Chap 15 - How a Special Weekend Continues
The morning passed really fast. They spent the rest of the day on the bridge, on the gazebo and walking through the town. When the evening arrived they went to Gilmore's house and got ready. Jess took Rory to a small restaurant in Hartford where they used to go a few years before. The night went on pleasantly. They came back to the house and spent the rest of the evening just adoring each other, loving each other.
In the next day Rory woke up late in the morning. She was greeted by a breakfast's tray on bed. There were pancakes, muffins, eggs, a lot of coffee and a rose. Jess had done all by himself. After staying all morning long in bed they went to Hartford's mall to shop, something that the Gilmore girls traditionally loved. They bought shoes, clothes, CDs, and of course, books. When they came back to Stars Hollow Jess went to the Gilmore's house so they could leave their bags there and then Jess took Rory to the diner
"Hey, do you mind about staying here until I come back?" he asked.
"Why? I thought it's our weekend"
"And it is. I just have to do something"
"What?"
He laughs. "No way you're going to get this information from me"
"Hmm...okay. I'll stay here, but don't take too long to comeback"
"I'll try", he kissed her and then looked at Luke. "Luke takes care of her. Don't let her get out of here"
"Okay, she won't", he smiled at the couple.
"See ya", he kissed her again.
"Bye"
Rory stood sit on the counter drinking coffee for an hour and half. She's getting so bored and there's no place to go. Seeing Rory was becoming frustrated just being there, with nothing to do Luke approached her.
"Hey. Don't you go upstairs? Watch a movie, maybe read. Jess never got everything that was his when he moved to New York. It may has a book in his old room."
Rory's eyes grew and a smile crossed her face. "Sure. I'll do anything for a book right now. Well, almost everything. Thanks Luke"
"No problem. Just go upstairs"
She went to the apartment and to Jess' room. When she opened the door it was like four years ago just for a second. She closed her eyes and sighted. When she opened them again it's all different. His bed and his nightstand were still in the same place but the rest of the room was empty. There was no sheets on the bed or curtains on the window. She opened his closet's door. It had just a few clothes that he must had forgotten in time that he came back to visit Luke and stayed in his old room.
All the happiness while dating him and all the sadness when they broke up overtook her. She started to step back until she reached the bed. She sat on the bed looking all around. There was so many memories, so many stories in each inch of that room. So many laughs, so many tears, so many kisses, so much intimacy. The room was almost an accomplice of them, and it was definitively a witness. A witness of their love. She smiled tiredly while so many emotions were being brought back to the surface.
So many memories were hitting her, and one of those memories hit her harder. The nights that she stood reading with him on his bed. They'd lie on bed and he'd take a book from his nightstand's drawer and read for her for hours and hours. Sometimes until the morning comes.
She smiled remembering those days. Rory opened his nightstand's drawer and saw what seemed to be a notebook, but on the cover was written just a big "ME". She took the notebook carefully and opened it. When she saw Jess' handwriting all over it she realized that it's Jess' journal.
Rory got apprehensive about reading it since it's something personal and from the past. Maybe their past. But she's too curious and couldn't just ignore it. She closed the journal and opened it in a page in the middle. It was about their relationship, his feelings. It amazed her how easily he could express himself with words. She continued reading and started a paragraph that said:
"...
Everything is so blue and good
And calm as always
The eyes blinked suddenly
A dream
Things are like this
When you're in love
The mouths don't break apart
And a second has no end
A happy day sometimes is really rare
To talk about it is difficult, but I'll try
..."
She read it again. She had that feeling, that she'd already read it. She skipped numerous pages and read another paragraph.
"...
Our plans are what I miss most
When we looked together in the same direction
Where are you now besides here, inside me?
We did the right thing without knowing
It's just time that wasn't right
It will be difficult with out you
Because you're with me all time
And when I see the sea
There's something that tells me
That life goes on and give up is silly
Since you're not here anymore
What I can do is take care of myself
Remember that the plan was to be fine?
..."
And reading the last line of that page she remembered where she'd read it. In the book. In "This Girl". Her thoughts were a mess. What was that? Why? Jess? Was he the author of the book? She sighted. She knew the answer. Of course it's him.
A/N: Hey, I really hope you like it. Next chap will be tough to write so I'm not sure when I'll update but I think it'll be soon. About this two "parts of the journal": the first one is a part of a Jota Quest's song (it's a Brazilian band) called "Easy" ("Fácil" in Portuguese) and the Second part is a part of a Legião Urbana's song (Brazilian band too) called "Wind on the Coast" ("Vento no Litoral" in Portuguese). I really like this songs and I thought it would fit perfectly with what I wanted in this chap so I putted them in. Thank you so much for those who reviewed; you really are the reason of my happiness! And please keep reviewing, it'll probably make me update faster. (At least theoretically) Oh, and I'm sorry if things don't go exactly the way you want, but I'm trying my best. (This is for everyone, but specially to Alece)
