Lorelai woke up in the middle of the night, looking at Rory's heart monitor and sighed with relief to see it was still going. She jumped a little when she saw a figure on the other side of the bed, but it was just Jess asleep in the chair. She then turned her attention back to Rory, wondering how they got here, how she let this happen.

She walked down the streets of New York City, the city lights blurring her vision. Older men were giving her looks, but she was too numb to notice. But not quite numb enough, she figured, as she slipped into a liquor store.

She wandered out and sat on a bench, holding the bottle in her hand, staring at it. Then she closed her eyes, unscrewed the lid, and down the hatch it went. Then one thought popped in her head, she had forgotten to call Chris.

The effects of the alcohol were instant, so she figured it would make this phone call a little easier. She pulled out her cell phone, taking a few minutes to dial his number, before putting the phone up to her ear.

"Hello?" came Chris's voice, tired and annoyed, from the other end.

"Don't sound so grumpy. Rise and shine!" Lorelai yelled.

"Lorelai, what's going on?"

"Oh, well, not much. Rory's in a coma from the plane crash, and, other than that I'm really in the mood for Kentucky Fried Chicken."

"What do you mean Rory's in a coma?"

"Yep, Rory's in a coma. Yep."

"Lor, are you drunk?"

"Oh, no no."

"Look, it's not funny, giving me a scare like that. Now, I think it's time you set the bottle down and crawled in bed."

"Chris, please, no," Lorelai slurred, setting her head in her hands.

"Take some asprin. Goodnight," he said, hanging up.

"God!" Lorelai yelled, throwing her cell phone out into the street in front of her, before it got run over like a car.

She shook her head, before she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She jumped and turned to see an older man, with a look in his eye.

"I'm fine, really," she said, turning back around.

He came and sat close to her, a little too close. "Doesn't look that way to me."

"Well looks can be deceiving."

"You just need something to relax you," he said, putting his arm around her.

"I'm really fine," Lorelai said, trying to get up, the man tightening his grip around her shoulder.

"Your not going anywhere," he said, hooking arms with her and dragging her up.

"Stop!" Lorelai yelled, trying to resist.

The man showed her a glimpse of gun that made her silent. She swallowed, trying to not only figure out what to do, but also how to breath.

They reached a tiny house, and when they got in, he crushed her against a wall, pressing his lips against hers.

"Stop," Lorelai murmured, about to cry, when he showed her the gun again.

She went silent, breathing hard, when he pushed her against the wall again, harder this time, pressing his lips against hers and beginning to undo her shirt, as tears streamed down Lorelai's face.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Luke woke up to silence, a deafening one at that. He looked around the room, his heart beating faster for a moment as he realized there was someone in the bathroom. He got up quietly, going outside the door, when it flew open and he jumped back.

"Jeez," came an all to familiar voice as Luke tried to catch his breath. "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with you?" Luke said.

"I'm not the one creeping around bathroom doors man, that's creepy."

"I didn't know you were here."

"Got here late last night," Jess said, stepping out and freezing at the sight of Rory.

Luke came up and put a hand on his shoulder. Jess looked at his feet. "It's more real in the light."

"I would figure. Listen, have you seen Lorelai?"

"Nope. Got up and no one was here.'

"When did you get up?"

"The sun was just rising. Believe it or not, the chairs not the best place to sleep," Jess said, turning around.

"Well you could have hopped in with us," Luke said, grinning.

Jess cringed. "Don't be sick."

"I'm going to try to find her."

"I'd check the coffee machines."

"Yeah I hadn't thought of that," Luke said sarcastically, leaving the room.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Lorelai barely opened her eyes before shutting them again, from the immense throbbing in her head. She was sure it was hangover, until she reached up and felt a bump on her head, her hair sticky from what she thought was blood.

"Good morning sunshine," said the man from the night before.

She looked up to see a gun pointed at her. She screamed, making her head ache more, this time from the hangover.

"What do you want from me? I'll give it to you, I'll give you anything."

"I want you."

"Well, that's not really an option."

He came closer with the gun as Lorelai cringed. "I think it is. You know what else I think?"

"What?" Lorelai said, trying to sound convincing.

"I think that your going to stay right here while I go out, I have some important things to get."

"Planning on a threesome later?"

"Oh no, your all I can handle. We connected, I felt it."

Lorelai gagged.

"If I find you gone, you can be sure that I will make the rest of your life more than a hell than it was when you came to me for help."

Lorelai blinked at him, not knowing what to say.

"Okay then, glad we understand each other," he said, leaving and locking the door behind him.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Jess sat in the chair next to Rory, looking at her face, and thinking about what it used to be. He couldn't help but feel guilty, but could practically hear her voice getting worked up saying how it wasn't his fault, but yet the room was silent.

He wondered if this was the end, if when he watched her board the plane would be the last time he ever saw her, as well, her.

He put his head down and sighed, remembering the first time he saw her, and trying to smile, but it didn't come.

Luke came bursting through the door. "Jeez man what's with you today," Jess said, not looking up, trying to hide some of the tears that had formed in his eyes.

"It's Lorelai, she's gone," Luke said, looking through his stuff franticly. He picked up his cell phone, calling her number. "I thought this thing was supposed to have a use," he said when the operator said that the number had been disconnected.

He hung up the phone, gazing out the window behind Jess.

"So…" Jess began, when the phone rang. Luke threw it on the bed, shocked that it had rung at all, before franticly picking it up.

"Lorelai?"

"Luke, help me, please. I'm in a house behind the liquor store," Lorelai said, sobbing, when Luke heard a man's voice yelling.

Then there was a slam, that sounded like a door, and Lorelai wailing.

"Lorelai!" Luke yelled, when he heard a scream and a loud bang.

A/N- I know, this chapter is a little late, my computer crashed this weekend, and my brother is coming tonight, so there won't be a great flow of updating the next few days. This chapter had some more disturbing/intense things, but I do believe this story is rated T, so yeah! Thanks for reading and all the reviews, more ASAP.
