AN: hey hey.. yeah it's been awhile. I hate school..sigh.. Thank all of you guys who review.. it sounds cliché but it really does make me write faster. okay so here it is.. the next installment.

I had my first day of school today. It was actually not too bad. The classes themselves are pretty interesting and the teachers really seem to care about their students. Rory would love this school. I tried to mostly stay to myself, spending lunch armed with music and books. A couple people tried to talk to me but I did my best to discourage people from it. The people around here all seem to fit into one of three categories.

The first group is the people who have been raised to be perfect models of their rich, boring, proper parents. The second group is the spoiled out of control rich kids. They take all their parents money and spend it on whatever they feel at the moment. When they are out drinking and crash the brand new BMW their parents bought them for their birthday, their parents, saying they are just being teenagers, by them a new one. The last group is those people who are unhappy children of rich overbearing parents. They try to rebel in their own ways and constantly vow to never under any circumstances end up like their parents.

Personally I can't really relate to any of these people. ---------------------------

Rory glanced up from the book to look at the time. Sighing, she closed it and put it in the bag she prepared to bring to work tomorrow. Deciding that since tomorrow would be her first day she should go to sleep she reached over and turned off the light. Of course after all she had so far read, sleep would not be peaceful.

Rory closed the journal and glanced at the clock. 3:23 AM. She had finally finished it and this gave her the urgency to go find him, to tell him that she finally understood that he had to go, that it would be selfish of her to be mad about it. She got up out of her bed, threw on a pair of jeans and a simple red tank top, and headed out the door. When she arrived at the diner, everything was dark. Not wanting to disturb Luke, if at all possible, she found the spare key and let herself in.

As she made her way through the dark diner, she realized that is was a bit silly for her to be there. What she had to say to him could surely wait until morning, couldn't it? As she was about to turn back around, the urgency in her that had made her jump out of bed to begin with became much stronger. 'Okay, okay,' she told herself, 'he might think I'm crazy after this but I have to do it now.' She quietly went up the stairs and entered the apartment. Tiptoeing through the rooms she couldn't find Jess anywhere.

Puzzled, she went back through the diner and outside. It was fairly warm out so she decided to check the bridge. As she got closer she began walking faster and faster until she finally broke into a run. Rory continued to run until she got about five feet away from the bridge. There she stopped dead in her tracks.

Lying across the bridge was a completely motionless body. She would have assumed he was sleeping, but in the moonlight she could see that blood had dripped into the water underneath.

As tears poured out of her eyes, she ran to him and clutched his body. She knew it was too late for help. After what seemed like hours of just holding him and crying, she began to scream between her sobs. "No Jess... no... it isn't fair...you can't leave me here...it isn't fair... please... I came to tell you... I understand...I love you...please god no..."

"RORY, RORY!!" Rory jumped as she realized it was Lorelai.

"Mom?" Looking around, Rory realized she was in bed still. "Mom!! It was a dream!" Her mom just stared at her completely confused and still worried.

Realizing she was actually crying, Rory hugged her mom and tried to explain. "Mom it was a horrible dream. I went to find Jess and he wasn't there and then I found him but it was too late..." she blurted out in one breath. She couldn't seem to stop crying.

"Honey it was just a dream. Calm down. You need to get back to sleep. You have to get up for work in a little while. We'll go have breakfast before you have to go in and you can tell me all about it. Okay?" She ran her hands through her daughter's hair to try to calm her down.

Rory began to nod in agreement until she looked at the clock on her nightstand. 3:23. Her eyes widened in panic. "Oh my God."

She jumped up and headed towards the door, this time not caring she was wearing purple pajamas with pink pigs all over them. "Mom I just.. I just .. I have to go. I'll be right back.."

She was out the door before Lorelai could even open her mouth to voice her argument.
