Rory Gilmore walked into her empty apartment. The apartment that was once filled not only by her, but by her beloved boyfriend, Logan. She sat down on the leather couch and cried. It had been almost two months since Logan had left for London, but she was still empty without him. She picked up her cell-phone and called him, "Logan?" she said and started to get choked up.
"Ace? Are you okay?" Logan said, very concerned.
Rory cried into the phone. "No, I'm not! I miss you so much! I can't stand this Logan, I need you!"
"I miss you too, Ace," Logan said, somewhat uncomfortably.
"When can I see you? I need to see you," Rory said, an emotional wreck.
"Well, Ace, I don't know. I have to go now, okay?" Logan said quietly. Rory hung up and then climbed into bed and cried herself to sleep.
She did not get out of bed the next day and did not go to her classes. She didn't care about any of them. All she cared about was Logan. She heard her cell-phone ringing and answered it, hoping it was Logan.
"Hey hon'" Lorelai greeted her daughter.
"Hi mom," Rory replied.
"Are you okay?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," Rory replied.
"Well, that makes one of us. Anyway, I need to see you. As soon as possible," Lorelai said.
"Is everything okay? What's up?" Rory asked.
Lorelai sighed. "I need to see you. This is not an over the phone thing," Lorelai answered.
"I can come over later today," Rory assured her mom.
"Thanks, hon'" Lorelai said then hung up.
Rory was very concerned about her mother and decided to drive down to Star's Hollow. She drove up to her mother's house and noticed that the car was not in the driveway. She drove to the Dragonfly Inn, the inn that Lorelai owned and ran, and noticed that her mother's car was not there either. Rory started to fret. She drove to Luke's diner. She thought that the boyfriend of her mother must know what was wrong and where Lorelai could be. When she was at the diner, she walked in and right up to the man with a backwards baseball cap and a flannel shirt.
"Luke," Rory said.
"Oh. Hey, Rory," Luke said, "Can I get you something? Coffee? Anything?"
"Thanks, coffee would be great," Rory replied. After she had her cup of coffee in front of her, Luke put Caesar in charge and sat down with Rory.
"Don't you have classes right now?" Luke asked.
"I'm not feeling well," Rory answered.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Luke, where's my mom? She called me this morning and I have no idea where she is. Is she okay? What's wrong?" Rory inquired.
"Well, Rory, I don't know where she is right now," Luke said flat-out.
"What? Why? You need to know where she is! You're her fiancé!" Rory said.
"Not anymore," Luke stated.
"Oh," Rory said. She got up and left the diner as quickly as she could.
"Rory!" Luke shouted after her, "Let me explain!" Rory shook her head and got into her car and drove off.
She drove back to the Dragonfly Inn. Her mother was still not there but Sookie was. "Sookie," Rory said anxiously, "Do you have any idea where my mom is?"
"Oh. Yeah. She's at my house, honey," Sookie responded, "She and Luke just broke up. She needed a place to stay, so Jackson and I let her stay at our house."
"Thanks," Rory said, relieved to know where her mom was. "Hey, Sookie? Would it be okay if I chill here for a little bit?" Rory questioned.
"Of course, honey," Sookie answered.
Rory went into the sitting room and sat on one of the comfortable chairs and read. While she was reading she thought about her problems. She tried to think about what she could do to see Logan. She needed to see him. She needed to make sure that he still loved her as much as she loved him. She thought about this for and hour then decided to call her mom. "Mom?" Rory said into the phone.
"Yeah," Lorelai answered.
"Where do you want me to meet you?" Rory asked.
"The house is fine," Lorelai replied.
"I'll see you soon," Rory assured her mother then she hung up. She grabbed her book and made her way to the car.
She drove to her mother's house and let herself in. Paul Anka, Lorelai's dog, greeted Rory. "Hello, Paul Anka. It's good to see you too," she pet him and put fresh food in his bowl. She walked into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. She heard her mother's car in the driveway and ran to meet her. She greeted her with a big hug.
"Hey, hon'" Lorelai said to Rory wearily. They walked into the house and Rory gave Lorelai a cup of coffee. Lorelai burst out in tears. "Rory, I loved him. And now I've messed up everything. I've messed up everything forever. There's nothing I can do to get him back."
Rory decided not to ask any questions but instead just be there for her mom. After a while, Lorelai stopped crying and started to perk up. "What are you doing tomorrow?" she asked Rory.
"Nothing," Rory replied, "I don't have any classes."
"Let's go somewhere, let's do something," Lorelai proposed.
"Okay. What? Where?" Rory questioned.
"The mall, shopping," Lorelai decided. Rory did not argue. Sometimes her mom needed shopping therapy. "Oh, honey? By the way, why weren't you in your classes today?" Lorelai asked, curious.
"Oh, I just wasn't feeling well," Rory replied.
