Everyone just sat at the table staring at Rory and the ring. She just smiled at it and put it down. Everyone was looking at her waiting for her to say something.
"That was nice of him a little late but nice" She put the card back and just looked at everyone. She knew what she needed to do she needed to talk to Jess. She got up without saying a word and headed out the door.
"Where is she going?" Everyone could see the look of pain in Finns eyes and it was hurting them too.
"I think she is going to take care of this little problem." Lorelai walked around the table and gave Finn a hug. Knowing that today was going to be a rough day Lorelai planned a movie night to get everyones mind off of this. Rory knew where to find Jess and she needed to talk to him. She went back to the place where it all started the bridge. Just like she thought he was there. She walked up to him and sat beside him with out a word. They both sat in silence until Rory broke it.
"Thank you the ring was beautiful." She smiled at him when he looked at her.
"Your welcome. I've had it all these years and I knew I always wanted to give it to you." He turned so he was now facing her.
"I'm sorry for running but you know me" She gave me a little laugh. "Its just I never thought I would see you again and the past few months have been crazy for me and my emotions are all over the place. I shouldn't have yelled at you well I should have but not about everything that has happened. You meant so much to me and you still do. It broke me when you left and it took be a long time to be ok with you being gone. I was at peace with it and then I saw you today and for a moment it everything that I worked hard on building was gone." Before she could continue he cut her off.
"Rory I know what I did was so wrong I can never say sorry enough and I want to be with you and I want to try again if you want to" He smiled at her hopefully. "I have changed so much and it's was all because of you I wanted to be better for you." It was now Rorys turn to smile.
"That is sweet Jess but there is something I need to say. When I first saw you everything came flooding back making me miss you like crazy. But I can't be with you everytime we try I get hurt and I don't wanna hurt anymore but mostly there's Finn." Jess gave her a questioning look. "Finn is one of my best friends who was there for me everyday in the hospital and everyday after I was home. He's here with me this weekend with our other friends." She took a breath and looked him in the eyes. He knew it was coming and she could already see the pain in his eyes. "We are together and I'm happy. He makes me happy and we have a good chance at something here. I think I'm in love with him" Once the love word came out she seen his head drop. She placed her hands on his cheeks and brought his face level with hers. "Jess you will always have a place in my heart and I will always love you but not the same way as I use to. If its alright with you I want to be friends." He smiled at her and brushed the hair out of her face.
"I will always love you too and I would rather have you in my life as a friend and nothing at all." He pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back. Once she pulled back she brought her hands to her neck and undid her necklace.
"I have worn this everyday for the last six years I got it just before you left because it reminds me of you" She handed him her necklace that had a small book hanging from it. She closed his fingers around it and kissed his hand. "I have your ring and now you have my necklace." She gave him a sweet smile and then noticed that his eyes were tearing up. She had never seen Jess show emotion like this until today which made this that much harder. She gave him one last hug and went to stand up but he grabbed her hand. She knew she couldn't walk away with out doing it more one time. She cupped his face in her hands and gave him a sweet soft kiss.
"I love you Jess"
"I love you too Rory" She smiled up at her his tears now falling. He knew he had to let go that she wasn't his anymore but it was still hard. She got up and walked away fighting back her own tears and trying her best not to look back. Rory walked back to her house feeling ok it was hard but she was ok. She couldn't help but smile to herself thinking about Finn being at her house right now waiting for her. This thought caused her to speed up her walk until she was running. She made it to her house and she saw him sitting there on her swing. Her smile quickly grew and she ran faster towards him. Finn saw her running towards the house and stood up to see what the matter was. She saw him stand up and she ran into his arms.
"I'm so sorry for today for the crying and the leaving but I had to let him go and he's gone its just me and you. Finn I love you" Finn couldn't help but smile down at her as her head was buried into his chest.
"I know you had to let go and I'm not mad I was worried about how you were doing and I wanted you to be ok. I love you too Rory" He lifted her chin so he could give her a sweet kiss.
