Summary: It's Rory's Sophomore year at Yale. What happens when Jess shows up in Star's Hollow unexpected? Again?
My freshman year at Yale ended with ease. The summer brought along first dates with guys I couldn't stand, and movie nights with mom. Summer was over and I was going to start beginning my second year at Yale. I almost couldn't believe it. Right before my eyes, a year went by and the only big event I could remember was Jess coming back. It has always been at the back of my mind, haunting me. Those three words that he spoke so softly in my face, his body walking away from me, driving away. By the time I reacted he was gone. I thought he would come back, sometime. But he never did. Sometimes before I went to bed, I kept on playing it back in my head, over and over. Thinking what it would be like to say the same thing to his face. That time never came for me. When I told mom she seemed overwhelmed and walked away . I know she told Luke, and they would talk about it with each other, but not with me. Thinking that it was wrong to tell her, I vowed that if Jess ever did come back, I would not get back together with him. I would just avoid him. It would be easier with everyone if I didn't get involved. Thankfully, I never got that chance. It never happened.
I was currently at home in Star's Hollow with my mom. She was helping me pack for Yale. I left the next morning, and this was my last night here with my mom. It seems like just yesterday when I came home and told her I couldn't wait to spend the summer with her. If it's possible, I felt like we have gotten closer. Having some much fun with her, made me feel happy. Now that I was leaving, I felt nervous. Like I was just starting college again. On the bright side, I still had the same roommates. On the downside, I haven't seen them all summer. Who knows what they've been up too. Packing was so sentimental for us. It symbolized someone leaving, even though it was for a day or too. My mom was the worst packer in the world. She hardly ever folded the clothes, making them leave a hump of clothes in the middle.
Rory: Mom, you call this packing?
Lorelai: (looks at the heap of clothes in the middle of the suitcase) Yeah. Make's it easier. Get's it done faster.
Rory: It may get it done faster, but what happens when I have to actually close the suitcase?
Lorelai: Well... you sit on it.
Rory: (chuckles) Let's just fold the clothes ok?
I know the reason mom wanted to get it done faster. She wanted to get it over with. It wasn't easy, especially with us. When we finally did finish packing, we headed to bed. I had a long day ahead of me. A day I wish I couldn't remember.
