Chapter 1: Hate and Love

Disclaimer: I own nothing. sigh

A/N: Okay, I know that many people dont like the stories that have Lorelai dying in them. But, hopefully you will like this story. It is very dramatic, just warning you. Oh, and this is a Literati. Please give me your opinion on this, review! And I dont just want something like, good, or please continue. I want some of the things you really like, and the things you didn't like. Or, maybe ideas for future chapters. I may not use them, but I may. You never know, review!

Rory sat in the empty room staring at her desk. Everything seemed to get worse and worse by the second. Luke said to give it time and she will be okay. But, she wouldn?t be. And she knew it. The funny thing was... that she was completely happy that morning. She felt like nothing could get her down... but that was when she was alive. A small sob escaped her throat.

Rory walked into the small diner with a huge smile on her face. She found her mom sitting on in front of Luke, on the counter. She was asking him for the whole menu, and he was telling her that it was too much food.

"Luke, there is no such thing as too much food." Lorelai insisted.

"Yes there is. And I don't want you to throw up all over my counter." Luke mumbled.

"Oh, so you're only worried about your counter? Not me, who could die from having too much food?" Lorelai asked, pretending to be hurt. Then, she saw her daughter was sitting next to her. "Daughter of mine! Where did you come from?"

"Umm, well, you told me that I came from the store. But, I'm starting to doubt that." Rory smiled. Luke rolled his eyes, then walked away. "Anyways, I have good news."

"Aww, man, I was hoping for great news." Lorelai sighed.

"Okay, the news are great."

"But, really great is even better."

"Okay, really great."

"But..."

"Mom." Rory warned. Lorelai smiled, she had succeeded to annoy her daughter.

"Alright, I will leave my witty comments until you finish your really great news." Lorelai stated. Rory smiled, then moved a little closer to her mom.

"Okay, well, I got a call today."

"God?"

Rory looked at her with her death glare and Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Drum roll, please." Lorelai made a pretend drum roll on the counter. "I got offered a job!" Lorelai squealed and hugged her daughter tightly. "Are you happy?"

"Oh, yeah! You are great, hun. And you deserve this so much. You have no idea." Lorelai smiled. But, then realized something. "But, will you have to quit school?"

"Umm, no. I will take classes over the internet. They said that I'll be able to do my work, specially when I'm in Rome. The schedule is the lightest then..." Rory smiled, but Lorelai looked puzzled.

"Rome? You're going to Rome?"

"Not just Rome, but Europe. They have different offices all over there."

"You're going to move to Europe?" Lorelai felt a huge weight on her shoulders. Rory nodded. "That's really far away... Rory, what about us? And what about Stars Hollow? And most importantly, what about me?"

"Mom, you've lived on your own before." Rory sighed. "Actually, your living on your own now. I'm just coming home for weekends."

"I don't like this, Rory!" Lorelai exclaimed. "You living in Europe? And what's all this about taking classes over the internet?"

"Hilary Duff takes classes over the internet for Harvard. And look at how smart she is..."

"Hilary Duff sings about rain." Lorelai yelled. "And besides, Hilary Duff is not Rory Gilmore. She doesn't have people that she needs to stay with. Rory, you're abandoning me, and you're abandoning this town!"

"You're overreacting, mother." Rory had called her mother. And Lorelai felt tears behind her eyes.

"Alright, well, I'll call you later. I have to go somewhere to think this out. I can't be in here while you're like this." Lorelai cried. She ran outside of the diner. Rory just looked down at her coffee cup and sighed. She didn't know what to do.

Rory felt her stomach tighten up. She suddenly felt nauseous. Rory ran into the bathroom, and threw up by the toilet. She just rested her head on the bath tub and let her cheeks and her eyes turn red. She felt flushed. Then, she silently sobbed until she couldn't see anything because the tears were in the way. She didn't get up, she just looked straight at the wall and could feel herself going mentally insane.

Rory barely opened her eyes. But, just by smelling where she was, she could tell that she was not home. If she still had a home. She didn't want to find out where she was. But, she heard some crash and she opened her eyes widely.

She found herself in Luke's apartment. What the hell was she doing there? And in Jess? old bed? It was softer than her bed, and the sheets smelled refreshingly clean. She saw that Luke was looking at her. "What's going on?" Rory mumbled.

"You fainted." Luke sighed. Rory gave him a little, 'Oh.' Luke frowned on her. "I found you in absolutely completely a mess." Rory gave him a shrug. "Look, Rory, we are all very upset about you're mom dying. But, you don't have to..."

"Stop!" Rory exclaimed. "Thanks for cleaning me up. I'm leaving." Rory stood up, and found herself in something that looked like sweat pants and some kind of old T- shirt.

"Bye." Rory tried to leave, but Luke stopped her.

"You're not going anywhere, Rory." Luke exclaimed. "You stay with me. You are not in good conditions. I'm not letting you fall off the face of the earth. You are sick, Rory. And in no condition to stay by yourself in that huge house."

"Luke, I'm not a little kid! I can take care of myself. Now let me go." Rory tried to get past him. But, Luke held her against her will.

"You can't go."

"Leave me be!"

Luke shook his head and picked her up, dragged her to the bed. "What are you doing?" She asked. Luke dropped her on the bed, and put the blankets on top of her.

"Rory, this is for your own good. You're mother would have wanted this."

"How do you know what my mother would have wanted? Huh? You don't know what she wanted for me!" Rory sobbed. "Leave me alone. I just want to get out of this freaking town. Away from you! And the diner! I hate her! She left me alone, she said that she would never leave me. But, she lied. Why did she lie to me? I thought she loved me? She told me that she would never leave me. Never." Rory sobbed. Luke cradled her in his arms. He hugged her tightly and she cried on to his shirt. "I hate her..." She kept on whispering over and over again. "I hate her for leaving me." Luke kissed her forehead and nodded.

"I'm right here, Ror. And I'm not going anywhere." Luke sighed.
