A/N: So the other day I bought season 3 on DVD and when I got home I opened it up and disk 3 was missing. It was horrible because I was so looking forward to watching A deep-fried Korean Thanksgiving. But today I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one and I was sooooo happy. Okay enough rambling on with the show….well story! Haha.

Chapter 3: Talking & Understanding

Rory and Jess are sleeping soundly when all of a sudden they are woken up by the call of a rooster. Jess is so startled that he falls out of bed.

"What is that?" Jess mutters to Rory who is laughing at him.

"I….forgot…..to…..turn…..off…..the….alarm." Rory gets out. School was now done; yesterday was just to complete anything that was unfinished. She has her graduation ceremony on Friday. Just then Jess smirks and Rory stops laughing and realizes that he's staring her up and down. When he fell he pulled all of the blankets with him leaving a naked Rory on the bed. Rory blushed and reaches for a blanket but Jess takes her hand and pulls her down on top of him.

"Hey beautiful." Jess whispers before attacking her lips. He pulls her closer to him on the floor; he's now trailing sweet kisses down her neck.

"My mom's not going to be home until dinner." Rory whispers. She pulls his lips back up to meet her own. And they spent the morning tangled in the sheets on Rory's bedroom floor.

A couple hours later…

Rory and Jess are walking hand in hand towards the Diner. When they walk in Jess goes behind the counter and gets Rory's coffee.

"Thanks, can I have some waffles?"

"Sure thing Babe." Jess places the order with Caesar when Luke walks down the stairs.

"Jess can I talk to you for a minute upstairs?" Luke asks Jess

"Sure Uncle Luke, I'll be there in a minute." Jess says as he goes and starts kissing Rory.

"NOW JESS." Luke yells at him.

"Go." Rory says. Jess nods and gets up and heads toward the stairs where Luke is waiting.

XxXxXxX

"Jimmy stopped by this morning." Luke simply stated.

"Good, did he leave anything for me?" Jess asked Luke nodded and handed him a large envelope.

"How would Jimmy know that your living here?"

"Because he talked to Liz and he came to see me. We talked."

"Why did he come here?"

"He's gotten his life together and he wanted to meet me."

"Jess, he's no good, stay away from him."

"Well that's going to be kind of hard considering I'm going to be staying with him for a while."

"WHAT?" Luke yelled.

"Listen Luke, I need to talk to you, do you think you could stop yelling?"

"Okay, talk." Luke said sitting down in the nearest chair. Jess followed his lead and sat down on the couch.

"Okay so lately I've been thinking about my life and how much I screwed up and how much I love Rory. I want to be good enough for her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. And right now I can't do that if I stay here. I need to get my life together and I can't do that here where everyone hates me. So I asked Jimmy if I could come and stay with him for a while. He said yes and he told me he would drop off a plane ticket in the morning."

"Okay first of all, everyone doesn't hate you. I like you."

"Sometimes" Jess muttered Luke just glared at him. "Rory loves you and Lorelai has been coming around. Second of all, I understand what your saying this town can be a hard place to live. I will support your decision to leave, on one condition."

"What's that?" Jess asked

"That you don't break Rory's heart."

"I don't want to hurt her either. I love her more than anything and I hope she understands."

"If she loves you as much as she says than I think she will understand. Now go and tell her."

"Thanks Uncle Luke."

"Your welcome Jess."

XxXxXxX

Jess walks down the stairs and straight over to Rory with a blank expression on his face.

"Hey, can we go somewhere I have to talk to you about something."

"Sure lets go." Jess grabbed her and put his arm firmly around her shoulders. They walked in silence, just like they usually do, over to the bridge. Jess pulled Rory down with him and positioned her so they were sitting cross-legged facing each other.

"So what do you have to tell me, you look serious." She asked wondering if this was going to be the worst day of her life. Jess took a deep breath

"I have to tell you something and I don't want you to interrupt me okay?"

"Okay."

Another deep breath.

This was the hardest thing he has ever had to do.

"Okay I love you. More than anyone else in the world. You're it for me; I want you to be it for me. Because I love you I have to get my life on track so I can make a good life for us and give you everything you deserve." He paused and she nodded at him slightly confused. Is he breaking up with me? She wondered. He started up again

"I can't fix my life if I stay in this town, with everyone always watching me and telling me how much of a screw up I am, I know you always tell me I'm not, I know that I am. I need to do this for us. I've asked Jimmy if I could go and stay with him while I get my life back on track. He agreed to let me come for a little while. I told Luke this morning, that's what he wanted to talk to me about. Jimmy dropped off a plane ticket for me. Luke wanted to know what Jimmy was doing here so I told him all about it and that I needed to do this so I can become a better person for you and for me. He told me that he understands and that he will support me on one condition." Jess stopped talking to take in Rory's reaction to all of this.

XxXxXxX

Rory was crying. Her boyfriend wanted to leave her. She should be furious with him, but somehow she wasn't. She knew that he was trying to do this for her and for himself. Who was she to stand in his way? I need to be there for him, to help him make his life better. I will try my best to understand what he is going through. He needs my support.

While Rory was crying and struggling to come to terms with what was happening Jess just sat there he wanted so bad to reach out and touch her, pull her in his arms and comfort her. But he didn't know if she hated him right now. What she did next surprised him. Rory reached out and put her arms around Jess pulling her self as close as possible. Knocking them down so they were lying on the bridge.

She was crying some more and just holding on to him. He put his arms around her and kissed her forehead just waiting for her to talk to him, or yell he just wanted a response, because at the moment Jess thought to himself that he had broken Luke's one condition.

Just another mistake to add to his list.

"What was his condition?" Rory asked quietly startling Jess out of his thoughts of failure. He sighed.

"He told me not to hurt you, and that's exactly what I have done." Rory turned her head up and gave him a small kiss on the lips.

"I understand."

She whispered it, he almost didn't hear.

"Yes, I am hurt, but I'm also very proud of you. I want you to have everything in life, and you deserve to have everything. Your it for me too, and if your not happy with your life than we won't be happy together. What matters to me the most is that you are happy." Rory stopped crying now and she was looking him in the eye. He smiled down at her and kissed her with everything he had. What she just told him made him the happiest person in the world. After a few minutes they both needed to breath. Jess sat up sitting cross-legged again and Rory moved to straddle his lap. She looked him in the eye with a big smile on her face.

"If Luke gets a condition, I want one too." Rory said now smiling at him.

"Okay." Jess said unsure of what she was going to say. Everything she had done today had surprised him.

"I want you to promise to come back to me, I want you to tell me where you are at all times." She said her smile turning into a serious expression.

"That's more than one condition." She frowned.

"But I accept your terms." Rory smiled again.

"I also have something to ask of you." He said

"Anything." Rory said

"I want us to not talk to each other while I'm gone, I will send you my address in case of an emergency, But if I'm going to get my life back on track I need to do it alone. I'm not going to talk to Luke either. I need to do this." Rory smiled.

"I agree with you, you need to do this alone, and I think that if I talked to you it would make everything harder and I would hurt even more."

"I love you Jess." Rory said to him

"I love you to Ror, so much." He replied. Rory hugged him tight and put her head in his shoulder. They stayed like that until it got dark and they decided to head home.

A/N: Okay that is the end of Chapter 3. Please R & R.

Thanks for all of the reviews I received for Chapter 2

kat461 – As you see Jess is gonna leave for a little while, and Rory is hurt but she will survive!

petitos grasshoppertje – Have no fear it won't be a rogan or narco. I am not that evil, although I do like some rogans this is not one.

Dione Robertson – Yep, I like to write stories that are very AU this is fanfiction and to me that means it should be different from the show or continuing things in a different way. I hate that some people hate that and want all the different stories to be exactly like the show. Okay sorry about the rant. Anyway thanks for all of the ideas they are very good and I might use some of them.

Sarah – Thanks for reading and for the review. I will try and keep my updates fast!

Lorx3LukeGG – I know he could fix his life in CT, but I think he needs to meet his dad to see where he comes from.

Rae-and-Rob-4evr – It is great when people come and say nice things about your writing and that makes me update faster. Sorry about the bad grammar. I will try my hardest to fix that problem, but it's hard to check the grammar on your own work.
