Author's Note: Just some background info. Rory does not go to Chilton yet, she's at the point where she got in. But she still has yet to actually accept. She still goes to Stars Hollow High with Jess and Lane, but that will change. Here is Ch. 10, hope you enjoy. Ch.11 should be up on Thursday. Thanks for reading & reviewing, I love reading what others think of my story.

Lorelai walked into the private hospital room where her daughter lay, in some kind of coma. Tears rolled silently down her face. Why did this have to happen to Rory, when she had such a bright and promising future ahead of her. Lorelai closed her eyes, and hoped for a miracle that would save Rory.

Luke stood outside the door, and watched Lorelai staring at Rory. He felt awkward, being here, this was a family thing. And he wasn't family. "Look if you want to be alone, I can"

"Don't you dare leave me alone, come here," Lorelai grabbed at his jacket and buried her face against his chest. "I need you," her words were muffled against his chest.

"What did you say?" Luke asked, tipping her face up with his hand.

"I need you, no one else is here for me," Lorelai admitted. "You are like a father to her, and it's important to me that you are here for Rory."

"Okay, I"ll stay," Luke said gruffly.

"Good," Lorelai said.

Jess was upstairs in the apartment going through his books, until he found the two that he wanted. He grabbed them, stuffed them in his backpack, and then raced down the stairs and out in the dawning morning.

"What time is it?" Emily asked Richard. "5:49," Richard said monotonously.

"Should we go see if there has been any change to Rory?" Emily asked nervously.

"You should apologize to Lorelai," Richard said simply.

"What'd you mean?" Emily asked blindly.

"After what you said to her, who are you to accuse her of putting her daughter's life in danger. Rory is a grown woman and capable of making her own decisions. You had no right to say to Lorelai what you said."

Emily was completely shocked. "She is my daughter, and I will talk to her anyway I choose to."

"She is a mother, and she is torn to bits, torturing herself with the whatifs, you aren't helping by acting like a crazy mother who doesn't trust her daughter with her own daughter's safety and well-being."

"Hmph," Emily snorted, and turned away.

"I must kill her, she must die. Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill," Dean shouted crazily. I will kill her, if I could just get loose, and find her hospital room, a sane thought echoed from his mind. His eyes narrowed, when he saw a nurse come into the room. He closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

The nurse was humming to herself. She pulled out a syringe and injected it with a sedative, that would keep the psychotic patient asleep for at least 6 hours or more. She went over to him to inject it into his arm.

Dean opened his eyes, and looked at her. He smiled sweetly. "What are you giving me?"

"A sedative to help you sleep, now would you please give me your arm, so I could inject it," the nurse asked. She was unaware of the danger that this young man posed.

"Sure, but could you loosen the ties so I could turn over," Dean asked.

"Sure," the nurse bent down and unbound him across the chest. She bent over to get the needle.

Dean made his move. He bashed her over the head with his handcuffed hands. He hopped off the bed. He looked down. His hands and ankles were shackled. He grabbed a lock pick out of his jacket pocket and began to pick his locks. A plan was forming in his mind, how he could find Rory and finish her off. He smiled maniacally.

His locks were undone, he picked up the nurse, put her in the bed, and covered her with the blanket. He hid his shackles in the closet. He opened the door, and quietly slipped out. He was on his way to find his love.

Jess walked back into the hospital at 6:14, he walked to Rory's room. Lorelai was sitting by the bed, holding Rory's hand and talking to her. Luke stood behind her, with his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey," Jess said.

Lorelai turned around, "Hey." "What'd you bring?"

"Just some books, would you mind if I read to her for a bit?" he asked.

"No, that's fine, you can sit with her, while Luke and I go find some coffee," Lorelai dragged Luke out of the room.

Jess closed the door, sat in the chair by her bed, and opened Oliver Twist and started to read. After half an hour, his head began to nod, so he closed the book. He looked at Rory, she was sleeping, so serene like an angel.

He talked to her, told her about his life in New York, told her things, he'd never told anyone. Even though he knew she was asleep, in some way, he knew that she could hear him and was listening to every word that was coming out of his mouth.

Blackness surrounded her, she felt a light encompass her, she heard a soothing voice talking to her. She didn't know who it was? She knew that this person made her feel safe.

Jess was talking about his unknown father, when he saw Rory's eyelids begin to flicker. "Rory, you're awake."

She opened her eyes, looked around the room, back at Jess, and said, "Who's Rory?"

Jess sat there, completely shocked, "You don't know who you are?"

"No, I don't remember anything," she looked at him. "Are you my boyfriend?"

"What makes you think that?" he asked.

"I feel some kind of connection to you, not like a family connection, something else, like we're soulmates," she admitted bluntly.

"I gotta go, find a doctor," he walked to the door.

"What's your name?" Rory asked.

"Jess, Jess Mariano," he said before closing the door.

Jess walked to the cafeteria. Saw Lorelai and Luke sitting at one table, on the opposite side of the room, from Emily and Richard.

"What is it?" Lorelai asked.

"She woke up," Jess said.

"That's great," Lorelai smiled.

"There's just one more thing, she doesn't remember anything," Jess said, his voice full of emotion.

"What'd you mean, she has amnesia?" Lorelai asked worried.

"I guess so, let's go find a doctor," Jess said.

Rory lay in her bed, looking around at the white walls. Her mind was a complete blank. She heard the door open, and hoped it was that dark-haired hottie, called Jess would come back.

The door opened, a tall lanky guy poked his head in. He instantly aroused a sense of dread and fear in her. She had the strangest feeling that she knew him and that he was also the reason for why she was here like this.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"You don't remember?" the guy asked astonished.

"No I don't remember anything," she said honestly.

"Then who I am, is not important, just remember this. When you remember you will die, and so will all those you love. When you remember, you'll remember me. I'll see you soon." He closed the door, and walked down the hallway.

Lorelai burst into the room, looking for her daughter. "Who are you?" Rory asked her.

"I'm your mother, Lorelai," she said.

"Where's Jess?" Rory asked.

"Right here," a voice said from behind Lorelai.

"Come here," Rory beckoned.

Jess walked over to her side, and sat down, holding her hand in his. "Who's that?" she pointed to Luke.

"I'm Luke," Luke said.

"Are you and my mom married?" Rory asked.

Luke flushed a dark red, Lorelai's face turned a pinched white. Jess just looked amused. "No we're not married," Lorelai said gently.

"You should be," Rory said.

"Oh," Lorelai, was at a loss for words.

"Where is the mysterious Rory Gilmore?" a voice asked. The doctor walked into the room.

"Why does she have amnesia?" Lorelai asked.

"My guess, would be the cause of the amnesia, is what happened to her, this past night. Her mind has had a shock, so it's protecting her from having to remember, my prognosis is that she'll remember when she's ready. Other than that, there's no reason why she can't go home tomorrow. We'll keep her here for the day to monitor her condition," the doctor said.

"Okay," Lorelai said.

"I'll be back later on to check on her," the doctor took his leave.

A knock on the door, the door opened. A young policeman stood there, "Can I talk to Ms. Lorelai Gilmore?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?" she asked.

"Dean escaped," the policeman whispered in her ear.

"Oh my god, when?"

"In the last hour, the hospital is being searched from top to bottom, my guess is that he's long gone," the policeman said and took his leave.

"What's wrong?" Luke and Jess asked.

"Dean's gone, he escaped," Lorelai said.

"Who's Dean?" Rory asked.

"He's someone who we don't need to talk about," Lorelai said.

"I think I saw him," Rory said immediately afterwards. "He was tall, with shaggy dark hair, menacing eyes, and he scared me, he was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt."

"Did he hurt you?" Lorelai asked.

"No, he just said," Rory closed her mouth. "I'm tired, I'd like to sleep now," she said.

"Of course, we'll leave you alone," Lorelai made to leave.

"Wait, I want Jess to stay," Rory said.

Jess looked at Lorelai, she looked hurt. "If you don't mind, Ms. Gilmore," Jess asked.

"No not at all," Lorelai said weakly, she left the room, with Luke hot on her heels.
