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!
Lorelai and Rory walk into Luke's the next morning. They walk in and sit at the counter. But Luke isn't there and the place is empty.
"Whoa, where is everyone?" Lorelai asked, looking around the diner.
"I don't know, maybe everyone is sleeping since a third of the town got drunk last night on punch." Rory shrugged.
"Yeah, but where's Luke?"
"I don't know." Rory said with a suspicious face.
"Luke?" Lorelai yelled towards the kitchen to see if he was in there. Sure enough, Luke walked out of the kitchen.
"What?" He asked.
"Oh, hi. We just didn't know where you were." Lorelai smiled.
"Oh, yeah." Luke sighed. "Did you know that Jess didn't leave?"
"Um, yeah, I did, why? Didn't you know?" Lorelai asked.
"Well, no, see, that would be the nice thing. I slept at Nicole's last night." Lorelai smiled that he called it 'Nicole's' and Luke saw it. "OUR place." Luke corrected himself. "And I come in the morning to see Jess lying in his old bed. I didn't wake him, but he came down this morning and left but I don't know if he left Stars Hollow."
Rory put on a face of disappointment. He couldn't of left, he can't stay one night and then leave. He had to be in Stars Hollow somewhere.
Rory looks out the window to see Jess sitting on a park bench, looking in the diner. She could see that he was smiling.
"Uh, I'll be right back." Rory said to Luke and Lorelai as she got up from her stool.
She opened the door to feel the cold air that she hated so much. She wrapped her jacket around her and slowly walked towards Jess. He stood up and put his hands in his pocket. She stopped when she was in front of him.
"Hey." Jess said.
"Hey." Rory breathed out.
Jess nodded and they stood there, very awkwardly.
"You didn't leave." Rory said, still trying to keep a serious face.
"I just, I just couldn't." Jess sighed.
"Because?" Rory questioned.
"You asked me not to." Jess said simply and smiled a little. Rory couldn't control herself and smiled back.
"Well, are you staying?" Rory asked.
"It depends. I mean, it's more complicated than just deciding to stay." Jess said in his usual low voice.
"Yeah. Um, can we sit down?" Rory laughed a little, remembering he asked her that the night before and she said no. Jess smiled a little, thinking the same thing. They both sat down next to each other on the bench.
There was an awkward silence. Rory was a little annoyed by the fact that she had to start the talking when he was the one who just decided to show up.
"So, how have you been?" Rory asked to break the silence.
"Fine." Jess simply says.
"Good, that's good. How's your dad?" Rory asked again.
"Fine."
"Okay, Jess, You come back here after a year and you just sit here, saying nothing. I can't do all the talking. You come back, tell me you love me, and stay because I asked you to. But can you at least do or say something?" Rory asked, starting to get angry.
"I meant it." Jess breathed out, staring at his hands.
"Me too." Rory did the same.
"What do you mean?" Jess asked.
"Well, remember the phone call?" Roy didn't want to say it.
"Oh, right." Jess said.
"So, what now?" Rory remembered saying that too, the night of the dance marathon.
"I don't know. Do you really want me to stay? Because I'm sure you would be the only one." Jess sighed.
"Yes, I do." Rory shifted uncomfortably.
"Okay." Jess said.
"Okay?" Rory asked, surprised.
"Well, I guess I could try to stay." Jess sighed.
"Well, how about so this isn't so awkward, we just take it slow. Just start on a clean slate. We can just talk and catch up and then think of moving to the next level..." Rory proposed.
"Okay."
"Wh- where are you gonna stay?" Rory asked.
"Well, until I can get some extra cash, I guess I could sneak into Luke's at night." Jess sighed.
"Okay." Rory swallowed.
"But I think there will be some difficulties. Like maybe the town hating me. Your mom getting ready to kill me. Luke trying to kill me and oh, yeah maybe Dean will find some pleasure out of this." Jess said.
"Dean got married." Rory smiled.
"Oh, jeez. I hope the girl is is enjoying her doormat." Jess laughed lightly.
Rory laughed. "Actually, she's the girl from Kyle's party."
"The Michelle Branch girl?" Jess asked, disgusted.
"Yeah!" Rory laughed. "Yeah, Kyle's party. Lane's band did great. That was an eventful night." Rory sighed, then remembering the ending to that night.
"Yeah, eventful night." Jess repeated.
"Yeah." Rory said quietly.
"I'm sorry about that night." Jess said in a lower voice and lowered his head.
"That's okay." Rory said in a lower voice. There was a silence again.
"You know I called you." Jess lifted his head.
"What?" Rory asked, a bit confused about what he was saying.
"When you walked out of the room that night, I said you didn't do anything, but you didn't hear me." Jess sighed.
"If I did, maybe things wouldn't have turned out as screwed up as they did." Rory said.
"Yeah. But it happened, whatever, let's talk about something else." Jess smiled slightly.
"Yeah, it wasn't a good night, or month." Rory said.
"I know." Jess sighed again for the millionth time that morning.
"Do you have to go back to Yale today?" Jess asked.
"Yeah." Rory breathed out.
"Okay." Jess said quietly.
They sat there on the bench, silent. Rory slowly rested her head on Jess's shoulder and Jess lightly slipped his arm around Rory's shoulder. They both smiled to themselves. They just sat there, enjoying the way they fit in each others body forms.
"You know you can visit anytime you want." Rory said.
"What?" Jess was confused at what he would be visiting.
"Yale. My Yale dorm." Rory exhaled.
"Okay, I will." Jess smiled and Rory smiled back.
Lorelai and Luke sat in the diner and watched the two love birds fall in love for the second time.
**Ok, any person who thinks Jess is out of character or too mushy, think about when he told her he loved her. That is just crazy because we all thought that Jess is too tough to say that to Rory. But fortunately we were wrong!! Reviews!!*
