Hey everyone! Ok, a little late here, but I'm trying to post as fast as I can! Thanks for your patience! I'm trying to make my chapters longer and this one is kind of short, but it looks long when you write it on paper and it's three pages long...Heehee.

Thanks to all the reviewers, you make this story possible!

Chapter 2

XxX

Was it Dean? No, it couldn't be him. He was off planning the wedding with Lindsay. Rory heard rustling in the trees, a warning that the person was going to walk in any second. Rory's confident and strong speech voice was weakened as nervousness swept over her. Was it Ms. Patty? Babbette? Grandma's maid bringing her tea?Why should I be so nervous? There are tons of kids graduating. It could be someone coming in late to watch someone graduate. She relaxed a little, but couldn't for long because the person walked in.

It's him. He came. He came. Rory calmed down just long enough to finish her speech, then sat down next to Paris, sweating.

Dang. She saw me. Jess slid far down in his seat, trying to make himself invisible. She wasn't supposed to see me. She was supposed to NOT see me, then see me AFTER the graduation, when I surprise her. Well, what can I do now? Maybe I'll just hide in the back of the school and then she'll leave and forget about me and I'll go back home. Where was I going to stay here anyways? Luke's? I don't know…Oh, look, Rory's graduating. She looks happy. I need to leave; I'll just ruin her life again…but I love her! I'll do better. I'll treat her better than any other boyfriend would! Oh my gosh, the graduation's over, I need to leave… Jess then slipped out of his seat and ran to the back of the school.

It seemed like the graduations took forever. She couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Jess actually came to her graduation, nonetheless Stars Hollow. But why would he come back? She thought he left because he didn't love her. Her confused expression was clear to Paris and she kept bothering Rory with annoying questions. She granted Rory no clemency and Rory soon told Paris to shut up. Finally, Rory came up to the platform.

"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore," Headmaster Charleston called her name. Rory quickly put on a fake smile and received her certificate. "Congratulations." The Headmaster said to Rory as he shook her hand. She grinned, happy to be graduating, but nervous because jess was there. She stepped off the stage and took her place in her seat. When everyone finished graduating, they threw their hats in the air, and for a brief second, Rory forgot about Jess. But that didn't last long. Everyone scattered to see friends and relatives and Rory went off in search of her mom and her grandparents. It seemed like years passed before she could make a lame excuse ("I think I left a book inside on the last day of school. I'm going to go get it.") to go look for Jess. She ducked through crowds and refreshments, robes and hats. She looked everywhere around the school. She finally found him in the back side of the school, reading a book.

"Hi." He said, putting the book down on the bench he was sitting on and standing up.

"Jess," Rory said. "Hi." Jess pulled her into a hug and whispered something in her ear.

"Congratulations." He said.

"You came home." Rory said, changing the subject,

"I came home."

So what do you think? Please review!
