Disclaimer: I recently bought some V05 shampoo and conditioner. That's all I own.
Note: I think this will be my last chapter for this story. I was thinking about adding a couple others, but it all depends on if I can come up with anything of substance for them. I may try another fic soon, though. We'll see. Thanks for the reviews.
Chapter Four
Lorelai's Dream
Lorelai walked through the town square one night. Not a soul could be seen or heard. She walked over to the Gazebo and took a seat.
She felt peace.
Just then she heard a crash.
She looked behind her. Two cars had hit each other in the street.
Her mind raced.
Who would be driving this late in Stars Hollow?
And it was two people nonetheless. She looked over at the cars and quickly recognized one.
"Noooo," she screamed.
One of the cars was Rory's.
Lorelai ran out to the car and yelled into it.
"Rory! Rory! Can you hear me?"
Rory didn't respond.
Lorelai tried to open the car door, but it wouldn't budge.
She looked over at the other car. It hardly had a scratch on it. The car door opened up and the driver came out.
It was Dean.
He was perfectly fine. A little dazed but not hurt; Unlike Rory who was unconscious.
Lorelai saw him and got angry.
"YOU!" she shouted at him. "You did this. You hurt her."
"I didn't mean to," was all Dean could say.
Lorelai shifted her focus back at Rory.
"Rory, can you hear me?"
She tried to get the door to open again.
Dean walked over to her and put his hands on the car door.
"NO!" Lorelai yelled at him. "Stay away from her. You've done enough."
"Lorelai, I'm sorry."
"GO AWAY," she yelled.
Dean dropped his head and turned around and walked home.
Lorelai kept trying to pull the door open but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't do it.
"Lorelai," she heard someone call out.
"Luke?" she responded.
Luke came out from the diner and looked at the car.
"What happened?" he asked.
Lorelai pointed to inside the car where Luke saw Rory.
"Oh no!" he said, "we have to get her out of there."
"The door won't open."
"We'll just have to make it open."
Luke tries to get the car door to open. When that doesn't work he tries to break the back window.
Nothing.
Lorelai's feels like she's about to fall to the floor. She looks in the car again.
"Oh my gosh," she shouts.
"What?" Luke asks.
"She moved. Just now."
Rory did, in fact, move a little. Her head moved slightly as if she was walking up little by little.
"RORY!" Lorelai screamed into the car.
Rory still didn't come out of it. Lorelai tried with the door again.
"I don't understand. Why can't I get the door to open? I mean, it's not even locked. Why can't we break the windows?"
Just then a car came driving down the street. It stopped right in front of Rory's car.
Lorelai's eyes grew wide.
"Mom," she said.
Emily came out of her car and went over to examine the wrecked car.
"Hello Lorelai. Hello Luke," Emily said.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked her.
"Well, I heard about Rory, of course."
"How did you hear about Rory?"
"Everyone has heard about Rory."
"What? But it just happened."
"Oh, Lorelai you're worrying about the wrong thing. You're daughter is injured."
"Yes, mother I know. That's why I'm trying to figure out how to get her out of there."
"Lorelai," Emily says surprised, "I would have thought you of all people would know how Rory's suppose to get out of there."
"Excuse me? What does that mean."
"Lorelai when you were sixteen and got pregnant would you let your father and I help you out? No, you wouldn't. Now Rory has got herself into this and so now she has to help herself."
"Mom, this is different."
"Just because she's not pregnant doesn't mean it's all that different, Lorelai."
With that said, Emily walked back toward her car and opened the door.
"She's hurting, but she will find her way back." With that, Emily got into the car, closed the door and drove off.
Lorelai turned to Luke.
"Luke, what am I suppose to do? I can't let her just stay in there."
"Maybe your mom is right."
"What?"
"Rory needs to work this out on her own. That doesn't mean she doesn't need your help. It just means that she has to figure out what she wants first. You'll be there for her. Lane will be there for her. Your mom and dad will be there for her. I'll be there for her...and you"
Lorelai looks at him. They stare at each other for a few moments.
Lorelai turns back around and looks into the car.
"Oh my God!" Lorelai yells, "She's gone."
The car was empty.
"Luke, where did she go."
Luke looked up and he pointed behind her.
"There she is," he said.
He pointed toward a swing set that sat where the Gazebo was supposed to be.
Rory sat on one of the swings going higher and higher.
"Hi, Mommy," she called out.
"Rory, what happened? How did you get out?" Lorelai cried out as she ran toward her.
"I love swings. The go up and down. Up and down."
"Rory, stop! Talk to me."
Rory stopped swinging and walked to her mom.
"Mom," she said, "I love you."
"I love you, too."
Rory kissed her mother on the cheek and ran off.
She called off to Lorelai, "I'll see you later, mom. I have things I have to do."
Lorelai watched as Rory went off. She turned back around and saw Luke standing right where she left him. Rory's car was now gone.
She walked over to Luke and said, "I need some coffee."
"I know," was all he said.
Luke took her hand and led her inside the diner.
Lorelai woke up soon after.
She got up, remembering the events of the night before. She had stayed at the house that night just in case Rory needed her. It was early, so she quietly got changed and went downstairs. She crept into the kitchen and opened the door to Rory's room slightly. She saw that Rory was sound asleep and closed the door. She made some coffee and wrote Rory a note. She slipped into Rory's room and placed the note on the edge of her bed and walked out. She left the house soon afterwards and headed back toward the inn.
Today was going to be quite a day.
