Title: I Tried to Get Back to You
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls or anything associated with it.
A/N: This is my first fan fiction on this site, so I'm hoping I can figure out how this website works! I am going to make this slightly similar to another story called Shivery on this site, but it won't be exactly like it. Okay well in this story, it follows the show up until Rory goes to Yale. (This is a RJ).
Rory was home for the weekend and she was in her room reading her favorite book, Oliver Twist. Her thoughts weren't on the book, though. They were on Jess. She reanalyzed the events that led up to his departure yet again.
"It doesn't make sense!" She said out loud.
Lorelai stuck her head into Rory's room.
"What doesn't make sense, babe?" She asked, with confusion.
"Oh nothing," Rory replied, "I was just thinking out loud, that's all."
"About?" Lorelai prodded.
"Jess," Rory said quietly.
"Oh, okay," Lorelai said with sympathy, "Well I'm going to Luke's can I bring you anything?"
"Coffee," Rory said with a smile.
"You got it sweets," Lorelai answered with a laugh.
After Lorelai left Rory tried to concentrate on Oliver Twist. There was a knock on the door about twenty minutes later. Rory knew her mom forgot her keys again, and she was a little thankful for the interruption. Although she had been reading for 3 hours she was only on chapter 2.
Rory started griping at her mom as soon as she opened the door.
"Mom how many times do I have to remind you to grab your..." she started.
Rory stopped in mid-sentence when she saw who was at the door.
"Jess, " she said barely above a whisper. Jess ' clothes were torn, and it didn't look like he had shaved, or bathed for that matter, in quite a while. He looked weak, and the fierce look in his eyes was gone.
"Rory, I...." he started, but he broke down before he could finish.
Rory was shocked. She had never seen Jess cry, and she didn't think she ever would see him cry. He had hurt her, and although she thought she would be mad, she felt sorry for him. Rory wrapped her loving arms around Jess and let him cry into her shoulder.
"It's okay," she told him.
"No it's not, you should hate me after I left you," he said sadly.
"I could never hate you, even though I tried," she replied with a smile.
Jess attempted a weak smile, but he was still tired and very fatigued. They walked into the house and they sat on the couch. Jess was feeling a little ashamed for crying like a wimp, so he just stared at his hands. Rory sensed this and she lifted his chin with her hand.
"It's okay Jess, you don't have to tell me what's wrong, but if you want to I would like to know," she said.
Jess looked at this girl, the girl he loved and he couldn't believe how nice she was being after he had been such a jerk to her.
"God, it's just... I can't," he told her.
"Why not Jess?" she asked.
He looked down at his hands again.
"Jess how did you get that bruise on your face?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"You can't hear this, it's... it's.... not for you to hear," he explained.
"Oh please Jess, just tell me what happened!" Rory said exasperated.
Jess leaned in and kissed Rory passionately. Rory knew something was wrong, but she also knew that he would tell her what happened when he was ready. They started making out when all of a sudden Jess stopped.
"Rory," he said, "I have to leave again."
"Oh," was all she could say.
"Come with me!" he asked her, and his eyes started to get their mischievous glint back.
"What," Rory replied stunned, "I... I... can't, I have college, and my mom. I...."
"It's okay Rory," he interrupted, "I don't know why I said that, of course you can't go, that's no life for you. You're better than that."
That made Rory a little angry, and she also wanted to go. She loved Jess with all her heart, and she wanted to go with him.
"Alright Jess," she said with a smirk, "Let's go."
Jess couldn't hide the shock from his face.
"What?" he questioned.
Rory replied, "You heard me, let's go!"
"Okay, if you're sure," Jess said slowly.
Rory deeply kissed him to show him how sure she was.
Rory heard the keys in the door and she ushered Jess into her bedroom.
"Hi sweets, finally give up on the book," Lorelai said as she walked in.
"Oh yeah, it was too hard to focus," she said.
"Okay babe, here's your coffee and Willy Wonka!" Lorelai exclaimed holding up her findings.
"You know Mom, I'm kind of tired so I think I'll just go to bed now," Rory replied.
Lorelai was surprised because Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was their favorite movie.
"Oh okay honey, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Sweet dreams," she told her daughter.
"Yeah tomorrow," Rory said, knowing that she would be gone by tomorrow.
Rory walked into her room and closed the door behind her. Jess was laying on her bed obviously asleep. Rory wondered what happened to him, and why he had to leave again. She was glad she was going to be with him though. She laid down next to Jess and put her head on his chest.
"Rory," Jess said sleepily.
"Yeah," Rory answered sleepily.
"I tried to get back to you," he replied.
"I know, baby. I know," she said with a smile.
"I love you," he told her.
"I love you too," Rory said.
"So do you want to go?" Jess asked her.
"Well, we should wait until my mom goes to bed. Where are we going to go?" she replied.
"We'll go somewhere we can be together and no one can hurt us," he answered.
"Hurt us? Jess who wants to hurt us?" she asked concerned.
"Uh... No one baby. Just go to sleep and we can leave in a few hours," he answered.
"Okay," Rory said.
They fell asleep together and they couldn't wait to see where fate would lead them to next.
A/N: Okay well that's the edited chapter, I got a very good review, and now I changed the chapter to go a little slower, and I changed the ending a lot. Please R&R because you make my story better when you do! I listen to what people say, but flames are just mean, so please phrase your reviews kindly.
