Jess was not there before Rory left. Nor was Jess there when Rory got back home. And in the three days between Europe and Yale – there was still no Jess. Rory sighed as her first week of lectures came to an end as she walked back to her dorm with a new cup of coffee. She stopped as her door came into sight. She felt her heart jump as his name slipped out with her breath. Jess. He picked himself up off the floor and brushed off his pants. Rory paused as she took in his outfit for the second time because surely she was wrong. A suit jacket?

After a moment of Rory simply standing there staring at him from the distance that she had first found him, she was hugging him almost in tears.

She pulled back after a minuet or so and brushed some hair out of her face and opened the door. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I went back – but you weren't there."

"What?"

"you told me the 22nd. Its only the 21st today. So I went home last night and stopped by Luke's and he told me you'd already left."

"Yeah I got my dates wrong- the last few days have been a blur of trying to" she stopped mid sentence in realization "you came?"

"You wanted me to right?"

She chuckled slightly and moved to the couch feeling this was a sit down conversation.

"of course I wanted you to – but then I never ever wanted you to go, and I never wanted bob to be my only goodbye." She paused as he looked down ad then restated "but I defiantly wanted you here."

They sat for while. In each others company and there own thoughts until Rory finally asked "so you playing dress ups?"

He smirked and pulled a small yellow rose bud out of his jacket pocket, once he'd given it to her he also pulled out a so fresh cd which caught her interest. "so fresh? Mean I know you were telling me you were a little more into the new stuff before you left but I jut thought you meant you hadn't picked up the pixies in awhile – I was expecting say…well anything but … so fresh."

Jess smirked and sat on the edge of the coffee table and held her hands. "you want me. I love that you want me. But I still think that you deserve better." He held up a hand to silence the protest that she was about to start. "you didn't deserve the letter but you do deserve what Dylan was talking about. You deserve…doors. Reliability. Consideration. just better." He took a breath and paused momentarily "and, no matter how lame it is, you deserved prom."

She laughed silently in realization and lent in to kiss him. he pulled back a few moments later. "now I know there is no lane. But I thought you could put on a nice dress. I have the jacket, you've got the flower. We can put the lame CD in." he paused to pull a flask out of a pocket "we can even spike some punch" he commented somewhat jokingly as he shook the flask gently from side to side. "we can get some food or we can go out – depending on what you're up to and what's around. And I thought …if you want – once the lame CD's done with we could get a few movies or something."

She felt her self tear up at what Jess was doing and almost jumped into another kiss. After she pulled away she smiled and walked to her room stopping at the door "theres a pizza place not to far away – basically turn right and walk off campus. Why don't you go get us a few while I get dolled up?"

Jess nodded and begun to get up "I can do that."

Hey guys – like I said its short but its something. Tell me what you think. Thanks for reading.
