Thanks for reviewing!

I own nothing!

Yes, I am alive. Sorry for not updating sooner!

After the long stressful week Rory fell asleep during Casablanca on Tristan. Tristan hugged her close to him and closed his eyes smiling. He hasn't been this happy in a long time. Since Tristan and Rory where facing the TV they hadn't seen the man watching them the whole time. He was waiting. Waiting for the perfect time to strike. It was five p.m. and Tristan knew Rory would get hungry soon so he untangle himself from Rory and went to Luke's.

Rory was sleeping on the couch when the lights in the house went off. She got up to see Tristan gone from the room and the electricity out. Rory went to the junk closet and started searching. "I know mom has some kind of flashlights in here." She told herself out loud.

Just then a flashlight clicked on and Rory turned around. Her eyes widen in horror as she saw her ex-boyfriend. "I found one." He said with an evil smile on his face.

"Sam." Rory whispered. She quickly scanned the area and she was stuck in the closet.

"Came to see you Angle face." He said handing her the flashlight.

"What about the restraining order?" Rory asked panicking.

"Did you really think a piece of paper is going to keep me away from you?" Sam said stepping back but he held onto her arm. His grip was hard and was making bruising on Rory. "I think we need to talk. Don't you? Soooo, who's the new guy."

"My boyfriend." Rory whispered. She gripped the flashlight tighter. She had to wait until the right moment.

"YOUR WHAT!" He screamed and slapped Rory across the face. The slap caused Rory to go backwards and since he didn't let go of her arm, her shoulder dislocated. Rory let out scream of pain. He let go of her and turned around as if he was looking for something. Rory tried to crawl away but he kicked her forcing her to stay. A few minutes later someone open the front door.

"Rory?" Tristan asked as he entered the dark house.

"Tris…." Rory tried but was kicked and she whimpered.

"RORY?" He asked urgently. He walked down the hallway were Sam was waiting for him.

"WATCH OUT!" Rory screamed not caring about what was going to happen to her. Tristan ducked just as Sam threw another flashlight at him. Tristan tackled him as Rory went for the phone and thank God for once was on the charger. She dialed 911.

"Help." Rory whispered and told them the address. "I hurt so much." She told the operator. Tristan and Sam was fighting on the floor still. Rory passed out from pain just as she saw flashing lights.

Few hours later

Rory groaned as she tried to open her eyes. "Rory? Can you open your eyes?" A strange voice asked.

Rory managed to crack open her eyes only to close them when a bright light went into them. "Rory, honey, open your eyes." Her mother's voice told her.

Rory opened her eyes to see her mother blue eyes staring down at her. "Mommy, I really hurt."

"I know, baby." Lorelai said holding her daughter's hand. Luke was next to Lorelai rubbing her back.

"Tristan?" Rory mumbled closing her eyes again as the pain medicine washed over her.

"A black eye but other then okay. He's talking to the police. Oh, Rory why didn't you tell me?" Lorelai asked the last question almost mournful but Rory was already sleeping. Tristan walked in a minute later his eyes filled with worry.

"how is she?" Tristan asked smoothing her hair out.

"She woke up but just for a minute. She said she hurts and asked about you. Then, like a true Gilmore Girl, fell back asleep. The doctor cleared her for being out of danger." Luke told Tristan because Lorelai was to choked up.

"Why didn't she tell me?" she asked again this time more to herself and not Rory.

"I don't know." Luke told her. Tristan stood silently next to Rory holding her hand. Lorelai looked at Tristan.

"You love her, don't you?" Lorelai asked tears starting to fall down her face.

"Yea. Since high school." Tristan said softly.

"Good." Lorelai said. Luke saw the bags under her eyes. She was so tired and 8 months pregnant too.

"Lorelai, why don't we go home and sleep. Let Tristan watch her." Luke said to Lorelai. Trying to convince her is going to be hard. She loves Rory so much.

"No, what if something happens." Lorelai said half asleep on Luke.

"He'll call us." Luke said nodding to Tristan who nodded back at him. Tristan sat down on a chair still holding Rory's hand. Lorelai kissed Rory's forehead before leaving. Luke smoothed Rory's hair before following Lorelai. She just was his stepdaughter but he loved her just as much as she loved his child growing in Lorelai. Sleep soon over came Tristan and he fell asleep with his face in his arms.

The Next Morning

Rory woke up with a very dry throat. When she went to move her right arm. She couldn't. Rory frowned and remembered that her left shoulder was dislocated so she looked at her right arm to see Tristan holding onto her hand in his sleep. She tried to get her hand out but Tristan wouldn't let anything like that happen.

"Tristan." She managed to get out in a hoarse whisper. He still wouldn't wake up but then a nurse came in.

"Hi, You look thirsty." The nurse said. Rory nodded, then nodded to Tristan. "I'll wake him up for you. Excuse me, Sir, you need to wake up." Tristan woke up slowly and looked around to see were he was.

"Tristan." Rory mumbled to get his attention. Tristan attention went to Rory right away. The nurse smiled and help Rory sip some water. "Thank-you." The nurse nodded and walked out of the room.

"How are you feeling?" Tristan asked smiling.

"I would feel better if you let of my right hand." Rory told him. Tristan eyes widen and he let go of her arm.

"How do you feel now?" he asked smiling at her.

"Like a truck ran over me." Rory said trying to smile but her face hurt to much to.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" He asked Rory helping her sit up in the chair.

"I didn't want anyone to worry about me." Rory said looking away in shame. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Its okay." Tristan said climbing in next to her and hugging her.
