There was no one in the diner except the three of them (and Caesar in the
back). It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "Jess-" she started.
"Rory, don't. Ok? I figured you wouldn't choose to be with me. I mean, all of Stars Hollow has made it perfectly clear that they don't think I'm good enough for you, and I know I'm not, but you always listen to everyone else, you don't have a mind of your own. Hopefully one day you will grow up and make your own decisions, but I won't be around to see it." He didn't even let her speak. He pushed past her, heading to the bus stop. Rory looked at Luke and then made up her mind to go after Jess. She was just in time to see him getting on the bus.
"Jess!!!" She yelled. "Jess, WAIT!!" He didn't even look back at her. "NOO! JESS, WAIT!!!" The bus began to drive off and she ran after it. She ran as fast and as long as she could until her legs gave out, all the while yelling his name and crying out for him to stay. She collapsed right as the bus left Stars Hollow. Jess couldn't hear anything because he had his head phones on, listening to music.
In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of trhuth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
Came to be, how it begun
All alone in the family of the sun Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out of the
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then ever comes
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Who we are
Ask forever Twisting
Turning
Through the never
Never

Lane, being the good friend that she was, had followed Rory the best she could. When she found her, she was laying in the road crying and completely exhausted. Lane sat down next to her friend and held her while she cried. "It's ok, Rory."
"No...he was right." She sniffed. "I've always wanted to be with him...and I would drag him along and lead him on and then I would remember that the town hated him....I was too worried about what other people thought about me...about him...about us. But I finally realized that I want to be with him, no matter what everyone else thinks.....but now it's too late." Lane let her cry for a few minutes and then realized something.
"It's not too late." Rory looked up at her. "You can go find Jess. That bus said it was bound for Manhattan....so...I mean, you've found him before, right?! You can do it again!"
"Lane, he was so mad at me. I don't think he would want me to find him."
"But at least you could talk to him and try and make him truly believe that you don't care what the rest of the town thinks! Rory I don't really like him, but he seems to make you happy...well except for this moment...but anyway, I really think you should go and try to find him. Apologize to him for leading him on and dragging him along...make things right with him at least. Come on, Rory." Rory wiped some of the tears away and looked at Lane.
"I'll.....I'll try."
"That's my girl." She hugged her friend and then helped her up off of the concrete. The two headed back to town and then Rory went to her house to pack for her trip to New York.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ok, now, you better come home if you don't find him within 2 days ok?"
"Ok, mom. I love you."
"I love you, too." Lorelai hugged her daughter. Rory looked around and didn't see Lane anywhere. She had promised she would come and see her off....
Just as Rory stepped on the bus a voice came yelling: "Rory!!" It was Lane. "Rory!!!"
"Lane! I thought you had forgotten....what's that?"
"Oh this?" Lane asked, pointing to a bag laying at her feet. "This is my overnight bag."
"What?"
"Do you honestly think I would let you do this alone? Besides my mother thinks I'm going to New York to a Bible Conference with you. It all works out." Rory hugged her best friend.
"Lane, you're the bestest friend a person could ask for!" The two girls hugged Lorelai and got onto the bus. They chose a seat close to the back to avoid people constantly walking by them and the cold breeze that came with the constant opening and closing of the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~NEW YORK~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2 HOURS LATER
"Rory, wake up, we're here." Rory sleepily opened her eyes and stood up. The two grabbed their bags and went in search of a hotel that was suitable. After 30 minutes of painful searching, they found one...it wasn't the nicest place they had ever stayed in but it was all they could really afford.
They practically collapsed onto their beds after they had finished getting ready for bed. As they were laying there, Lane just had to ask something. "Rory?"
"Hmm?" She answered sleepily.
"Are you awake?"
"If I were asleep would I be talking to you?"
"Guess not..."
"What do you want?"
"Oh right, I was going to ask you something."
"Ok go ahead."
"What do you see in Jess?" This question caught Rory's attention.
"I uhh...well...why do ask?"
"I dunno...I just always wondered. He just seemed like a jerk to me."
"I guess...because he's different with me. He doesn't act like a jerk around me. I don't know why he treats you and mom and Luke and the rest of the town the way he does...I guess there's just some reason I don't know of."
"Is that the only reason you like him? Because he's different with you?"
"No...he reads...not that many people in this town like to read as much as me, but he loves it. Probably more than I do....and then of course...he's not that bad to look at-"
"Now I will agree with you there." They both giggled and then decided they should probably go to sleep. They had a long day ahead of them.

A/N: There's the next chapter! Well I decided to take this one a little further...I know I said that this would most likely be the last chapter but I changed my mind! Lol! I hope you liked this chapter! Please review!
Song: Through the Never by Metallica- I just thought he would probably be listening to Metallica considering that they always mention Metallica in the show...of course he is older...but he's only 18...anyway that's why I chose this song.
"Rory, don't. Ok? I figured you wouldn't choose to be with me.
