That afternoon Rory opened the front door and walked into an unusually
silent house.
"Mom!" She called. No one answered except for the echo of her own voice. Lorelai must have gone to Luke's for a quick cup of coffee and a flirt. Rory laughed at her mother's ignorance. It was rather amusing how she and Luke flirted.
Rory walked into her room and started studying for her history test for tomorrow. She silently scolded herself for not studying earlier. She was usually on top of these things and would study a week in advance.

Rory looked up from her books to the clock. It read 6:13. Wow, she thought, had it really been that long? Her mother was still not home and she was getting hungry. She got up from her desk and walked into the kitchen, her footsteps echoing in the still empty house.
On the counter was a note written very sloppily. It read:
Rory, I am so sorry that I missed last night and I really do love you with all my heart. I can't tell you how sorry I am for everything. Please tell all my friends that I love them and that I regret this, but it was too late. I don't know what I was thinking. Just know that I love you and that I truly am sorry. Love, Mom
Rory was completely confused by now. She knew that her mother was sorry and loved her, but 'it was too late?' What was that supposed to mean?
She decided to check the house before going to the diner. After searching the downstairs thoroughly, she walked up the seemingly creaky stairs into her mother's room. What she saw on the floor stunned her and before she could even think, she found herself clutching the lifeless body of her best friend as tightly as possible. She didn't care about the blood staining the carpet.
