"How's Paris?"
"Boring"
"Why is it boring?"
"Because you're not with me," He gave her the same answer every time she asked about a place or an event.
"Babe, you can't tell me that you're not having any fun?" She played with the star on her necklace.
"Well I did meet this one chick," he said, and she could hear his smirk.
"I bet you did, and unless you want me to personally castrate you when you get back you better unmeet her!" She replied grinning.
"Ouch!"
"Yeah"
"I'll keep that in mind."
"Good, because I'm sure you'd like to treasure that organ for a while."
"Yes I would, I enjoy everything being attached to me, thank you very much. So how is everything back home? Any one notice I'm gone yet?" he asked.
"Your fan club noticed, they need to find someone else to drool over now. I noticed, our friends noticed. Nothing new happened, same parties, same people, same dramas. Only difference is I don't have anyone to kiss or dance with or make fun of people with, at these lame parties. I'm seriously considering not going to any for a while. Nothing changes, other than guys thinking I'm available to flirt with."
"Get names, I'll kill them when I get back!"
"Way ahead of you babe, plus Matt and all of them are around if it gets to out of hand."
"Good to know, hey Ror as much as I'd liked to cut our 3 hour conversation short I'm being yelled at to get off the phone. I'll try to get a few calls in before Friday, okay?"
"Oh, okay, I'll talk to you then."
"I Love you baby, night."
"Love you too. Bye." With that, they hung up. Rory went and picked up a book off her desk and curling up on her bed she began to read. A few hours later Lorelei called to her.
"Yeah mom?" Rory called coming down stairs.
"Your dad and I are going to the G-d awful event your grandma wants us to go see and frankly it's going to be hell. We should be home around 10 tonight if we can sneak away."
"Okay mom, try not to have too much fun."
"Oh Mini-me it will be very hard to contain all my excitement but I do think my acting skills are up to it!"
"Lor you ready?" Christopher asked coming in and fixing a cufflink "How come Rory gets to stay home?" He wined.
"Because I'm still a kid and I don't have to suffer yet!" She replied grinning.
"Just you wait till you have to do this." He muttered. "Well we better be off, the driver has the night off and well I don't want to get lost." He kissed Rory on the forehead. "Love you kiddo, be good."
"Love you too dad." She said shooing him out the door. "Bye mom," she said kissing her on the cheek "Don't let gram get to you."
"Love you mini-me, you have fun tonight, no wild and crazy parties with out me."
"I'm staying in, catching up on my reading."
"Not the same without Tristan is it?"
"Not at all." She sighed "Oh well, but he'll be back and all will be the same as it was before he left. Get going mom, love you." As Lorelei left and Rory closed the door a weird feeling over came her, but she just brushed it off and went back up stairs.
-*-*- In the car -*-*-
"Christopher you missed the turn." She said as they drove down the road trying to find the party house were this little gathering was supposed to be held.
"No I didn't Lor, see the car's navigation system, say's the turn should be right up here." He said turning onto a little road.
"Sure Chris, that's why it says DEAD END, right?" she asked.
"Fine we'll try it your way." He pulled out of the road and headed back towards the main road. The road was dark, the street light had gone out. They didn't see the stop sign, they didn't see the truck coming at them.

Rory dropped her book, she didn't know why she wasn't feeling well. "Maybe I caught a bug or something." She thought to herself. She laid her head back against the pillows and closed her eyes.
-*-*- In the car-*-*-
"CHRIS WATCH OUT" Lorelei yelled, that was the last sound heard before the crash of metal against metal. Before the 18 wheeler pushed the car into cars in the next lane. Then the police came, the fire fighters came, the ambulance came. The road closed off as they tried to clear everything away.
-*-*-Rory's room-*-*- Rory sat straight up in the air as the phone rang shrilly through her room. She didn't want to pick up that phone. Some how she knew that whatever was on the other end she didn't want to hear, that the voice on the end of the line would change the course of her life for ever.
"Hello?" She asked shakily. "Yes this is she—"Then everything went black.
A/N This is the last chappy that I'm doing for a while, I'm handing the key board over to Ash, and I'm sure she'll handle it well. But I'll be checking up on this story so you all better review. I'll be back to finish it up, and such. Thanks and REVIEW
