Jess urged the bus to move faster, even though he knew he had no control over the speed. He rushed to the hospital room Sam was currently in.
She looked bruised and battered, but when she smiled at Jess, she looked like a thousand bucks.
"Hey Jess." She greeted him quietly.
"Hi Sam."
"I'm sorry I called you. I just needed someone to be with me, while I was staying here," Sam apologized and then looked around, puzzled. "Where is Alexia?"
Jess smirked a little and rubbed the back of his neck and told her. "She is with her mom."
Sam looked surprised and asked. "Really? Rory came back?"
"Yeah. I was shocked too. She was supposed to be in California, but her and her dad got in a fight so she came back."
"Wow! This is big, isn't it? Rory's responsible to take care of Alexia, right?" Sam commented.
"I hope so," He joked but after noticing Sam's concerned face, he continued. "It's okay. She'll be pretty good with Alexia and if she isn't, her mom will help her."
"Good."
"But enough about me, how are you?" He asked, sitting on the chair next to Sam's hospital bed.
"I'm okay," Hs stretched a little, than winced when she settled down. "Just bored."
"When will the doctors let you out?"
"In about a week. They said that they're worried that there might be internal bleeding." She answered calmly.
"Did they find out who robbed you?" Jess asked.
"No, but I have a pretty good idea."
"Who?" Jess wondered, looking like he would rip the head off the person who did that to Sam.
She sighed. "Remember those people Greg used to hang out with?" Jess nodded slowly, recognizing that Greg was Sam's boyfriend before he was killed. He also remembered that, even though Greg was a very kind and considerate person, he hung out with a shifty group.
"Yes." Jess urged her to go on.
"Well, apparently Greg owed them a lot of money before he died. Greg had no other family and they figured that I could pay his debt. They came after me."
Sam was now crying and Jess felt miserable. He wanted to kill whoever did this to her. The same strong, independent Sam that was like a big sister to him, she took him in when he was fifteen and drunk and let him throw up in her toilet, the one that inspired his love of books when she took him to the library when he was seven.
She was sobbing now and Jess felt vengeful. He got up and pulled on his coat.
"Where are you going?" She asked, wiping her tears and then looked alarmed when she saw the deep fury in his chocolate brown eyes. "No, no, no, no! You are not going over there!" She yelled.
"Look what they did to you!" He gestured to her and her bruises. "I can't let them go after what they did to you!"
Sam tried to reason with Jess. "Think about Alexia, Jess! They could easily kill you! Do you want your daughter to live without a father like you had to?"
"No," He answered softly and then returned to her bedside table. "You should tell the police."
"I don't know their names. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell them. They'd probably do a lot worse than just break some bones." She, for the first time Jess had ever known her, sounded petrified and small.
A white-suited nurse came in and told Sam that she needed her shots. It quickly made her fall asleep.
"Young man," The nurse addressed Jess. "Will you be staying here the rest of the night?"
"Yes." He answered without hesitating and sat in the chair thinking about all the important things in his life. First to come to mind was of course, Alexia. Then Luke. He had a struggle figuring out who was in third place. It was between Sam and Rory. After thinking it through, he decided he could not chose for he loved them for different reasons. He love Rory in a romantically way and Sam in a family way. He thought Sam was, when he was five, his actual sister. Jess was amused at how naive he was and, for the first time since he came to the hospital, smiled.
Satisfied with his decision, he slowly fell asleep in the stiff armchair.

Good? Awful? Please review and tell me! Next chapter should be mostly about Alexia, Rory and maybe some Lorelai!
