Disclaimer: See chapters 1 and 2.

A/N: This is actually more of a continuation of chapter 2. Sort of. It's just a little thing about Jess. The Rory/Jess action will be in chapter four. I still need ideas for what Jess, Amy, Lilly, Jimmy, and Sasha will get into during the summer. So please send me some ideas. Thanks. And thanks for all the positive feed back on both of my stories. Sorry it's so short. Oh and I won't be writing anymore until about the end of the week. I have finals coming up.

~*~*~*~*Chapter 3*~*~*~*~

Jess goes through his bags looking for a book to read. It's eight a.m. on a Friday morning and everyone else is asleep. He couldn't sleep. He knew Amy was leaving for her trip today, and that by now she would already be gone. Somewhere deep down inside he was hoping that she would have stopped to say goodbye, even if it meant waking him up. She didn't. She had told him the night before that she was leaving, that she had something to take care of. It had taken her ages to get her Mom to agree to let her go, and now she was gone. She would only be gone a couple of days but he was going to miss her.

Finally his hand landed on a book. He pulled it out and looked at it. It wasn't his. It was a worn out book with a leather cover, it had an envelope tied to it with string. He took it over to the sofa and untied the string. He removed the envelope and looked at the cover for a minute. A Tale of Two Cities. Amy. He cautiously ripped open the envelope and took out the letter.

Jess-

Sorry I didn't stop to say goodbye. I couldn't. I knew you'd ask where I was going and I wasn't able to answer. I think you know. I can't promise you good news. Anyway, this reminded me a lot of you. I hope it gives you some perspective while I'm gone.

You asked if I believed in love at first sight? Yes. I love you big bro. Wish me luck.

Amy

He smiled.

"Good luck."

Jess leaned back and started read. Moments later Lilly walked into the living room with an afghan, two pillows and a book. She walked over and put a pillow in Jess' lap and another at the opposite end of the sofa. She sat down leaning her back against the pillow and covered her legs with the afghan motioning for Jess to do the same. He did, stretching one leg out so it was beside Lilly, who covered his foot with the blanket, and folding the other one under him. Lilly looked at him a smiled and he looked back and smiled his crooked smile. Both bent their heads over their books and began to read.

Sasha had woke up after hearing someone talking in the living room. She glanced out the bedroom door to see who was up and saw her daughter and Jess reading on the sofa, obviously comfortable in each other's presence. She smiled and went back to bed.
