Chapter 2: Hello
Playground School bell rings again,
Rain clouds come to play again,
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind,
Giving you someone to talk to,
Hello
It was pouring out and she could hear everyone's whispers. She could feel their eyes on her at all times, and she just wished it would all stop. She wanted everything to go back to normal, she wanted the sun to shine again, but it was always dark, ever since that day, it was dark.
People she didn't even know would go up to her and tell her how sorry they were, what did that mean to her, she didn't care. She felt nothing anymore, she went on with life like it was normal. Never stopping to take a breath, fearing that if she did, she would break, and a Gilmore was never supposed to break, they were strong. So why did she feel so weak?
Luke would come and visit her, hoping she would talk to him, but she refused, she was always too busy arranging the funeral, and working. She kept herself busy with work, she had a new lead on a story, it was going to be great. Lorelai would be so proud!
If I smile and don't believe,
Soon I know, I'll wake from this dream,
Don't try and fix me, I'm not broken,
Hello,
I'm the lie living for you, so you can hide,
Don't cry
People kept giving her that "I'm so sorry look," and she wondered why. Not one tear fell from her face when they put the casket into the ground, instead she walked away, completely unfazed. No one bothered to follow her, she wouldn't let them in, they knew better. Her pain was masked and eventually that mask would have to fall.
Luke didn't know what to do anymore, he prayed for Lorelai to give him an answer, seeing Rory like this was breaking his heart, he knew she was a sensitive person, but how could he help her, if she couldn't even look at him?
Rory walked into her old house, she could still smell Lorelai. She could still picture all of her mother's clothes thrown in every which direction, the phone ringing and nowhere to be found. She could still feel her mother's strength around her, and slowly Rory started to crack.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping,
Hello,
I'm still here,
All that's left of yesterday,
Hey guys I know it's short, but I really wanted to update before I started getting super busy with school. I promise that I'll let you know what exactly happened to Lorelai, but you'll have to continue reading to find out. Don't forget to review!
