"Jake!" Rory said running to her brother. She threw her arms around him in a hug and started to sob into his shoulder. "It's not fair Jake," she cried.
"I know Rory," Jake said as he hugged her back.
Lorelai kept her distance. This boy standing a few yards away from her had been a brother to Rory for sixteen years, probably less, he looked younger than her.
He'd spent his whole life thinking that the girl who lived in the same house as him was his sister.
"Where's everyone else?" Rory asked pulling out of the hug and wiping her eyes.
"Chris is with mom, they're talking with the lawyer, Ricky and Joe went down to Hartford today actually, to stay with Aunt JoAnne, and Josh and Kevin are at the Smith's," Jake referred to the neighbors two streets over who watched out for their family.
Rory nodded. "So how are they all doing? Now that I'm gone?"
"We were doing pretty good," Jake said. "Until the shooting. I moved into your room with Ricky and Joe. We were managing. How are you?"
"I'm good," Rory said. She motioned to Lorelai. "Jake, this is my mom."
"Nice to meet you Ms. Gilmore," Jake said straightening up and looking Lorelai straight in the eye as he extended his hand.
Lorelai smiled and shook his hand. "Call me Lorelai. I'm sorry to hear about your dad, he seemed nice when I met him sixteen years ago."
Rory smiled. "Dad was the greatest. He taught me how to play basketball so that I could beat all of the guys."
"RORY!"
Rory turned to see Josh and Kevin running towards her. Mrs. Smith walked behind them with her son, Daniel, on her hip.
Josh and Kevin stopped right in front of Rory and gave her high fives before she gathered them up into a hug. "I missed you."
Josh and Kevin hugged back, not caring that they looked funny, a thirteen year old and a fourteen year old hugging their sister in the middle of the street.
"Hello Rory," Mrs. Smith said as she approached them. "It's nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you again too Mrs. Smith," Rory said with a smile.
"I best be getting back, I'll just leave Josh and Kevin with you for now," Mrs. Smith told her with a smile and started down the street.
Rory waved goodbye to Mrs. Smith. "Thanks."
Rory turned back around to face her families. Lorelai looked sort of uncomfortable Rory noticed with a glance but Kevin started talking to her, so she didn't get a good feeling for how Lorelai was.
"Are Ricky and Joe gonna come back now?" Kevin asked her. "It's not right for them to split our family up."
"I know," Rory said wiping more tears away from her eyes only to discover that her face became wet again quickly. "I don't know if Ricky or Joe will come back anytime soon. Before the funeral."
Kevin nodded and tried to fight back tears. Guys from this side of town didn't cry, especially in the middle of the street. Rory knew he was trying to hide it so she gathered him in her arms and let him cry on her shoulder. Josh wrapped his arms around his sister from one side while Jake enveloped them all in his arms.
Lorelai stood off to the side looking at the small family.
What had she done? Because of her this girl - this sister - had been pulled away from her family.
