Because I love you all (NOT LIKE THAT) I've decided to write this chapter today before I leave on vacation Thursday (I've got a ton of stuff to do Wednesday, but there's a tiny chance you might get an update tomorrow too).

Bright lights surrounded Rory and Jess on the street of Stars Hollow. Paramedics took Jess away from Rory as she sat on the pavement crying.
A few policemen sat down next to Rory and asked her what had happened.
Through sobs she managed to explain what had happened. They took down notes, nodded, and told her when they caught Matthew she would be called into court to say what had happened.
Rory nodded and as the policemen left her she curled herself up into a ball on the ground.
Lorelai rushed over to her. "Rory!" she said. She knelt down next to her daughter. "Rory what happened?"
Rory started to cry harder. "Matthew came to kill me and Jess jumped in front of the bullet."
"Oh honey," Lorelai said. She stroked Rory's hair as she lay on the pavement.
"Mom," Rory said. "I know you hate Jess, but Jess just risked his life for me. I wish he hadn't."
"Honey," Lorelai said. "I don't hate Jess. Because if Jess hadn't jumped in front of that bullet you'd be the one that was just rushed off in that ambulance."
"I know Mom," Rory cried. "But what if he doesn't make it?"
"Don't worry honey, he will." Lorelai said. But she wasn't sure herself.

An hour later Rory, Lorelai, Luke, and Jennifer sat in the waiting room at the hospital. Jess had been in surgery for an hour and they said it would take at least another hour.
Rory was leaning on her mom crying while Jennifer slept on Luke's lap.
Luke's eyes stared straight forward. Lorelai looked at him and noticed there were tears filling his eyes.
Jess was his nephew and no matter how much he could hate him he always loved him.
***
An hour later a nurse came and said they could go see Jess one at a time. Luke being his uncle was to go first followed by Rory.
As soon as Luke emerged Rory got up and walked into Jess's room. She didn't want to hear how he was doing from Luke; she wanted to see for herself.
Jess lay on a hospital bed. His shoulder bandaged up where the bullet had hit him.
"Hey Rory," Jess said smiling at her.
"Hey Jess," Rory said, she forced a smile but she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes.
"Rory," Jess said quietly, "don't cry."
"I can't help it Jess," Rory said. "It's my fault you're here. Matthew was after me and you were the one who got shot and ended up in the hospital. It's all my fault."
"It's not your fault Rory," Jess said. "I did it because I love you."

A/N- I hope you enjoyed this chapter! R&R please!
And I know it's short, but you have to admit, it's a great chapter! I mean, Jess told Rory he loved her. And more so, he lived.
