Chapter 8- News

::.Gilmore Residence- 1 and a half weeks later.::

"Uh... HOME!" she managed to get out of the car. She didn't have to have those crutches, or a wheelchair anymore.

She found Jess on the stairs with coffee. She walked up to him, and took the coffee, "Thanks, I need it."

"Yeah, no problem, when Luke got back, and heard about you, and about Dean missing, he almost blew a fuse!" now he realized bringing up Dean wasn't a very good idea. "Mm, sorry for bringing..."

"Um, I'm fine. Really..." she said, but she was still scared that he would come back. She heard in the hospital that after their little "chat" he had fled.

"Alright, do you need help up the stairs?" he would do anything to help her.

"No, let me do it," she needed to prove to him, to herself, that she was fine. She took one step, and it hurt......... bad.

"Alright, here we go," Jess said as he stood up and helped her with walking up the steps. When they got to the top, he kissed her.

"Hi," she said when the pulled away.

"Hey," he replied.

"Hello?" Lorelai was on the bottom step watching them.

They all entered the house.

~A Week Later ~

"Do you mind if I use your bathroom?" Jess asked. Him and Rory just finished watching a movie.

"Nah, go ahead."

Jess got up and walked to the bathroom. There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it," Rory said to no one.

She got up and walked to the door, and opened it.

"Told you, you would pay," Dean said.

She ran away from him, as he followed. She ran up the stairs, as did he.

2/3 the way up, he caught up to her, but waited to catch her till the top. They reached the top and he took her by the throat and slammed her up against the wall, choking her.

"Stop it, Dean, stop!" she couldn't speak above a whisper, due to no air.

He kneed her in the stomach, and let her fall to the floor. He kept kicking her in the gut, but didn't know Jess was in the bathroom, or in the house.

A/N: GOSH! I AM ON THE EDGE OF MY CHAIR ON THIS ONE!
