Just Come Home

Here's chapter three. This one is definately longer than the others and finally some Jess! Read the chapter and review please.

It was chilly in New York. Thhere was a smell of hotdogs in the air from the vendor down the street and smells of cars and trucks. People were yelling for taxis and music was coming from a homeless man playing guitar on the side of the street. Millions of people were buzzing through this city thinking of work and their home lives and crises they faced. Everyone had a different agenda, a different plan. Everyone had millions of thoughts going through their heads. But Jess didn't. He had one thought... Rory.

How could you have crashed her car, Mariano? What the hell were you thinking taking her out in the middle of the night for a spin?

He knew exactly what he was thinking. She was smart and beautiful and funny. She was everything he thought he never wanted and everything he knew he had to have. She puzzled him. She was so innocent and naíve. He was a city boy who was rough on the outside and even tougher on the inside. He was like ice until he met her. She melted him.

He first saw her in a picture. He walked into the Gilmore house and picked up a frame. From that picture she was dazzling. And then he walked into her room and realized how charming she was. From her simple introduction he needed her. The only thing he could think of was to do what he always did... run. But run with her.

"So do these open?"

"Oh yeah, you just have to unlatch them and then push."

"Great. Shall we?"

"Shall we what?"

"Bail."

"No."

When she said no, his heart fell for the first time.

It was already nine o'clock. He had been wandering through the city for hours just thinking. He couldn't even concentrate on reading. Ironically he was rereading The Fountainhead. She loved that book so he decided to try it... again. If they spoke again he would mention it. If. No not if. He was sure they would speak again. He was determined. He knew what he had to do then.

Rory was bawling. She never thought it would end like that. She hated this. Everything was falling apart.

When the phone rang she didn't even want to answer it. She let it ring four times before she angrily picked it up.

"Hello?" Rory answered through tears. There was a long pause. "Hello? Is someone there. Hello?" Rory almost thought it was Dean. She decided to not hang up the phone and just waited. She started to cry harder assuming it was Dean.

"Rory? Are you crying?"

"Jess! Is that you?" Rory was excited all of a sudden and realized that it was wrong. Here she was crying for her boyfriend and Jess calls and she could care less about ol' what's his name.

"Yeah Rory, it's me. Why are you crying? Are you okay?" When Dean had asked if she was okay Rory was angry at him. When Jess asked Rory was in awe.

"Jess... He broke up with me." She was breathing heavy and crying again. "He hates me. Oh god Jess my boyfriend hates me." She paused. She cried harder. "Oh my god. He's not my boyfriend anymore..."

"Rory please stop crying. Do you want to talk about it?"

"No. I don't want to stop crying or talk about it." She paused a minute and thought about what she was going to say next. She decided to just say it. "I miss you Jess. Things aren't the same."

"Rory, I've been gone a day. How different could things be?"

"That's just it. I only just found out you were gone about 2 hours ago and I'm already missing you. I'm lonely Jess."

"Oh Rory..."

"Just," She was now crying. Hard. "come home. Just come home Jess. Please. Just come home."

"You want me to come back? Rory they'll kill me. Your mom and Sookie and Jackson and the whole town. Everyone loves you Rory. Everyone hates me. I'm the bad boy with the bad rep. I'm most wanted in Stars Hollow. Rory I can't come back."

"Dean is kind of on the most wanted list. Well he will be by tomorrow." She paused. She then made a realization. "Oh my god you don't want to come back. You don't want to see me. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything I just thought you would want to come back to..."

"...to you?"

"Well ummm no not to me. Well just. I mean Luke is here and there's a good bookstore and..." Rory paused a moment. "...to me."

"Rory, do you... well do you like..."

"Rory! Rory! Where are you hon?" Lorelai started to yell as she came into the house.

"I have to go. My mom just came in. Just come home..."

"But Rory..."

"And Jess?"

"What?"

"Yes."

A/N So how did you like it? Let me know in a review. I don't know what I'm going to do for the next chapter but I'll try to write it soon. I have a busy week coming upand I'm not sure when I'll be free. In the next chapter I might add some Dean conflict...
