Jess's Girl

Usual Disclaimers Apply

AN: Hey sorry it's been so long...I know the last chapter wasn't the best of chapters and that Jess wouldn't do that to Rory...Sorry...this is total AU so
you know...this chapter really happened to me....so this might be a little
better than the last.

::::

Lorelei woke up that morning at 7:00 Am, she had woke up early for a good reason...when Rory had ask Tristan to stay with her he ended up staying the night, that wasn't why she woke up so early though...she woke up early cause
she needed to talk to Tristan.

As she snuck down the stairs, she heard the rain start coming down, when it hit the roof Lorelei jumped, she started to fall but caught herself on the rail.

"Thanks Tony!"

She said and patted the stair rail.

Lorelei finally got to Rory's bedroom and creaked open the door, she smiled as she watched Tristan's eyes open, he leaned over and kissed Rory on the cheek then got out of bed and started walking to the door. Lorelei waited until he got close to the door then she opened it up all the way making Tristan jump. Lorelei leaned in, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him out of the bedroom.

"We need to talk"

Was all she said.

"But I have to get home."

"Just come take a walk with me..."

Tristan arched his eyebrow.

"In the rain?"

"Yes in the rain it's not like you'll melt."

Lorelei said as she grabbed her raincoat.

"But I really need to go home..."

Lorelei turned to him.

"And you can...after you come walk with me..."

Tristan sighed, grabbed his coat off the rack, and walked outside behind
Lorelei.

Lorelei looked at Tristan as they started walking.

"You love her don't you?"

Tristan just looked down.

"Yea...I mean she's my best friend..."

Lorelei laughed

"I'm not stupid Tristan...."

Tristan looked back up at her.

"Yea...I do..."

"Ha! I knew it"

Lorelei smiled.

"Yea... things are going great and I'm about to lose it all...."

Lorelei looked confused.

"What are you talking about Tristan?"

Tristan looked down then back at Lorelei.

"Well when I went over to Jess's house last night I had to talk to him
about something but instead I found him with another girl."

"I know...I heard. I spied last night..."

"Right....Well last night what I wanted to talk to him about was....I'm
moving..."

Lorelei's eye's got big.

"Oh my gosh.....why?"

"Well, my father's business partner's wife is being transferred to Texas.
So in order to stay in business we have to move..."

Lorelei stood there in shock.

"Well shouldn't you tell Rory?"

Tristan looked up at her.

"Oh no...I don't want to tell her she's been through enough....but don't worry
I'll figure something out..."

"When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow....our flight leaves at 1:00."

"So you really do have to go huh?"

Tristan nodded.

"Isn't it ironic how it always seems to rain when something bad happens?"

Tristan smirked and nodded.

"Yea it is."

Lorelei looked at him.

"You've been around us so much it's gonna be weird..."

"Yea I know."

"Well I'm gonna miss ya."

Lorelei said and patted him on the shoulder. But he pulled her into a hug.

He turned and walked to his car and got in.

"See ya later kid."

Lorelei smiled and waved.

He smiled and drove off.

Yet even though she said that....she knew it would never happen.

(Later)

When Rory woke up, she got dressed, grabbed Jess's things he gave her and
walked out.

(Luke's Diner)

When Rory walked in, she didn't see Jess. And when she finally found Luke,
he looked like he was upset.

"What's wrong Luke? Where's Jess?"

Luke sighed at the sound of Jess's name.

"Well I was hoping you knew..."

Luke said as he picked up plates from the corner table.

"What do you mean?"

Luke sighed again and stopped behind the counter looking at Rory.

"He's gone Rory..."

Rory stood there in shock.

"What?"

"He's gone....picked up and left in the middle of the night....but I bet you
know why."

Rory nodded.

"Well I would sorta like to know him being my nephew and all."

This time Rory sighed.

"Last night, Tristan kinda walked in on him with another girl...I guess Jess
just didn't want to face me with it."

Luke grunted.

"Hmm....I still wish I knew where he was though....But I did bring his stuff
back...maybe he'll come back for that..."

As Rory said that Luke smiled.

"Yea...you think that."

Rory handed Luke the box of stuff and Luke put it behind the counter.

(Gilmore Home)

Rory walked in the door and saw Lorelei soaking wet at the counter, Rory
took off her raincoat and put it on the coat rack.

"Hey mom..."

Lorelei looked up and gave her a sad smile.

"Hey sweets..."

"Oh no...who died."

Lorelei laughed.

"Oh...hun no it's not like that...just thinkin.."

Rory nodded.

"Good thinkin or shitty thinkin?"

"Shitty thinkin."

"About what?"

Lorelei looked up and said one word.

"Men."

(That night)

"Mom come on, I got all the food ready! And if you don't get down here in
five seconds I'll turn on the movie without you....one, two, three...."

Lorelei cut off Rory by running down the stairs.

"I'm coming child I'm coming!"

Rory laughed.

"I swear you're satins child."

Rory grinned.

"Ah...so what does that make you?"

"What you mean?"

"Well..if I'm satins child then you are satin."

"Ah to shay!"

Rory laughed and put in the video

"Oh I love this movie!"

Rory yelled as the titles came over the screen.

"Yea, I think 50 First Dates is one of the funniest date movies ever"

Lorelei nodded.

(2 Hours Later)

Lorelei and Rory had somehow gotten on the subject of men...as girls always
do... Lorelei decided it would be fun to describe the perfect guy.

"Well, he's funny, handsome...has nice hair...like kids of course...nice eyes...and
a nice ass...not afraid to be himself. Oh and has to be able to cook...and make coffee, he has to have nice conversation...steady job...but he HAS to have
a nice ass...did I say that already?"

Rory laughed.

"What? That's my dream guy! What's so funny?!"

"Your....your dream guy is....your dream guy is LUKE!"

Lorelei's eyes got big

"IS not!"

"IS too!"

Lorelei glared.

"Hmmm...well maybe....But anyway, I know someone who has an secret admirer..."

"What? Who?"

"Ah child your tired go to bed.."

Lorelei got up and walked to her room leaving Rory to ponder over what she
said.

(Next Day)

Rory woke up at 11:30 and saw Lorelei sitting at the end of her bed.

"Mom...what are you doing here?"

She saw Lorelei's sad expression.

"Tristan told me to give you this."

Lorelei handed Rory an envelope and walked out.

Rory was stilled confused over why her mom had such a sad expression on her
face.

Rory slowly opened up the envelope and pulled out the paper.

"Dear Rory,

By the time you get this it will probably be too late...but don't worry...I want it to be that way, if you don't under stand what I'm saying here it is. I won't be here anymore Rory, I'm moving...and there's nothing I can do about it. My dad's partners wife has been transferred so they moved and in order to keep the business we have to move also....I don't want to tell you where I am going because I don't want there to be any chance that you come after me, especially after what I'm about to tell you..

Rory Gilmore...I love you....and I'm sorry to tell you like this but it was the only way I could think of doing it. Ever since I saw you walk through the door's of Chilton I have loved you...Jess didn't deserve you, I did...and I wanted you too be mine more than you know...you see this is why it all changed....this is why I didn't want to be around you, because it hurt being near you. But even though you know this now I want you to forget everything...move on...don't think about me...make another box like you did when you and Jess first broke up, but this time make sure Lorelei burns it...all of it. Because I realized the only way you can be happy is without me, and even though it hurts me this much to give up on us, I'll do it for you...because I love you that much...I hope you have a good senior year...make sure Paris doesn't blow a gasket or anything too much....I love you....

Forever Yours,

Tristan Dugrey."

Tears spilled from Rory's eyes and her hands shook. She dropped the letter
and looked around...she had to catch his flight.

She got up, got dress and ran out the door to see her mom sitting at the
table. Before she could even get words out of her mouth, Lorelei spoke.

"His plane leaves at 1:00...It's now 11:40...you might be able to get there in
time...he's at terminal A26."

Rory grabbed the jeep keys and ran out the door.

(Airport)

Rory finally got to the airport at 12:30 she had went at least 20 miles over the speed limit the whole way there and by the time she got inside it was 12:50. She searched franticly for Terminal A26 and when she found it...it was too late, she saw the back of his blond head walking into the gate, she
screamed his name but he didn't hear her.

She ran over to the gate just as the door closed, she tried to push past
the people but they blocked her path...she sighed...it was no use.

Rory turned and walked over to the window and watched as the plane started
to take off.

::: I've been searchin' deep down in my soul;

words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old,

it feels like I'm starting all over again,

The last three years were just pretend,

and I said...

Goodbye to you,

goodbye to everything that I knew,

You were the one I loved,

the one thing that I tried to hold onto.:::

As Rory cried, she realized that every time he looked at her the feeling she couldn't read in his eyes must have been hurt....oh god how could she
not see it? He loved her, she loved him it was a never-ending cycle of
secrets that are so far gone she could never bring them back.

"Goodbye Tristan.....I love you..."

Was all Rory said as she watched the plane fly away....she didn't even get to
kiss him goodbye....

Then she thought of his cell phone, she had his number. She pulled out her cell and dialed his number but the voice of the phone operator told her his phone has been disconnected.

(Gilmore Home)

As soon as Lorelei saw Rory get out the jeep she knew that she didn't get
there in time...A few tear slipped from Lorelei's eyes as she pulled her
daughter into her arms.

"You'll be okay, it's gonna be okay."

Rory pulled away and looked at her mom.

"And the sad thing is the whole time...I loved him too..."

(The End)

An: I decided to go with how it really ended between me and the two
guys....if you want a sequel I'll make one...just please review...
