AU: Ok, hey guys, this is a GG fic. Just so you know, I am completely in love with Jess and Rory. I mean it, I am the biggest Literati Junkie there ever was.
So, in this fic, everything is how it was, in the episode with Liz' wedding. Except: Rory never called Dean, Rory was alone at her dorm when Jess showed up, and, in the future, Rory and Dean never, EVER, sleep together. That's so gross, yuck, I HATE Dean with a passion.
Told from Jess' POV
Okay. I am going to do it. I am. This time, right now. I know, I have been walking up to her door and turning around and walking away for the last two hours now, but, this time, I am going to do it. I am going to get Rory Gilmore back. I love her, and she loves me, at least, she did. God, I pray she still does.
I knocked. And waited. Seconds, slow, agonizing seconds crawled by, until I heard the sound of metal on metal, and the door opened a crack. I put on a smile, a real smile, not a smirk, and looked at her. "Rory..."
"Oh God, Jess, what…"
"Rory, no, just listen. Just, please Rory, please, just listen okay? Just hear me out. Please…"
"Fine. Come on." She walked back into her dorm, towards a stack of boxes, leaving the door open. I followed her in. She stopped in front a few boxes of books. On top, I saw Oliver Twist. She turned around and started up with the rambling. "Why won't you leave me alone? You won't go away."
"Rory I…" I started. God, this is a lot harder than it was in the hall an hour ago.
"What?"
"Come with me." There, I said it. I said it. I knew she was going to say no, just looking at her. I knew it. I could tell with that kind of thing.
"Jess…what? What?" She was confused.
"Come away with me."
"What? Where?"
"I don't know," I said, staring at the boxes, "away."
"Jess, are you okay? Are you crazy?"
"Probably. Come on, don't think about it. Do it. Come with me."
"I…" she let out a few nervous laughs, "I cant do that. You know that."
"You don't think you can, but you can. You can do whatever you want, Rory."
"That's not what I want."
" It is," I knew it was, "I know you."
"No you don't, you don't." She tried to move away, to go away, but I wouldn't let her.
I grabbed her shoulders, turning he to face me. "But you're packed, you're stuff is all in boxes. It's perfect, you're ready," I paused, thinking, how to convince her. I needed to convince her. "And I'm ready. I'm ready for this, you can count on me now. I know you couldn't count on me before, but you can now, you can!" My voice cracked, and I could tell she knew.
"How do I know that? How do I know I can believe that?"
"Rory, I love you. I told you before, and I meant it. I know, I know, I was stupid, God, I was so stupid. Rory, you are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I can't let you out of my life, not again. I'm not anything without you. I cant stop thinking about you. Please Rory, please, give me a second chance, I wont let you down. I can't, not this time." I could barely see her. I was crying. God, I was crying. The tears, they weren't falling down or anything, but everything was all blurry. I closed my eyes really tightly, thinking, thinking of how I could convince her. "Rory, you always told me, you used to tell me how you wanted to do something crazy, something impulsive. Please, I wont make you that girl again. I wont be the boyfriend who treats his girlfriend badly, I'll be good. I'll make it up to you." I took a deep breath, my eyes were still closed.
I heard a sigh, followed by a long pause. "Okay." It was barely audible, I almost wasn't sure she said it. I opened my eyes.
"Okay?"
She looked at my shoulder. "Ok Jess. Ok. Your right, everyone deserves a second chance. One month. You have one month to show me that you can do this, but, Jess, I'm not going to be that girl. If you try to make me that girl, I'm leaving, and there's not such thing as a third chance."
Wow. She said okay. She's coming away with me. I never once thought…. I never thought she'd come. "Wow. Okay. Okay, well, uh, here, let me get these boxes. Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know."
I got all the boxes in the car. There was only one left, Rory was in her dorm, making sure she had everything. I walked up to her. I gave her a tentative hug, not knowing if it was okay or not, but, when she squeezed me back, I relaxed a bit. God, I missed her. "Rory?"
"Yeah Jess?"
"I still love you."
"Wow….I, uh, I think I still love you too." I smiled. "But, Jess, that still doesn't mean you don't owe me. You still have to prove this to me."
"I know. I so owe you. I';; take you wherever you want." I stopped down, grabbing the last box in one hand, and grabbing her hand with my other hand. "Whatever you want Rory, whatever, wherever. We can go wherever you want to go. I don't care. Just let me go with you."
She nodded. We walked out to the car. I put the box in the car, and opened her car door for her, kissing her hand after she got in. She giggled a bit. I smirked. I ran around the other side and got in.
"Wow," I said, starting the ignition, "Just like old times, huh?"
"Yeah, Jess, but better. Better."
"Yeah, better. I'm better now." I turned the wheel and started to back out.
"So, Rory, where to?"
EEK! Yall what'd you think? Was it good. God, review, please. I live for Literatis, so I really, really want it to be good. Tell me if it's cheesy, or if the writing is really sucky. Oh, Amy Sherman Paladino owns everything.
