I don't own Gilmore girls.
The screeching of tires and the blaring of horns broke Jess's concentration.
"Shit." He heard his business partner Chris curse.
"What, what is going on?" Jess looked up from the book.
"Major accident." Chris jumped out of his chair and rushed towards Truncheon's doors.
"What?" Jess rushed behind him. "Matt come down here." He called up the stairs.
"What's going on? I was just working on the zeen."
"Accident." Jess said shortly following Chris out to the side walk. "Do we know who it is?" Jess asked Chris.
"Campaign bus for the presidential race."
"The Presidential candidate was on there?" Matt was wide eyed.
"No a bunch of Journalist."
Jess watched the wreck his blood running cold.
"Obama or McCain?"
"What?" Chris was watching the twisted metal and the arriving paramedics with fascination.
"Which party?" Jess was now frantic trying to crane over everything to see if she was there.
"Oh Democrat." Jess felt his stomach drop. Was she in the mess was she ok was she alive?" these questions rushed through his mind. He couldn't just stand there and watch it.
"I'm going inside." He was about to turn and head back towards the store when he saw her being pulled out of the wrecked bus on a stretcher. He made his way through the pressing crowd. Pushing and shoving to get to her.
"Where in the world is the crazy fool going?" Matt asked.
"I don't know." Chris shrugged.
He made it to the paramedic who was loading Rory into the ambulance. "Excuse me can you tell me if she's okay?"
The paramedic looked at him. "And you are?" Jess searched his brain and came up with the one thing he was sure was going to get him information.
"Her cousin."
"And she is?"
"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore." The paramedic's lips pressed together. "Okay get in the ambulance. Miss Gilmore Has a concussion and a cracked rib with a partially collapsed lung we don't have time to talk. Let's go." Jess jumped into the ambulance taking Rory's hand as the paramedics worked around him. When they got to the hospital Rory was rushed into surgery to correct her lung and Jess paced the waiting room. Until he finally thought of Lorelai he quickly pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and hit the diner's number.
"Luke's diner." Luke's voice rang in his ear.
"Uncle Luke is Lorelai there?"
"Jess?" Luke asked in confusion. "Why would you want Lorelai?"
"There was an accident outside of Truncheon it was the campaign bus Rory is in surgery right now "
"What?" Luke gasped. "Give me the information we'll be there as fast as we can." Jess rattled off the information he had. "Jess." Luke said before hanging up. "Thanks for calling, thanks for being there." With that the phone went dead and Jess slumped into one of the uncomfortable waiting room chairs his head between his legs. Running his hands roughly through his hair. He really did hate hospitals. They reminded him of all the times he was in them with an over dosed Liz. He also remembered the time him and Rory got into the accident back in high school.
Luke slammed the phone down and turned to yell into the kitchen. "Ceaser I'm out lock up." He ran out of the diner and jumped into his car racing towards the inn he got there in record time and threw the truck into park yanking the door open and jumping down almost at a run he rushed through the inns door almost knocking down a couple who were coming out. He didn't even stop to say hi to Michele he just rushed into the kitchen. He found Sookie and Lorelai laughing at the counter.
"Luke why are you all out of breath?" Sookie turned her eyes on him.
"Lorelai we have to go now." He tried to catch his breath.
"Why?" Lorelai arched her eyebrow.
"It's Rory we have to get to Philadelphia Rory's been in an accident. Jess just called he's with her but we need to get there she's in surgery right now."
"What!" Lorelai jumped up the words Rory and accident rushing through her mind. Luke grabbed her and brought her outside putting her in the car. "I have the directions we'll get you there."
Silence feel between them, a few minutes went by before Lorelai spoke. "How come Jess is there what happened?"
"All I know is that the bus got in an accident in front of Truncheon. Jess saw it after it happened or as it happened I don't know but he is with her in the hospital right now. He said she was in surgery nothing else."
Lorelai felt her eyes prickle. She couldn't believe her baby was hurt. "Do you have Jess's number in your phone?" she whispered.
"Yeah here." Luke fished his phone out of his pocket and handed it to her.
"Thanks." She scrolled through the contacts coming upon Jesse's number she hit the call button listening to the phone ring.
Jess heard the phone ringing and hit answer when he saw Luke's name on the screen. "Hello."
"Jess"
Jess was slightly surprised to hear Lorelai's voice but he figured that she just didn't have his number and he'd probably not have answered if he didn't know the number.
"Hey Lorelai."
"Jess can you tell me what is going on? We are on our way but I want to be prepared.
"Okay well the bus crashed in front of my book store I found out Rory was on so I went to look for her. It was crazy but I saw her being pulled out on a stretcher. So I kind of lied and told the paramedic I was her cousin so I rode in the ambulance with her. She is in surgery to fix a partially collapsed lung and she also has a cracked rib. I'm hoping she'll be done soon. And out by the time you get here."
Lorelai tried to keep calm as she listened to Jess talk about her daughter being hurt. "Jess thanks for being there."
"Of course Lorelai I'll see you and Uncle Luke when you get here. Tell uncle Luke to drive safely."
"Of course." With that the call disconnected and Jess slumped once again into the hard plastic chair he put his head in his hands and ran his hands through his hair. He hated being here. He didn't want to be here. His life felt like it was at a weird stand still. He'd thought about how and if Rory would come back into his life many times but he'd never thought it would happen like this. He had never wanted it to happen like this.
"Mr. Mariano." He looked up to see a Dr. coming towards him.
"Yes." He stood up waiting to find out how Rory was.
Meanwhile Lorelai felt like she was never going to make it to Philadelphia. She wanted to get there get to her daughter.
