The Defense attorney was an old man, but still fierce in the courtroom. Dean's family had hired him, although they were not very rich, they had borrowed and gotten loans and the man had been hired. His name was Peter Steier. He had a clear speaking voice that seemed to entrance juries.

"I call Lorelei Gilmore the Second to the stand."

Rory walked to the witness stand and was swore in.

"Miss Gilmore, you were present when your rapist died, weren't you?

"Yes"

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Brent came first, and Dean was not in view. Brent started to talk about what he had done, and then Dean came through the bushes with a gun. Brent said, "How many jealous boyfriends do you have that want to kill me because i bed you before they did." and then Dean started firing the gun again and again. Jess asked if we could leave and Dean let us."

"Do you know Dean?"


"Very well"

"Is he the type of person who would do this in all sanity?"

"No, he is not."

"Did Dean seem, insane?"

The Prosecutor called out, "Objection, calls for speculation."

"Sustained."

The questions kept coming, and endless circle in Rory's head. She saw Dean staring at her. He looked shaky and gaunt, no longer proud or happy. His life was ruined, Rory thought. She felt almost guilty. They met eyes.

"She looks beautiful," thought Dean, suddenly remembering why he had done what he had. He realized my what she was saying that she had been scared of him when he had killed Brent. Didn't she know that he would NEVER hurt her?" Their eyes met, and Dean remembered so many good times, they all came flooding back. He wondered if she was still with.. him. Dean would always blame Jess for what happened to Rory, even if Rory didn't.

(ONE WEEK LATER)

The foreman of the Jury delivered the news. The words "Not Guilty" echoed in everybody's ears. Brent's parents were crying, and they approached Dean. "You killed him! You killed him!"

Dean glared, "Must be proud to know you rose a rapist." Dean left the courtroom with his Lawyer. Dean didn't feel like talking to the cameras. He felt like lying in his own bed. For the first time, in much to long.

THE END!
