Recap

[Jay's house]

"Get out bitch!" He grabbed her arm again and pulled her out.

"Please stop!"

He pulled her into the house and to his room. He pushed her on to the bed.

"I'm sorry. This isn't about you! You just dated the wrong guy!"

Mike was now pulling up. He saw his car. Jay had ripped off Rory clothes by now and started.

"STOP! PLEASE!" Rory screamed those words through her tears.

Mike didn't need to break down the door Jay left it open. He heard Rory and ran up the stairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Get off her man!" He punch Jay

Jay went after Mike, but he was no match for him. Mike punched him 3 times and he was down. Rory just sat there in shock. Mike went over to her.

"Rory, it's me Mike. Tristan's friend. We are going to get you to the hospital."
He put he coat around her and got her into the car. They drove to the hospital.

Tristan was all ready there. He had 3 broken ribs, a broken wrist, and needed 10 stitches on his head.

"Excuse me Miss?" Mike asked for the nurse

"Yes?"

"This girl was rapped. What does she need to do?"

"Well, can you call her parents and we are going to go run some test and such."

"Right this way." She put Rory in a Wheel Chair

"Oh Ma `am! What room is Tristan Du Gray in?"

"354"

Mike went to Tristan's room.

"Yo, man what happened?"

"Well, he tried to rape her. I don't know how far he got. I punched him out. Rory is getting examined right now."

"I'll kill him!" He tried to get up but it hurt to much

"Hey, calm down."

"Rory, is she, OK?"

"I don't know........" Mike sat up from the bed." Hey I need to call her Mom dude."

"My cell. Speed Dial #1"

Mike called Lorelai and she was on her way. Rory came into the room.

"Rory!" He again tried to get up but it hurt to much.

"Tristan!" She touched his face.

"Rory, are you OK?" He hugged her. "I was so scared! I thought i lost you. That he had killed you!" Tristan began to cry alittle

"I'm OK, I think..."

"I will kill him!"

"Tristan calm down. It's better that we are crying then dead! Or apart from eachother. Because with out you i think i whould die anyway."

"But....."

"No, shhhhh...."

"I don't know. How to deal with this...."

"Tristan. I love you! And nothing will ever change that. I do feel I little weird. And I want to hurt him as much as you do. But u killing him, and going to jail. Not at the top of my list."

"Fine. My dad will have our law agency nail that bastard."

"Thank you." She kissed him

Lorelai was running into the room.

"Rory!" She ran over and hugged her.

"Oh God Mom."

"Are you OK. I was so worried."

The three of them were there all night. Rory spent most of the night crying or being mad, Tristan was just pissed off. Emily and Richard came the next day. Tristan's parents sent their best investigator. He got the pictures of Jay, talked to Rory, Tristan, and Mike. The case started right away.

"Rory, dear, Your grandfather and I got you two a nicer room." Emily said

"Mom, that's really no....."

"Of course it is!" Emily said

"Really Lorelai it is nothing." Richard said

"Thank you sir. And you too Mrs. Gilmore." Tristan said

"Yea thanks" Said Rory

"Not at all dears. But we have to get going. We love you Rory! I'll stop by tomorrow. Lorelai we have gotten you a hotel room right across the street."

"Thank you Mom."

"Not at all dear. I hope you both feel better soon, and don't worry. With Mr. Dugray and Richard working on this that boy will not get off!"

They left.

"Rory, Honey. I love you. But there is a room across the street and I am really tried."

"Mom, say no more. I have Tristan here and go!"

"Thank you, I'll be back soon. And I'll bring the two of you REAL coffee!" She kissed Rory's head and left

Now only Rory and Tristan were left in the room.

"Tristan, I'm sorry."

"For what baby?"

"This is all my fault."

He sat up. "No! It is mine! I was the one who he was mad at."

"But if...."

"NO! The both of you stop!" Andrew came in and so did Lane. "This is not either of your faults! It is the asshole who did this to the two of you!" Andrew told them

"Oh Rory!" Lane hugged, very like her mother did. "Are you OK?"

"No, not really, but I _will_ be."

"Hey man. Wow he did a number on you face....." Andrew said

"Thanks." They hugged too

"Do you know who did this?" Lane asked

"Some guy, Jay Shady...." Rory said

"No shit! That guy got in trouble a few back for drunk driving."

"Then it should be that hard to prove him guilty and shit." Tristan said

"Yeah man, but his father is at the top of O'brian and Nemen."

"Fuck, I forgot about that."

"Wait who is O'brian and Nemen?" Rory and Lane wasn't following

"One of the top Law ferms in the US." Andrew said

"But isn't your dad and my grandfather have top people too?"

"Yeah, But there have only been 100 cases out of 2000. That they have lost. The odd are pretty good for them."

"But aren't raps normally open and shut cases? I mean I took that test and the got evidence on him."

"I hope so baby."

The three of them talked for 2 hours.

"Rory baby, I got to go. My Mom will spaze if I am here to long. Oh yeah she hope you feel better and told you to stay away from boys. I love you!" They hugged

"Hey you need a ride?" Andrew asked

"Um.....yeah sure."

"Hey Rory feel better and Tristan, nothing has kept you down before I don't think this will." Andrew said and left with Lane

The next day everyone they knew came in; Ms. Patty, Luke (all day long!), Mr. Madena, The Dean of Chilton, Some of the kids from Chilton (mostly girl woundering how Tristan was) Taylor, ~~~Chris, John, Dan. ~~~all of Tristan's Friends.

But when they thought the day was finally over two VERY unexpected people walked in....

"Are they here to start trouble?" Tristan saw them from down the hall.

"I hope not....."
