Do Over Take Eight: Some things are just hard to let go
"You know what? Why don't you go off with John, Jack, whatever his name is?"
"It's Jess" I say as I begin heading out of the pub.
"Where are you going?! I brought you!" he yells out to me.
And I stop in my tracks "I'm leaving Logan without you" my voice wasn't shaky. It was certain. I knew the decision I was making. I felt the cold air of that October night hit me. And I began walking trying to think how I was going to leave. It was too late for a bus. And a cab would charge a fortune. Then just around the corner there he was. His back against the car smoking a cigarette. I bit my lip and got closer.
"I thought you would've quit that habit by now"
He smirked at me "Some things are just hard to let go"
"Yeah?" I asked getting a little closer. He looked so different. It was still Jess. But I just couldn't put my finger on it. I don't know how the years passed and yet every time he made me nervous and excited all in one. I hear him respond to me yeah. We stopped and stared at each other. Just finally taking in. That after all this time we were really in front of each other. I finally break the silence.
"Do you think you could take me home?"
"Yeah Sure" he begins throwing his cigarette on the ground and putting it out.
"I mean home home"
He rubs his mouth "Ah I'm not sure if I'm allowed in Stars Hollow."
"I promise I'll protect you from Taylor" I smile.
"Well as long as I have a bodyguard I guess I can risk it"
We got into the car and this time the silence didn't seem inviting. It was awkward. He finally speaks
"I'd put the radio but it broke and stayed on this station that just plays your top music."
"Ah so your Chris Browns and Rihannas"
"Yeah like people can't discover other music that doesn't require a hip hop beat"
I nod "Well maybe we'll get lucky" he said I guess trying to drown out the silence. Then pushes the button. Now the car was being blared with the current popular song sweeping 2006. The Frays How to save a life
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
He pushes the radio off and I say "Guess we werent"
"Weren't what?"
"Lucky...with the radio station"
"Right"
We finally make it to my mom's house. Well my house. Not a house. My home. I had missed it and suddenly became very nostalgic over it. Then the nerves kicked in what was I going to say to my mom. As I sat there I realized Jess was already opening the door for me. Jess was opening the door for me?! This night had been a whirlwind.
"Well I guess I should go"
"Okay"
"Are you..um...going to be in town or the area a little longer?"
"I could be"
"Maybe you could convince Andrew to carry your books"
"I doubt it"
"Well I'll her you tomorrow. If your not busy"
"Okay Andrews it is. I might have to block out the author. The others might never pick it up"
"Well I doubt that highly. We're curious folks us star hollowins"
"Spoken like a true townie"
"Well I have to show my true colors sometimes"
"Very Cyndi Lauper of you"
"Well I should go before you begin telling me your undying love for Madonna"
"What?"
"With that sort of reference I don't know what to think."
He smirks and I smile. "I guess I should let you go"
"Well see you on the flip side"
"Bye Rory"
And although I didn't want this Jess time to end. Something told me there would be more as I watched him drive away. In his beat up old car. Somethings hadn't changed and that felt nice. I knock the door hoping for a welcoming welcome home. Because the situation with my mother and I needed some desperate reconstruction.
