A/N: Big Thank You to everyone who has read the first chapter and even bigger ones to those who have reviewed. Here the second part. I'm not sure of how good it will be or of how much info you'll get from it but I do know where I'm going with this it's just the getting there that'll be a little hard.

Chapter 2

After almost 4 ½ hours of driving Rory finally stopped in Syracuse New York. She didn't really know how she had gotten there or what she was doing there for that matter, all she knew was that she had to get as far away from Stars Hollow and Dean as she could. She needed time to think about what to do and she would stay away for as long as it took to figure out what that was.

It was close to 4 am and she hadn't been to bed yet. Hell! She hadn't even had anything to eat or drink since she had left the Dragonfly. She decided to stop at the closest coffee shop or diner that she could find.

When she entered the coffee shop she found it pretty empty, people were probably asleep at that time of morning. That fact made her extremely happy. The last thing she wanted was to have to deal with people staring at the lonely girl with red puffy eyes.

She sat in a corner booth, ordered coffee and thought about what to do next. She decided to ask the waitress for help.

"Excuse me, miss?" she said shyly.

"Yes dear?" the friendly lady replied.

"I was wondering if you could recommend a cheap hotel that I could get a room in."

"Well, you see that building across the street? That's a little bed and breakfast that I'm sure you'd like. They should be opening at around 6am."

"Thanks a lot. Would it be ok if I sat here until then?"

"Sure, not a problem. More coffee?"

She went to the B&B at 6am sharp and got a room. When sleep wouldn't come she got up and decided to explore the town. She needed a few things for the rest of her trip so she hit the boutiques that she had seen on this street.

The – in case of an emergency- credit card that her grandparents had given her came in handy when she went to buy some clothes. She hadn't packed much and she would need clean stuff seeing as to how she didn't exactly have access to a washing machine. She bought jeans and shirts, socks and underwear and even a pair of running shoes at the clothing shop. She picked books and stationary at the bookstore as well as pens, envelopes and postage stamps.

Back in her room she sat at the small desk and started to write letters to the people back home. She needed to explain things and she didn't want anyone to worry.

As soon as the pen hit the page the tears started to flow. Her first letter was to her mother.

Dear Mom,

I'm sitting here in a cute Bed and Breakfast in Syracuse New York but by the time this reaches you I will no longer be here. Where am I going? That I do not know. The pressures at home would have been too much this summer. The changes got to be too hard and confusing and I'm not sure I could have dealt with them if I would have stayed put.

I'm sorry for the things I said that night. Although I was mad I didn't have to take it out on you. That night should have been the most special one in my relationship with Dean but it wasn't exactly the most romantic thing in the world.

I always thought that when my first time came it would be different. In a perfect world he would have stayed with me afterwards. He would have held me in his arms instead of just leaving me. Maybe that is what got me so mad. I was mad at him for moving on without me even though I'm the one who ended things with him. He's married; he has a relationship with someone when I haven't been able to stay with the same guy for more than a few months. Maybe someday I will be able to love someone fully and truthfully and let him love me the same way.

I will call or write again soon. Don't worry about me.

I love you mom and I miss you but for now this is what it has to be.

Rory.

 The letter to her mother had completely drained her so she decided to go to bed before writing to anyone else.

{}{}{}

"I love you Rory!" said Dean's eyes as he told her that he couldn't leave his wife. "I'm sorry Rory but I just couldn't live with myself if I was divorced at 19. I vowed to love her and stay with her and I'm just going to have to try harder. Goodbye Rory!"

{}{}{}

 Rory woke up with tears in her eyes. Maybe her dream was a sign. Maybe it was time to let Dean go forever. They had tried being friends and they'd ended up sleeping together. Now her life was a confusing mess and her relationship with her mother was going to suffer. Rory knew what she had to do. She got coffee, picked up her pen and started to write.

Dear Dean,

How are you? I'm sitting in a Bed and Breakfast in Syracuse New York. After everything that's happened I just had to get away. In a way, sleeping with you was a mistake. If the circumstances would have been different then it would have been great, we would have been great, but the truth is, Dean, we can't be together.

I realize that your feelings for me were true at some point in time and that maybe you thought you loved me that night but you have a wife and I think you might be able to fix things with her sometime in the future. I will not tell her what happened between us because I believe that if she were to find out, the best person to find out from would be you. The truth might hurt her at first and she might not want to talk to you for a while but if you guys were meant to be then it will surely get better with time.

I want you to know that you do mean a lot to me Dean, and you will always hold a special place in my heart, after all you were my first everything. But for now we are better off far away from each other. Don't try looking for me because even I don't know where I'm going.

Yours Truly,

Rory

That one was the hardest but she couldn't stop there. While she was getting her relationship straightened out she realized that she had one more person to write to. Jess had seemed so hurt when she'd told him that she couldn't got to New York with him she felt that she owed him some kind of explanation. So once again she picked up her pen and started to write.

Dear Jess,

I don't know if this will reach you because I don't know where you are living in New York but I am hoping that Luke will be able to get this to you.

I do realize that you might not want to hear what I have to say after the last time we spoke but I just had to let you know why I said the things I said and exactly how I feel.

Back when we were together in Stars Hollow I truly felt like I could trust you and like we had something special. You understood me and we really fit together. My feelings for you were strong and when you left my world fell apart. I didn't understand why you would leave. Well, after what happened with Dean at that party I knew that things were going to be a little weird but I never thought you'd leave me like that. We could have made things work if only we would have talked about things. And I'm sorry about the way Dean acted that night. I'm sorry that our relationship wasn't as strong as I had thought it was.

When you came back to Stars hollow and told me you loved me I was shocked and glad to see you back in my life for that little second but then you left again. For the second time in our relationship you gave up on us. Why did you leave that time? Why not wait to hear that I loved you too.

When I saw you in my dorm at Yale I was excited at first but then I realized that it wouldn't work. I couldn't let you hurt me again. I just didn't want to be happy for fear that I would be left alone again.

I am sorry if I hurt you.

For now I will let you go. I am no longer in Stars Hollow so you won't be able to find me. Maybe someday we will be friends.

Goodbye Jess.

Until we meet again!

Rory

She sent Jess's letter to Luke's diner with a note attached that read:

Luke,
Would you please send this to Jess? It would mean a lot to me. Please make sure that mom's ok...she might need a friend right now.

Rory

As for Dean's letter she sent it to her mother hoping that she could give it to him.

With that done she packed up, paid her room and drove away.

A/N: Ok guys that's it for chapter 2. Hope you liked it. Don't worry things will happen soon (If the reviews are good). Maybe she'll meet someone on her journey???
