Rory finished up her week and still had one more final for the next week.
After that she would be done and out for the summer. She could go home and
live with her mom again. She was also excited; her moms date with Luke was
tonight. Dean never called her that week and she was beginning to worry.
She hoped nothing had happened between him and Lindsay. Their conversation
made her think about a lot of things. Her and Dean's relationship for
example, but more about her and Jess's relationship. Did she still like
him? Did she want Dean back? She concluded after making a pro and con list
(surprise surprise) that she still loved Jess (surprise surprise again).
On her way home from Yale she saw again a man with dark hair and a leather jacket. She wanted to stop and talk but she didn't know if she would be able to handle stopping and talking to Jess just yet. Either way she decided to stop.
R: Jess! Wait.
He turned around and as soon as he realized that it was Rory he turned back around and kept walking. Rory stopped her car and ran to catch up with him.
R: Jess please!
J: What do you want?
R: I need to talk to you.
J: I already tried that and we both know how well that went.
R: I'm sorry but I didn't know what to say. It was really random and sudden.
J: Random and sudden? I had been in town for days! You didn't expect me to talk to you?
R: Jess I'm sorry! I just didn't know what to do.
J: Do you have a better idea now?
R: No I honestly I don't.
J: Well then why are you making such an attempt to talk to me?
R: I thought I knew but I don't know if I do anymore or not.
J: Well then just leave me alone.
Rory didn't know what to do. This was nothing like her dream. In the dream Jess wanted to talk to her and it ended well. Today Jess didn't want to talk to her and it doesn't seem like it will end well. She was running out of things to say and only could think of one thing.
J: So do you have anything to say?
R: I love you!
J: What!
He drops his backpack from shock and things go falling out everywhere. He quickly picks them up.
R: Jess we cant go on with this. One of us says "I love you" then we don't talk for months. Then when we finally do talk the other says it. Then we stop talking then we do it again. I don't like this pattern.
J: Rory I need go.
R: Jess!
Jess left and Rory was still standing there beginning to cry. She realized it was similar to her dream. Only this time Jess wasn't coming back to comfort her. She began to walk back to her car when she noticed something. It was something that had fallen out of Jess's bag. She picked it up and noticed it was a workbook looking thing. It was titled "How to Love- Workbook 1A" She opened it and began to read it while sitting in her car.
R: (to herself) Question, Write the name of the person you think you are in love with. Answer, "Rory." Rory??
She was confused by this but it made her want to continue reading.
R: Question, Write why you love this person. Answer, "she is the only person who can get me to open up and talk. She did so much good in my life. I messed up and want her back. I will do whatever it takes to have her back as mine."
Rory was now even more confused. This didn't sound like Jess. It was sweet, from the heart. She knew Jess could be like this but she was surprised that he would write it in a workbook. However she was now more encouraged to read. She thought it may be wrong, but still wanted to know. She continued Reading.
R: No question open writing. "I love her but I can't bring myself to tell her. After I left I realized that it was the stupidest thing that I had ever done. I loved her. When I called her I wanted to tell her where I was and what was going on. She answered her phone and I just froze. I didn't know what to say. When I finally came back I found the courage to tell her what I had wanted to say. When I finally said it I think I caught her off guard and she didn't know what to say back. I don't know if she felt the same still or if she wanted me gone. I hope she didn't want me gone. I still want her in my life but I don't know if she feels the same. I hope she does. That night at the party I messed up really badly. I regret everything that I did to her. The fight with Dean and then in the guys room and then leaving. Why am I so stupid sometimes? I wish it could be like in some of the books I have read. Perfect"
Rory didn't know what to even think. If he could speak to her as well as he wrote they would be in great shape. She still couldn't figure out why he was using this book but thought it was good that she found it. She wasn't sure how she wanted to return it though. She knew that they needed to talk though. She put the book aside for now and continued her drive home.
When she got home she realized that he mom wasn't home yet so she got out her cell phone to check her messages. She pushed a wrong button and it began dialing Jess's phone.
R: NO! NO! Stupid phone!
She realized that maybe it was like destiny. She didn't really believe in destiny but she figured maybe it did exist. It was ringing.
J: Hey th...
R: JESS!
J: is Jess. Leave a message and I'll call you back.
R: Hey Jess it's me again. I think we need to talk. Ummm and even if not talk, you forgot something when you dropped you backpack today and I would like to return it. Ummm call me back. Bye
