Ch. 2

Rory woke up the next morning feeling more tired than she did when she fell asleep the night before. It had taken her forever to fall asleep and when she did, she had tossed and turned all night with dreams of Jess haunting her. She got out of bed, now, and went into the little kitchen of her apartment to make some coffee. While she waited for it to finish, she went into the bathroom and washed her face.

"God, you look like crap today," she muttered to herself. "You've got to get over him! You'll never see him again in your life anyways." She glanced in the mirror one more time and then went to get dressed. She put on one of her uncomfortable skirt suits but then decided to change into a pant suit because today she really needed to be comfortable. After this, she sauntered back into the kitchen, feeling especially depressed. She got a cup of coffee and a donut and sat down at the table. Her mind went back to Jess, even though she told it not to.

"Ahh!" she screamed. "What is wrong with me? It's been five years, FIVE YEARS! Geez Ror, just get over him already. Ugh, I need something to distract me."

She picked her recently purchased book up off the table and continued to read it. It was by a guy named J.D. Oliver and it sounded like a great book. It had gotten wonderful reviews so Rory had bought it and decided to give it a try. It was about this guy who was really messed up and getting into trouble all the time. He did drugs, got in trouble, was just altogether a bad kid. Then he meets this girl, though, and starts to shape up 'cause he wants her. So he gets the girl but then awhile after they are going out, he decides he's not good enough for her and he leaves her. Rory was on the last chapter of the book now. She read through it quickly as she ate her breakfast. She was amazed at how great, yet kind of sad, the ending was.

The last chapter of the book was almost like an author's not. It explained how this was the true story of a guy the author knew and how really there was no ending to the story. The real life guy had never gotten his girl, so J.D. didn't think it would do the story justice if he made up his own ending to it. J.D. still had hope for his friend, though. Rory loved this ending because it let her imagination go to work.

Rory looked up and glanced at the clock. "Shit!" burst out of her mouth. She was going to be late for work if she didn't hurry. She grabbed her purse and threw her book in t as she threw on her shoes. She hurried out of the door, almost forgetting to lock it. She pushed the button for the elevator and waited impatiently for it. Finally, it got to her floor. The doors opened and John, the bellboy (A/N: Is that the right word?) greeted her.

"Hey, Ms. Gilmore. How's it going today?"

"Not so great John. I woke up feeling horrible and then I got all into the book I was reading and now I might be late to work."

"That's tough. What book were you reading?"

"Meant to Be... Well, Hopefully by J.D. Oliver. It was really awesome. Have you read it?"

"No, but I heard it was great. Ya know, the author just moved into this building, but J.D. Oliver is a pen name."

"Really, what's his real name?"

"I can't remember, Ms. Gilmore, but we're to the ground floor so you should probably go. I don't want you to be late to work on account of me."

"Yeah, I need to hurry. But, hey John, could you try to find his name for me? I'd really like to meet him."

"Sure Ms. Gilmore, I'll try."

"Thanks John. You're great. See ya."

"No problem. Bye."

Just as Rory walked out the doors and into the world, a man got onto the elevator from the lobby. It was none other than J.D. Oliver himself.

"Hi, sir," greeted John, "I have a small question for you."

"Sure John," replied J.D., "What is it?"

"Well, excuse me, but I forgot what you had said your name was. You know, your real name."

"Oh, that's ok. Don't tell too many people what it is though, it'll ruin the mystery," J.D. smirked.

"Yes, sir," John replied, laughing.

"I'm Jess Mariano."
