It was the night before the concert, I was picking out an outfit but nothing seemed appealing. I huffed and threw myself on my bed before there was a knock on my door surprising me.

"Come in." I sat up on my bed looking at my room covered in clothing.

Lorelai walked in and stared at the mess.

"Wow, did a tornado pass by?" She joked.

"Please help, I don't know what to wear tomorrow."

"Let's see." She said walking around and picking up pieces of clothing.

"Here." She threw an outfit at me. It was a sheer lace tight t shirt, a black mini skirt, black belt and a red leather bag.

"Wear that with a dark red bra, black sheer tights, leather jacket and doc martens with your hair straightened." She said.

"You're a life saver." I smiled before she walked out.

I tried on the outfit and it was really, really cute. Lorelai was the greatest aunt ever.

I fell asleep smiling ready for the day ahead.

I jumped out of bed the second I woke up and started getting ready for my shift at Luke's.

I threw on an oversized navy crew neck jumper and some baggy blue jeans with my white and blue sneakers.

I quickly put my hair in a messy bun and slapped on some mascara realising I was going to be late.

I ran downstairs and grabbed my leather jacket racing out the door.

The ground was starting to frost and the breeze was cold. My favourite season was near.

I got to Luke's as quickly as I could being only 2 minutes late.

"You're late." Luke said giving me a cup of coffee.

"Luke it's 8:30 in the morning cut me some slack." I sighed taking the coffee cup in my hand.

"Morning." Jess smiled kissing me happily.

Luke scoffed. "Nope not here."

I smiled at Jess keeping eye contact before getting to work.

It was 14:30 and my shift had just ended, I headed home to take a nap and then get ready.

I slept till 18:00 since I had to leave at 19:00.

I straightened my hair like Lorelai had suggested and out some eye liner in my water line making my eyes pop.
I was happy with my outfit and was looking at myself in the mirror when I heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it!" I yelled walking down the stairs.

"Hey." I smiled opening the door. Jess stood there ogling my body speechless.

"Jess." I said.

"Sorry, you are breathtaking." He smirked placing his hands on my waist and kissing me softly. I smiled into the kiss and he did too.

"You ready to go?" He asked.

"One sec." I smiled before grabbing my jacket and bag.

"Bye!" I yelled closing the door.

"After you." Jess smirked. He grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers as we walked to the bus station.

"Can you tell me where we're going?" I asked.

He chuckled and reached into his jacket pocket pulling out the tickets and handing them to me.

I read them carefully before seeing the band name.

"The Cranberries!" I shrieked alarming everyone on the bus.

Jess laughed. "I remember when I first came to Stars Hollow and we were at that dinner at your house and you showed me your room. I saw the poster on your door, the CDs you have. I thought you maybe might like the Cranberries."

"Aw Jess thank you. This is so sweet." I hugged him. He hugged me back kissing my cheek.

We hopped off the bus and headed to the arena.

"I'm so excited." I smiled.

"I'm glad." He chuckled squeezing my hand.

The concert was the best. I smiled so much my face nearly froze like that.
As the final song they played dreams, my favourite.

"Jess!" I shrieked excitedly squeezing his hand. We held eye contact and leaned into a soft kiss. Our lips pressing against each other in a familiar way. I pulled away resting my head on his shoulder.

I was falling in love.
