Season 1
Chapter 1
As she stood in the cold she shivered, she was only wearing a black top that came to her navel and a short black skirt and her leather heals that came to knee. As she lit a smoke she somehow remembered her mother. Her mother died 4 years ago. Her mother kept her together, now that she wasn't there she was a wreck, she smoked, did drugs, drinks and prostitutes for money. She had suddenly had a flashback from when she was 17...she just started dating Jess and it was thanksgiving. Her mother and her had just entered Luke's for their 3rd thanksgiving dinner, Jess gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and then they all sat...Luke sat next to her mother until she asked for more marshmallows(end of flashback) she had no idea why that came to her but it did and she couldn't stop it .As Rory puffed her smoke she thought 'what the hell am I doing?' she decided to go back to the place she considered homeā¦the bar, that was her job besides prostituting.
As she entered the bar she started working. A man came up to the bar and ordered a drink. As Rory looked at this man she thought 'do i know him?'...She brang him his drink and looked at him curiously she suddenly realized who it was, "Jess is that you?" she said, he replied "excuse me?" "Is your name Jess Mariano!" she exclaimed "Yes why?" he answered "Don't you remember me?" she asked "No I'm sorry I don't" he said confused. she quickly replied "It's me Rory Gilmore" he spat out his drink and said "RORY!" "Yea the one and only" she replied "What are you doing here?" he asked "o I work here...what about you?" she asked "O I have my own business and I just came by for a drink" he finished "o so do you have a girlfriend or a wife?" she asked curiously "almost married once but she cheated on me...how about you do you have a boyfriend or a husband?" he asked "no, i haven't since ...well since Logan" she said quietly "do you maybe want to get some coffee?" he asked "sure my break is in 5 minutes"...Rory stood there staring into his deep dark chocolate brown eyes. she couldn't believe Jess was back in her life.. well not yet but she knew he would soon "ok are you ready to go?" she asked "yea lets go"
They walked out of the bar and Rory lit a smoke.. Jess was shocked "Rory what are you doing?" he asked "I'm lighting a smoke...you want one?" "No I quit 2 years ago" he said "why?" is all she could ask "It was ruining my life and it's going to ruin yours!" he took the smoke from her hand and threw it to the ground. "Hey I was smoking that!" she yelled "Rory what the hell is wrong with you? why are you ruining your life? your only 26..Go back to your mom and get your life back on track!" with that she fell to the ground and cried "Rory I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell...What's wrong?" Jess asked "I DON'T HAVE A MOM!" she yelled. Jess was shocked he didn't know that Lorelai died "What? When did this happen?" is all he could say "about 4 years ago she died in a car accident" "OMG Rory I'm so sorry" He hugged her tight as she cries in his chest "Rory I'm so, so, so sorry.. your don't deserve to go through this" Jess finally said "Yea but I am, Jess I dropped out of Yale and I prostitute and I do drugs and I drink and smoke and I can't hold a job for more than a week I tried quitting everything but then something happens and I start all over again.. no guy wants me cause of all this...I'm trying Jess I'm trying really hard" She cried "I know. Rory why don't you come to my apartment and we can talk?" he said calmly "Ok" As they walked to his apartment he asked all these questions like 'how did you start drinking/prostituting/smoking (etc)'
When they reached his apartment they went upstairs and entered "Do you want some coffee?" he asked "o no thanks" she replied they walked over to the couch and sat down. "Rory you never answered my question" he said "I really don't want to say" "Rory you have to answer me" he said "...After Logan and I broke up I was a wreck...my mom and I weren't talking so I decided to go to the bar and have a drink or two.. I kind of had one two many and ended up in the hospital. After that I told myself I would never drink again...I was doing good until a couple months later that's when I found out that my mom had died...I didn't go to the funeral...I was sad and mad...she died not knowing that I loved her...that's when the drinking came back." She broke down and cried "Rory it's ok...you can still get your life back on track" He said calmly...After an hour of talking about how she got into everything they both fell asleep
