It was days later before Rory out of the woods and able to see guests.
People walked in and out of her room regularly. She layed in bed and tried
to remember. But nothing came. Only the sensation of wind. God, she loved
the wind. When would she feel it again? She knew it was bad, and it would
be a long time before she felt the wind. No one had told her how long
exactly. Almost like they were sfraid she would break apart at the mention
of anything to do with the whole mess. Why wouldn't they tell her? Damnit,
she was going crazy.
"Rory? " Lane stood in the door way, every possible emotion rageing through her. Fury of what had happened, Joy that she was ok, and Saddness that it had happened.
"Lane" Rory whispered. "Lane, do you know what happened? no one will tell me. How long will I be in here?...please Lane" Some one had to tell her. They just had to.
Of coarse Lane knew what was going on, it was her best bud, she knew everything about her best bud, so why didnt she see what was going on that night? She wanted to tell Rory everything, all of what happened, what choices were made, but she knew it was best this way, if she didnt remember, because if she did, she might hate her, and loose their friendship. "No Rory, I dont know what happened, no one does, as far as I know, but don't worry Ror, everythings going to be fine. You really came through Champ. Don't know what I would have done without you." Tears were threatening to fall, but Lane pushed them back. Tears were NOT the answer. Her friend needed her strength, her love, her support.
"Lane, I was so scared when I woke up, I didnt know what was going on. Logically I knew I was in a hospital, but I didnt know why, or how I got there..I still don't. I dont know if I can live with knowing that. Lane, I love you. Thanks for being here." The tears came, they were to be expected. And when Lane saw them, she let hers fall freely. Then, the nurse came in, and pushed her away. Rory was alone again, and the only thing to do was try to remember. But still, there was nothing, and she couldn't do anything about it. Trying to remember, she fell into a dreamless sleep.
"Rory honey wake up." Christopher sat at his precious girls bed side. WHat would he have done without her? Sure, he had another girl, but it wasnt the same. Rory was his first, his first baby, and she would always be special. He leaned over her and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"Dad?" Rory whispered.
"Hey sweetheart, I'm not going to ask how you are, cause I know what the answer will be." He was slient for a moment. "I'm there for you baby, you dan't have to worry about anything." The pain was so fresh. and the love was burning a whole through his heart.
"I know. Dad......I love you." She wanted to cry all over again, but she could tell her dad couldn't take it, so she supressed them
Chris sat slient for a moment. How long had it been since he heard her say those words. How long had it been since he said them to her? "I love you to honey." He sat there for hours just stroking her hair.
Later at night when she was all alone, Rory lay and think of the day she just had. Lane, was really an uplifter. And dad awoke things in me I thought were dead. Theb there was Dean, and Jess, Luke, Miss Patty, Grandma and Grandpa, Kirk, Taylor, and of coarse, her mom. Everyone wanted to make sure she was fine, and until someone told her something different, she would believe it. The she saw it. a shadow, just a faint shadow just inside the door. Her heart jumped. who could be there? evryone she loved had already come. She wanted to call out for help, but she couldn't manage a sound. Her throat had closed.
"Don't be afraid Rory, it's only me. I heard what happened. I'm sorry. I should have realized what would have happened..." How could she have let her friend go off like that? It was all her faut, and couldn't face anyone.
"What are you talking about Paris?..." Did she know something about what happened? "If you know something...you have to tell me...please, no one will tell me...I can't remember."
she didn't remember...thank God. If she could do anything, she would spare her friend from the truth. "No, Rory, I don't I just meant that I should have know that something was going to happen..you know..through friend intuition" God...she hoped that would hold.
"Are you sure?" Rory didnt believe for one second what she was telling her.
"Yes...but I have to go now, before the nurse comes by. Goodbye Rory." She had a feeling it would be the last thing she ever said to her.
"Goodbye Paris." When Paris was gone, Rory thought over their conversation. She knew something....But I just can't think of what. That was her thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Days later, Rory woke to a room full of people. Everyone was there, From Lane to her Grandma. "Hey"
"Hey yourself sweetheart." Lorelei stated. She knew she had to do it. She didn't want to...but it was for her baby. " Rory honey, we have an announcement." She paused for a moment to wait for eveyone to stop talking. "Rory honey. you're very hurt. In the begining, they wern't sure if you'd survive. And there are no guarntees now. You broke your ribs, punctured a lung, fractured you back in several places, broke your leg, and shattered your pelvis bone." she hurried on before her daughter could speak, but she could see the tears starting to fall. "Now, don't worry honey, in two weeks, you'll be out of here.....and on your way to Carolina to get rehabilitated. You'll still be going to school...just not at Chilton" when she didnt say anyting, Lorelei spoke quietly again." Don't worry honey, everything will be fine. go to sleep now." Lorelei kissed Rory on the head, and offered up a prayer.
"Mom.....I'm scared..." Out of her mind, she thought
"I know baby, now go back to sleep...we'll talk again." Because it was hard to stay awake, Rory drifted to sleep. Only to wake to another tireing day.
