One last try

Rory remembers the first time she saw Jesse stroll into Stars Hollow.

She remembers wondering why anyone would move to this small town when he was so obviously meant for a bigger city with less town fundraisers and more leather jackets hanging off of motorcycles.

She remembers their first kiss outside of Sookie and Jackson's wedding.

She remembers the heartache that made a home in her chest cavity every time he left. With or without a goodbye.

She remembers the notes in her books and the late nights waiting for his call, leaving her to wonder why she wasn't enough.

But now, standing in Luke's diner, she is wondering if he still loves her. Or even remotely cares about her.

And if he'll love her through her pregnancy. Or if this will just be another time where he turns and runs.
