Previously on It Should Have Been Me Instead –

"You want to know why I am acting the way I am?" Rory asked Paris she had, had enough of this and maybe telling one person wouldn't be as bad and maybe Paris could help her. "I lost my best friend who was also my mother she jumped in front of a car that would have hit me instead of her she gave her life up for me. It's my fault she gone it should have been me instead of her. So that's why Paris my mother and best friend in the whole world is…" Rory said she had tears streaming down her face and choked out the word, "dead." She wiped away her tears and said, "Please just tell me my assignment so I can go."

"Cover the schools baseball game on Saturday and have it on my desk my Monday." Paris said she was shocked at what Rory said.

"Ok I'll see you later." Rory said and started walking but stopped and turned around when Paris called her name.

"Rory, I'm sorry about your mom and if… if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here." Paris said sincerely.

Rory smiled slightly and said, "Thanks Paris and could you not tell anyone I don't want to them know." Rory said

"No problem you secret is safe with me." Paris said and Rory walked away out into the courtyard and towards the bus stop.

Paris returned to the news room and unknown to both Rory and Paris someone had heard there conversation and it was none other than Tristan DuGrey. Tristan was leaving from detention and stopped around the corner when he heard Paris and Rory talking. What Rory and hit him like a ton of bricks he was sad for her and wanted to help her but knew he couldn't so he would just keep it to him self and not bug her as much that would help her out at least he thought it would and he left the school.

Chapter 4 –The Town Rumor Mill

Stars Hollow

Rory had gotten off the bus headed to Luke's changed into some regular clothes left her backpack there and headed towards her old house without saying very much she just got some coffee and left. Luke knew where she was going when she said she was just going to walk around or going out. Emily and Richard had paid off the money for the house and car so Rory could keep it for the future or an investment.

Gilmore's House

So she now stood in front of it. It looked the same Lorelai's jeep in the driveway nothing had been touched or so it seemed. But it had a dark sadness to it or that's what Rory thought, she sighed and unlocked the door to the house and entered while thinking.

Flashback

"Mom I'm home!" Rory shouted as she entered the Gilmore House as if it were any normal day and Lorelai comes bouncing down the stairs.

"Fruit of my Lions! " Lorelai said and hugged Rory.

End of Flashback

Rory opened her eyes she looked around her and her heart broke that would never happen again. Only in her dreams she went into the living room and looked around at the pictures on the fireplace mantle. She went around the whole house. When she got to her room she grabbed some more clothes and books to take back to Luke's and she laid down on her mother's bed and she could still smell what Lorelai smelled like it gave her some comfort.

"I've got to get out of here." Rory thought she was going to open a whole much of wounds that we starting to heal. She took one last look at the house locked the door and left towards the cemetery to her mother's gravestone.

Stars Hollow Cemetery

Rory dropped her bag down a few feet away and she sat down next to the stone. There was a picture of Lorelai sitting there and flowers all around. Rory picked up the photo and choked out a sob. On the gravestone it said, 'Lorelai Victoria Gilmore a beloved Daughter, Mother, and Friend who will me missed greatly.' She felt as if a part of her was now gone forever. "Hey mom, today I told Paris about what had happened. Maybe it will help to have someone there know." Rory would still talk as if Lorelai was sitting there listening to her. Part of her believed it too, that Lorelai was still around her and listening. "Luke's nephew is moving to town and I'm going to be sharing a room with a guy he's 17 I think and his name is Jess." Rory said she continued this for a few minutes filling in her mother on what had happened then said, "Well I got to go. I love you mom." With that she left and headed towards Luke's Diner.

Luke's Diner

Luke saw Rory walking towards the diner and he poured a cup of coffee and she entered sat at the counter and took it. "Thank you."

"Your welcome so I got some new beds and just finished putting them up a while ago." Luke said

"Oh really I'm sorry I didn't notice, I wanna see them." Rory said and headed towards her room up the stairs.

Rory's Room/ Luke's Apartment

Rory looked around the room when you entered the room the closet door was directly behind it so you had to close the bedroom door to open it and beside it now had two tall dressers with at least five drawers or six separated by a table with Rory's big boom box like C.D. player and c.d.'s were on the other wall directly across from the bedroom entrance was another door that lead to Rory's own bathroom next to that there was a nightstand and next to that a bed with what looked like to be a glossy finished wood frame it's headboard against the wall and on the other side a 5 shelf bookcase and then another bed exactly the same against the wall opposite of the closet and it had a window in the middle of the wall. The one next to the wall had a dark blue shade and a plaid design it comforter on it and the other one that was the same but it was pink. In the corner at an angle was a desk.

"I know it's a lot different and smaller but I put your other bookcases in the living room also that dresser is yours and the other is for Jess and sorry to say but you have to share a closet with him." Luke said and pointed to Rory's dresser it was the one closest to the bathroom.

"Its ok Luke besides I like it thanks." Rory said

"Yeah anyway about the bed's it was either these or bunk beds. I know you both wouldn't have wanted that so it was these." Luke continued.

"Luke really I like it a lot thank you." Rory said smiling reassuringly and she continued, "Anyway I have some homework to finish up and if you want when I'm done I can help out in the diner." Rory said

"That's good but you don't have to." Luke said started towards the apartment door.

"I want to." Rory said and she started on her homework and read the chapters in her history book she needed too and fell asleep reading them since it was reading pages 50 all the way to 200. For the whole week but Rory being who she is wanted to get it all finished.

Luke had closed up the diner and went to check on Rory he found her asleep on her bed he didn't know what to really do so he just gently took her book and set it on the nightstand threw a blanket over her and turned off her bedroom light and closed the door.
