A/N: I hope you guys like it. Thanks for the reviews.

~ Chapter 2 ~ * You're Luke's Nephew? *

"What are you doing here?" Tristan asked.

"You're Luke's nephew?" Rory asked, shocked.

"Yeah I guess I am," he answered.

"Oh, God."

"Again I ask, what are you doing here?" Tristan asked as he watched her look around the room.

"I. live here." Rory didn't want to tell him the whole story, not just yet.

"So."

"So. your beds under mine, you can just push it out and sleep on it." she told him. "And rules."

"There's rules?" he asked, exaggerating.

"Of course there's rules!"

"OK then what are they?" he watched her walk around the room.

"The laundry basket is in the middle closet and if you look at any of my clothes, you will lose something you really don't wanna loose, clear?"

"Crystal"

"OK, good, and number 2, if you bring any girls in here and do what you normally do, same consequences."

"No girls allowed, got it."

"# 3, well I cant think of another one but there will be a number 3!" she said with a smile and he flashed his famous smirk.

Then Luke came in.

"I see you guys are having a good talk. that's good. but can you guys come down and help me with the diner?" Luke asked.

"Sure Luke."

"OK Uncle Luke." Said confuzzed Tristan. He walked down the stairs with Rory.

"You called him Luke." he whispered in her ear.

"That's his name." Rory said, obviously.

"Rory you can show him how it works." Luke told her.

"Sure," she replied. She was getting stares and whispers again.

"What is everyone staring at us for?" Tristan asked.

"They aren't staring at us, they're staring at me." Rory replied giving him his own order pad. "OK, listen and learn." She said as she walked over to a table. "Hi, what can I getcha?"

"I'm so sorry, Rory," Miss Patty said.

"I'm fine. do you want any thing?" she asked again.

"Coffee sweety. and that name of that gorgeous boy at the counter."

"Lay off Miss Patty, he's Luke's nephew."

"OK," she stared at him seductfully. Tristan just looked away.

"Bye, Miss Patty!" Rory said Tristan saw that Rory was coming toward him.

"What was that about?" Tristan asked confuzzed. again.

"Oh, Miss Patty has a crush on everyone!" she said playing dumb.

"No, I mean. why did she say she was sorry?" he asked. Rory's eyes started filling with tears. Fortunately, Luke had been listening, and saw Rory's tears.

"Hey, Rory you want to take a break?" Luke asked.

She mouthed 'thank you' and in no time, she was gone.

"Ok, Tristan, don't ask questions like what you just asked or why she's here."

"Why?" asked an even more confused(if possible) Tristan.

"Just don't."

"Ok," and he started waiting tables.

Rory practically ran to the bridge. She started to cry when she got there.

"Mom! Mom why aren't you here?" she said between sobs. "You're suppose to be here! You told me you would always be here for me. well, you're not and I don't know what to do!" and then came another round of tears.

Rory walked back to the diner when the tears had stopped. Her eyes were red and she sensed that.

She finally got there and she opened the door. She looked around and every one was looking at her. She felt tears gathering behind her eyes again. She ran up the stairs as fast as she could, and went in her room, slammed the door shut. She pressed play and the music blared. She fell on her bed, crying out the tears she left in at the bridge, not realizing that Tristan was in there too.

'What the hell?' Tristan thought, when he heard the music. He looked around and found that Rory was crying on her bed, not just crying, but sobbing. Then he decided to not say anything.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rory woke up at 5 AM, like she did every morning. She took a shower and went back in her room. Noticing Tristan was still asleep, she decided to change there, since it was dark anyway.

Tristan woke up and noticed someone, a girl, was getting dressed, back facing him. She only had her bra and under ware on, and was putting on her jeans. He stared at her, realising now that it was Rory. Then he decided to go back to sleep, so she wouldn't notice him.

Rory, having put on all her clothes on, got a pillow, and threw it at his head.

"What the hell?" he mumbled.

"Wake up Sleeping Beauty!" she teased.

"It's 5:40 AM!"

"Yes and you have only 20 minutes to get ready! You better thank me for letting you stay asleep that long. Now you better hurry or Luke is going to be mad at your lateness," she said in all one breath. She went to the cd player and pressed play, again. it blasted. Then she made her way to the light.

"What the hell is that power blast music you listen to?" she asked covering his ears to the sound.

"WAKE UP!" she said throwing another pillow at his head.

"It's Saturday morning!" he yelled over the music. He heard her trip by trying to get to the light in the dark.

"Ugh." she screamed. He climbed out of his bed, in boxers only, and turned on the light.

"Are you alright?"

"Number 3. don't. do. that." she said gasping for air.

"Why Mary? You like what you see?" Tristan asked.

"You're impossible!" she yelled standing up. "Get dressed and get ready for work and be down in 10 minutes or Luke is going to be pissed at you!" she said walking toward the door.

"Wait! You called him Luke."

"Um. I told you. that's his name." she said with a smirk.

"I know but shouldn't you be calling him something along the lines of. dad?"

"No." she replied soft. "He's not my dad." She felt tears stinging her eyes, so she split.

He saw her run down the stairs as fast as she could. 'Ok, now I know why I shouldn't ask those questions, but I wish I knew the why to that.'

~Downstairs~

"Hey, Luke," Rory said as she walked down the stairs, and put a bagel in the toaster.

"Hey kid, did you sleep fine? I heard a yelp. why did I hear a yelp?" he asked confused.

"I tripped, and I slept fine." She said as the bagel popped up. She stepped outside.

~Outside~

tears slipped down my cheeks as I think of my mom. She passed a year ago, and I still think she's there.

~* Flashback ~*

"If anyone would like to say a few things about Lorelai, please step forward," the priest asked.

I stepped forward and went to the front.
I couldn't speak I was sobbing so much.
I ran out of there and to the house as fast as I could. I opened the door and stepped in. I could smell her, I could smell her.

~* End flashback ~*

She felt a strong feeling that someone was standing beside her.

"Hey, Mary," Tristan said.

"Hi," she said wiping away tears.

"I think Luke wants us back in there."

"Yeah."
