Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the WB or Gilmore Girls, but I think
that it's gay that Jess won't be back!
Summary: What should have happened after Jess confessed to Rory!
Rory walked home, rethinking what had just happened. Jess loves her. He didn't say loved he said love. Maybe that was why he came back, he still loved her.
Rory opened the door and walked into the living room. Lorelai was laying on the couch, flipping through the very many channels they had.
"Wow, it's warm in here." Rory smiled as she walked into the living room and took off her jacket.
"Yeah, Luke came by and fixed it." Lorelai smiled.
"Yeah, I figured." Rory sat down on the couch and Lorelai sat up.
"So, where's Lane?" Rory asked, trying to think of the best time to mention Jess.
"I dunno, she was here but said she was going to band practice at 8, so." Lorelai shrugged off.
"Oh, good, good." Rory smiled and laughed nervously.
"What's up?" Lorelai asked in a baby voice.
"Nothings up, why do you assume something is up?" Rory practically jumped off the couch.
"Well, you're acting all nervous, you're jumping in your seat, and something tells me you are getting ready to run away from the circus." Lorelai said.
"Well, I'm fine." Rory reassured her. "So where did you get those earrings?" Rory asked, pointing to her ears.
"Liz made them for me." Lorelai smiled, touching her ear.
"Who's Liz?" Rory asked.
"Luke's sister, I told you she was in town. Jess's mom..." Lorelai said.
"Oh. Yeah now I remember. Jess's mom." Rory sighed.
"Did you run into Jess?" Lorelai smiled.
"Yes." Rory said sighed.
"Bad?" Lorelai guessed.
"No, just, shocking." Rory smiled to herself.
"Shocking? Like a smile kind of shocking?" Lorelai asked.
"If that makes sense." Rory laughed.
"Well, what happened?" Lorelai lowered her voice.
"Well, he saw me again and I said, I get to walk away this time and I ran and he chased me." Rory explained.
"When did you learn to run?" Lorelai asked, surprised.
"That's what he said. And I told him how I dreamt of a moment like this and he asked if we could sit down. And I said no, just tell me what you have to say to me." Rory breathed out.
"And...What did he say? Come on! I'm hooked, don't leave me hanging!" Lorelai whined.
Rory inhaled. "He said 'I love you' " Rory exhaled.
Lorelai's mouth dropped open in shock. "Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, out of all the things I thought he would say to me that was definitely at the bottom of my list." Rory said.
"Wow!" Lorelai said.
"Yeah."
"Do you love him?" Lorelai held her breathe.
"I told him I did." Rory said.
"When? Today?" Lorelai asked. She was so shocked of all the information that was given to her in a 5 minute period.
"No. Remember at my graduation, my phone kept ringing and they kept hanging up?" Lorelai nodded. "Well, that was Jess. And I kinda figured that, do I just started talking to him and telling how I felt. And I said I think I may have loved you, but I guess I should just let it go. And I hung up." Rory explained.
"Whoa! Wow! So much information has been registered into my brain in 5 minutes." Lorelai said, waving her hands in the hair.
"Sorry. I just figured, since we tell everything to each other." Rory apologized.
"Know, I wanted to know, I love gossip." Lorelai smiled. "But do you love him?"
"I don't really know right now. I'll get back to you. I think I just need some time to think." Rory sighed.
"Did he leave again?"
"I told him not to and that he would regret it and how I know he doesn't want to and he knows he doesn't want to. He said nobody wanted him here and I told him to rethink that and then I said I'll see you at Luke's in the morning." Rory smiled.
"Well, you seem to have a firm grasp on the situation." Lorelai smiled back.
"Yeah. But I think I need to sleep on it and just, get my mind through this." Rory sighed.
"Okay. G'night Rory." Lorelai kissed her forehead.
"Good night." Rory walked into her room and closed the door.
She missed being at home. She missed her decorated room and having her mom there all the time. Rory walked over to the closet to see the clothes she left behind. She looked at the bottom of the closet to see a box. She took it out and put it on her bed.
It was her Jess box. She made it the night before she went to Europe, but she forgot all about it. She opened it and pulled out the dress she wore at Sookie's wedding, the dress she first kissed Jess in. Then she picked up the ticket stub to the Distillers show he took her too. She smiled to herself and placed it back into the box. There were a bunch of other books in the box. She took the dress and hung it up in her closet. Then she put the ticket stub in her bag to bring back to Yale. She placed the books on her book shelve.
Rory felt different. She felt happier, just knowing that there was a chance that maybe Jess would stay in her life again. She smiled at the bookcase and got in her bed. Before she fell asleep she breathed out. "Jess."
