A/N: Ladida. I'm bored. And tired. I have to go to church later. Bah. Anyways, read on.

Disclaimer: Come on now, does anyone really thing I could OWN Gilmore Girls? That's what I thought.

Jess shook his head, he couldn't stay. Not here, she knew that. She had to. He looked to her, she looked just as lost as he did. Why did it have to be this way? Why couldn't they get over what was going on between them, and do what they both wanted to? To be together, that was it. When would they learn?

"I know you can't stay here." A sigh escaped from Jess, she could always read his mind.

"That's why we have to leave. Rory, please. I can't, I cannot stay here. I don't belong here."

"But I do!"

He nodded. She did belong here, she belonged here, with some Yalie, having a perfect life. With someone else. Not him. Not Jess. Not now?

"Can you wait for me?"

What kind of question was that? Rory's mind was reeling. Could she wait for him? "Jess, I..."

In truth, she had been waiting for him already. She waited for him every time he left. Every single time, she waited. There was always just this... thing. What if he came back? What would happen if he came back and she had moved on? She didn't want that. What she wanted, was for this to last. Even now, even after everything that had happened, she still had to wait for him.

"Okay."
