Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. I simply borrow them at times ;)
A note: I started this story before Jess was coming back. So it will continue as if the stuff in the show didn't happen (unless like Jess happens to do something that would be good in the story - but I'll let you know if that happens).
Jess had been an official Yale custodian for three weeks. He had vaccumed, mopped, swept, scrubbed, and dusted for ten times longer than he had expected to over his entire life in just the first week with no progress. Well, sure, he had managed to clean plenty and his boss was happy with him, but he wasn't in it for the money. He was doing it just for the chance that he might get to see Rory. That once she saw him she would stay long enough for him to explain. Long enough for him to tell her the truth. But so far, Jess hadn't even seen a glimpse of something that even somewhat resembled Rory.
~*~*~*~*~*~
College life suited Rory. She was having fun, yet it was challenging. And she was learning and reading constantly, two things with which there was never a dull moment in her life. She saw her mother, Lane, and the rest of the Stars Hollow cast often enough to keep her happy. She was making friends. She was living what she had dreamt about for years.
Exiting the classroom after a ruthless debate over Shakespeare's many insane characters, Rory entered the wide Yale hallway. A janitor stood further down the hall, mopping the floor with a glowing yellow "Wet Floor" sign positioned next to him. Rory came closer to the janitor and had almost passed him when she pulled to a halt suddenly, having seen his face.
"Jess," she gasped, the name barely making a noise, yet she was close enough to him for him to hear.
His attention gathered by the sound of his name, Jess turned. He saw her. This was his chance. "Rory!"
But he had missed his opportunity. She had already fled halfway down the hall, tears erupting from her eyes.
