Chapter 2 It was Rory's last day in Washington. She spent most of her summer writing letters to Jess, none of them had been sent however. She was packing as her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Rory!" Lorelai shouted

"Long time no talk chica!" she responded

Lorelai and Rory only talked on the phone the whole summer a few times. Mostly, they wrote letters to one another.

"I'm so glad I'm coming home tomorrow!" Rory exclaimed

"It's been forever!" Lorelai replied

"I can't wait to see you, and Luke, and Sookie and Jackson, and Babette and Maury, and Miss Patty and."

"Jess?" Lorelai asked

"Yea. How is he? What's he been up to?" Rory asked, almost not wanting to know the answer.

"He's waitin' for ya hun, but are you sure this whole Jess thing is a good idea?" she asked

"Mom, I love him, and while I know that you two didn't exactly get off on a good start, please just give him a chance." Rory pleaded

"He's a troublemaker Rory." She said sternly

"Mom. Please just try to get to know him? Give him another chance?"

"Okay, I'll try, but he does something wrong, and we're back to where we started." She warned

"Okay mom, I have to go, there's a farewell party kinda going on, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow!" Lorelai echoed, as Rory hung up.



Next Morning

Lorelai had picked Rory up at the airport, and after their joyful reunion, they were almost in Stars Hollow.

"Excited?" Lorelai asked

"Excited. Nervous." She replied biting her nail.

"Hey! I have an idea, let's go to Luke's for a celebration lunch!" Lorelai exclaimed

"At ten in the morning?" she asked

"Okay, coffee now, lunch later. Better?" she asked

"Sounds good. I'm going to get my coffee to go though. I want to go read my new book." She held up a new book

"But you'll eat lunch with me, right?" Lorelai asked looking over at Rory

"Of course!"

They parked in front of the diner.

"Hi Luke!" Rory exclaimed as she opened the door and walked to the counter.

"Rory! How was Washington?" he asked

"Washington was good." She replied "Um, where's."

"Jess?" he asked

"Yea."

"He went out, you can try to find him if you want."

"okay."

"Coffee?" he asked

"To go please."

Rory knew exactly where Jess would be. She grabbed her backpack and her coffee and walked over to the bridge, where she saw Jess reading, dangling his feet into the water. She ran down and sat next to him.

"Hi." She said breathlessly.

"Rory. Your home." He said not looking up from his book.

Rory's heart sank. He was upset with her.

"Jess? Look at me. What did I do?" she asked

"I'm just a little confused Rory. You tell me you love me, and then you leave for the summer, which I was fine with, willing to wait for you. You didn't call, didn't even write to me."

"Jess, I tried to write to you. Nothing sounded right. I wrote at least 50 letters." She explained. She opened her bag and dumped out the letters.

"There." She said as she stood up. "I'll be at home when your ready to talk." With that, she stood up and walked home. She went to her room and sat on the bed, a tear slid down her cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jess looked at the pile of letters in front of him. He picked one up and read it.

Dear Jess, Washington is okay, I wish I were home though. Paris is driving me kinda nuts. I really miss everyone, especially you. My feelings for you haven't changed. I'm sorry I had to leave right after I told you. Hopefully, you told the truth when you said you'd wait for me. I miss you, and I love you. If I can work up the courage, I'll send this. Love, Rory

He read the next few letters, which were similar to the first. He collected the letters, and walked up to the Gilmore house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rory heard a tap on the window. She turned around to see Jess outside. She opened the window and wiped her tears away.

"Sh, don't cry." Jess wrapped her in a warm hug.

Rory found herself falling into his tight embrace, her tears subsiding. When she looked up, she found herself looking into his deep brown eyes.

"I waited for you Rory. I love you." He said as he leaned down and kissed her.

At first, their kiss was slow and sweet. Slowly, it became more fierce, as if they could never separate again. His hands moved along her body, her hands became entangled in his hair. They broke apart, in need of oxygen.

"Don't ever leave me." She whispered

"There's no chance of that happening." He replied
