Rory,
God only knows why I'm even writing this. The chances that I will actually give you this are slim to none. I still have to do it though. I'm coming to Stars Hollow tomorrow and I realized about ten minutes ago that I have to write this for you. Regardless if you ever read it, I have to do it. I have obviously made my point about why I'm writing this and now I guess the next logical step is to give you something to read. So, here it goes. A year ago I showed up at your dorm room asking you to come away with me. Was I stupid back then? Yes. Was I out of mind? Of course. I have changed from that though. I have become a better person. As I look back on that night, I notice a few things that haven't changed. Rory, you have to know that my feelings for you will never completely go away. I don't know why but it's just something I have discovered recently. I will always have something for you, you will always be somewhere in my mind. I obviously will or I should say have moved on. You're still at the back at my head at all times though. I think I just need you to know that I can never fully get over you. Instead of denying it I have decided to just come out and say it. So your probably wondering where I'm going with all of this. Honestly, I don't even know. I'm sort of writing whatever comes to my mind. Maybe what I'm getting at is this; don't ever think I have forgotten about you or don't care about you. Also, I don't know if I have ever had the courage to tell you how sorry I am for the past. Like I said, I was a complete and total idiot back then. I think I have finally decided a purpose for this letter. It's like my goodbye to you but let me leave you with this. I never wanted to let you go. (Yes, I have grown quite cheesy over the years) I never wanted to end it but it's too late to go back. So just remember that you're always on my mind and I will always feel something for you. These feelings will never be returned and that's why I must keep going. Would you like a summary because reading over this is sounds quite confusing and deformed? Here's one anyway; I'm sorry, I will never forget you, and goodbye.
Jess
Rory slowly lowered the letter and looked up at Jess with tears in her eyes. She tried to speak but nothing came out but a gasp. After a few minutes, she managed to get out, "Oh my god."
Jess nodded, "I should have given it to you sooner but I just couldn't do it."
Rory wiped away a tear, "It's… It's okay. I'm just so..." Rory stopped herself mid-sentence when everything hit her hard in the face. Jess was still with Tessa. Rory suddenly filled up with anger, "Why would you give me this Jess?"
Jess looked bewildered, "Uh… I thought you…"
Rory didn't even let him answer, "Why would you give me this when you're still with Tessa? I mean, it's like you're just shoving in my face the big old 'what could have been'. Why would you do this?"
"Rory! Slow down okay? Me and Tessa are done! We broke up less than a month ago!"
Rory's heartbeat started to speed up, "What? Why?"
Jess laughed and shook his head, "You're holding it!"
Rory knew he was talking about the letter but for some reason, she still looked down at it when he said that. Rory took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She needed a breather. This was all happening so fast that she didn't even know if it was real or not. Rory opened her eyes and said quietly, "Okay, where do we go from here?"
Jess shrugged, "Where do you want to go?"
Rory looked him straight in the eye, "I want to be with you. That's where I want to go. I just, need to hear it from your mouth Jess. What do you want?"
"I want you." He said it so quickly and so confidently. He didn't need to think about it or ponder the question because he knew the answer. It was the same answer it was all those years ago. It was the one thing that had never changed in his life. Ever since Jess could remember, he wanted her.
Rory smiled, "Okay so I want you and you want me right?"
Jess laughed, "Right."
"And you and Tessa are done right?"
"Right."
"Good. And…"
Jess gently grabbed her arm, "Rory! How much more reassurance do you need? I'm telling you to your face that I want you!"
She smiled, "I know but I just need to make sure."
Jess smirked, "What can I do to make you believe me?"
"Oh well, there is this one thing." Rory said moving closer to him. He also moved closer and their lips met. Rory wrapped her arms around his waist as he cupped her cheeks.The kiss deepened and Rory pulled him in closer. Before she knew it, they both needed to come up for air. They pulled away but Rory kept her arms around him and he rested his hands on her shoulders. She laughed, "I have forgotten how good you were at that."
Jess nodded, "I could same the same for you. Actually, I'm being to forget again already. Would you please remind me?"
"It would be
my pleasure." Rory leaned back in but pulled away quickly,
"Wait
Jess, I just need you to promise me something."
"What?"
Rory looked up at him and said, "I need you to promise me that you really have changed."
Jess nodded, "Rory I promise you. I have changed."
She about kicked herself when she found herself crying once again. It seemed like all she had been doing lately was crying. Rory put her hand to her mouth and pulled away completely.
"Rory? What's wrong?"
She shook her head through her tears, "I just can't believe this is happening. After all these years of pretending to be over you, I don't have to pretend anymore. I can just be with you." Rory laughed as she tried to dry her tears, "Oh my god. Uh, on a scale of one to ten how corny did I just sound?"
Jess shrugged, "I'd say about a seven."
Rory sniffled and move close to Jess again. She still had tears in her eyes as she pulled him back into a kiss. Several minutes later, they pulled away. Rory looked at Jess under the moonlight and instantly smiled. Could this get any better?
A/N: Okay so you know how you have these amazing ideas in your head but when you go to write them down, they suck? Well, that's how it was with this chapter. I had planned for it to be 10 times better and longer but, I'm sorry. I hope you enjoyed it even though I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that they are finally back together but, the way I wrote this sucked butt. Ehhh.. maybe you think otherwise. I sure hope so! Um, I don't know if I have any questions to answer in my reviews but let me see here…. oh wait! There's one I think:
A terrible Beauty- Tessa just had the flu, nothing serious. Thanks for the review!
-To every single one of you who review, thank you! They mean the world to me and keep me going! So, keep them coming!
Happy Reading folks!
P.S- Short, short, short chapter and for that, I'm sorry! I had to stop there!
