(Rory's point of view)
It's been a little over three years since I graduate from Yale. I was on the campaign trail for 18 months. Then my Grandfather had a stroke. I rushed home. I couldn't stay away. I applied for jobs near by. A year ago I got offered a job. Hartford Couran offered me a position as a writer in their business section.
I was so happy to be home. Mom and Luke had gotten back together. April's Mom died of cancer a little over a year ago. April came back to Stars Hallow to live. She's a good kid. I felt bad she lost her Mom. She's 16 now and really smart. Though I really liked her I didn't want to share a room at 25 years old. So I moved into an apartment right outside Stars Hallow near Hartford.
It was nice to be home. I spend a lot of time in Stars Hallow. I do spend Friday and Sunday night with my Grandparents though. And I normally spend Saturday night with Dad and Gigi and if Dad has a date or is out of town it's just Gigi and I. I love being able to hang out with Lane more. The twins are so big now.
I have to admit though I stay busy I am lonely. Logan and I talked when the campaign trailed stopped in L.A. We decided to be friends. He met a great girl. I'm happy for him but I'm also jealous that he moved on. I've only dated a little. I mainly focused on my family.
I had made another really good friend. Liz Jess' Mom and I have become really good friends. It's been a little strange especially knowing all the issues Jess had with her. She's really sweet and funny though. She really misses Jess. We talk about him a lot. She keeps me updated since she talks with him once a week. She's the only person I've told about Philly except for Lane. Liz keeps trying to get me to call Jess. I know he doesn't want to hear from me after what I did.
I was just about to walk out the door when my phone rang. "Hello." I said. "Rory." Mom said sounding upset. "What's wrong Mom?" I asked worried. "Liz is in the hospital and Luke's been arrested." She answered. "What's happened?" I asked really confused. "Short version is that T.J. has been cheating on Liz. Liz found out and called Luke. While they were fighting Liz went to get help. She went into the street and got ran over by a car. The police arrived and arrested Luke and T.J. and took Liz to the hospital." Mom explained.
I wasn't sure what to say. "What can I do?" I asked after a long pause. "Can you get to the hospital and call Jess for me?" Mom asked. "Sure I'll do it." I answered. I quickly ran to my car. I felt nervous dialing Jess' number. I just hoped he would answer.
"Hello." Jess said. "Jess?" I questioned. "Uh, yeah." He said. "It's Rory." I said. "Oh uh hey." He stuttered. "Jess I'm so glad I got a hold of you. Your Mom is in the hospital. I think you should come." I said. "What happened to her?" He asked. "Liz got ran over by a car." I answered.
"Is she going to be okay?" He asked. He sounded little a kid. "I don't know Jess. I'm on the way to the hospital now." I answered. "Why didn't Luke call me?" Jess asked confused. "He's busy just please hurry and get here." I said.
"I'm on my way. Hopefully I'll be on the next plane." He stated. "Okay well I'm going to go." I said. "Thanks for calling me Rory." He said. "Okay bye." I said hanging up. I quickly arrived at the hospital. I went in search of someone who could tell me how Liz was. I was hoping Mom could bail Luke out.
