coffeechick87 - Well I'm glad I'm special so I get to be on you're author alert! Heehee. Thank you for not complaining about the length, I'm working on it but sometimes I just don't want it to go any farther at that time. Of course you hate Matthew, don't we all? *sigh*
Thena - NO! Don't stop reviewing every chapter! I love your reviews! Don't contain yourself, review away!

Rory sat stiffly as she awaited the jury's decision and the judge's penalty.
Jess had tried to hold her hand again but she'd pulled it away. She knew he was helpless right now because he couldn't help her. He had helped her before and now he couldn't.
There was nothing that could help except Matthew being locked away forever.
There was nothing no one could do.

The first juror stood up. "We find Matthew Banks, not guilty for the crimes he has been accused of."
The judge nodded and pounded his grovel on the podium, "court adjourned."
Jess looked at Rory.
Silent tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Jess put his arm that wasn't contained in the sling around her.
"No," she pushed them away. "Don't touch me."
"Rory," Jess said.
"No!" she half yelled. "Don't touch me."
Lorelai rushed through the door keeping her from Rory as she heard Rory say it again to Jess.
"Rory," Jess said. "Please."
"I said no," Rory said, the tears still streaming down her cheeks. "No."
"Rory," Lorelai said putting her arms around her. "I know Rory, I know it's not fair, but it's what we've got to live with."
"But Mom," Rory said, now sobbing. "He tried to kill me, he almost killed Jess. And he gets away with nothing. And now I'm left to a lifetime of misery knowing he's out there and he'll come after me again. He will, I just know he will."
"I know honey," Lorelai said comfortingly as she stroked Rory's hair.
Rory sobbed into her mother's arms. "He didn't get what he deserved."

A/N- I hope you enjoyed this chapter! R&R please!
I know, I know, it's short, right? Sorry, but that's where I had to leave it off 'cause it worked there.
