Gilmore Girls

That September Day



Rory sat in her hospital room crying. "why?" she asked her self She had been in new yourk with her grandfather, her mother got her out of school to go with him, and not long after they got there, a plane hit the building that they were in.

Flashback..

"Rory, GO!!" Richard screamed "Not without you!" "please dear, Go, I'll be fine, I'll be out soon, but there are people trapped over here. Rory did as she was told and ran out of there when she got down to the second floor, everything behind her crumpled

"Grandpa!" she screamed. and before she knew it, something was falling over her, she tried to move, but ithit her leg. she screamed with pain, but someone managed to lift her up to her feet, and she got out.

End of flashback

she grabbed the crutches that were by her bed and managed to get her newly cated foot off the bed and over to her stuff, and found her cell phone and dialed her mother phone number.

"hello?" a hoarse voice said

"mom, its me" she cried

"rory, are you alright?"

"im in the hospital- I broke my leg"

"but are you alright"

"yeah, Im alright"

"thank God, I was so worried"

"mom.. grandpa..."she sobbed

"what about grandpa?"

"he didnt get out"

"wh...what?

"he made me run out, he stayed to help people to tryu and get out, before i

knew it, everything behind me came down"

"rory, have you called your grandmother?" she slowly got out.

"no, do you want me to?..or do you?"

"No no baby, I'll do it, you just stay there and get better, go back to your hotel when they let you out and call me "she was no crying hard

"okay mom.. Im sorry, i should have made him get out" she sobbed

"no no, its NOT your fault honey, your grandfather would have stayed anyways, atleast i still have you babe.. I dont know what I would do without you"

"i love you mommy"

"i love you too" Click

CHILTON

* oh my god.. Rory.* was the first thing he thought of when the announcement came on. He immediately got out his cell phone and tried to call her house but the phone was busy *damnit*

HOSPITAL

"Ms. Gilmore?" the nurse asked

"yes ma'am"

"you can leave now, here- take these pills every 6 hours for pain" the nurse handed her the pills

"Thank you"

Rory left the hospital which was now a mad house and gotinto a cab to the the hotel. She got into the room and called her mom.

"Hello?"

"Mom, Im in the hotel"

"are you okay?"

"yeah, Ive got a huge cast, but Im alright"

"okay, I cant get a flight out until late tomorrow night, your grandmother is coming too."

"what do I do until then.. Im scared"

"its okay.. Your grandmother already told the hotel to let you have what you want. she says to stay in your room until tomorrow when we get there, and just watch movies and relax"

"okay. How is grandma?"

"shes not good ror"

"im so sorry" Rory sobbed

"its not your fault babe"

"im going to go"

"okay hun, rest"

"I love you"

"Love you too"

Rory laid down on her bed, and took the medicine. whitin ten minutes, she was too tired to stay awake any longer, so she went into a dreamless sleep.

The medicine knocked her out for a long time. She slept through the night, and woke up at 12:00 noon the next morning, she had already called for lunch and coffe, downed about 2 cups, an called her mom

"Hello, OUCH"

"mom?"

"Rory, yeah hi, im tripping over the clothes"

" what time does your flight come in?"

"well our flight was canceled, but we found other arrangements, dont worry about it now, I'll be there in about 2 hours"

"Okay, I'll let you go"

"bye babe"

Rory decided to watch a movie.. hmm.. what movie? maybe a chick flick? she ordered a walk to remember and it ran through the 2 hours when she heard the knock on her door.

"Rory?"

"coming" she habbled on her crutches *god this sucks*

Rory opened the door and saw her mom and her grandma, both with puffy eyes.

"Hi mom"

"Hey Ror" Lorelai carefully took her crutches from her and let her lean on her arm long enough for a long hug

"rory are you okay?" emily asked handing her crutches to her

"yeah, Im fine, tired, but fine"

"okay dear, you go lie down, and Im going to have someone pack up richards stuff"

"mom, will you lie down with me?"

"sure, come on"

Lorelai and Rory lie down on Rorys king size bed and rory lets her mom play with her hair

"mom, Im scared"

"of what?"

" I cant imagine life without grandpa"

"i know... me either" Lorelai said, while rory snuggled closer to her mom and fell asleep

Emily came in the room about half an hour later and saw them on the bed. She looked around the room, and saw rorys camera. she snapped a few shots of them together to finish off the roll. *rory will be pleased when she wakes up and sees her pictures developed- shes been through so much* she thought.

She decided to let rory open the picures first, so she laid them on the night stand. She looked around and saw Rorys foot off the stack of pillows, she carefully lifted it back up and kissed her cheek.

Lorelai suddenly was aware of movement, so she got up "Mom?" Emily turned around "yes?"

"umm since you know the dean so well, will you call him and tellhim that Rory wont be there for a few days when we get back?"

"Yes, i think that would be okay- how is she doing?"

"shes scared, i think the sooner we get her back, the better, Im going to rent her a bunch of videos and let her rest, she doesnt need to watch on tv what happened"

"good, She doesnt"

"when are we leaving?"

" i can get us a flight back tonight, if thats what you would like"

" are you okay with leaving? I mean.. if you're not ready to.."

"oh no, I dont want to stay here knowing this is the last place he was" she started crying

" I know mom.. I know"

"i loved him so much Lorelai"

"i know, me too"

Whithin two hours emily and Lorelai had all of rorys stuff packed and the sleepy Rory was sitting up on the bed looking at the pictures her grandmother developed for her. There were some pictures of her grandpa, they got alot of them together, then there were some of her mom and her alseep

"whatcha got there?" Lorelai asked

"pictures.. Look" she shoved her the pictures of them

"can i have one of these?"

"yeah, I have doubles- give these to grandma, she'll like them"

"good idea, come on babe, its time to go"

They got up and lorelai checked them out, while emily finalized the plans to ship richards things

"okay girls" emily started walking out the door The drive to the plane was short,

"who's plane is this?" rory asked

"you DONT want to know" loreali said

"you may as well tell her lorelai, someone from the family will be there to pick us up"

"ugh- its the DuGrey plane"

"WHAT?!?!"

"I told you"

"hes going to hold this over my head forever..." They slowly got up to the large steps to the plane- rory looked at the stairs in horror "I hate stairs"

"I know, but there is only a few of them"

Slowly, rory made her way up, then collapsed in her seat and quickly fell asleep- good thing too because they could see ALL of the smoke from the twin towers. The plane ride went fast, lorelai just watched rory sleep and emily busied herself with a letter she needed to write. Rory started to wake back up when the plane was staring to land.

"we're home?"

"yeah, we're home kiddo"

Rory started to get up but emily stopped her

"Im going to have someone come and help you out"

Rory sat back down, but quickly lost it when she saw who it was....
