Thank for the great reviews. I for some reason lost my muse for this story. I am ending it here. It didn't turn out quiet like I wanted it to, but I will let you be the judge.
Rory sat in her old room crying for most of the day. She had done this before. She knew who was going to be on her mind at the end. She lay across her bed thinking of how far she felt from Logan, how they had become what they began as, 2 very different people. She sighed as she realized what she had to do. She looked outside and saw the rain starting to fall. She shivered as she remembered how cold it was outside. She wondered what her dissension would mean. Jess had never said he was staying in Stars Hollow. He would be going back to New York sooner or later. Luke had said he was there to gather his thoughts. What happens when all of his thoughts are gathered? Does he run back to New York leaving her alone? Rory sat watching the rainfall and the sunset.
There was a gentle tap at the window as the rain slacked up. She jumped up from a light nap and walked over to the window. She smiled as she saw Jess shivering on the other side. Opening the window she started to laugh.
"We have a door, ya know." She said as she watch his dripping body climb through.
"That would be less romantic." He smirked. "Plus I tried the front door, there was no answer.
Rory looked outside and noticed it was dark. She must have been out for a while.
"What are you doing here?" she said as she sat on the bed.
"I'm going back to New York tomorrow." Jess said as he sat in the floor in front of her.
"Oh." She said fighting back the tears.
"Rory, I can't sit around her and hope you want me back." Jess said jumping up.
"No, of course. I know." She said pulling him next to her on the bed.
"So what now?" Jess asked.
"That is what I was going to ask you." She said smiling.
"I feel 17 all over again." Jess mumbled.
"I know, I'm sorry." She said looking at him.
"Don't you feel it?" Jess said grabbing her hand. "The electric in the air every time you're around, the way our hearts beat faster and faster. The way you feel like home."
There was a loud bang in the living room and then they heard laughter. The 2 walked to the living room and saw Luke and Lorelai soaked and laughing. Paul Anka ran over to Jess and started barking. Luke looked over to see Jess dripping on the floor. He started laughing and Lorelai followed.
"The car got a flat." Lorelai started laughing.
"Gee that does sound funny." Jess said walking to the couch.
"Hold it. You need dry clothes before you set down." Luke warned Jess.
"Geez." Jess scoffed.
"Come on I will give you some of mine." Luke said walking up the stairs.
"Flat tire?" Rory asked.
"Yeah. Luke changed it and Paul Anka ran down the street. We had to chase him. We finally caught him and we lost the keys. We got back to the Jeep and found out that I had the keys the whole time." She calmed her laugh.
"That is a riot mom." Rory said confused.
"You had to be there." She shrugged.
Later that night Jess and Rory sat in her car. She was about to leave for Hartford and he was about to leave for New York. They had spent most of the night playing monopoly with Luke and Lorelai. The game ended early when Luke decided that Jess was helping Lorelai cheat. Which couldn't be proven, but was very true.
"I want you to move to close to Yale with me." Rory said as Jess started to get out of the car.
"What?" he said in shock.
"You heard me right?" she giggled.
"Rory, are you saying what I think your saying?" he said looking at her with wide eyes.
"Yes. I am breaking up with Logan as soon as I see him. I want to be with you." She said grabbing his hand.
"I don't have a job, I mean I have a job here, not making much money. I lost my job in New York. I guess I do have some odd jobs I do. Like the Music Reviews." He said scratching his head. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." She said reaching into her back seat. "Here this is yours."
Jess looked down at the stack of papers she was handing him. "How did you?"
"Luke found it. He told me I should read it. He told me you said it was a piece of crap, but at least you tried." She replied.
"You read it? Did you like it?" Jess looked stunned.
"Yes. I loved it. I am glad I inspired you." She said looking at the cover sheet.
Dedicated to Rory Gilmore. My inspiration for life.
"I didn't think you would see it. I mean I was thinking of getting it published, but never did." He said smiling.
"You should. It would help with rent." She said smiling even bigger.
"I guess it would." He leaned in to kiss her. "Will you come in?"
"No, I have to take care of something. Then I will be back." She said kissing him.
"Ahh. Okay. We will see each other soon."
Jess got out of the car and watched her drive away. He was confused and shocked. Looking down at his book he smiled. He didn't even notice it gone. He hoped that she was serious about moving in together. He left for New York early the next morning. As he drove down the street his phone rang.
"Hey. So when do you want to look for a place." Rory said.
"As soon as we can." He replied.
"Right now then. Is that good?" she asked biting her lip.
Jess turned around and headed towards Hartford. "Right now is perfect."
4 months later.
"Jess." Rory giggled as they rolled around in bed. "I am going to be late for school."
"Go." He said kissing her.
Rory got her clothes on and headed out the door. She looked behind her to see Jess typing away on the computer. She hoped it was another book, but knew it was another review. She smiled and headed out the door. Jess looked at the door as it shut. Smiling he looked back at the computer. He knew she suspected he was righting another review, but it was another novel. Inspired by the one and only Rory Gilmore.
