A/N: Yay, I read my first review. Thank you very much. I went back in the last two chapters and tried my best at cleaning up the grammar and typos. If you spot anything I missed and you have the energy, you can email me and I'll change it. More Reviews please, I do like the ones that tell me what to improve on, so don't be afraid for telling me something like "Your story sucks, you need more of insert character here " or something like that.

"LANE" Rory screamed to her best friend.

"What's wrong, what happened, is Jake okay?" Lane said trying to be calm, but her voice was cracking.

"No, he is fine, don't worry, just major problems have arrived in Stars Hollow"

"Just tell me now before I burst."

Dave was standing next to lane with a confused, yet scared look on his face. He and Lane also got married when Dave graduated. He came back for her and they have been living happily ever since. They are also in the same band. Zach is still in it, he was fine with the break up, a bit heart broken though. They found their way around the awkwardness so they could still have the amazing high school band they used to have. Gill does drop by every now and then just to jam, but he is not actually in the band anymore. "That's my cue to leave," He said walking towards Luke's.

"No, stay, I think you should know as well" Rory said, so he wouldn't be surprised walking into Luke's.

"Wow, this must be serious" Lane said.

"Well, someone has moved into Luke's apartment!" Rory exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Rory, but that isn't much of a problem," Dave said with a smirk.

"No, but who is, is the problem"

"Well who" Lane was jumping with excitement.

"Jess"

"NO" Dave and Lane said in astonishment.

"Yes, and he is actually nice and not that sarcastic"

"No" Lane said

"Ok, now that is my cue to leave, one more 'NO' and then I will burst, I'll meet you at Luke's" Dave exclaimed, still in shock, walking into the diner.

"So what is he doing here?" Lane asked

"Supposedly finding inspiration for his next novel." Rory said.

"And did he just show up randomly, that is an old Jess thing to do"

"No, Luke knew, but didn't tell us because Jess made him promise to keep it a secret."

"Luke is dead"

"I think so"

"How are you doing?"

"Fine, I think"

"Ok, what is really going on?"

"Uhh, not here, lets go to the bridge." Rory said, realizing that was she and Jess's place afterwards, but going to it anyway.

At the Bridge

"Okay, so spill" Lane said with a huge grin. She loved talking to Rory about boys and stuff and missed it since they both have been married for about 2 years.

"Well, I have been happy with Jake, just not perfectly happy, there was always a piece of my heart missing"

"Yea-huh, keep going" Lane was mesmerized into Rory's story.

"And seeing Jess, well he took my breath away. I found myself stand after I snapped out of that state. He came over and hugged me."

"Wow, that is very mature of him"

"Yea that is what I thought, but when he was hugging me I didn't want him to let go. Lane, my mind, it was on his hair then his lips, if Jake wasn't there I have no clue what I would of done. I think I'm still in love with Jess" Rory looked over at Lane and she was just staring blankly behind Rory. Rory turned to see whom it was, she swallowed hard.

Back at the Diner when Jess went upstairs after Jake left

Dammit Jess what are you going to do. You are such an idiot coming back here. Luke is an idiot. If he would of told me, I wouldn't be feeling this pain. I cannot take it. I just need to clear my head…And with that he grabbed his mp3 player (yes he had one of those full of some of his favorite songs) and the book he was reading currently and walked off.

"Hey Jess" Dave said at the stool.

"Whoa, hey Dave, what are you doing here?"

"I came back after I graduated and married Lane"

"Smart of you, taking her while you can" Jess just realized what he said and was now afraid that he gave too much away.

"Yea, I know, if I didn't I would not know what to do with myself." Did he really say that, oh my God, he is still in love with Rory. Dave was astonished.

"Yea, well I'm off, maybe we can hang later" I always liked that guy. Jess was in a different Stars Hollow. On his way out Taylor walked in.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE" Every head in the diner was turned. Luke ran behind the counter to pull out the video camera with a huge smile on his face.

"Uhh, just revisiting some old friends, oh and I'm moving here"

Taylor had to step back. Luke had the biggest smile on his face, not putting down the video camera though.

"Yea well, I'm off"

"You hooligan" was all Taylor could say.

Jess didn't look back to see what happened next in the diner, all he heard was "Luke put that thing away, are you finding enjoyment in my misery?" Jess smirked and kept on walking. Right before he turned the corner to go onto the bridge he heard her voice say "Well, I have been happy with Jake, just not perfectly happy, there was always a piece of my heart missing"

He couldn't walk in on that, so just as he was about to leave he heard her say "And seeing Jess, well he took my breath away. I found myself stand after I snapped out of that state. He came over and hugged me."

Jess grew a grin; he had to stay for the show. He knew this was bad. As she said "Lane, my mind, it was on his hair then his lips" he almost fainted. He started to walk onto the bridge subconsciously. When she said it, when she said that she was still in love with him, Jess froze. Yes, she said it, I am not hearing things, I cannot believe it.

"JESS" Rory said pulling Jess back to life.

"Uhh, sorry didn't know anyone was here, I'll leave" He said turning around.

"Uh, no, stay" Was all she could get out.

"Doesn't look like you need me here, I'll just go find Dave" Lane said a bit uncomfortable.

"Uh, he is back at the diner" Jess said never taking his eyes off Rory.

"Thanks" Lane said running off.

"So how much did you hear" Rory asked, a bit embarrassed, eyes look down at the bridge.

"All of it, I'm so sorry, I can just leave if this is uncomfortable and pretend that this never happened" Jess said, not believing what he was saying. All he wanted to do was hold her.

"No, we should probably talk"

"Yea" Jess wasn't sure if he should tell her that she was the one that still had his heart. He was never put in a position like this. Jess took a seat next to Rory after she sat back down.

After a long awkward silence, Jess couldn't take it, he had to come out and say it.

"The only thing that stayed in Stars Hollow of mine was my heart" That was a bit mushy of you Jess, Jess was amazed by his own openness.

Rory just looked at him, "What are we going to do?" She asked softly.

"I can leave and go back to New York" Jess said, with a hint of disappointment.

"Don't" Was all that came out of Rory's mouth. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to be with him and not Jake. She wanted to tell him the truth behind Jake, but she couldn't.

"To tell you the truth, I cannot stand to see him with you and having to see that my whole life will kill me"

"Well maybe you won't have to"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not really in love with Jake. He is the perfect guy, but he would understand."

"To go on a bit lighter subject, how have you been?" Jess couldn't take where this conversation, he had to run away from it, like he ran away from anything deep in his life.
