Chapter 5
Friday
Later that day, Rory goes to meet her mom at the inn, since it's lightly snowing and the weather is cold she is bundled in a thick blue coat with a beautiful white scarf
made of a fluffy material and mittens that match. Arriving at the Inn, Rory enters and the first person that she sees is Michel Gerard. He's the french receptionist of the
inn, he gives the impression of rudeness but Rory doesn't buy it. She loves the relationship that her mother and Michel have, it's like they both go to extreme measures
to surpass themselves in their verbal assaults. She left the front desk and headed for the kitchen where Sookie works and where her mother would probably be, since
that's where the coffee pot is. Entering the kitchen she notices the smell of food, and her stomach starts to growl, man is she hungry, she can't wait to eat her super,
unfortunately tonight is Friday and they are going to her grandparents house to eat like every Friday night. Looking in the kitchen she spies Sookie assistants keeping
their eyes on the food but mostly on Sookie, for she is accident prone, on her hands you see many bandages, for all the cuts that she sustained while creating
masterpieces in the kitchen. Sookie notices Rory's entrance.
"Hello, Beautiful" saying with a big smile.
"Hi Sookie, How are you?" answering her with her own smile.
"Just fine, as usual, always busy you know. How about you?"
"I'm Ok, just tired, that's all. Have you seen mom around?" asks Rory wondering where she could be.
"I know she went to talk to a customer on the third floor, she was complaining about something, your mom will take care of it, she has a talent for dealing with people,
she has great communication skills. She should be back around here pretty soon, I mean this is where the coffee is" laughing out loud.
"I thought the same thing" also laughing out loud with Sookie.
"Rory are you hungry I could make you something to eat, if you want." Looking at her, as if she was her own child.
"No thank you, it's Friday night, you know the Grandparents diners"
"Yes I know I hear about it all day, every Friday"
Lorelai enters the kitchen and greets her daughter with a hug and a kiss, then heads for the coffee pot and refills her cup, sitting on a stool she looks at her coffee and
swallows half of it before saying.
"Another meal at grandma tonight, god is it always Friday? It seems like it's always Friday," saying exasperated.
"It's only two hours mom, we can do it, if we stick together, anyway I kind of like our diner's at grandma's house" looking at her mother and wondering if it was a good
idea to have said so.
"Yeah, It's not all bad, I mean except for me being skewered every time for being a bad daughter and screwing up my life, and being a nothing, and disappointing them
all the time for every little thing I do." heading for the coffeepot to refill her cup again "Yeah it's not all bad"
Standing Lorelai picks up her coat and joins her daughter, who is waiting near the door ready for the drive to Hartford. Lorelai then asks if Rory wants to go change
her clothes before going to the grandparents, she answers yes for the change of clothes, as they head for home, Lorelai contemplates not going to the family meal, bet
she knows she can't bow out of it.
Rory changes her clothes and so does Lorelai. They both leave to go to Hartford, while driving to her grandmother's house, Lorelai was thinking about what she would
wear on her date with Luke, which would make her daughter happy.
"Mom"
"Yes, honey, what's up"
"Well it's Dean"
"What did he do?"
"Ho! Nothing much, it's just that we don't talk as much as we used to"
"Well that's normal, there's always a lull after a while, but it will pick up later on"
"No I mean it's like he's with me but his mind is elsewhere do you think, that maybe he's not interested in me anymore"
"No I don't think so, but ask yourself if he still looks at you in the same way as in beginning"
"Yeah sometimes" says Rory with a big smile.
"I remember that feeling of being watched by someone who loves you, man do I miss it, What I wouldn't give to have Luke..." startled by Rory's screaming.
"Mom watch out" screaming and pointing at a deer in the middle of the street.
Lorelai tries in vain to swerve the jeep in another direction but she hits a patch of black ice, looses control of the car and runs off the road towards the ditch, as the car
rams into a tree. Lorelai fears for her daughter siting next to her, Rory tries to shield her face with her arms, and as they hit, Rory's belt hold's her and saves her life, but
while the car is bouncing all over the place she hits her head in the side window. Lorelai's belt hold barely then snaps in two she then goes into the steering wheel and
windshield, felling her ribs break and bend and felling the pain that comes with it, her head also hits the windshield and bounces back into the driver seat barely
conscious, she moves her head to the side and looks over to her daughter and sees blood coming out of a big gash on her head and blood smeared over her face, but
at least she's still breathing, as she tries to reach her with her arm she passes out.
Rory tries to open both eyes but only one seems to work at the moment, looking at her mother with her one good eye she sees that she is out and calls her. "Mom"
sounding like a croak. Then everything goes black and she passes out also.
