Ok, I just read my last chapter, there is a lot of mistakes in it, but I don't feel like correcting it. I hope you guys still review for me, and it hurts cuz, well, I don't get a lot like other fics. I know this fic isn't the best, but still, I would like to feel appreciated for it. Well I hope you guys don't hate me for these next few chapters, but I promise, it'll be a TRORY.

Rory was standing at the podium ready to give her eulogy. The McKnightly's gave a moving speech about their son and the good times. Some anecdotes of him growing up, his marriage to Rory, which brought tears to close friends and family. They talked about how proud they were of him and who he grew up to be, and how glad, although his life ended short, he found everything that life could offer - a beautiful, loving wife, a great career he loved and friends who care about him so much. She stood there for few seconds taking deep breathes. She saw at the back of the room, her old love, Tristan. He's here. I'm ready to bury my husband, and an old boyfriend still makes my heart jump. It isn't right. Rory then felt great guilt and remorse for not loving Mike as she should have. Or at least half as much as she loved Tristan. She felt tears in her eyes at the thought that Mike gave it his all to her, and she truly tried to love him the best she could, but she felt it wasn't enough.

"I want to thank you all for coming. I know you have busy lives, and this is, well a goodbye, to a man we knew and loved - Michael Thomas McKnightly, my...my...husband." Rory couldn't finish the thought that happy Mike was gone. "We married quite young. At 18, and I think to most of you who did attend our wedding, thought that it wouldn't last." Rory looked around the crowd, she could see in the eyes of her peers and some relatives that they had thought exactly as Rory described. "I don't know if he and I would have lasted another 10 years or more, but it did last for 5 years. We were best friends first, then husband and wife. He gave me so much joy when I was in despair, he gave me hope when I felt down. He encouraged when I felt low, and he gave me his all - his love, support and friendship. I don't think there is not many women who can say that their partner could be so patient, loving, a friend, lover and husband. He never once yelled at me, raised a hand or spoke harshly. He treated me like a queen who hung the moon. I am so honored that Mike loved me so much, because, I feel lucky to be loved by someone like Mike. If you really knew Mike, you'd know he's persona was bigger than life, yet he was humble. For the last week, I looked at the door several times hoping he'd walk in and smile, kiss me, hold me, and tell me how much he loved me, and how lucky he felt that he married a woman like me. We'd eat a light dinner on Friday nights, rent movies, pop some popcorn, eat tons of junkfood and sleep on the sofa. I missed that this week, and I will next week. On Saturday mornings, we'd take a walk around the park, eat a late brunch at Marche, drink coffee at Starbucks and head home to do some last minute work in our office. There is a lot of traditions and habits that he and I picked up together over the years, that was peaceful and enjoyable. Here today, I realized that he's never coming back, and he and I will never spend another moment together. I heard from my mom when I was a little girl, my fish had died, and she replied to me, 'Don't worry Rory. Dorothy Park,' my fish, 'is going to heaven to God where all the other fishys are. God only wants the best people and animals up there with him. God missed Dorothy Park, so He took her from us. She's safe, don't worry. Dry your tears honey.' So I guess I can take this context that God just wants Mike, because He takes the best people early. I'm really, going to miss him." Rory couln't hold her facade of strengths and broke down crying, walking away from the podium. All the while, at the back of the room, Tristan Dugray witness Rory's loss and pain.

She really loved Mike. What I have to do to her will make her hate me. There is no way out of this situation. I will inevitably make Rory hate me, and lose her more than ever. But at least I'm in her universe, and get to see her everyday. That's better than nothing. I'll take anything from her. Anything.

TBC.
