"Jess, I love you too."
Jess froze. Did she just say that she loves me?
"What did you just say?" Jess asked, his voice hoarse.
"I love you," Rory repeated, her eyes bright with unshed tears.
Jess moved forward and hugged her, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Rory put her arms around his neck and held on tight.
I can't believe she loves me. After everything I've put her through, after how much I've messed up her life. She loves me. Rory loves me. She loves me back.
"I just want to be with you," Jess whispered in her ear.
"I want to be with you, too. But I can't leave Yale, Jess."
I know she can't leave Yale. She was meant for Yale. Why did I tell her she had to leave? I would be with her anywhere, even if it meant moving back to Stars' Hollow. She has to know that. Right?
"What are we going to do?" Rory whispered.
Jess pulled back a little and looked at her. "Be together."
"But I can't leave, Jess."
"Then ask me to stay."
Rory looked at him, her eyes wide and wondering. She looks like she can't believe I mean it. Doesn't she know? I would do anything to be with her.
"Jess………will you stay? Stay here, with me?" Rory asked him.
"Yeah. I'll stay."
