A Rose For Rory
By Emily Carol
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: You really thought I owned Gilmore Girls? Are you crazy? I also sort of don't even own my title because I got the idea from a Lurlene McDaniel book called A Rose For Melinda but if you have read that book I would like to note that Rory does not get leukemia like Melinda in that book, in fact A Rose For Melinda and my story are pretty different. I do own Lacey.
Summary: Europe was great and now the Gilmore Girls are back to their normal lives. But Rory's first year at Yale doesn't go as planned when memories start rushing back. And then she takes the jump of her life.
Genre: General/Tragedy
Rating: PG for certain issues that are dealt with.
A/N- So even though I've only written one chapter and only got one review (from one of my VERY BEST FRIENDS CATIE [seriously, she's one of my best friends, known her since Kindergarten]) I'm going to write chapter two.
Okay, I wrote that a few days ago and never finished the chapter. I have 5 reviews now and honestly I want at least 5 new ones before chapter 3.

"It's big," Lorelai said.
"It's Yale," Rory said. "Actually it's a Yale dorm."
"So you think your roommate's shown up yet?" Lorelai asked her as they lugged boxes up the stairs in the dorm. Rory's room was on the second floor.
Opening the door Rory confirmed that her roommate had moved in. That was because a very tall and skinny blonde girl literally bounced off one of the beds and walked quickly over to Rory. "Hi," she said with a strong southern accent. "You must be Lorelai Gilmore. I'm Lacey Gibson."
"Yeah, I'm Lorelai," Rory said. "But I go by Rory, Lorelai's my mom."
"Oh, that's cool," Lacey said. "I'm from Washington D.C., what about you?"
"With that accent you're from D.C.?" Lorelai asked.
"Well I used to live in Georgia but my family moved to D.C. when I was six because my dad got a job offer to work with the president," Lacey explained.
"Oh," Lorelai said.
"I'm from Stars Hollow," Rory said. "It's right outside Hartford."
"Oh," Lacey said. "So you're not all that far from home are ya?"
"No, not really," Rory said. '22.8 miles' her brain told her. Hadn't Jess told her that? Yes, he had. Rory fought back tears. "I've gotta go get some more of my stuff."
"Okay," Lacey said. "I'm going to the dorm next door to see my friend so I'll see y'all later."
"Bye," Lorelai said. Rory gave her a wave.
Down at her car the dam broke and Rory let out a flood of tears.

"I'm leaving," Jess told his dad. They were at the table with Sasha and Lilly and Jimmy didn't look surprised.
"So soon?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah," Jess said.
"Where are you going?" Sasha asked. Jimmy defiantly didn't get the whole 'be responsible' thing.
"I'm going to go back," Jess said.
"To your mom?" Jimmy asked.
"To Rory," Jess said.
"Who's Rory?" Lilly asked.
"A friend," Jess said. He turned back to his dad. "I'm leaving tomorrow morning."
"How do you plan to get there?" Jimmy said.
"Who knows, I've got some money. And I can hitchhike," Jess said. He stood up and left that table before anyone could object.
Jess walked into his room and opened up his closet so he could start packing. Lilly was in there reading.
"Out," he said.
Lilly gave him a scowl and walked out of his room.

Rory stood in the dining hall not knowing where to go. Lacey didn't have any seats by her so that was a dud. Rory stood there dumbly and looked around the hall for an empty seat.
"Rory!" A familiar voice yelled out. A blonde haired girl was running towards her.
"Paris?" Rory said. "I didn't know you were coming to Yale."
"Well my parents are still mad about it but they'll get over that I didn't get into Harvard," Paris said. "Come on, you can sit by me."
Rory smiled at her friend.
"You seem different," Paris said.
"I broke up with Jess," Rory said. "After he moved away without telling me."
"I'm sorry," Paris said.
"Well I don't want to talk about it," Rory said. "So how are things with Jamie?"
"Great!" Paris said. "I spent some time with him out at his parents home in Martha's Vineyard."
"Paris Geller, I never thought I'd hear you talk like this about a boy," Rory said.
Paris smiled.

Rory returned to her dorm after dinner. She reached into the box that she'd shoved under her bed and pulled a book out. The Fountainhead. The only book He'd ever hated. Rory shoved it back. She didn't want to think about Him right now. She pulled out another book at random. Olive Twist. He'd been her Dodger. She held back tears and gave up on the books. She just cried herself to sleep.

A/N- I hope you're all really enjoying this. R&R please!
