Summary: Rory and Lorelai get in an accident. Luke and Jess come to see them in the
hospital. R/J L/L and a little bit of Tristan.
Chapter One; The Hospital
Jess grabbed a rag and started to wipe off the counter. It had been a busy night but
now it was winding down. He sat at one of the stools and buried his head in his arms,
once again replaying the moment that had occurred only a few days before. It had been
the first time he ever imagined that he had a chance with Rory, and the most perfect
moment of his life.
The phone rang, startling Jess out of his daydream. He glanced at Luke, who was busy
serving. Jess picked up the phone and sighed.
"Luke's."
"Is this Jess?"
"Yeah. Who's this?"
"This is Lorelai."
Jess frowned.
"I'll get Luke, just a second."
"Actually, if you could, would you please just tell him as soon as we hang up?"
"Sure."
"There's been an accident. I was driving and I lost control. She's at Hartford Central
Hospital. I'm sorry but I gotta go. Rory's in room 108. Tell Luke to get down here. You
can come too. Bye."
Jess heard a click and dropped the phone to the floor.
"Luke!"
He yelled the word across the diner, causing everybody to look at him. Luke came
running up, looking worried.
"What's wrong?"
It took Jess a second to get the words out.
"That was Lorelai, she and Rory got in an accident. Rory's hurt."
That was all it took for Luke to start yelling.
"Everybody out! Get out now!"
The startled patrons grabbed their food and left, seeing that Luke was not in the mood to
argue.
"I'll drive."
Luke said as they rushed towards his old pickup truck. He didn't even have to question
why Jess was coming.

15 minutes later
Hartford General Hospital.
Jess and Luke ran to the elevator, taking it up to the second floor, where Rory was. As
soon as they got off Luke saw Lorelai and ran to her, hugging her close. Lorelai started to
cry again.
Jess ran to the room marked 108 and flew through the door. He barely noticed Dean
sitting by her bed side. He couldn't tear his eyes away from Rory, lying on the sterile
white bed. Her eyes were closed and she looked peaceful, like an angel.
Jess could feel the tears gather behind his eyes. Dean got up and started advancing toward
him, glaring menacingly.
"What are you doing here?"
Jess ignored the question, still looking at Rory. He tore his eyes away from her long
enough to look at Dean and ask one simple question.
"Is she going to be okay?"
With those six words came a fear that Jess had never felt before. He heard it in his voice,
and so did Dean.
Dean stopped in his tracks as Jess looked quickly back at Rory. His worse fears were
confirmed. Jess had fallen for Rory. Hard. That brought up the possibility that she might
love him too. This was not something Dean wanted to deal with right now.
"She has a concussion. Right now she's in a coma. The sooner she comes out of it, the
less likely she is to have permanent damage."
Jess just stared at her as his tears fell to the floor. He was so scared. He glanced at Dean,
who was looking at him with a mixture of pity and respect. Just then, Dean said the last
thing that Jess ever wanted to hear.
"She might die."
Jess just stared at her seemingly lifeless body as he took a chair opposite of where Dean
had been sitting.
MEANWHILE, IN THE HALLWAY.
Lorelai started crying as soon as she felt Luke's arms around her. She sat on the floor and
cried into his embrace. After a few minutes she looked up at Luke and attempted to smile.
"Hey."
He muttered quietly. Not letting go of her yet.
"Hey."
She sounded weak, for once, much older than 32. Luke tightened his hold on her and she
rested her forehead on his chest. Her tears had stopped by now and she sniffled.
"What happened?"
"I was driving us home from my parents' house and I lost control. She might die, Luke.
Without her I have nothing!"
He didn't reply.
"Did Jess come?"
Lorelai asked as she looked around.
"Yeah. He already went in."
"Oh crap."
Lorelai closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall.
"What's wrong?"
"Dean is in there."
Luke just nodded. He helped her stand up and they walked to the door, holding hands.
When they peered through, they saw Dean and Jess sitting on either side of Rory in
silence.
"He loves her."
Luke whispered into Lorelai's ear.
"Dean?"
She turned to look at Luke, who shook his head.
"Jess."
Her eyes glazed over.
"I know."
They stood there in silence, just outside the door, watching the boys watch Rory.
