Title – Barriers and Brick Walls
Chapter Six
Disclaimer – I don't own Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls belongs to Amy Sherman Palladino and Warner Brothers. However, I do own this plot, and if I catch any of you stealing it I will be thoroughly disappointed and maybe even a smidge angry. Distribution is fine, but please put my name on it and don't forget to tell me!

Rory awoke on Sunday and lay in her bed for a while, staring up at the ceiling.
How was she going to change? She had already made a name and status for herself, she wasn't sure she could just simply slip back into the old Rory mould yet. It had to be a gradual thing.
Rory had visited her mother the past night, and Lorelei had suggested that Rory try to sort things out in the real world before she visited for coffee again.
So Rory sent a thank you letter to Luke for the coffee. Then, after much deliberation, she also wrote in the leather journal Jess had sent her.
~Jess-
Thank you for your concern.
I understand your love for me is strong.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you left New York because your Dad died.
I wanted to apologise for anything I've ever said or done to hurt you.
I am going to try to become a better person.
It will be hard.
I have to shed my old image.
But I know I can never return to how I was before.
I will make a compromise.
How are you?
Are you seeing anyone?
Love Rory. ~
When she was done, she pressed the intercom button.
"Leila, could you please come up to my room when you have time. I have a favour to ask you."
On the other end of the line, Leila was sipping her cup of tea while chatting with Roger, the butler in the service quarters. When she heard Rory's voice, she looked at Roger in amazement.
"Miss Rory seems, nice, today." Roger said tentatively.
"What do you reckon's brought this on?" Leila asked in amazement, her adopted British accent shining through from that all expenses paid Christmas leave Emily and Richard had given her the year before.
"I dunno. Let's just hope it sticks around." Roger smiled at Leila as she hurried out of the quarters and up to Rory's room.
~*******~
Leila knocked tentatively on Rory's door.
"Who is it?" Rory asked pleasantly.
"It's Leila Miss Rory. Did you call me?" Leila asked timidly.
"Yes, I did. I wasn't expecting you so quickly. I didn't interrupt your break time did I?" Rory asked, concerned.
"No not at all Miss Rory. I am glad to be of service, anytime, day or night." Leila smiled back at Rory, whose eyes were shining with warmth and serenity.
"Thank you Leila." Rory said.
"So, what was it that you wanted, Miss Rory?" Leila asked.
"Well, if it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if you could post these two items." Rory asked, motioning to a letter and a package on her desk.
"Of course its not too much trouble Miss Rory, would you like anything while I'm out?" Leila asked.
"No, I don't think that will be necessary Leila, but thank you anyway." Rory smiled as Leila curtseyed and walked out of the room.
