Time Frame: Lorelai had just died and the town had just buried her Rory is back at home sitting on the floor of her room when she hear's the front door open

''Rory'' a voice call's but Rory doesn't answer

Lane walk's to Rory's room and se's her sitting on the floor

''Oh Rory hey you ok?'' she asks Rory

Rory shake's her head

Lane sit's on the ground next to her

''It's okay to miss her Rory'' Lane tell's her

''I mean as hard as it is to be sad about it......don't you think maybe it's harder not to be?'' Lane asks her

''You don't understand'' Rory says

''Rory...'' Lane says ''I can't'' Rory says ''It hurts too much'' Rory says ''I know'' Lane says

''No you don't know'' Rory says

''I just want to feel good and happy and alive'' Rory says

''Because if I feel alive then it doesn't seem like she's dead'' Rory says

''And if I'm not sad then it proves that I'm not like her'' Rory says

''Rory you don't have to prove that to anybody'' Lane tell's her

''and you have something else too'' Lane tell's her

''what?'' Rory question's her

''you have me and I'm not going anywhere and I'm not going to let you go anywhere okay?'' Lane question's her

''thank you'' Rory says

''come here'' Lane says and pull's her into a hug and hold's her and comfort's her
