The next morning Lorelei walked into Rory's room. "Rory, wake up. Hey Wake up."

Rory opens her eyes and sees her mom standing over her. "What?"

Lorelei: "Where were you yesterday? I thought you would stop by the Dragon Fly."

Rory: "I was…uh…I was with Lane. We hung out all day

Lorelei: "Oh…well I'm glad you had fun. What are your plans for today?"

Rory: "I don't know. Maybe go check out the bookstore. See what new books they have."

Lorelei: "You and your books. Well stop by the Dragon Fly later ok. Maybe we could get lunch or something."

Rory: "Yeah. I'll stop by around 2?"

Lorelei: "Ok see you then. I better go. Bye."

Rory: "Bye."


Rory got up, showered and got dressed. She decided to go visit Lane. She got in her car and drove to Lane's. Lane answered the door. "Hey."

Rory: "Hey."

Lane: "I was just about to leave for work."

Rory: "Oh…Ok. Well I just thought I'd stop by to see what you were doing. Well call me later."

Lane: "Wait. What's wrong?"

Rory: "Nothing. Well…"

Lane: "Ok something's up so you gotta spill. Why don't you walk me to work."

Rory: "Ok."

Lane: "So what happened with Jess?"

Rory: "Well we talked Luke's. He apologized for everything that happened. He told me about how things were going for him. Oh and he gave me a copy of a book he wrote."

Lane: "He wrote a book?"

Rory: "Yeah and its dedicated to me."

Lane: "Wow!"

Rory: "Yeah. Yesterday I went with him to New York. We talked some more and I asked him about the dedication in his book."

Lane: "Well Naturally. What did he say?"

Rory: "That he still loves me."

Lane: "Wait. He still loves you? What did you say?"

Rory: "I didn't know what to say. But I did kind of kiss him."

Lane: "What?! You kissed him? So does this mean you still love him?"

Rory: "Well I still kind of do, but Logan. I love him too. I don't know I'm just so confused. And now Jess is mad at me."

Lane: "Why?"

Rory: "Well I had just told him I still loved him and Logan called. He had asked what I did that day and I told him I was helping my mom. I didn't mention Jess at all."

Lane: "Rory what are you going to do?"

Rory: "I don't know. This is just so confusing. I care about them both."

Lane: "Well who do you love more?"

Rory: "I don't know."

Lane: "Yes you do. Who do you see yourself with?"

Rory: "I really don't know."

Lane: "Come on Rory."

Rory: "Jess. I mean he's seems to have really changed and I don't know things just feel right with him."

Lane: "See. I told you."

Rory: "But he hates me. Well he's mad at me."

Lane: "Well that's understandable. You hurt his feelings. You just have to end things with Logan."

Rory:" I don't know if I can. He's done so much for me."

Lane: "Well you have to make a decision."

Rory: "I know."

Lane: "Well I better go to work. Call me later ok."

Rory: "Ok. Bye."


She walks into Weston's for a cup of coffee and a pastry. When she goes to sit at a table she sees Jess. He looks up and sees her. She was half expecting him to runaway like he had done before, but he didn't he just continued reading his book. She wanted to walk up to him, but she couldn't. She just grabbed her stuff and left. She walked into the bookstore and looked around. Jess walked into the bookstore to talk to the owner about selling his book. He asked for the owner and waited for him. He talked to him for 15 minutes when Rory walked up to the cash register to pay for a couple of books. He saw her, but he kept on talking to the owner. He finished his pitch and was about to leave when Rory stopped him. "Jess. Are just going to keep avoiding me?"

Jess: "Well…I don't know. Have you made up your mind yet? Have you made a choice?"

Rory: "Well not exactly. But it's not that simple."

Jess: "But it is. Either you want to be with him or you want to be with me."

Rory: "But it's just…."

Jess: "Look don't talk to me until you make up your mind." And he starts to walk away. "Oh yeah and I'm leaving today at 5" And walks into Luke's.

Rory just stands there. "What should I do?" She walks home and plops on her bed. She looks at her clock. It's already 2:30. She remembered she had to meet her mom for lunch. So she got in her car and drove to the Dragon Fly. Lorelei was waiting for her in the dinning room. "Hey Rory."

Rory: "Hey mom. Sorry I'm late."

Lorelei: "Its ok I was running late too."

They ordered their food and talked about school and Logan. "So how are things going with you and Logan?"

Rory: "I don't know. Okay I guess."

Lorelei: "What's going on?"

Rory: "I don't know. Sometimes I feel like things are just not working out. I get tired of baby-sitting him and his friends when they go drinking. And worrying about the stupid things he and his friends do. I don't know. Then there's Jess. I'm just so confused."

Lorelei: "Wait what about Jess?"

Rory: "Well he and I have been getting close lately and he told me he still loved me. I mean he dedicated his book to me. Yesterday we went to New York and being with him these feelings just came back. Mom I'm so confused."

Lorelei: "Well do you love him?"

Rory: "Yeah, but I also love Logan."

Lorelei: "Well kid I don't know what to tell you. Just follow your heart."

Rory: "Thanks mom. Man it's already 4:30. I have to go. I might be gone for a few days, but I'll call you."

Lorelei: "Wait where are you going?"

Rory: "I'm following my heart."


Rory races home throws clothes into her suitcase. She grabs what she needs from the bathroom and throws them into her suitcase. She checks her watch again. 4:45. She races to her car and drives to Luke's. She runs inside and sees Luke. "Where's Jess?"

Luke: "He just left."

Rory: "ooh." Tears well up in her eyes and she walks outside to her car. "I can't believe I missed him. I'm so stupid"


Just then she sees Jess' car parked in front of Gypsy's. She jumps out of her car grabs her suitcase and runs to Jess' car. He was just about to leave when he saw Rory in his rearview mirror. He got out of his car and he was met by a kiss from Rory. "I love you and I want to be with you."

Jess: "Are you sure? Because…" He was silenced by another kiss. "I love you too. What's with the suitcase?"

Rory: "I'm going with you."

Jess: "Well let's go."

He puts her suitcase in the trunk and opens her door to let her in the car. Jess looks at Rory. "Man I love you."

Rory: "I love you too."

They're on their way to Philadelphia. "So what made you decide to come with me?"

Rory: "I don't know? It was kind of a spur of the moment decision."

Jess: "What's your mom going to say?"

Rory: "Well she told me to follow my heart and that's what I'm doing so she'll just have to deal with the decision I guess."
