Thanks for the support. It's good to know I'm not completely clueless when
it comes to writing. So here is Chapter Two.
Disclaimer: As I said, I don't own Gilmore Girls but I wish I did. This is only to support the show and express my love for it. By sewing me, you will gain, the stick of gum mentioned in Chapter One and some lint I found in my pocket today. I know you want that lint, it's nice lint.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scene changes from Rory and her state of depression to a sunny beach in California. A young man looks out onto the water watching the waves roll in and out. The world seems to not exist as he has drifted into a state of numbness. He rethinks the events that have just occurred and plays them back in his head. What was he doing? Why was he here? An older gentleman, with the same facial features and dark eyes walks up and puts his hand on the younger man's right shoulder.
"What happened this morning? I woke up and you were already gone."
The young man sat for a moment, his mind still numb to the surrounding world. Lightening could strike the sand just a few feet from his face, and he probably wouldn't even notice.
"Hey, Jess! Hello! I'm talking to you."
Jess looked up now, slightly a little dazed. He wondered how long his father had been standing there. "Yeah?"
"I asked what happened to you this morning."
"Oh I woke up and went to a coffee shop. I needed to do something," Jess responded. He began to stand up so that he could face the man that he called, "Dad."
"So how did you sleep last night?"
"Okay I suppose. We need to talk about the dogs though?"
"You don't like them?"
"Not when I'm waking up face to rear."
"Well Jess, you came here. I didn't bring you here, so I am afraid you have to deal. Which leads me to my next question...."
Jess knew what was coming. He had been waiting for it ever since he arrived in Venice Beach.
".....why did you leave Stars Hollow?"
Jess shrugged. He really didn't feel like explaining his actions to someone of less intelligence than Dean, but it was his Father. Still, this man walked out on him the day he was born, could he really be that open with someone he hardly knew. It wasn't like Rory. Rory. He smiled slightly at the thought of her, and then frowned. She had to know he was gone by now, and if not, Jess was pretty sure Luke had told Lorelai.
"So you left a good home for no reason?"
"I guess. What does it matter? I can't go back."
"Well what do you intend to do then?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know. In forty-eight hours my life has been turned upside down. No correction, it's always been upside down."
"Then maybe you should try and make sense of what matters most to you Jess, and then work on making that great. Perhaps once you do that, other things will fall into place."
Jess knew it wasn't that simple. The older gentleman peered at his watch.
"I have to go to work. Try not to get into any trouble."
"Because that's what I am best at right? Getting into trouble?"
"I have no time for your childish antics. Jess, I have a job and if I don't leave now I will be late. I will see you later."
"Okay, fine."
As his father left, Jess turned back and looked at the water once more. He wondered what Rory was doing right now.
