Rory's POV

I stepped out of the car, took a deep breath, and looked at my surroundings. Everything seemed so familiar, yet so different. I guess I thought that with Jess back, it would change who I was, or what I could be. Remembering my vow that I made, I knew it was going to be hard to stick to it. With everything that's happened, my mind just seems like a big jigsaw puzzle with the pieces thrown around. It would take a wise person to put it together.

I gathered what I had of my luggage and followed my mom to my dorm. I could already hear snippets of my roommate's conversation. It sounded like a fight of some sort. Great way to start off the year. Thinking that I was going to relax, I had brought some nice relaxing bubble bath for tonight. With mom here I would be even more relaxed, but I needed something calm and serine. Mom was having some trouble carrying her luggage which was only a couple of bags. So, being the nice girl I am I opened the door. My roommates stopped talking and looked at me.

Paris: Rory! (Runs up to Rory and hugs her)

Rory: (seems surprised) Hey Paris!

Paris: Lorelai how are you?

Lorelai: I'm great Paris. How about you? You okay?

Paris: Sure I am why wouldn't I be?

Lorelai: You just seem so happy.

Rory: Yeah. It's kind of creepy.

Paris: Rory. It's the beginning of a new school year. Time for new beginnings, and to make ourselves known again.

Paris was acting like she had three heads; I was kind of getting uncomfortable around her so I greeted my other suit mates.

Rory: Hey Tanya. What's new?

Tanya: (stares straight ahead)

Rory: Okay… Janet how are you?

Janet: Great Rory. I missed you. I just shed 3 minutes off my mile time.

Rory: Wow. That's great.

This was going to be a very long year. The day passed by very slowly with night on the way. Mom took all of us out for coffee and helped me unpack. She was doing her job well. Both of us new she had to leave tomorrow, but we didn't talk about it with each other. It was easier on both of us. That night I locked myself in the bathroom and was in the middle of a nice relaxing bubble bath. I felt like all my worries were left outside of the door, and for that I was extremely calm. I thought about all kinds of things. While I was doing this I heard a knock on the door, but didn't think anything of it.

(Meanwhile in the common room, Lorelai hears someone knocking at the door. She gets up to answer it and finds that it is Jess. She is about to close the door in his face when he stops her)

Lorelai: Jess.

Jess: Lorelai.

Lorelai: (silent just waiting for Jess to leave)

Jess: I came to see Rory.

Lorelai: Wow. You had me stumped.

Jess: (getting impatient) Come on Lorelai. Just let me see her.

Lorelai: No.

Jess: (gets a little louder) why?

Lorelai: Get real Jess. You left her heartbroken and shocked once again. What a surprise. You left her. Not once. But many times, Jess. What makes you think she wants to see you?

Jess: (sighs) I don't know if she wants to see me. I'm taking a chance.

Lorelai: Why?

Jess: I love her.

Lorelai: Jess. Just go.

Jess: No.

Lorelai: Fine. I'll shut the door.

Jess: Fine. I'm not leaving.

Lorelai: Fine. (Shuts the door)

I came out of the bath, with a bathrobe on just to notice mom. She had a scowl on her face and she didn't look happy. I had heard voices but I couldn't quite make out what the voices were saying. They didn't sound happy though. Making my way over to mom, I started to speak.

Rory: Hey. Who was at the door?

Lorelai: Uh. Stupid pizza delivery guy, I said dude I didn't order any pizza. He said but yes you did. He had this accent and he was annoying me. I said I didn't order a pizza and I got irritated and slammed the door.

Rory: (not buying it) Oh.

(Outside the door was Jess. He heard Rory's voice. He closed his eyes and pictured Rory. He thought how amazing it would be to see her again. So he did what he had to.)

Jess: Rory!!!

I was sitting on the couch talking with mom when I heard a voice shout my name. I knew it was Jess. It had to be.

Rory: Oh no. (sighing) Was that the pizza delivery guy?

Lorelai: Oh yeah. I told you he was annoying.

Jess: Rory!! Open up.

Rory: Uh sorry but….I'm studying!!!

Jess: Come on. Just for a second.

Lorelai: She said no Jess. Go away!

Knowing that Jess had given up I heard him slowly walking away. I had no clue of what to do. Being the kind of person that I am, I decided I had to speak with him sooner or later. Tomorrow. Yeah. Tomorrow.
