Rating: PG-13, I don't know, I'm just guessing.
Disclaimer: It isn't mine. So you can't sue me, or kill me or blame me for its awfulness. Well I guess the awfulness part you can... just go easy on me.
Summary: What if Jess couldn't go to California, what if there was something holding him back... but now in CHAPTER 11 he is, and Rory's coming with.
Author's Note: Ok, this might seem like a lame excuse, but I felt like I had nothing coming. I was so uninspired. That's y I took so long. I don't wanna do this, but if I don't start getting more helpful reviews I might start to take longer to write chapters and eventually stop the story because I'll b fresh out of em. I've got an over all idea, but I wanna hear what u guys want so place review. Its not that hard. I hope u like this chapter and keep in mind that I'm graduating soon and I'm really busy, so sorry.
Dedication: michelle22, those reallys must have taken effort. I'm so glad that u like it
Chapter 11: Later Will Appreciate This
"Hey, mom," Rory started. She wasn't sure if Lorelai would be too happy with her going all the way across the country with Jess, but she had to go. Her mother could understand that, couldn't she?
"Yeah, babe?"
"Um, well," Lorelai looked at her with that "I know that I'm not going to like what you are going to tell me but I'll hear you out anyway" look. "Well, since it's summer and I really don't have very much time during the school year to go places... well I thought that maybe I could go somewhere for about a week, maybe."
"What kind of trip is this, Rory?" Lorelai asked, though she really could already guess.
"Well, I really want to go with Jess to California, and he wouldn't be going, except that his dad was in an accident and he needs to make up with Jess before he, well you know. And he really needs to go, and well, when Yale starts, I will hardly ever see him and I think that this would be really good for both of us. He needs the support and I really can't loose him again."
"Well, I mean..."
"Please, mom?"
"Well..." The famous puppy dog pout glazed Rory's face, "Just call twice a day, okay?" "Oh my gosh, thank you mom!"
"And stay safe, okay?"
"I promise. Thank you so much mom!"
"Call when you get there, okay?"
"For sure."
"I love you."
"Love you too, Mom. Have to pack."
"Okay." Lorelai sadly watched her daughter disappear into her room.
Rory dialed the familiar number.
"Ugh." A scratchy voice murmured.
"Hey, Luke, it's Rory."
"Oh, hey, Rory, here he is."
"Hey, Ror."
"Hey, I'm all packed. What's the plan?"
"Well, I've got something, but I don't know if you want me to wait for something better."
"What?"
"Well, I couldn't get train tickets until Wednesday, but that would get us there too late. So I got us some bus tickets that leave tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock and that goes to Missouri and then we'd have to stay in a motel or something until the next morning. Because there is one leaving there at 9:30 which could get us to Venice Beach by Monday evening. But if you don't want to do that, then I'm sure I could find something else."
"That sounds fine, great in fact. Should I meet you in the diner around 7?"
"Yeah, sure sounds great. Be sure to pack some lighter clothes, and I guess a bathing suit or two, you know it gets pretty hot over there this time of year."
"Yeah, sure, Dad."
"Shut up, I'll see you in the diner around 7, okay?"
"Yeah, good night, I love you."
"Love you too."
"Bye bye."
"Bye."
As Rory hung up she smiled to herself. She couldn't be happier. She was spending a week or so alone with Jess and there were endless possibilities of what could happen. She wanted to meet his dad too, even if he wouldn't be around for very long. The bottom line was, she knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, she had too much to think about.
Directly upstairs from the younger of the Gilmore girls, was a less cheery one. Lorelai knew that there wasn't too much to worry about. She trusted Rory, but something she had said made her feel rotten inside. She repeated it to herself in her head, "and well, when Yale starts, I will hardly ever see him and I think that this would be really good." She understood that, but then it hit her: she wouldn't be seeing much of Rory in the fall either. Was Rory choosing Jess over her? She knew that that would never happen, but still, she wondered if Rory had meant anything by that. She would be lying if she said she weren't feeling uneasy about this trip, but what could she do? Nothing. And she pretty much trusted that she didn't need to.
At 6:57 am, Rory walked into the diner with a duffel bag filled to the brim with clothes and a couple books. Jess's, which sat on the counter, looked a little lighter.
"Hey, you ready?" Jess asked.
"Starving, but aside from that, I'm good to go."
"Well, what can I get you then?"
"Um... pancakes and bacon, coffee too of course."
"Sounds good, you want to bring burgers and fries to go?"
"Oh, yeah sounds good to me."
"Coming right up then." Jess smirked as he ripped of the sheet and clipped it to the kitchen window. He came back a few minutes later with a mug of coffee and a tall silver thermos.
"For you, and for later."
"Oooooo yummy, later will appreciate this!"
"Tell later it's welcome."
After the two ate, they stuffed the thermos and Styrofoam boxes into Jess's bag, seeing as Rory's had no room. Jess ran upstairs to grab the tickets and the money he had been saving, plus the small donation that Luke had chipped in with. The said goodbye to Luke (Rory had already had a long goodbye with Lorelai) and then headed over to the bus stop. They sat on the bench and each took out a book.
"This is going to be fun isn't it?" Rory said as she leaned her head on Jess's shoulder.
"Yea, another adventure to put on the list."
"I'm excited."
"Me too," Jess whispers as he planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
