By Emily Carol
Chapter 2
He's Back
***
Disclaimer: I'm 13 years old (almost 14) and you seem to think I own Gilmore Girls. What are you on?
Summary: For a reason unknown to anyone but herself Rory Gilmore fled her life with no trace when she was 20. It's 12 years later and she's back in Stars Hollow with a whole new look and personality to see how life went without her, positive she won't be recognized as Leah Haden. Until she realizes, maybe she never wanted to unrecognizable in the first place.
Rating- PG to be safe
Genre- General/Mystery(ish)
A/N- Thanks reviewers!
Rose- Yes I meant her name to be Leah Haden. I just messed around with her middle name and her father's last name to give her a new name because her last name being Hayden might have been suspicious to Lorelai.
Thena- I'm not sure if Dean is coming back. If Dean comes back it will be very slight and not a pairing at all. This chapter will answer Jess for you.

When Leah walked into the Luke's that night for dinner she stopped dead in her tracks.
"Hello," the man behind the counter said. "Haven't seen you before. I'm Jess Mariano, Luke's nephew."
"Hi," Leah said appearing completely calm. "I'm Leah Haden."
"What do you want?"
"Large coffee, burger, and fries," she said. Jess nodded and walked into the kitchen to yell orders at the cook.
"So," Jess said. "What brings you to Stars Hollow?"
"Teaching job," Leah said.
Jess nodded.
"You seem more like a big city boy, why are you here?" she asked him.
"I work at the diner during school hours and I watch my little cousin. She hates me but it pays. Plus I get to live above the diner for it."
Leah nodded. "Your cousin Jennifer?" she asked.
"Yeah," Jess said. "How'd you know?"
"I saw her today," she said. "So how long have you been in Stars Hollow?"
"Well I lived here for a few months my junior year in high school, moved back to New York, and then moved back here as summer started and lived here until the end of my senior year when I moved out to California to live with my dad. I came back for a few weeks ten years ago for Luke and Lorelai's wedding to discover that my high school girlfriend, Lorelai's daughter, had been missing for two years. Then nine years ago I moved back here because a.) Luke and Lorelai said they needed help with Jennifer and b.) This is where she'll come back."
"Whoa," Leah said. "Wait, Lorelai's daughter? Rory?"
"Yeah," Jess said. "How'd you know?"
"I knew her."
"What?" Jess said.
"She went to teaching college with me for a semester," Leah told him.
"Where is she now?" Jess asked eagerly.
"I don't know," Leah said.
Jess looked at her suspiciously. She reminded him of someone.
"What?" Leah asked him.
"Nothing," Jess said.
"So you're convinced Rory's coming back?" Leah asked him.
"I was," Jess said. "But now I think maybe she's never coming back. She's already hurt everyone here and she won't come back if she knows that. She'll stay far away."
Leah nodded. "Well I better be going."
Jess nodded, "Here's your food." He reached and threw it in some takeout boxes.
"Thanks." And Leah walked out the door.
He's back.
