Here is the new chapter. enjoy. I don't own the gilmore girls
Chapter 4 Rory POV
"Where am I" I say rubbing my head, feeling a nice size bump forming.
"Hey are you okay, sorry about the football" a tall brunette boy says coming up closer.
"I think so, my head hurts a little" I say.
"Normally when people yell incoming you duck Mare" A blonde says walking over and touching my forehead. He looks oddly familiar.
"Tristan" I say confused.
"Yeah, are you sure you're okay babe" he says kissing my head.
"I think I'm hallucinating" I say stepping back.
"Maybe we should bring you down to the health center to get check out" Tristan says worried. "Check you later Bowman" he says taking my hand and walking away.
"What am I going to do with you Mare, first day of freshman orientation and I have you be your knight in shining armoire. I better be getting some reward later for this" he says walking and I stop.
"What the hell are you talking about Dugray" I yell at him.
"Resorting to last names are we, you haven't called me that since junior year Mare" he says smirking at me.
"Junior year…are you talking about Chilton? Where the hell am I" I say staring at him in disbelief.
"Harvard freshman orientation Mare, maybe I should call Lorelai and have her come back. She can't be too far" He says taking out his phone.
"No, that's okay. I just need to lay down for a while" I say taking the phone from him and glancing at the screen saver that is me on his back at the beach.
"When was this taken" I question and he smirks.
"Spring break in March, Maddie took it doing the bonfire" he says encircling my waist with his arms.
"Why" I say looking up at him.
"Maddie always captured us together when we least expect it. You know that. I want to get you checked out first and then we'll go back to your room and lay you down" he says kissing me softly on the lips. For some reason I don't move. It's like he does that all the time. Maybe I did hit my head harder than I think. I think I'm in a parallel universe. Let's think her Rory, what is the last thing you remember, I say to myself as Tristan leads me across campus. Getting in my car after Yale graduation to find Logan, crying in the car and then screaming as the tractor trailer comes flying at me and everything went black.
"Mare you still with me" he says and I break out of my trance to see that we are at the health center.
"We're here already" I say looking in the room.
"Ms. Turnbull, she was hit by a football on the east lawn by the freshman dorms and now she's acting weird. Well weirder than a Hayden that is" he tells her and I laugh. He must know me pretty well to know that. So that should mean that we are dating. But that can't be right. He left junior year during Romeo and Juliet and I haven't seen him since. And I was dating Logan for the last 3 years. And I already graduated Yale, I don't want to do college all over again. Wait he said freshman orientation that would make it….
"What year is it" I question and they look at me.
"2003" Tristan say looking worried.
"Right I knew that" I say and he just nods not really believing me.
"Ms. Hayden please sit down so I can check you over." the nurse says and I look at her. Hayden, why the yell is she call me that.
"It's Gilmore" I say and Tristan laughs.
"Babe you changed it junior year when Lor and Chris got married" he says and I look at him. No, mom and dad eloped in 2006.
"Are you sure" I say.
"I was there Mare, so yeah" he says looking at me funny. The nurse checks my eyes, my reflexes and temperature.
"I can't find anything wrong, try to sleep and see how you feel in the morning" she says excusing us.
"So, your room or mine" Tristan says smirking with dark eyes and I know that look. Logan gets that one when he wants me.
"Why don't we go to mine and then decide" I say not knowing where it was anyways.
"Sounds like a plan" he says kissing me lightly and it feels can of nice.
"You really had no idea where you're going do you" he laughs as we finally arrive at my dorm with is a double.
"Hey I found the coffee cart didn't I" I say laughing and holding up the coffee.
"You can find any coffee cart in a mile radius with that nose" he laughs tapping my nose.
"True" I say opening the door with the key in my pocket. That was weird as well. I have short denim shorts and I blue spaghetti strap shirt on instead of the light purple dress I wore for graduation. "Wow this is nice, are you sure we're freshman" I say looking at the common room with the 52" plasma and surround sound system and massive DVD collection. The couches and table. So different than my Yale dorm. This one yells me.
"Privileges of being a Hayden and Grant" he says pulling me down on the couch on is lap.
"Louise is here, but I thought she was going to Brown" I say confused.
"She was until Daddy Grant threatened to take away the precious cards if she didn't come here" he says pulling my face to him and kissing me harder. "Hey what's wrong" he questions because I didn't kiss him back.
"Louise can walk in any second Tristan" I say trying to stand up. I feel like I'm cheating on Logan.
"Hey that never stopped us before" he says pulling me back down.
"Tris please, my head is killing me I just want to lay down" I say begging him. There's no way I'm making out with him right now.
"Okay, I'm sorry but I missed you. You and the girls had to take the last two week for that vacation, leaving me to fend for myself" he says almost pouting.
"I'm sorry, what do you say let me sleep now and I'll make it up to you" I say running my hand across his chest like I used to with Logan to get my way. I can feel the tight muscles of his chest under my fingers and I have a strong desire to see them and touch them.
"Anyway I want" he questions.
"Anything, I just need to rest" I say yawning.
"Let's get you to bed" he says standing up and lifting me into bridal carry and walking towards what I presume is my room. As soon as my head hit's the pillow I feel myself closing my eyes.
Hartford Medical Logan POV
It's been 12 hours and Ace is still in a coma. They state that she has brain activity which is good. I'm looking at her through the glass of ICU to see Lorelai talking to her. Everyone is still in shock. None of us have left the hospital, in fear of her waking up and seeing no one or losing her all together. "I feel so helpless" I say closing my eyes as I stand there.
"We all do son" Richard say handing me a cup of coffee.
"I just don't get it. They say she has brain activity, but she's no waking up" I say and he shrugs.
"Maybe she doesn't want to yet. She's letting herself heal before coming back to us" he says looking inside to see Lorelai crying.
"Emily and I are going to go home, but we'll be back. Keep believing that she'll come back to us" he says tapping my shoulder and walking away.
"Do you want to go and sit with her" Lorelai says finally emerging from the room. She has been in there since thy wheeled her down here.
"Are you sure, I know Chris wants to see her" I say.
"I think she needs to know you're here. Maybe knowing that she'll wake up" Lorelai says still crying and I nod.
I walk in to see my Ace, so pale. Hooked up to machines to help her breathe and monitoring her heart rate and brain activity. I can barely look at her. I know now how she felt those hours in the hospital with me. I never truly appreciated her 24/7 care and waiting for me. I sit down in the chair next to the bed and take her lukewarm hand in mine holding on for dear life. Using the other to push away the hair my her forehand so I can see her eyes. The stitches and bruises covering her forehead and the side of her neck. Her one eye bandaged because of the glass that was removed from it. "Hey beautiful" I say knowing my voice is breaking.
"You need to wake up Ace. I need you to wake up. Everyone wants you to wake up and come back to us, please I know that you're upset at me. But baby please wake up. I love you Ace. I was such a idiot hours ago. All of nothing, what was I thinking. I can't lose you Ace. I wanted you to be with me so bad, that I never thought about what you were going threw. Please wake up so I can tell you that I want to be with you. That whatever you need, I give you. My entire heart is yours forever Ace" I say caressing her hair and crying. When the heart machine goes crazy with beeping and the doctor and two nurses come rushing in the room and pushed me out. It looks like her body is in convulsions.
Review and let me know what you think!
