"Rory, I'm sorry, plz let me talk to you."
"No Jess its over. You know, as in kaput, dead, gone, as in O-V-E-R. OVER!" she said as she walked to her next class. But to her displeasure…it was with jess.
"Ok class, as you know last week I assigned you a project. It was to write a poem about something special to you. Now I expect each and every one of you to behave when we have one of you up here. Now because I'm very intrigued about my two favorite students I'll have them up first. Mrs. Gilmore would you come up here please."
She stood up took out her poem and walked up to the front of the classroom. She looked at jess and then started reading.
"You took my heart and broke it too pieces. You had everything and let me down. You made me your queen, and then broke my crown. I don't want to be this beauty queen; I don't want to be your Barbie doll. I cant handle this pain, I cant handle this untrust. The heart that was full of lust is now filled with hate. I cant even look at your face without wishing you'd pay. I try to move on but it doesn't happen. But now when I hear you I'm madden. I wish you'd die. But till then I'll stay in my room and cry.
"Wow Mrs. Gilmore. That was…interesting. Thank you. Now for my second favorite…Jess Mariano."
He got up and walked to the front of the room. He watched Rory as she sat down.
"Jess, where is your poem?"
"I didn't write one."
"You didn't write one?"
"No, I didn't write one when you told me to. But I did write one a month ago. When something happened. And it hurt. I wrote this to tell her the truth, and I hope she will forgive me." He cleared his throat.
"I'm in love with your smile, he one that lights up the room. I'm in love with your eyes, the ones that hold so much pain but never seems to cry. I'm in love with your hair that hugs around you protectively. I'm in love with your mouth and how it holds the deadly words that you say. I'm in love with your heart and how opens so easily and trust so hard even though it pains. But most of all I'm in love with you, cuz you hold all those things, and all those things make you beautiful and all of those things make you. And I wouldn't have it any other way,"
He cleared his throat again. The room was silent. He turned around to go back to his seat when he heard a tiny clap. He turned back around, and he saw her. He saw Rory clapping. Soon the rest of the class joined in. they were all clapping because they thought it was just some words on a piece of paper put in a neatly-rhymed fashion. But only she knew what it meant. And to her it meant the world.
"Jess, Jess! Hey jess" she caught his arm. "Wait up."
"Oh I thought you weren't talking to me."
"I changed my mind. I'm sorry I didn't let you explain. I'm so sorry. But when I heard that girl-"
"-Rory there was no girl. Well I mean there was girl but it wasn't what you thought. Maria is my stepsister. She a product of one of Lizez failed marriages. After my mom divorced her dad, she stayed with us. She became my best friend and a true sister. We grew really close when Liz left. But it was worth it. She had called earlier that day when I was on my way to your house, to say she was in town and her water heater had broken. I didn't call you because I thought it wouldn't take too long, but then we got to talking and I guess it did." He took her hand 'you of all people should know I would never hurt you. I love you."
And with that She kissed him. She kissed him forever. She loved him. And wouldn't have it any other way.
That's it …for the chapter anyway. I'm thinking of the future for them. Lol I hope this makes up a little bit for the long wait, thank you tho. Plz R&R!
