"I want a hug / I'm going to run away from my home
Can I sleep here...with you?
I'm afraid / I had a nightmare
I won't come back anytime soon"

Chap 01 - Katlyn
* ring * ring * ring *
"Lorelai Gilmore speaking"
"Hey, hon, how are you?"
"Mom? Mom, what happened? I left the house less than twenty minutes ago. You can't have already missed me"
"Well, I miss you all the time. You're my favorite daughter"
"Yeah, but you've never called me so early"
"I just wanted to check on you. Ror, do you think we could have lunch together?"
"Okay, now I'm sure there's something wrong. You have lunch with Luke every single day. It's already a tradition! What's going on?"
Lorelai sighted. She knew she couldn't keep it from Rory even for just one more minute. "Are you sat?"
Rory sat on her chair in front of her desk, "Yeah"
"Ror, you know Katlyn. Well she was going to work when an accident happened. A truck hit her car. She died instantly. Jess got the news about an hour ago. Then he disappeared. No one knows where he is now. He left a note thought. Anyway, I thought you would want to know everything as soon as you could, so I'm telling you. Luke is getting ready and we're going to Kingston in three or four hours to the funeral and stuff. If you want to."
"I'll go with you"
"But don't you have to work?"
"Jess is more important. I'll be home in half hour"
"Okay, we'll wait for you"
"Thanks. Bye"
Rory hung up the phone with shaking hands. She may had sound a little cold in the phone, but she just didn't know what to say. She couldn't think. The only thing that was in her mind was Jess. He must be devastated. She needed to be there for him.
She got up, went to a door and knocked on it softly. She heard a "Come in" and opened it quietly. Sitting in front of her was her boss. She entered the room and closed the door behind her.
"How may I help you Ms. Gilmore?"
"Mr. Gray, I have a family emergency and I'll have to ask to use my accumulated vacations now. I'm sorry I gave you no time noticed but it was a surprise for all of us"
"No problem", the old man said carefully. "I hope it's nothing serious. You can use your accumulated vacations. We'll start counting from tomorrow. You can go now if you want to, thought"
"I'll have to go now then. Thanks for being so comprehensive"
"Don't mention. I'm sorry I can't help you more"
Rory headed to the door and went back to Stars Hollow. She wasn't really close to Katlyn. She thought she was a nice person and all and they were polite to each other but they weren't friends. Right now what was really bothering her was Jess. She didn't know where he was, but she knew he was suffering and that made her suffer. She just wanted to be with him now, to hold him, to help him in every way she could. But what could she do now? The woman was dead. There's nothing to do. She got home and packed two big luggages. When Rory was almost done she heard the door opening.
"Rory?"
"Bedroom"
"Hey", Lorelai said in the door way, looking at her daughter. They stood like this for a moment and then the two women hugged. In moments like this you start to think about how things could have happened in another was. Just when someone near you dies is that you realize how death is something unexpectated and how ease things can change forever. One moment you know this person. You love her. You live with her. In the other she's gone and you'll never be able to talk to her again.
"How is Jess?"
"Don't know. No one knows where he is yet"
Rory nodded and sighted. Jess would want to be alone in a time like this.
"I'm done packing. We can go whenever you want to"
"I'm just waiting Luke. He's closing the diner and will be here any minute now" Lorelai paused when she saw Rory's luggage. "Aren't you bringing to much to this trip? We're staying there just for a couple of days"
"No, I'm going with my car and I'll spend sometime there, with Jess. I forgot to tell you, I asked Mr. Gray to use my vacations now. Jess needs me and I'll be there for him. I just asked you to wait for me because I don't know where Jess lives", Rory said in one breath. She was trying to organize her thoughts and tell Lorelai what she had planned while coming home from Heartford. But the only things playing in her mind were questions. "What if it was you?" "Would he miss you like he is missing Katlyn?" "What if he died like that?" "How would you live without him?"
Her mind seemed to be playing tricks on her, making questions she couldn't answer. She knew that a good question would never start with a "what if", but she couldn't help it.
She heard a noise coming from the porch and figured it was Luke. "I guess he's done with the diner. Let's go to Kingston"
The three of them went to Kingston in a silent trip. They didn't have anything to say.
