Loreali, Lane, and Luke had left the room to give Rory some time alone with Jess. Tears ran down her face. She held his hand

and said:
"Oh Jess. I broke up with Dean...for you. I want to
be with you. Its what I want. Your all I've ever
wanted. I know that sounds corny, but its true. I've
even imagined marrying you. I had everything planned.
The first time I saw you I felt something at first
I thought it was just a stomach ache or
something but now I know I was feeling for
you. I remember ever talk we had together.
I hold them in my heart, like you. You'll
always have my heart Jess, I love you,
I really do."

Rory leaned over and kissed him on his forehead. Her fingers gently went through his hair. "I need you Jess, please don't die."

"What the hell do you mean by that," Luke said angrily to the doctor. "Woh Luke calm down," Loreali said. "Its not his fault."

"Yeah, I know...I'm sorry." "Its quite alright, I know you would be angry. We have excellent rehibltation programs and if Jess
does wake up...they might help him," the doctor said. "And if they dont?" "Well Jess would have to be in a wheelchair for the rest

of his life." "Damnit." Luke said. Loreali put her arm around Luke comforting him. "Its gonna be ok. Everything will be alright. It
has to be."

"Loreali! Oh there you are. Can't find anything in this damn hospital." Loreali looked up and her mouth dropped open. It was
Emily and Richard. Emily went up to Luke and hugged him. "Oh hows your nephew doing." "Mom what are you and dad doing
here?" "We got your message." "I didnt tell you to come down here?" "Oh well what you except..Hey mom Im at the hospital and
engaged to Luke and his nephew Jess is in the hospital and might die, so Rory and I won't be there for Friday night dinner.Bye!"

"Yeah, well I um...." "Where is Rory?" "Shes in Jess' room." "He is still in a coma?" Richard asked "Yeah," Luke answered
"Where is the doctor? I must demand Jess gets the best medical attention." "What?" Luke and Loreali said together. "Don't
worry. We'll pay for everything." "You don't have to do that," Luke said. "Your engaged to Loreali...you will be our family." "Oh

I just knew you two were right for each other. I knew from the start," Emily said. Rory came out her face all red from crying and

the tears kept coming. Loreali ran to her. "Rory is he..." Rory wailed and her mom held her as Rory cried.
