Is this Love?

"Come on Jess, stop, I don't want to, STOP, STOP IT, PLEASE." Rory cried as she struggled against him. His mouth and clothes reeked of alcohol as he roughly kissed her. One thought stayed in her mind.

"This isn't happening, Jess loves me, he wouldn't do this to me, Is this real love?" Finally after what seemed forever Jess got up, dressed and left. Rory curled her broken beaten body into a ball and cried.

"Rory, where are you?" Lane called, "oh no, Rory, Rory what happened? Who did this? Talk to me Rory." Lane pulled the sobbing Rory to her and hugged her tight.

"Lane, please, just take me home, out back, I don't want anyone to know, not now." Rory begged clinging to Lane's shirt.

Lane walked Rory home and led her in the back. Lorelai wasn't home yet, so Rory told Lane she wanted to be alone, making her promise not to tell. After Lane left Rory took a shower and put her clothes in a bag and threw them away. She pulled on sweats and curled up under her blankets and went to sleep. The next morning Lorelai called an unusually late Rory for school.

Jess left the party and walked to the bridge; he sat down and fell asleep. When he woke up he was sober and horrified. He couldn't believe what he'd done. The one person he loved who loved him back he destroyed her.

"Come on Rory, time for school, I've gotta get to work and you have school." She pulled back the covers and kissed Rory's head. She then went to get coffee ready. Rory got up and dressed, putting on long sleeves to hide the bruises. She then went out, grabbed her cup and headed to the bus. She walked into school and headed for her first class, the Franklin. She took her seat and stared at the wall.

"RORY," Paris shook Rory's shoulder and called her for the 10th time, "Are you okay? You're like totally zoned out."

Rory shook her head and tears fell down her cheeks. Paris didn't know what to do so she asked Mrs. Black if Rory and she could go to the lounge to talk. Paris led Rory to the lounge and sat her down.

"Okay, Rory what's wrong? Did something happen?" Paris asked softly.

"He, he... he..he raped me," Rory stuttered, "Jess raped me, last night at a party, he was drunk and he forced himself on me, oh God Paris, what am I gonna do. I thought he loved me, Paris, It really hurt, I'm really sore and I think something's wrong."

"Didn't you go to the hospital? Didn't you get check out?" Paris asked. Rory shook her head no and started to cry again.

"Come on, you have to get checked, I'll take you to the hospital." Rory mutely nodded her head and stood up.

"Please don't leave me Paris, I can't do this alone." Paris wrapped an arm around Rory and led her to her car. They drove to the hospital in silence. Paris led Rory inside and sat her down then went to talk to the nurse. The doctor called them back and examined Rory.

"Miss. Gilmore, there was a little tearing and some abrasions but you'll be okay. I call you when the test results are back and we'll go from there, here's the number for a help line and something to help you sleep." The doctor said and led Rory out the door.

Paris drove Rory home and helped her to bed. She made her some coffee and stayed till Rory was asleep. Before she fell asleep Rory made Paris promise not to tell anyone.

Loralai came home and found Rory asleep. She woke her up and told her to get ready to eat.

"Not Luke's, please mom, not Luke's." Rory cried, close to tears.

"What's wrong honey, you love Luke's, did you and Jess have a fight?" Loralai said seating on Rory's bed. Rory nodded as more tears fell.

"He got drunk, at the party last night, he.. he raped me, mom, he raped me." Rory cried, collapsing against her mother. Loralai hugged her tight and started to cry with Rory. She wanted to kill him, but Rory was so upset she just held her sobbing broken child. Her little girl, she couldn't protect her anymore.

Rory calmed down and Loralai went to answer the phone.

"WHAT? HE LEFT?" she shouted. She hung up the phone and told Rory what happened.

"Jess left, he left a note saying he won't be back, he said he was sorry, and he'll never forgive himself." Rory started to cry and ran to her room. She hated him for what he did, but part of her still loved him.

******** One month later********

Rory's hand shook as she held the little white stick. She thought she was okay, the doctor's results were normal. She couldn't be pregnant, not with Jess's baby. But the stick said positive.
