Disclaimer: I pretty much own nothing, and I like it that way… sort of

Facts you need to know for the story:

Rory is about to turn 16.

Her best friend, Matt, who's 17, and his little brother moved in with her a couple years ago because their father was abusive.

This follows the show plot of Rory/Tristan. Which means he left for military school and Rory hasn't seen him again.

I guess this story starts in the middle of Rory's sophomore year. She still has no idea what is going on with Tristan.

Rory and Dean broke up when Jess moved to town, and they were always just friends, especially because Lorelai and Luke finally started dating.

Lorelai had a brother, Grant. Emily and Richard pretty much disowned him when he failed out of high school in his junior year. He has a son named Josh.

Josh and Rory were best friends, but then Rory went to summer camp the summer before 9th grade, and when she came back, Josh was pretty much a jerk to her. She has no idea what happened.

In this story, everybody calls Rory "Leigh" except for her grandparents and her teachers.

Now read the story, and please review. I want to see what people think of my writings. Thanks

She didn't make it

"Rory? Honey?" Rory could hear her grandmother calling her from down the hall, but she didn't pick her head up from her hands or acknowledge the voice. "Rory, I need to talk to you." Rory knew what she was going to say, though. She didn't make it was all she could think. So she didn't bother looking up. She hadn't made it. She wasn't going to wake up, she wasn't going to come walking out that door. She wasn't going to get to see her graduate, and she wouldn't be at her sweet sixteen. She wouldn't get to see her drive her first car, she wouldn't get to see her crash it, either. She would never see any college acceptance letters, let alone rejection letters. She was never going to be at her wedding, or meet her kids. She didn't know what to do. What am I going to do?

"Grandma, not right now." Rory said when she felt her grandmother's hand on her shoulder. Her grandmother started to say something, but before Rory could make sense of it, her tears started to flow freely and she got up and walked away from the hospital waiting room.

Rory opened her phone and dialed the familiar number. It rang for a while before the answering machine picked up.

"It's Lorelai, and either I can't pick up the phone right now, I'm screening my calls, or I can't find the stupid thing. Whatever the reason, if you deserve to talk to the greatest person ever, I will call you back." Holy shit. I'm never going to hear her voice again. She really was the greatest person ever.

But Rory didn't skip a beat. "Hey mom. Or whoever found her cell phone. Um, it's me, Rory. I don't know what to say, I don't even know why I called, you're not going to get this message. Mom, I…" Rory had to pause because she was crying so hard by now. "Mom, you're… you, you died. I didn't know what to do, so I figured I would do what I always did. Call you. I know you won't get this message, and you can't help me, but I miss you. You only died five minutes ago and I miss you so much. I think I'm going to keep your cell phone just so I can listen to you voice message thing. Just so I can hear you." Jaym didn't want to end the call, but she knew it was pointless to keep rambling. "Anyways, Mom, I love you. I love you so much, and I don't know what to do right now." Rory just listened to the nothing coming from all around her. I've got to get away from here. "Bye." And with that she closed her phone, called a car, got in. Never wanting to be in that hospital again.

As soon as Rory was far away from the hospital, she had the car drop her off at the first park she saw and called her uncle. He picked up the phone after three rings.

"Hello?"

"Uncle Grant?" Rory said between sobs.

"Leigh? Leigh, what happened?" Grant said when he noticed his only niece was crying.

"She, Mom, she…Uncle Grant, she didn't make it." They were the only words Rory could find, she couldn't come out and say that her mom, her best friend, had died.

"She didn't make what? Honey, I need more words." I can't say it. It'll make it real. This can't be real. I've got to be dreaming. Grant couldn't make sense of what she was trying to tell him, but he could tell she was upset, so he knew it was something huge. He knew she didn't cry over just anything.

"Uncle Grant, she was in a car crash." Right then he knew what she was talking about and he didn't have any words. He just wanted to know where she was, and if she was okay.

"Where are you? I'm coming to get you." He didn't want her wandering around by herself when she was like this. He knew she wasn't with anyone, because she liked to be by herself when things happened.

"I'm in a park about a half hour west of you. Can you come and get me? I have to call Matt though." Rory said.

"Sure honey, I'll be right there." Grant said before he closed his phone. Then he played back the conversation in his head. His sister was dead. He didn't know what to do, but he knew he couldn't drive in this situation, so he called his son, Josh, and asked him to go get her. But he didn't know that that might only make the situation worse.

Let me know what you thought. In the next chapter, Josh comes to pick up Rory and finds everything out. Review please. I don't care if you hated it and want all my stories to die, just let me know what you think. Please and Thank you!
