Delilah Gilmore, the forgotten twin.
Delilah knows exactly what it's like to be pawned off on an unwitting family member. Tyler Masonis, on the other hand, knows what it's like to be that family member.
Emily's younger brother has raised that girl since she was eight years old, so when she she turns sixteen, he makes a decision.
To bring the girl to the place she needs to be. To the place her mother lives.
And maybe, just maybe, she'll find more than she was ever expecting along the way. Maybe she'll find love in a broken boy from New York.
This is the story of Delilah Gilmore and Jess Mariano, and their cosmic love story.

As she grapples with her identity and place in a town steeped in tradition, Alessia finds herself drawn to Jess Mariano, whose brooding demeanor mirrors her own rebellious spirit. Their evolving friendship amidst tangled relationships and unspoken desires complicates Alessia's path, challenging her to defy expectations and forge her own way.

She partied like it's a profession. And she dropped out of high school before junior year was half over. To top it all off, she's seventeen years old and five months pregnant - a walking cautionary tale with chipped black nail polish and a sharp tongue. So when her mother finally snapped - worn down by the late nights, the police calls, the growing bump Ashley refused to talk about - she didn't yell. She didn't cry. She just packed a single suitcase, added Jess's name to the return address, and sent them both away. Now, Ashley and her twin brother are on a one-way bus ride to Stars Hollow, Connecticut - the postcard-perfect town their mother once called home, full of cozy sidewalks and nosy neighbors and exactly none of the chaos Ashley is used to. She doesn't know it yet, but the town that seems too small for secrets might just be the one place she can't hide. And maybe-just maybe-that's exactly what she needs.

On Jess and Tessa's 10th birthdays, the twins' mother, Liz Danes came home from her date with some nutjob of a boyfriend, saying how he gave her a great idea. Jess wasn't expecting to hear the words, "Your sister is going to be moving to Connecticut with my brother, and your uncle, Luke." Nobody in any world outside of the Danes-Mariano family would ever be able to understand why on Earth Liz Danes would want to send her only daughter away, and separate her from her twin brother, but, hey!, that's just Liz Danes for you; famous for being the all-over-the-place wackjob that everyone in New York City knows her as. She'll never change... or will she? Tessa and Jess keep in contact through phone calls as often as possible, but eventually it just got impossible, since they both have their own lives to live. Although, no matter what, they always called each other to celebrate their birthdays together, over the phone. 7 years later, when Jess Mariano is 17, and starting to run with the wrong crowds, Liz can think of nothing else to do, but to simply send him to live with his uncle, as well. But is it really that simple? We'll see... Seasons 1-??? ~~Nat #5 in yale! #28 in Luke Danes #6 in Liz Danes
