Puppy Love?
Chapter Six: River of Tears
After Dean sped off, he began the long journey to a destination that was only known by him, a secluded cabin (A/N: tacky, but all I could think of) that once belonged to his grandfather. Rory woke up in an unfamiliar room and saw that she had her hands and legs tied to the bed. Immediately, panic and fear set in remembering what happened earlier and thinking about the situation.
Rory: (thinking to herself) What is he going to do to me? How did it get this far? Will anyone think to look for me here? Where am I? I wish that I was back in Stars Hollow with mom, Jess, Luke, Lane, Sookie, hell even Taylor...I wish that this was just a bad dream and I would wake up to my room, with my mom nearby, with Jess just blocks away...(she begins to cry thinking about Jess and what he must be going through in addition to everyone else)
Back to Stars Hollow where the Gilmore house is still filled with police officers. Lorelai, Luke, Jess, Emily, and Richard have been joined by Lane, Sookie, and Jackson. The group are quietly talking to one another and then the phone rings. Everyone's attention is immediately captured by the small object that could be so important at that moment...
Lorelai: (answers the phone) Hello?
Paris: Lorelai? It's Paris. I wanted to know if everything was okay since Rory and Jess didn't show up this morning.
Lorelai: Oh, Paris, thank you for calling and no.
Paris: (concerned) Is everything okay? What's wrong?
You see Tristan start to pay attention when he hears the last two sentences that Paris says.
Lorelai gives Jess the phone because she is about to start crying again.
Jess: Paris, you should probably know what is going on...This morning, Lorelai went downstairs and saw the back door open with one of the windows broken and Rory was missing...
Paris: OH MY GOD! (Tristan is curious and concerned since he is does now know what is going on.) How? Who? Why? (she continues to mumble and is interrupted by Jess)
Jess: (voice faltering) At this point, all we know is that she's gone and so is Dean, and he's the prime suspect right now.
Tristan takes the phone from Paris when she begins to break down and cry, but she manages to tell him the basics before he starts talking to Jess.
Tristan: Jess, we'll be right over.
Jess: Thanks...
Tristan: Don't worry, Rory's strong, she won't give up.
Jess: Thanks Tristan.
The two boys hang up and Jess returns to the group while Tristan and Paris ignore teachers and students and run to Tristan's car and speed off toward Stars Hollow.
Jess: (frustrated and upset) God damnit! I feel so useless just sitting here, waiting to hear something. I gotta get out of here, call my cell when you hear anything.
Luke: We will.
Jess: When Paris and Tristan come, tell them I'm at the bridge.
Luke: All right.
Jess leaves the house and heads towards the bridge. While he is walking through town, people are staring and whispering, but no one is brave enough to talk to him, and he is too preoccupied with his thoughts to even notice what is happening around him. Soon he finds himself at the bridge, their spot. One location holds so many of his memories of Rory, and now he has to add another to list, where he went to cry and think when she was kidnapped by Dean.
About twenty minutes after Jess left, Tristan and Paris come running through the front door of the Gilmore's house.
Paris: (cautiously asks) Any news?
Lorelai looks up at her and simply nods her head.
Luke: (knowing their next question) Jess is at the bridge.
The couple leaves and begin to run toward the bridge. When they are close enough, they see Jess sitting in the middle of the bridge with his knees pulled up to his chest and his face buried in between the two and can tell that he is crying. They carefully approach their friend.
Tristan: Jess..
He looks up and makes no movement to wipe away his tears. Upon seeing Jess's display of emotions, Paris loses control again and sits down next to him and cries. Tristan then joins the two and they continue to sit there, two of them crying uncontrollably, and one of them silently letting a few stray tears fall down his cheeks.
*Ring *Ring *Ring
A detective's cell phone began to ring.
Detective: Matthews.
You see him nodding his head.
Detective: You got a possible location?
Everyone's head shoots up at that question.
Detective: All right. Send out as many people as you can. Go!
He hangs up the phone and turns toward the large group that is waiting for what he is about to say.
Detective: They have a possible location for where Forester might have taken her. It's an old family cabin.
Lorelai: Oh my god...
The women (Lorelai, Emily, Lane she hung around the house, and Sookie) begin to cry when they hear the information. Luke quickly dials Jess's cell number.
Back at the bridge, the three friends are still sitting and crying in silence when Jess's cell phone begins to ring. He nervously answers the phone.
Jess: Yeah...
Luke: They have a possible location.
Jess: Thank god.
Luke: They said it's some old cabin that his family has.
Jess: Did they say where it is? (anxious with the information that he just received)
Luke: They mentioned that it was near Sugarloaf. (A/N: It's a town in Pennsylvania where my aunt and uncle used to live. It was all that I could come up with.)
Jess hangs up the phone and runs to the diner and his car. Tristan and Paris follow him and jump in the car before he leaves.
Jess: You guys don't have to do this.
Tristan: We're going. Now drive.
Jess immediately speeds off and leaves Stars Hollow behind, beginning the drive to Sugarloaf, and hopefully Rory...
~*~ Back to Rory and Dean ~*~
After Rory sat in bed for what seemed like hours, she heard Dean walking around the cabin. Then, he entered the room where he had left her when they got there.
Dean: Finally, it's just you and me. We don't have to worry about anyone else.
Dean moves closer to Rory and has a glazed look on his face and hidden behind it is a combination of passion, jealousy, and anger that could only have negative consequences. When Rory sees this, she begins to whimper and thinks that the situation will do nothing but get worse.
Dean: Shh...I know that you have been waiting for this for a long time, I know that I have.
Dean is now on the bed next to Rory and taking advantage of the position that he has placed Rory in. Rory only cries harder when she thinks about what Dean is doing and what he will do and about how she would love to be at Chilton at that moment.
Dean: (says smoothly, but his voice has a disturbing tone) Don't worry Rory...everything will be fine. Shhh....
Soon, Dean begins what only one other person, Jess, has done with Rory. With Dean taking full adavantage of the situation, Rory can do nothing but cry and hope that everything would end soon.
But, all of Rory's wishing and praying was useless. With Rory tied to the bed, Dean was left to do whatever he wanted with her. When he was done, he untied Rory's hands.
Dean: See, when you behave yourself, you get rewarded. Put your clothes back on and I might just untie your feet.
Since she was so afraid of what might happen if she didn't follow Dean's orders, Rory slowly started to put her clothes back on. Dean then reappeared.
Dean: Good girl. Now about those feet...
Dean walked over to Rory and placed her hands together and tied them together again. Then, he released her feet from the restraints that they were in.
Dean: (chuckles) Do you really think that I would have let you have your hands and feet free?
He grabs Rory and takes her with him to the kitchen area. When she is outside the bedroom, Rory saw that escape was not an option that she had. Dean had haphazardly placed a table in front of the only door and there were pieces of wood nailed over the windows of the cabin. Dean then forcefully put Rory in a chair and tied her to it.
Dean: Ah, the wonders of rope.
Rory is shocked by the transformation that Dean went through to get to where he was at that moment. She began to wonder if maybe he was like that before, but no one really noticed. No, she thought, something like this would have definitely been noticed by someone.
Rory: (thinking to herself) How can he treat me like this? How can he treat me like a piece of property that he can do anything to?
Rory continued to think about what if's and why's while Dean went into a side room and retrieved a shotgun. When she saw this, Rory was immediately afraid that he was going to shoot her.
Dean: I will be back in half an hour. Don't bother trying to get away.
Before he left, he used some of the rope to tie a portion of the chair to a pipe overhead. Now, Rory was tied to a chair that had limited mobility because of the rope connecting it to the pipe. Once he was satisfied, Dean left the cabin, not bothering to block the front door. As that was happening, the car occupied by Jess, Tristan, and Paris was passing a sign that read, 'Welcome to Sugarloaf'...
Due to Jess's complete disregard for the speed limit or any traffic laws, the length of the drive to Sugarloaf was shortened dramatically.
Jess: (speaking to no one in particular) Where could they be?
Paris: I know this might sound like a crazy idea, but why don't we stop and ask someone where it could be. We could just say we were looking for a friend's cabin but forgot the address.
The two guys looked at one another and shrugged. They both figured that was better than driving blindly around the town. So, they stopped at a nearby gas station and Paris exited the car and went to talk to the attendant.
Paris: Hello. My friends and I were on our way to another friend's cabin, and we are having trouble remembering the address. Do you think that you could point us in the direction that it could be in?
Attendant: Sorry, miss, but there aren't any cabins around here, at least none that you would be looking for. There are a couple of abandoned places down by the woods over that way (points to the left).
Paris: Well, he did say that he hasn't used it recently, so that would be where we're headed.
Attendant: All right, then just make a left out of here, go straight for a little, make a right on Willow Road, and then you will see them ahead of you.
Paris: Thank you for your help.
She then goes back to the car and tells Jess what the attendant had just told her. Soon the three found themselves on a road surrounded by trees and rundown buildings.
Tristan: What do you want to do now? Stay together and search or split up?
Jess: Together. Psycho Dean, remember?
Tristan: All right.
Jess: Let's go. We'll try every building that they could be in.
With that, the three friends immediately began looking through the windows of various buildings, hoping that they will see something to indicate that Rory was there. After each house that they found with no sign of Rory, the three become more and more concerned that they might be on a wild goose chase, but were not willing to give up. Then, it was the moment that they were dreading, there were no more buildings to look at.
Jess: She has to be around here somewhere.
Paris: Did we miss anything?
Tristan: There has to be more.
Jess: Let's keep walking down the road, there has to be more.
Jess immediately took off down the road hoping that he would find another building and hoping that with it he would find Rory. Suddenly, Jess stopped when he heard Paris and Tristan screaming his name.
Paris: Jess! Come here!
Tristan: Jess! There's something over here!
Jess quickly turned around and ran to the spot where his friends were yelling for him. That was when he saw a cabin hidden away among the trees.
Jess: (quieyly says) That has to be it...
The three ran straight to the building, with Jess leading them. When they got to the cabin, they immediately tried to look into the windows to see if Rory was there.
Jess: Shit! The windows are boarded up!
Tristan: Hey! Over here! There's an opening at the top.
Jess immediately goes to where Tristan is standing at tries to see above the piece of wood, but he is not tall enough to see through the opening, none of them were.
Jess: Damnit! I gotta see if she's in there!
Tristan: Help me lift Paris, she'll look.
Jess: Sure.
In no time, Jess and Tristan were boosting Paris up against the cabin and she caught a glimpse of what was inside the cabin...she saw Rory tied to a chair that was tied to a pipe above her head.
Paris: Jess, she's there...
Jess and Tristan quickly put Paris back on the ground and tried to get into the house. Jess instinctively went to the nearby door and he began shouting.
Jess: Rory! Rory! Hold On! I'm Coming! Rory!
Rory's head shot up when she heard Jess's voice. At first she thought that she was dreaming and that it was really Dean who was saying her name, but she soon realized that Jess was really on the other side of the door.
Jess: (frantically) Tristan, you've gotta help me. It's locked.
Soon the two guys were pushing against the door, hoping that it would eventually give and allow them access to the house. After numerous attempts, they heard the faint sound of wood cracking, the door was finally starting to give. Then, after a few more attempts, the door finally gave and they were given access to the house. Jess immediately ran to Rory and embraced her.
Jess: Rory! I love you so much! We have to get you out of this...
The first thing Jess did was remove the tape from Rory's mouth. He then pulled out his pocketknife (A/N: convenient hehe) and began on the rope that was wrapped around Rory several times.
Jess: Damnit! Tristan, look for another knife, I'm making no progress with this thing.
Tristan began searching through the drawers as Paris stood nearby, waiting and not knowing what else to do.
Tristan: Here. (He hands Jess a large knife that looks like something Sookie would use in the kitchen.)
Jess immediately went back to the task of cutting Rory free and found the larger knife much more effective. Soon, the ropes were loose enough that Rory could shake herself out of the ropes. The first thing she did was embrace Jess, glad that she was able to do that again.
Jess: We gotta go. I don't want to be here when Bagboy shows up.
The four immediately began to run out of the house and toward the car. Within a matter of minutes they are at the car and Jess is tossing Tristan the keys. The four climb into the car and Tristan begins to drive off, leaving the cabin and Sugarloaf behind. While this is happening, Rory and Jess are in the back seat, he is holding her tightly as she cries.
Rory: (between her sobs) I have to call mom! I need to talk to her!
Jess hands her his cell. Rory quickly dials her telephone number.
Lorelai: (nervous) Hello?
Rory: MOM!
Lorelai: RORY?!?!!
When everyone hears Lorelai scream at the telephone, they are immediately relieved and breathe a collected sigh of relief.
Lorelai: Where are you? Are you okay? Oh my god! I have missed you so much!
Rory: I'm with Jess. He found me. Tristan and Paris are with us. And no.
Lorelai: Have I ever told you how much I love that boy?!? (she mouths 'she's with Jess' to everyone)
Rory: (gives a slight chuckle) No, not recently.
Lorelai: Where are you sweetie?
Rory: Ummm...we're in the car right now...
Then Lane sees Jess's car pull into the Gilmore driveway.
Lane: OH MY GOD!
Everyone turns to Lane, waiting to hear the explanation for her outburst.
Lane: THEY'RE HERE! Jess's car just pulled up!
With that Lorelai dropped the phone and ran outside to the car and immediately embraced her daughter. Tears are once again flowing, this time, there is hardly a dry eye in among the group of family members and friends.
Lorelai: I am never going to take my eyes off of you again! Who needs sleep when there's always coffee?
Rory: I'm so glad that it's over. I never want to leave Stars Hollow again.
Emily then approaches Lorelai and Rory and joins the hug.
Emily: Rory, I am so sorry for how I reacted. I love you and your mother so much. I don't know what I would do if I lost either of you.
Rory: I love you too Grandma. I forgive you. I understand how you could be upset.
The three generations of Gilmore girls continue to hug and slowly break apart. Then Rory runs to her grandfather who is standing nearby and embraces him. Once she breaks apart from the hug with her grandfather, Rory hugs everyone else that was there and then goes back to Jess. Hand in hand, they lead the group back to the house. They are then approached by a detective.
Detective: I know that you would rather spend time with your loved ones right now, but we need you to tell us what happened, and you can't forget any details.
Rory: (still holding Jess's hand) All right...
Then, with everyone sitting around her, Rory began to tell everyone about what Dean had done to her, including when he raped her. By the time she was finished, she was sobbing and Jess was still in shock from hearing what Rory had just said.
Detective: Rory, we need to have you examined by a doctor to confirm that you were raped by Mr. Forester. We will also need you clothing to collect possible evidence. Mr. Mariano, we need you to describe where the cabin was since it is a crime scene.
Jess, with assistance from Paris and Tristan, described the cabin and it's location to the officer while Rory went with Lorelai and a police officer to the local hospital.
(After the exam) Doctor: Well, Rory, there is sufficient evidence to show that you were indeed raped.
Rory is silent and Lorelai begins to speak.
Lorelai: Will...will the baby be okay?
Doctor: From what I observed, the baby will indeed be fine. I suggest that you have her rest because the less stress, the better.
Lorelai: Thank you doctor.
With that, Lorelai and Rory exited the hospital and returned home, which was less chaotic since the officers were now gone, except for the detective.
Rory: I have never been so tired in my life.
Lorelai: All right sweetie. Just remember, we're all here for you, don't be afraid to ask for something.
Rory: Thanks mom.
The two hug, and are grateful that they are able to hug each other again.
Rory: Jess...
He stands up and walks over to Rory.
Rory: I don't want to be alone. I'm scared...
Jess: (protectively wraps his arms around her) I'm here. I won't leave your side.
The two walk into Rory's room and they quickly fall asleep, both happy that they are with the other.
Lorelai: She's home. My baby's home...(she begins to sob when it finally hits her that Rory is back and went through a hellish ordeal over the last day)
Tristan: (talks to the detective) Have you heard anything about Dean yet?
A/N: I'm gonna end this one here. I'm afraid that if I keep going it'll turn into like 20 pages or it'll get really bad since I'm so tired. Well thank you to those who have reviewed. I really appreciate the comments and people asking for more chapters. I'll update a.s.a.p. Please Review!
A/N: I know I said that I was going to wait, but I lied. I figured that I would write and upload since I had time. Please, review, even though I will still update and stuff. Sorry for my typos and forgetting little words, I should probably proofread, but I'm too damn lazy to do that, even when it comes to school stuff.

Soon the two guys were pushing against the door, hoping that it would eventually give and allow them access to the house. After numerous attempts, they heard the faint sound of wood cracking, the door was finally starting to give. Then, after a few more attempts, the door finally gave and they were given access to the house. Jess immediately ran to Rory and embraced her.
Jess: Rory! I love you so much! We have to get you out of this...
The first thing Jess did was remove the tape from Rory's mouth. He then pulled out his pocketknife (A/N: convenient hehe) and began on the rope that was wrapped around Rory several times.
Jess: Damnit! Tristan, look for another knife, I'm making no progress with this thing.
Tristan began searching through the drawers as Paris stood nearby, waiting and not knowing what else to do.
Tristan: Here. (He hands Jess a large knife that looks like something Sookie would use in the kitchen.)
Jess immediately went back to the task of cutting Rory free and found the larger knife much more effective. Soon, the ropes were loose enough that Rory could shake herself out of the ropes. The first thing she did was embrace Jess, glad that she was able to do that again.
Jess: We gotta go. I don't want to be here when Bagboy shows up.
The four immediately began to run out of the house and toward the car. Within a matter of minutes they are at the car and Jess is tossing Tristan the keys. The four climb into the car and Tristan begins to drive off, leaving the cabin and Sugarloaf behind. While this is happening, Rory and Jess are in the back seat, he is holding her tightly as she cries.
Rory: (between her sobs) I have to call mom! I need to talk to her!
Jess hands her his cell. Rory quickly dials her telephone number.
Lorelai: (nervous) Hello?
Rory: MOM!
Lorelai: RORY?!?!!
When everyone hears Lorelai scream at the telephone, they are immediately relieved and breathe a collected sigh of relief.
Lorelai: Where are you? Are you okay? Oh my god! I have missed you so much!
Rory: I'm with Jess. He found me. Tristan and Paris are with us. And no.
Lorelai: Have I ever told you how much I love that boy?!? (she mouths 'she's with Jess' to everyone)
Rory: (gives a slight chuckle) No, not recently.
Lorelai: Where are you sweetie?
Rory: Ummm...we're in the car right now...
Then Lane sees Jess's car pull into the Gilmore driveway.
Lane: OH MY GOD!
Everyone turns to Lane, waiting to hear the explanation for her outburst.
Lane: THEY'RE HERE! Jess's car just pulled up!
With that Lorelai dropped the phone and ran outside to the car and immediately embraced her daughter. Tears are once again flowing, this time, there is hardly a dry eye in among the group of family members and friends.
Lorelai: I am never going to take my eyes off of you again! Who needs sleep when there's always coffee?
Rory: I'm so glad that it's over. I never want to leave Stars Hollow again.
Emily then approaches Lorelai and Rory and joins the hug.
Emily: Rory, I am so sorry for how I reacted. I love you and your mother so much. I don't know what I would do if I lost either of you.
Rory: I love you too Grandma. I forgive you. I understand how you could be upset.
The three generations of Gilmore girls continue to hug and slowly break apart. Then Rory runs to her grandfather who is standing nearby and embraces him. Once she breaks apart from the hug with her grandfather, Rory hugs everyone else that was there and then goes back to Jess. Hand in hand, they lead the group back to the house. They are then approached by a detective.
Detective: I know that you would rather spend time with your loved ones right now, but we need you to tell us what happened, and you can't forget any details.
Rory: (still holding Jess's hand) All right...
Then, with everyone sitting around her, Rory began to tell everyone about what Dean had done to her, including when he raped her. By the time she was finished, she was sobbing and Jess was still in shock from hearing what Rory had just said.
Detective: Rory, we need to have you examined by a doctor to confirm that you were raped by Mr. Forester. We will also need you clothing to collect possible evidence. Mr. Mariano, we need you to describe where the cabin was since it is a crime scene.
Jess, with assistance from Paris and Tristan, described the cabin and it's location to the officer while Rory went with Lorelai and a police officer to the local hospital.
(After the exam) Doctor: Well, Rory, there is sufficient evidence to show that you were indeed raped.
Rory is silent and Lorelai begins to speak.
Lorelai: Will...will the baby be okay?
Doctor: From what I observed, the baby will indeed be fine. I suggest that you have her rest because the less stress, the better.
Lorelai: Thank you doctor.
With that, Lorelai and Rory exited the hospital and returned home, which was less chaotic since the officers were now gone, except for the detective.
Rory: I have never been so tired in my life.
Lorelai: All right sweetie. Just remember, we're all here for you, don't be afraid to ask for something.
Rory: Thanks mom.
The two hug, and are grateful that they are able to hug each other again.
Rory: Jess...
He stands up and walks over to Rory.
Rory: I don't want to be alone. I'm scared...
Jess: (protectively wraps his arms around her) I'm here. I won't leave your side.
The two walk into Rory's room and they quickly fall asleep, both happy that they are with the other.
Lorelai: She's home. My baby's home...(she begins to sob when it finally hits her that Rory is back and went through a hellish ordeal over the last day)
Tristan: (talks to the detective) Have you heard anything about Dean yet?
A/N: I'm gonna end this one here. I'm afraid that if I keep going it'll turn into like 20 pages or it'll get really bad since I'm so tired. Well thank you to those who have reviewed. I really appreciate the comments and people asking for more chapters. I'll update a.s.a.p. Please Review!
