Jess'sGirl- Thanks SO much for your review! I'm really glad that you're enjoying this story so much to review even though you normally don't and to call it one of your 'must reads'! Honestly I normally believe my writing sucks but it's great to hear people who really love it. Keep reviewing! Your reviews are very motivating!

Coffeechick87- Thanks for your review! I'm glad you're enjoying this story so much! Honestly I almost put myself in tears when I read over 'So This Is What She Left Behind'. I got the candle idea 'cause a girl in my neighborhood was killed in a car accident like, 6 years ago, and I think there's still a candle in her bedroom window so I thought it fit here.

And now I've finished rambling, so on with the story!

Leah paced her apartment. How could he know? What gave her away? Did he even know?

All signs pointed to yes.

But how could he?

Leah sighed and picked up her book.

Writing stared back at her.

His writing. In the margins of the book.

She'd had this book with her at the diner, he must've seen it.

Leah ran from her apartment and to the bridge. She was out of breath when she reached it.

"You know don't you?" she said loudly as she walked towards him.

"Know what?" Jess said dully. He was sitting on the edge of the bridge staring into the water.

"You know who I am?" Leah said. "Don't you?"

Jess stood up and walked towards her.

"I know you are Lorelai Leigh Gilmore and you vanished without a trace twelve years ago," Jess said quietly.

Rory's eyes filled with tears and she nodded. Jess took her in his arms. "Why'd you leave?" he whispered in her ear.

"I had to get away from Him," Rory said crying harder.

"From who?" Jess asked her confused. "Who's him?"

"The man who's out to kill me," Rory said. She wrapped her arms around Jess's neck, using him for support as sobs completely took over her body.

"Why?" Jess said scared himself. "Why would someone want to kill you?"

"It's a long story."

"I've got time."
