You're A God

Chapter 2: The Reply



(Rory's Bedroom 6pm)

Rory is awoken by Lorelai, who is calling her name from the living room. Rory quickly gets up and hides the tearstained letter that was in her hands. She walks to the living room where Lorelai is sitting on the couch.

Hey hun, did you have a good time with Lane? Lorelai asked.

Yeah, we just hung out for a couple of hours. Rory replied, hoping her mom wouldn't notice that her eyes were still a bit red from crying.

Cool, so I thought we could go to Luke's for dinner.

Okay, cool.

Alright, let's go.

(Cut to Town Center)

Lorelai and Rory are nearing Luke's. Lorelai is talking about how can never find matching socks, and Rory is obviously not listening. They enter Luke's and sit down at the counter.

....God, I hate when that happens. Does that ever happen to you? Lorelai asks thinking that Rory was listening.

Rory doesn't reply.





Were you paying attention to anything I said?

Oh, yeah.

Lorelai glares.

Uh, I mean....no. Sorry.

It's okay. So what's on your mi-

Lorelai, dear, I need your opinion on my newest dance routine for one my dance classes. Miss Patty interupted.

Um, okay.

Alright, so the girls start out in four lines....

Rory snuck away to the other end of the counter, where no one is sitting. She motions for Luke to come over to her.

What's up, Rory?

Well, I got this letter from Jess, and I was wondering if you new anything about that? Rory asked hopefully.

Uh, no, sorry. Luke said lying the best he could.

Oh, okay, Her voice sounding uncertain, Do you have his phone number or anything?

Uh, yeah.

He grabbed a piece of paper scribbled a number down and handed it to her.



Thanks, and mom and i will both have coffee, cheeseburgers, and fries.

Coming right up.



Rory slipped the piece of paper into her pocket and walked back over to mom.

....and then they all slide into the splits. Miss Patty completed cheerfully.

Sounds great, but can they all do splits? Lorelai replied.

Oh! Good point, doll. Thanks for listening. Miss Patty walked away.

Lorelai turned to Rory.

So, what were you talking to Luke about? She asked.

Nothing, just ordering the food.

Lorelai could tell something was up.

Luke brought over their coffee. Lorelai looked at Rory, who just sipped her coffee.

(Cut to Gilmore Residence-Afternoon)

It had been two days since Rory got Jess's phone number. She was sitting on her bed staring at the phone. Lorelai wasn't home. Rory picked up the phone and dialed. After a couple rings there was an answer.

Jess answered.

Jess, it's me.

There was no answer.

Hello? Jess?'

I'm here. I'm just surprised you called.

I got your letter.

No answer.

I don't agree with it.

No answer.

I love you, and I wouldn't forget you or dump you.



Jess please, I miss you. I know I said we were over, but I can't let that happen. I want you here with me, now.

What do you want me to do?

Jess, do you love me?

Rory, I-



Yes! Of course I love you!

Well then you should know what to do. And with that Rory hung up.

(Music begins to play in backround.)

********
I used to get away with so much
Now I can't get away
I even thought that it was simple
To say the things I wanted to say'

Jess hangs up, thinks for a second, and heads to his room.

********
I'm finding my way back to you
And everything I used to be
And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me

Rory grabs a book(). And heads to the bridge.

********
And you told me
Everything I wanted to hear
And you sold me
Now I don't know how I should feel'

Jess packs his bags and heads for the door after leaving a note.

Jimmy and Sasha-

I had leave, but thanks for letting me stay here.

Jess'

And I'm finding my way back to you
And everything I used to be'

********

Rory sits down and begins to read.

And waiting is all that I can do
Until you find your way back to me
Until you find your way back to me
Oh until you find your way back to me'

********

Jess walks into the airport.

And I'm finding my way back to you
And everything I used to be'

So? What did you think? Review! Review! Oh, the song was Find Your Way Back by Michelle Branch. (I kind of edited the lyrics together a bit, to fit the scene)
