Chapter 5: Everybody Needs A Shoulder to Cry On
A/N: Yep, here's the next chapter, told ya it'd be up soon. And by the way, I own everything.. uh huh.. haha, not really, so don't sue me.
***The next morning, around 11 or so at Luke's***
Lorelai and Rory burst into the diner, just getting back from the doctor's office, with Rory's birth control pills in her backpack. Rory wanted to tell Jess that she got them. But then they noticed that neither Luke nor Jess was in sight. Curiosity getting the better of Rory, she headed right up the stairs while her mom sat down at the counter to wait.
Rory knocked quickly on the door, and when she heard no answer, walked right in. "Jess? Are you in here? Luke?" She saw that there was music coming from Jess' room, although quietly, which she thought was very strange, and went to investigate.
Reaching the door, Rory was confused at what she saw. There was Jess alright, but he was packing a bag. What is he packing for? Rory though, Why didn't he tell me?
"What are you doing?" Rory asked quietly. Jess shot his head up, surprised that anyone was even there.
"I'm packing."
"I can see that, Jess, but why? Where are you going?" Rory asked, sitting down on his bed to watch him. Jess looked strained, like he didn't want to think about why he was leaving.
"I don't want to talk about it, but I'm going to New York." Jess said, looking down into his bag.
"What?! For how long?"
"I don't know Rory," Jess said, looking back up to her. Rory, taking it the wrong way and assuming that he wasn't coming back stood up suddenly and ran out of his room.
***At the same time, downstairs in the Diner***
Lorelai was looking around, peaking her head into the kitchen and storage room, trying to find Luke. It wasn't like him to leave his diner without help. Finally she found him sitting in the kitchen, looking broken. She takes him by the elbow and steers him into the storage room, where she firmly closes the door and turns back to Luke and sits him down. "What's wrong?"
Luke just looked up, trying his hardest not to cry, which he hasn't yet. He didn't want to cry, especially in front of Lorelai. "It's.. my sister."
"Liz?" She saw that something bad had happened, because she's never seen Luke look so sad. "What happened?"
"She.. was in a car accident. She.. died." And as he said the last word, he broke down. He never actually said it out loud before, and now that he had, it came back to him, hitting him twice as hard. He held his head in his hands, tears slowly falling through his fingers.
Lorelai didn't say anything, there wasn't really anything she could say. So she just reached out and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close. He was a little shocked at first, but slowly he relaxed and laid his head on her shoulder, holding his eyes closed, trying not to cry and failing miserably. Lorelai just held him, slowly rubbing his back or stroking his hair. There wasn't anything else she could do, but what she was doing seemed right.
A/N: don't worry, as you can see, there's already another chapter up. A double post, aren't you proud of me?
