A/N: Hey. Everyone who reviewed wanted more, so here it is. This isn't going to be like a long story. Maybe... idk, 7 chapters. Dont really have much to say, but enjoy the story, and tell me if you want more!
Rory found herself walking to the diner. When she entered there, she saw that everyone turned their attention to her. Ms. Patty came towards her. Rory looked at them, and they seemed different.
"Why, why did you have to go and kill Lorelai?" Ms. Patty accused her.
"I.. I didn't kill her. What are you talking about?" Rory asked, with a little guilt written on her face. Then, Taylor soon appeared in front of her, shaking his head.
"If you hadn't gotten in a fight with her she wouldn't have had to go out and take a drive. There for, she wouldn't have been in that accident and died. You know what we're talking about." Taylor snarled. "Young lady, you should be ashamed of yourself."
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do anything." Rory felt tears run down her cheeks. Then, Kirk appeared, with a picture of Lorelai in his hands.
"How do you like this picture to put on the tombstone?" Kirk asked.
"You shouldn't even let her come! She was the murderer!" Andrew exclaimed from a little corner. Then, Luke suddenly walked right in front of her. She started to pant.
"The only reason why I'm letting you stay is because I feel sorry for you." Luke stated. "If you weren't in these conditions, I would have let you to rot on the bathroom floor. I wouldn't have cared! Because you killed the most important person in the world to me!"
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Rory sobbed. Then, suddenly, Lorelai appeared in front of her. She was ghostly white, and she had a white dress on.
"I hate you." She whispered. "I am dead because of you. What were you thinking?" Rory cried and fell on her knees. "Right. Now you cry. After I'm dead..."
"Mhhmm." Emily appeared next to Lorelai. "I knew it from the second I saw her. She was going to end up a failure." She then suddenly looked at Lorelai. "Buy a new dress. That one looks horrible on you."
"Mom, I'm dead. I can't." Lorelai rolled her eyes.
"Always with the excuses." Emily sighed.
"Mom, please, I beg you. Forgive me." Rory walked over to her, but she went right through her. "Please! Please!" Then, slowly, Lorelai faded away. "No, no, no! Please! Don't go! I love you, mom! I didn't mean what I told Luke. Please... come back!"
Rory opened her eyes. She was panting, and sweaty. She sighed, and looked around. 'It was just a dream.' She thought to herself. It was morning. She saw that on the alarm clock said, 5: 02 A.M. The dream kept replaying in her mind. Until, Luke barged through the door.
"Rory. Are you okay?" Luke asked, as he walked over to her bed. "I heard you screaming."
"Bad dream." She simply mumbled, and turned around in her bed. She didn't want to see anyone.
"Oh." He sighed. "Look, I can make you pancakes if you come downstairs. Everyone is asking about you." Luke looked at her hopefully. "They are worried, Rory. And so am I. I bet you will feel better after you eat. Or talk to someone."
"I'll feel better when my fucking mother isn't dead." Rory exclaimed. She still remained with her back to him. Luke had never heard her swear before. It was the first time. And he hated hearing it. Specially that horrible sentence. He knew she was hurting, badly. But, he needed her to get out of bed and at least come down stairs. She didn't have to talk to people. But, she could at least eat something, before she becomes so damn skinny that he would have to take her to a hospital or something. And the day he would have to take Rory Gilmore to the hospital for a mental illness, or because she was too skinny would be the worst day of his life.
Luke sighed, then went downstairs. As soon as he did, Babette and Ms. Patty ran up to him.
"How is she?" Babette asked. "I bet she's horrible. Is she horrible? I hope she's not horrible. Lorelai would have hated it if she was horrible. She would have wanted her to move on, and be happy." She sighed. "I bet she would have made one of her funny jokes too..."
"Could you please stop talking about Lorelai?" Luke exclaimed. He hurt inside thinking that she could have been there right now. Drinking coffee and giving him fashion advice. Then, his mind went back to the diner. "Rory is taking it badly. Everyone knew she would. So, how about you drop this, and leave it alone? It's a sore subject... for everyone. And it will not be discussed in this diner." Luke sighed. They both nodded and shrugged. At that same second, Luke decided something. "We're closed! Everybody out! Now!" He couldn't have people running around asking him questions about Lorelai and things about Rory.
Just then, Sookie came through the door. He smiled at her, and motioned for her to sit down.
"I thought that you were closing." Sookie asked. But, sat anyway.
"Yeah. But, I need some company. And Rory doesn't want to speak to me. Or anyone." Soon, everyone was out of the diner but him and Sookie. They sat there in silence.
"I know you're going to hate this question. But... we have to plan this funeral thing. Do you want me to do it?" Sookie asked.
"No. We were engaged. I want to help as much as I can." Luke sighed. "And it's okay for us to talk about it, Sook. She was you're best friend. And my wife- to be. So, feel free to talk about it."
"Alright. Well, I just finished reading everything she asked for. You know, in the papers she left for us. And... she left a list of people that she wanted to be there." Sookie handed him the list.
"Me. You. Jackson. Michel. Rory. And..." Luke stopped when he saw the name. "Jess."
"Jess?" Sookie asked in disbelief.
"Yeah." Luke sighed. "She didn't want anyone else to come to her funeral. She doesn't want there to be a big thing about it." Luke said. "She left a note also. Well, a note for everyone to read. Everyone, as in everyone that is going to the funeral. But, she left separate notes for each and every town person."
"How many letters are there?" Sookie asked.
"287." Luke sighed. "Leave it up to Lorelai to leave a letter to everyone she knows." Sookie smiled. Luke took the letter that was addressed to him.
Dear Luke,
I have re-written this letter every year since the day I met you. Because our relationship has changed so much over the years. I know that right now I miss you. And don't doubt that. Never for one second doubt that. Because if you do, I will know. I have also written this letter to tell you that if you're still wearing the backwards baseball hat, that it is out of style. That flannel shirt also. I bet your smiling right now. Good. That's good. I love it when you smile. Even if I'm in heaven. I have my Luke picture screen on 24/7. So, if you do something dirty, or say something dirty. I will still yell "dirty!" I have many things to tell you. The first thing is... I love you. So much, you have no idea. And I want to tell you that right now. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Never, ever, forget that. But, I want you to move on. As painful as it is to say this. You have to move on. I don't want you to be alone just because I'm not there anymore. Find someone. Love her. Please. I know it's scary that I'm not going to be there so you can lecture to me about coffee being bad. I know that you wish I could be there right now so you can serve me coffee. But... you can still serve me coffee. Serve me coffee every day in the morning. I'll be drinking it... here... where ever I am. Set it down on the counter. And let me drink it. Because even though I'm dead, I still need caffeine. Another thing is... Take care of Rory. Never let her fall apart. That is the favor I want to ask you. Be her dad. She needs someone. And I want to ask you to call Jess. I know that sounds weird. But, please, call him. He is the only one that can help get Rory through this. I know that. And I love him. Please tell him that. Because... he is so wonderful to Rory. And tell him he has a place in my heart. And tell Rory she has half of my heart. Have a party! I know that was random. But please! Have a party in my honor. Not to grief. Just because I am a wonderful woman! And tell everyone that I say hi! And that they have to wear something colorful to my party. I don't want to end this letter, because there is so much more that I need to tell you. But, know that I love you. And that I am crying right now. But, I'm happy. I had a great life. That's all that matters. Luke. Please don't forget me. I love you with all my heart.
P.S. Tell me you love me every night. I need to hear it. And I will hear it. Don't worry. I'm saying it back. Also, I want to be buried with my engagement ring. To me, we're still engaged. And I don't regret it at all. I wish we could have gotten married, but, I'm happy that we got where we got.
So much love,
Your mysterious coffee woman
A.K.A, Lorelai
Luke finished the letter. He folded it in half and put it in his pocket. He had wanted to cry right there and then. But, after all that Lorelai told him. He didn't want to let her down. At the same time, Sookie had been reading her letter. She was obviously crying. And blubbering. That reminded her of the day of Rory's graduation. They were all crying, and happy. But, now, everything was screwed up. And even if Lorelai wasn't there. She knew it.
"Oh my gosh, Luke." Sookie sobbed. She put her letter down. "She was such a great person. You were lucky to have her."
"I am lucky to have her. I still have her, Sookie. I haven't lost her yet." Luke smiled. And he could tell that Lorelai listened to this and smiled also. "Sookie, you should get home. Jackson is probably worried about you." Sookie nodded and then headed out, taking her letter with her.
As soon as she left, he reached for the phone and dialed Jess' number.
"Hello?" Jess answered.
"Jess." Luke simply said.
"Hey." Jess smiled. He was happy to hear from him. "You hardly ever call. What's up?"
"Umm, I kinda have some news..." Luke drifted off.
"I know that you and Lorelai are getting married." Jess smiled. Luke hurt inside to hear her name. "I was going to call her today to congratulate her. She would have probably called me and demanded that I come and be you're best man, anyways.If I hadn't, I mean."
"Yeah. She probably would..." Luke sighed. "Jess, you can't call her. Or talk to her ever again."
"What? Are you banning me from seeing her and talking to her or something?" Jess asked. "My god."
"No, I'm not." Luke stated. "It's just... it would be physically impossible for you to talk to her. Even if I did let you."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Lorelai's dead. She died in a car crash a few days ago." Luke hated saying this. But, it was the truth.
"I'll be right there." Jess whispered. Luke heard a dial tone.
'How did he know that he needed to come? I never even told him that Rory was bad, or anything. Wow, that kid surprises me sometimes.' Luke thought. He waited patiently for Jess to arrive.

Luke sat at the small table. Watching TV. He left the apartment to Rory, because the last time he went up there, she was sobbing, and yelling at something. Or maybe at her mom. All he knew is that she was getting worse. Then, he saw Jess enter the diner. He looked frantic. His car wasn't even parked right. It looked tilted.
"I got here as fast as I could." Jess exclaimed.
"How did you know?"
"Look, I have no time for chit chat." Jess stated. "Where is she? At her house? Knowing you, you probably kidnapped her from her own home." Luke rolled his eyes, then nodded.
"She's upstairs. But, I don't think she wants to talk to anyone."
"Anyone. But I'm not anyone. I'm special." He smirked, and ran upstairs.
"Of course you are." Luke mumbled under his breathe, as Jess was already half way up the stairs.

Jess knocked on the door to Luke's apartment. He heard not even a grunt. So, he entered by himself. As soon as he walked in. He saw a complete mess. There was a plate smashed on the floor. And Rory was curled up in a ball on the bed.
She saw him and sat up. Her face was completely red, and he eyes looked big and puffy. He ran over to her and immediately hugged her. She rested her head on his shoulder and continued to cry.
"I miss her." She whispered between sobs.
"I know." Jess cooed. He hugged her tighter, kissing her shoulder blade every ten seconds. Rory got tired quickly. Tears still staining her porcelain face. She quickly let go of him and moved back, so her head was resting on the pillow. He had his hands on either side of her body. Almost to place her there. He slowly pushed strands of hair out of her eyes and just didn't smile. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. She was in such pain that she closed her eyes. And let little sobs escape her throat.
"Stay." She whispered. And with that one word, he felt his universe shatter down. "Please. Don't leave." She cried.
"Stop. I'm not going anywhere." Jess laid down next to her. And let her slip into his arms. They had no covers on, because their body warmth was enough for them. "I promise." She let a little cry out. And he squeezed her tightly.
A/N: There wasn't as much Jess as I would have wanted for this chapter, but don't worry, this is a Literati. So, dont worry, there will me much more Jess to come! Oh, and dont worry, there will be a happy ending. So, dont worry about being depressed after reading this story. lol. Even though I nearly cried writing this. Please, please, please review! If I dont get enough reviews I won't continue. I dont like writing things just for the sake of writing things.
