What if Rory hadn't said no when Jess came to her dorm and asked her to run away with him? All rights go to the wonderful creators of Gilmore Girls (not me). I am just borrowing the characters and details of my favorite show for a little fun :)

[COMPLETE] Jess Mariano is injured, an injury no one really knows how to help with except doctors. **Gilmore Girls fanfic. Sorry the summery isn't good. First Gilmore Girls fanfic, have some mercy.**

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.
