but I prefer another! Can we change subject please?"

"I've talk to your mom. She thinks it would be a great idea too."

"Whoa! When have you talked to my mom?"

"You're more often on the road than at home. She misses you!"

"But she would miss me even more if I move in!"

"That's where you got it all wrong. If you lived here, you'd save 2 hours of driving everyday. You would be able to rest more. You're going to kill yourself the way you're running. Think about it! You'd be able to sleep later in the morning and you'd have more time to study at night!"

"But, when would I see my mom?"

"You'd be an hour drive away! She's more than welcome here and you can spend the week-ends at home"

"I don't know. It would be weird; I would miss the whole town!"

"You could spend a night or two if you miss them too much but you it would still be less traveling for you. And could have an active life around campus which you want to have but don't have time to."

"Okay Jeff, let's be honest, what would you have to gain?"

"You" while saying that, he cheeks turned a very funny shape of pink.

"But, I though you…" she was interrupted by his deep voice.

"I am. Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of sharing my room with a girl. You have your room already. Nobody ever slept there, except you. I would have my cover up for real and it's kind of lonely living here by myself."

"Get a roommate! A boyfriend! I don't know."

"I want it to be you. You're like a sister to me. We have fun together. Could you please just think about it?"

"Okay, I'll think about it. I don't make any promises thought!"

"Okay, so what's the story with you and Blondie?"

"Nothing, we went to high school together for a while, he bugged me,we tried to be friends, he pushed to much for me to go out with him, he turned bad, he was sent to military school."

"Nothing else?"

"Nope, tonight was the first time I saw him since he left!"

"Which is when exactly?"

"About 2 years ago."

"He's the one I would have picked up for you at the party. Great chemistry even when he was looking at you before talking to you."

"Well, it's late and I don't want to wake up too late tomorrow. I'm going to bed!"

"He has a thing for you!"

"Well, someone told me that once but he's a player and it's better for a person to stay away from players because they break your heart the second you turn around."

"Did he break your heart?"

"No, my father broke my mother's. Good night! I'll see you on Monday."

"Good night, sleep tight!"
