--**Returning The Favor**--
Dearest Rory -
Now, let's get this out of the way. I'm sorry. If I sound insensitive, I'm sorry. If I made you fall in love with me, I'm sorry. If I made you hate me, I'm sorry. If I made you miss me, Rory, I'm sorry. I'm the dumbest guy alive, but I had to know. To know what it'd be like to have a dad, to share a game of catch, to talk about the girl down the street, to feel fatherly love from someone other than a diner owner. I did learn that, Rory, and I learnt something else too. Don't trust the guy who walked out of your family. Because two nights ago, at three a.m. I walked in my father's room to find everything gone. The bed was stripped and the closet was bare, because a son wasn't what Jimmy Mariano wanted. A life was what Jimmy Mariano wanted. That's what he's got now, his son's on a bus. He's free, but I'm sorry to say, Rory, you're not.
I'm coming home. Home is your home. My temporary home. I realize I'm a jackass, and I realize that I'm the last person you want to see, but I'm being selfish and I need to see you. You're the thing that made me great at some point. One point. You're a beautiful person and I think I need something to remind me that things aren't always as screwed up as they're meant to be.
As I write this, I sit in the back corner of a bus. My bag under my feet, my head against the seat. I'm telling you this because I want you to picture me. Before I step in and disturb your life. This may not prepare you, because I do not plan on sending this letter. I just need to feel better about myself for a minute, please, bare with me. I need to apologize and get my feelings out in the open. It makes me feel like an actual human being. That's rare. You probably remember me being as easy to read as a Tolstoy classic. You know I love it.
I'll say goodbye for now, and hope to see you in the future. The near future, because as I say a quick goodbye I see the Welcome to Stars Hollow sign. This town is too cheery, but deep down ... I know that the cheeriness will fade once I step back in town.
Sincerely -
Jess
[Right after this chapter -- which hopefully will be updated soon -- the story will be set in a normal story format. Letters will featured again, but not as often as normal chapters. Hope you enjoyed this one, however! This is setting the ground work for the story I have to come. Please review! Will be mucho appreciated. All right, I'll leave you alone now.
And now I will go! Review!
