A/N: Ok so here's a new chapter. I had one written but when I was rereading it I didn't like it. So I wrote this one, and its better, but still not the best but I wanted to get this up. Thanks so much to everyone that has taken the time to read this fic. It is my first fic and the first time I'm letting people read my work, other than teachers. I was a little disappointed when I only got 7 reviews, but then I saw that I got 1007 hits, it made me feel better! I also started a C2 for stories about the Chiltonites, if anyone is interested in being part of Staff just lemme know, my e-mail is in my profile. Also sorry if characters seem a little OOC.

Reviewers:

Sanfangiantsfan: I wanted the confrontation with Jess to be different. There are so many fics out there that have Rory running when she sees Jess; I wanted to give her some more of a backbone.

Spinaround: I thought about making Jess run after her, but it's over done, but I hope you like this chapter!

Javarox: sorry about taking so long to update, but I had some writers block and I was sick. Hope you like this chap!

Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls or the idea… All I own is some make-up and a guitar… God I wish I owned Milo ;)

Tears and Apologies

Rory was waking along the boardwalk with tears in her eyes. She didn't know where she was going, but she did know that she wasn't ready to go back to her hotel yet. She decided to sit on the beach for awhile. She was lost in thought she didn't notice the person that had approached her.

Jess had gotten off from work a couple of hours after his encounter with Rory. All he could think about was why was she there? She wasn't there to see him was she? No she couldn't be it had been two years since they had last seen each other. As he was walking home (and yes his home he had moved out of Jimmy's when he came back the last time) he saw her again. She was sitting on the beach with her knees to her chest. After a long battle with himself if he should approach her or not, he decided to.

When he got up close to her, he noticed that she was crying. Shit! He wasn't planning on her crying, and it also hurt him to know that he was probably the reason that she was. She didn't hear him come up probably because she looked like she was in deep thought, with tears running down her face. He went and sat down beside her, and still nothing. He tried calling out her name, and got no response. So this time he tried to little louder "Rory," that time it caught her attention.

Rory had heard someone calling her name, but it didn't click that someone was actually calling her until the person practically yelled her name. She jumped out of her thoughts and got ready to hurt the person that scared her like that. She soon realized that the person beside her was Jess. "God Jess wear a bell or something!" She was mad at him but the words weren't coming to yell at him. She wanted to yell, but yet she couldn't all she could was sit there and stare into his beautiful eyes. His beautiful brown eyes that had enchanted her so many times before.

Again she was snapped out of her thoughts by Jess calling her name "Rory, hello? Earth to Rory. RORY!"

"Oh sorry, what are you doing here jess?"

"Well I live here. Better question is what are you doing here?" there he asked her. It wasn't so hard.

"I didn't mean California I meant sitting beside me on the beach, unless this is where you live." Rory replied with some sarcasm in her voice. "And to answer your question, I just needed to get away."

"Huh"

They sat there for a couple of minutes in a comfortable silence. Rory's mind was overload how can they be sitting here not feeling awkward? She was supposed to be mad at him for leaving her so many times. But she did say no when she wanted to say yes. I guess that hurt him. He put his heart on the line for me and I stepped on it like it meant nothing to me. That's when she decided to apologize, she knew she didn't have to because, he should be the one to be apologizing because he was the one that left, but it seemed right.

"Jess," he must've been thinking about something, because he jumped slightly when she called his name "I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for the way I handled things the last time I saw you."

Jess tried to interrupt her but failed. "No let me finish, I wanted to go with you so much Jess, but you were asking me to give every thing up for you and I couldn't do that. I worked so hard to get to Yale, and I couldn't just throw it all away, and plus leave my mom behind, I just couldn't. I didn't mean to yell at you, but you also didn't give any reason to trust you."

When Rory finished her rant, and looked like she was truly sorry, he did the only thing he could think of. He kissed her.
