Hi guys! I got this one done a little but faster. Thanks for all you who reviewed.

Angel Monroe- Thanks, I'm sorry that my writing is choppy, but what do I know? I'm only 13; I haven't had much experience in writing because this is only my second story. I hope I can get better and make my stories come to your liking in the future.

Sanfrangiantsfan- I tried to make it similar to the show, except for that part and Jess being her friend earlier when their were just kids.

Well, I will let all of you read the chapter. Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whatever, to all of you!

He Comes Again

The next following days were tough. Rory kept getting asked questions about what happened and everyone blamed Jess. It really annoyed her. Plus, her mom refused to apologize to Luke, but eventually they did make up. Rory never knew why Jess left. It was just an accident.

Today was Lorelei's graduation. She was so happy for her. She worked so hard studying that it was finally over!

"Well, today's the day! It is all going to be over! No studying, no homework, no tests, gone!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"Yay! I'm so proud of you, Mom. You work so hard and you achieved it."

"Coffee, Luke. We need to celebrate."

Luke came over to them and poured them each coffee.

"Uh, Luke? You think maybe you could leave the pot just this once?"

He hesitated, but finally gave in. "Okay, but just this once. I really care about your health and mine. You guys need to start eating healthier food or else in the future you won't live to have anymore coffee."

"Eww… Why would we eat that stuff? It tastes nasty and…"

Luke just rolled his eyes and walked away from the two that were thinking of names of what it could taste like.

"Well, I have to get to school. I might be staying late after school because of the Franklin, but I will make it to the graduation."

"Okay, sweets. Later."

She went to the bus stop and waited for the bus. When it came, she went in. Suddenly, the bus came to a stop at her school, but her legs wouldn't budge.

A few hours later, she found herself in New York. She got on a subway then asked for directions. She walked a little bit and then she saw him. She froze, for she didn't know how to approach or if she should approach him.

Maybe I should just go back, she thought.

"Rory?"

Oh, no. Too late.

"Um, hi."

"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to the explore the place and of course I need a tour guide, so…"

"Come on, I will show you around."

He put the book he had in his pocket and lead the way.

"They have this really cool book store I want to show you."

When they got there and entered, Rory got wide-eyed.

"You're the best!" she said as she hugged him then ran around the bookshelves.

A few hours later, Rory had two bags full of books.

"I'm hungry. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, let me show you how we New Yorkers eat."

They left and went up to this hot dog seller.

"I'll have one with everything on it." Jess said then turned around with a questioned look on his face.

"Uh, I'll have the same."

They took their hotdogs and sat down near-by a music store.

"Rory, why aren't you at school? You have never missed school intentionally."

"I felt like doing something new. Who knew the Big Apple was this big. I could get used to this."

"Don't call it the Big Apple, you sound like a tourist." he stopped for a second. "And by doing something new is missing school? Rory Gilmore, is this going to become a habit? How are you going to get into Harvard?" he said in a motherly like voice, but with a smirk on his face.

"No, Mom, it isn't. I just wanted to d something unexpected of me. Everyone expects me to be a perfect girl. I'm not. I just want to have some time to get away from it all and be myself." she half-lied and half told the truth.

Another reason is because I can be myself around you…

"Okay, I guess that's a good enough excuse. Come on, I want to take you here." Jess said and grabbed her arm.

They went inside and looked around. Rory found a cd that she wanted to five to her mother.

"Hey, I can give this to my mom as a graduation present."

After a half an hour, they left.

"That guy is like a guy version on Lane."

"I know, tell me about it." Jess said then studied her face as her smiled turned into a frown. "What's wrong?"

"I have to get home. Her graduation starts soon."

"Okay, I'll walk you to the subway. I still can't believe you managed on your own."

"I sounded like a real local. I can live here in the Big Apple."

"What did I tell you about calling it that? If you were so local, you wouldn't call it that."

"Yeah, yeah." she paused as she saw the subway. It was time for her to go. "I guess I have to go."

He just nodded.

She got in and found a seat near the window. She opened it.

Jess asked, "Why New York?"

"You never said good-bye."

He smiled and said, "Bye Rory."

"Bye Jess."

She closed the window and just waved.

On the way to Stars Hollow, she found out that the ride home was going to be delayed do to some technical problems.

When she got home, she found out she had missed the graduation.

"Where were you?"

"New York,"

"Why?"

"I wanted to do something fun."

"I though school was fun."

"It is, I just wanted to do something different."

"Isn't Jess in New York?"

"Yes," Rory said staring at her feet.

"You are falling for him."

"No, I can't. I'm not. I have a perfect boyfriend. His name is Dean, not Jess. Jess is my friend. I'm sorry. I feel terrible that I missed your graduation. I am a bad girl. I am punishing myself. No supper, just straight to bed. I don't deserve to eat. I need to suffer." she paused. "Wait, oh, no! I don't even have your present! It was signed and everything. I must of left it on the subway. Now I really don't deserve supper."

"No, Rory, it's okay. Mommy wants to have supper with her kid to celebrate. You are beating yourself up, stop. Just go in and change and we will go out to eat. You can punish yourself later."

"Okay, after tonight, I don't deserve to be happy. I shouldn't be able to read or see daylight. I am locking myself up. No fun." Rory said and went inside.

------------------------------------------------------------------

A week later, it was Sookie's wedding.

Luke went upstairs to grab something and there was Jess.

"How'd you get up here? I should of saw you come in at the diner," he paused while Jess looked at him with a blank expression. "You know what? Never mind. What I want to know is why you are here,"

"My stuff is still here. Why didn't you ship it off?"

"I didn't have the time. You still didn't answer my question."

"I want to move back."

"What?"

"I want to move back,"

"You are standing in front of me wearing a shirt that's flipping me off and you want to move back?"

"Yes,"

"Okay."

"I'll help close up later."

"Okay, you have to understand that you need to turn your grades around and no more staying out late or you are out of here. After school, you come here, work, do your homework, sleep, then go to work, then school. You got it?"

"Okay." Jess said as he headed for the door.

"She's still with him."

Jess froze and closed his eyes then bobbed his head down while his hand was on the knob.

"I don't know what you're talking about.

"Oh, I'm sure you do. You know who I'm talking about."

"Whatever." he said and walked out.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Rory was talking to her dad about his intentions when her dad's cell phone rings.

"Rory, I have to take this."

"Okay, you are approved."

Rory went walking for a little bit before the wedding was to start. She was excited that her father was actually going to stay!

She sees a shadow by the tree. She looks closer to find… Jess!

Suddenly, she couldn't breath. He was actually back!

Right that moment, her emotions confused her. She walked up to him.

"What are you doing here?"

He smirked. "I wanted to move back." He was about to ay that she looked absolutely beautiful and radiated in that dress, but that would go too far, he should rather just say, "Nice dress," Before he could, Rory grabbed him and her lips were on his.

At first, he wasn't entirely sure of what was going on, for she caught him by surprise, but after a realization, he kissed her back.

Rory POV

What are these feelings that I have when I kiss hi m? I never felt like this with Dean. It felt like a million times that. Wait, Dean. This is bad. I don't want to pull away, but this will hurt him, she thought then slowly pulled away.

Jess POV

What is happening? Did she just kiss me? She just kissed me. I should kiss back to tell her I feel it too, he thought. No, she's starting to pull away…

No POV

They come apart after what it seemed forever.

Jess smirked.

"Don't say a word," she said running away. "Oh, and welcome back." she added.

He watched her ungracefully run away. That made his smirk bigger. That'd what he liked about her, though she may look perfect, she's not. She has her own flaws that no one seems to notice. But in a few, she was perfect, yes, perfect for him.

She can run away from it, but she knows it's true. Where else could she run to anyway? It's Stars Hollow! He thought.

Little did he know that she was going to run to Washington D.C. for 2 ½ weeks. No phone call, no e-mail, no postcard, and no letter explaining what they had shared with each other. It's going to hurt really badly.

Well, what did you think? Please review!

Next Up: Dean's back. Is Rory having second thoughts of having feelings for Dean? Jess is hurt that Rory was gone and that she acted like it didn't happen. Dance Marathon comes, does Dean see the connection? Will they confess their true feelings for eachother?

I can't wait to write the next one. I kind of already started. For all you Jess/Rory lovers, you have something coming that I think that you will really like.
