*A/N Okay just for the record, when I put chapters up here, it doesn't nessecarily mean they are finished. Usually I only have about half done. The chapter isn't done until I place an authors note at the end! Have fun reading!* ACK!!! Writers block again! I coud have had this chapter up finished but I just can't think what to do next! So it may take longer than I thoguht to get this chapter up and going but once I get past this obstacle there's no stopping me!
Chapter 3: Wake up Call
It was two days after the accident and Rory still showed no signs of awaking. Everyone was starting to worry. Even if her vitals were raising, that meant nothing if she wasn't awake. Rory had stayed by her side with Luke for almost every minute since she first arrived. Michel made sure it was known she wouldn't be at work for a while, so she had that covered.
Suddenly Rory stirred. Lorelai jumped up away from Luke and over to Rory's bed. "Luke!!! She moved! I think she's waking up... go get a nurse or a doctor or something!!!"
"Really? She moved? I'm going! I'll b right back! Watch her like a hawk Lore!" he said winking.
Lorelai was ecstatic as she waited for another sign of life from her little girl. The doctor arrived almost instantly and went to work checking out Rory.
"Yep, looks like our boarder is finally deciding to wake up. I'm going to go get a nurse to get some food for when she is awake. Watch for any more signs of movement." the doctor said as he walked back out the door.
Lorelai watched over Rory waiting for even one more twitch or jerk to prove she wasn't wrong. A few minutes later, Rory's eyes flickered open then back shut. She definately was coming to. "RORY!!!" Lorelai wrapped Rory into a hug, then burst into tears. Rory's eyes opened to a slit and she whispered something Lorelai couldn't make out. "I was so worried! How do you feel sweetie?"
"OWCH! Sore. Where am I?" Rory questioned.
"In the hospital dear. You and Dean were in a terrible car accident." Lorelai said carefully.
"Where is Dean? Is he alright?" Rory tried to sit up but felt too weak to move.
"Dean was released a few days ago. He only got a concussion. He went home immediatly after being told he could go."
"Oh. Ok then..." Rory said quietly. "I bet he didn't want to see me because I disappointed him. He only got a concussion, I was out cold for a few days. He probably thinks I'm weak." Rory thought. "When can I go home Mom?" Rory asked.
"We'll find out hun. Just wait. The nurse should be here any second with some food. I know how much you want to eat hospital food!" Lorelai smirked. She felt so much cheerier now that Rory was awake. "Speaking of food, where is that nurse! Shhe should have been here a while ago! I'll be right back honey, I'm just going to go hunt her down and kill her for my coffee." Lorelai said as she winked to Luke. Lorelai left the room leaving Luke and ROry time to talk one on one.
"You really like my mom don't you?" Rory asked.
"What, huh, you, no, well I guess so." Luke blushed furiously. "I hope it doesn't bother you. I'd lose one of my best customers if it did!" Luke joked.
"No, not at all, I saw this coming months ago. I just wish it hadn't taken you guys so long to figure it out yourselves!!!" Rory chuckled. "I'm glad you came Luke. I would have died from mom's corny jokes if it wasn't for you."
"Hey no problem! I can't let anything happen to you or your mom, my cakes, doughnuts, and coffee would rot away." Luke smiled tenderly at Rory.

Dean looked at his watch. It was ten past midnight. Third night in a row he was awoke by his dream. In his dream, well actually nightmare, Rory was standing in the Chilton hallway and he had come to visit her. She saw him and gave him a look of utmost disgust and ran off the other way. He'd call after her but she'd never look back. What upset him most about the dream is he thought it was a premonition. He sat there for another fiftenn minutes before getting up and grabbing a warm drink. He settled back into bed and lay thinking about what a jerk he was and how stupid Rory would be to take him back. He settled into another restless sleep after twenty minutes of worrying. He had decided the best way to keep her happy would be to avoid her. He'd have to stay away from her for now on, no matter how much it hurt him, he convinced himself it was for the good of Rory.
*A/N Okay, I know this chapter is extremely short but I couldn't make anything fit! So I started fresh on a new chapter. I'm SOOOO excited! I'm getting to the good part! I'll try and fit it into the next chapter. Latah!*
