A/N: Ohh, thank you all so much for the reviews! *squeals!* they were
muchly appreciated and I'll try keep writing this. Some things before I
continue;
How do I make it so other people can review??
Alyssa is around 5
I hope to keep everyone in character, but the amount of episodes I've actually seen I can count on 2 hands, so yeah, tell me if stuff is wrong so I can improve.
Oh, and I am from Australia so please excuse me if I use different words and that, i.e. Cell phone = Mobile phone (although I did use cell) but you get the point. Perhaps you could tell me where I go wrong.
I think that is about all, enjoy this chapter! Oh and thanks again for the reviews ^_^
Luke had reluctantly let Lorelai in to the diner after he had closed early, but inside he was glad she had come. They sat in silence while the coffee was made occasionally conversing in some small talk but nothing out of the ordinary. Just as Lorelai was complaining about how long the coffee took her cell phone rang, making both her and Luke jump. Luke gave Lorelai a look of warning which she immediately ignored when she saw it was Rory. As Lorelai answered the call Luke turned to pour the coffee, turning back he was about to make one of his usual comments on 'how the stuff will kill you' when he saw the expression that had taken over her face. Lorelai didn't say anything for a second, she just sat there in a way that Luke had never seen and couldn't read.
"What?" Luke asked conscientiously.
"Now" Lorelai spoke quickly "Lets go, hurry up, something's wrong"
"What?" Luke asked again, almost annoyed but more scared "what happened?"
"Nothing. No. I don't know. We have to go NOW"
After that there was no talking, so many scenarios were running through Lorelai's head, each as crazy as the next. Luke was too scared to talk, and even if he wasn't what would he say? This was a side of Lorelai he had never experienced, and wished he never was. They had run all the way from the diner and didn't slow down as they closed in on the Gilmore house. Racing inside Lorelai almost ran into the door, but steadied herself making it into the hall.
"Rory?" She called out breathlessly "Where are you, are you ok?"
"In here mom" Rory called from the couch.
Her voice, Lorelai realized strangely calm almost too calm, the thought of drugs appeared in her mind but was pushed aside as quickly as it had came. Hastily Lorelai and Luke came into the lounge. Rory was sitting on the couch, her expression was vague although it seemed like she'd been crying or was on the verge of doing so. Lorelai sat next to Rory, carefully moving around Alyssa who was sitting on the floor watching TV.
"Honey what's wrong?" she asked gently placing an arm around her waist. Rory smiled briefly, very briefly at the notion that her mom always thought of her first.
"It's not me mom" She replied deliberately glancing at Alyssa who seemed most oblivious to what was going on.
"Alyssa?" Lorelai asked catching on "Are you ok?"
"Hmm?" Alyssa was caught up in the cartoons.
"Alyssa, why don't we get ready for that bath now?" Rory interjected sensing that this wasn't really the place.
"Ok" Lorelai agreed wondering really what was going on "I'll be up there in a minute" she said walking towards Luke as Rory took Alyssa back to the bathroom.
Luke, who had been standing by the corner the whole time, gave Lorelai a questioning look. She sighed "I don't know. No idea. I'm just glad that Rory's fine" Lorelai paused "but now I don't know what..." she paused again "I think its best if I just go in now, see what's happening" Luke nodded. He understood but was still in shock and his mind was running fast to keep up with his thoughts.
Did this have something to do with Alyssa just being left here?

Rory sighed inwardly as she took Alyssa back to the bathroom; she had a good idea at what was going on but no idea on how to make it better, or how Lorelai would react. As they waited for Lorelai Rory sat on the sink and Alyssa played with a rubber duck what was abandoned in the now cold bath. A knock on the door gave both of them a fright as Lorelai came in.
"Hey" she said trying to keep the anxiety out of her voice but not seceding too well.
"Hi" Rory replied, motioning for Alyssa to come to her as they repeated earlier that evening with getting undressed. Only this time Rory was so much more gentle...
first the jumper... than the shirt...
This was the queue for Lorelai's response but Rory heard nothing, she stood up and looked at her mom. Lorelai was standing one hand on the sink for support; she closed her eyes and looked so sad.
"Mom?" Rory asked
Lorelai opened her eyes and knelt down in front of Alyssa "honey, what happened?"
Rory took this as her time to leave; silently she left the room to join Luke on the couch.
Alyssa looked up at Lorelai a deep blue bruise ran up her arm starting just above her elbow and finishing at her shoulder the colors merged from blue to purple and in some places an off yellow. It didn't stop there Alyssa's body was riddled with them, all down her back, parts of her chest and upper legs.
"What are these?" Lorelai asked calmly.
"Badness" Alyssa said.
Lorelai wasn't too sure on what to do, but thought it best not to go into these things now. "Well, I hope the badness goes away" she said "Now, how about that bath?"
A/N: ok, so that was a little shorter but I hope you are not too disappointed with it. I'll try have some decent conversations in the next chapter so yeah, sorry Rory hasn't been *too* involved yet, I'm no good with her character but will put her in more... all suggestions on what is to happen are welcome and will be considered. Once again the purple-y box is calling your name (while I yell at it to let *everyone* review)
