I'm a broke teenager.
A/N: Hey, I just realized that there are some really stupid errors in the previous chapter but I am too lazy to change them (like missing the bus then using the car), so just deal with my lack of proofreading, and it's not like it completely changes what happens. Thanks to those of who have taken the short amount of their time that is required to review, it is greatly appreciated. I would like to see more reviews, but I know what it's like to want to see chapters added on a daily basis, so I won't wait. Well, I think that's all for now. Please Review!
Puppy Love??
Chapter 5: One Small Question...Why?
A/N: Sorry, but I thought that I should warn that this chapter is pretty much anti-dean, sorry dean fans, and try to believe what I write, if it doesn't make sense, the AU thing explains it...
Due to Rory's excuse from gym and Jess's lack of gym clothes, the two were able to leave Chilton early that day. It had been a long day for the both of them, but mainly Rory who had gotten sick twice during the day. Now, the two were on their way home to Stars Hollow and talking in the car while "Kissing You" by Des'ree (spelling?) was playing on the radio.
Pride can stand
A thousand Trials
The Strong will never fall
But watching Stars without You
My Soul cried
Grieving heart is full of Pain
Love, Love, The Aching
Rory: (Turns to Jess) Do you ever wonder about what would have happened if you hadn't moved to Stars Hollow?
Jess: No.
Rory: (curious) You never did? You never thought about what you could have been doing if you were still in New York?
Jess: (emotions clear in his voice) I'm too scared to think about what my life could have been life if I hadn't moved to Stars Hollow.
Rory: Afraid? How?
Jess: (Briefly turns to Rory) Mainly because I would have never met you if I was still in New York. I also don't want to think about how much of a screw-up I could have and would have been. It's not like I lived in the greatest part of town so my life could have been a royal mess. It would have been a whole other world if I grew up there, but I am so glad to be where I am that I don't want to think about what could have been.
Rory: (sees how sincere he is) I'm glad you're here.
Touch Me Deep
Pure and True
Gift to Me Forever
Rory: (clearly listening to the lyrics and is moved by them and what Jess has said and implied. You can see that she is having trouble controlling her emotions) I'm afraid of thinking about what could have been too. I'm glad my mom did what she did and came here. I'm glad that you came into my life. It scares me to think about having to live without you in my life. You have always been there for me and it scares me to think that might have to live without you by my side.
Jess: (voice sincere) Rory, I will never leave you. I will always be with you, whether it is physically or not does not matter. If it ever comes to the point that I have to lose you to something beyond my control, I am scared to say what might happen...You mean so much to me Rory and I am dependent upon you for so many things in my life that your absence would literally drive me insane and cause me to do irrational things...
Rory: I love you so much Jess. Just promise me that I will never have to be alone.
Jess: You know that I will not let that happen, ever.
The two continue the ride in silence and eventually reach Luke's. They park the car and head into the diner. Luke is surprised to see that the two arrived home early.
Luke: (concerned) Is everything okay? What's going on?
Jess: Everything is fine. We were excused from gym class so we left early.
Luke: All right. As long as everyone and everything is okay.
Rory: Thanks Luke. (Faces Jess) We should start on our homework.
Jess: (moans) Fine, let's go.
Luke: (sarcastically) Try not to have too much fun.
Jess: (replies with his own sarcastic remark) But I thought of a really fun way to learn about biology...
Luke: Jess!
Jess: Hey, you asked for it...
Rory and Jess go upstairs to the apartment and work on their homework. At about 5:30 they were just about finished and getting hungry so they made their way back downstairs.
Jess: Hey Luke.
Luke: Jess.
Jess: (fake yawn) Boy, that was exhausting...
Luke: (sarcastically) Very funny.
Jess: I try.
Luke: (Faces Rory) Want anything to eat?
Rory: Do you have to ask?
Luke: Point. What about you Jess?
Jess: Same as her I guess.
Jess and Rory go sit at a table. Dean passes the window and shoots Jess and death stare. Jess is amused by it and Dean just continues to make his way down the street. When he is past the diner, you see an evil grin appear on Dean's face.
Dean: (mutters to himself) I'll get them.
The rest of the evening is uneventful, unless you count the game of bagel hockey that was played after Luke closed the diner. Lorelai and Rory finally managed to convince him to let them play and the teams were obviously Rory and Jess against Lorelai and Luke. When Rory and Jess creamed the L's, Lorelai complained that they had an extra person on their team. Everyone laughed at her insanity when they suggested that the baby was somehow helping Rory and Jess. After a long day of school and bagel hockey, Rory quickly fell asleep when she got home. Then, at about 2:00 in the morning, she woke to something that she never would have imagined...Dean was in her room and had gagged her and tied her hands together.
Rory: (thinking to herself) OH MY GOD!! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO TO ME? WHAT ABOUT THE BABY? WHAT ABOUT JESS? WHY?!?!?! (she started to quietly cry to herself.)
Dean: (spoke quietly but rage was apparent in his voice) I'm not going to lose you to Jess, or any other guy. You are mine!
Rory: (mentally says) Why did I ever have to go out with him? Now he is caught up in his own fantasy and thinks that he loves me. I wish Jess would just appear at the window right now, just like he has done before...
Dean the throws the sheets off of Rory and exits the house through the back door, that has one window broken since the door was locked and Dean had no other way to get in. Once they were outside, Dean put Rory in the passenger seat of his car and tied her legs together, so now she had no free limbs. He quickly started the car and sped off, soon leaving behind Stars Hollow and heading off to a destination that was only known by Dean...
That morning, Lorelai went downstairs at 7:00 to get Rory out of bed. Before she reached Rory's bedroom, she noticed that the back door was wide open with one of the windows broken. Immediately, she went to see if Rory was all right and her worst nightmare quickly became a reality, Rory was missing. Now, it was even worse than her previous nightmares with similar situations due to the fact that Rory was pregnant.
Lorelai immediately broke down crying, but she also began her search for the phone. She knew that she had to call Jess and Luke and the police. As soon as she finally located the cordless phone, Lorelai carefully punched in the number to Luke's.
Luke: Hello.
Lorelai: (sobbing)
Luke: (concerned) Hello? Who is this?
Lorelai: (manages to take a long enough pause to talk) Luke...
Luke: Lorelai! What is it? What's wrong?
When Jess hears those words, he is immediately by Luke's side wanting to know what provoked that response.
Lorelai: (crying continues) It's Rory...
Luke: (moves the phone away from his face and shouts) EVERYONE OUT OF THE DINER! GET OUT NOW! NO COMPLAINING! (resumes talking to Lorelai) What is it? What's wrong with Rory?
Jess winces when he hears the last sentence and runs out of the diner. He runs as fast as he can to the Gilmore's home and is at the front door and uses the spare key to open it. As he enters he hears Lorelai sobbing and saying 'She's missing' to Luke.
Jess: (sees Lorelai hunched over in the kitchen) Lorelai...
Lorelai: (cries even harder when she sees Jess) She-she's gone...I went to...wake her up, but...she's gone...
At this point, Jess is unable to maintain control over his emotions and sinks to the floor next to Lorelai and his own tears begin to fall. Luke soon runs in since Jess left the door open and sees the two huddled on the kitchen floor crying.
Luke: (trying to remain as calm as possible) Lor, I'll call the police...
Lorelai: (she just nods and hands him the phone)
Within a matter of minutes, there are police officers all around the Gilmore's and Babette is finally using her gossiping abilities for good for once and spreads the news about Rory's disappearance.
Lorelai: (still crying and is sitting on the couch with Jess and Luke) I have to call my parents..
Luke: Do you want me to?
Lorelai: No, this is something I have to do.
Lorelai retrieves her cellphone so the house line remains free and slowly dials her parents phone number. Emily soon answers the phone.
Emily: Hello.
Lorelai: (trying to remain calm) Mom...
Emily: (immediately concerned) Lorelai? What is it? What happened?
Lorelai: (crying softly) It's Rory...she's missing...she. she was kidnapped this morning. (Lorelai immediately starts to cry uncontrollably and Luke takes the phone)
Emily: (now she is crying) Lorelai...do. do you know anything?
Luke: Mrs. Gilmore, it's Luke Danes, and no, all we know is that Rory was kidnapped.
Emily: (crying uncontrollably) Oh my god...this can't be happening.
Richard hears Emily and walks into the room to find out what is going on. He takes the phone when his wife hands it to her.
Richard: Hello? Who is this?
Luke: Mr. Gilmore, it's Luke Danes. Rory's been kidnapped.
Richard: We'll be over as soon as possible. (He then hangs up the phone and goes to his wife.)
Emily: (through her sobs) I yelled at her! Last time she was here I yelled at her! Why did this have to happen? Why Rory? WHY?
Richard comforts his wife and they hurry into the car. They arrive at the Gilmore's in record time, due to Richard's speeding and disregard for traffic laws. They enter the house to see Jess talking to a police officer and Luke comforting Lorelai.
Emily: (softly) Lorelai...
Lorelai gets up and hugs her mom tightly, glad that she is able to hug her mother.
The group then sits down and is joined by Jess and a detective.
Detective: I am sorry for what you are experiencing, and our top priority is to make sure that Rory and the child are not harmed. Now, can you think of anyone that would want to hurt Rory or any of you by hurting Rory?
No one was able to think of any names. Then Jess spoke up.
Jess: Yeah, I can think of someone...Dean Forester.
Detective: (yells to another officer) Check on a guy named Dean Forester! (turns to Jess) Now, why do you believe he would hurt Rory?
Jess: He's mad that Rory and I got back together since he and Rory dated briefly when we broke up a little while ago and he hasn't been able to get over her. Recently, after the news of the baby circulated around town he has been even angrier. We've recently had too brief confrontations, one of which was semi-violent.
Detective: Were there any witnesses to these confrontations? Violent, how?
Jess: Well, the first one was in the diner. He called Rory a slut, then I punched him, and with the help of Luke we threw him out. (chuckles slightly) That was fun. Then, the second time was just me, Dean, and Rory, but Rory was asleep. I was carrying her back from the bridge when Dean stopped us and began to argue with me. I put Rory on one of the benches and then told him that he had to move on and accept that Rory and I were together. And that's when he punched me. I have the bruise to prove if you want. (A/N: Let's just say that he was punched in the stomach.)
Lorelai: (whispers) I can't believe this is happening...
Luke: I know. No one wants to believe this is happening.
Lorelai: This isn't right. I shouldn't be talking to the police about where my daughter could be. I should be talking to Rory about the baby and the wedding and anything fun, not this! How could he do that?
Emily: (she was pulled out of her daze when Lorelai said the word wedding. She quietly says one simple word and causes people to briefly forget about the situation.) Wedding?
Jess: (says softly) I proposed...
There is a temporary silence that is interrupted by the shouting of a police officer.
Officer: The Forester kid is missing too!
Jess: Damnit! Why did he have to go after Rory? Why her? She doesn't deserve to go through that!
A/N: Well, that's all for now. I think that I'll hold the next chapter hostage for a little and upload it when I get a couple of reviews. I know that the whole evil Dean thing has been done before, but o well, deal with it! Hehe. Review, please! And if there are any silly errors like typos or grammar mistakes, sorry, but they won't be changed. Me too lazy to change something unless it's really important.
A/N: Hey, I just realized that there are some really stupid errors in the previous chapter but I am too lazy to change them (like missing the bus then using the car), so just deal with my lack of proofreading, and it's not like it completely changes what happens.
