A/U: Hey. Glad to see some people actually like it! Someone.(I forget)
asked me to read one of their stories.What story was it? Thanks a ton for
the reviews, you have no idea how much it means to me that people actually
like my story and are willing to give me advice. This chapter is going to
be a bit boring. Sorry, but it's the only way I could work it out for the
next chapters.
Waking in the Night
She was awake, though to look at her you wouldn't be able to tell. Her eyes were closed as she laid thinking. All she could remember was the sound of the gun. That's a sound no one could ever forget. It's one of those things that haunts you forever, no matter what therapy you go to. Or who you talk to. She couldn't remember what the guys looked like or where she had been. She almost opened her eyes, then realized that it was all a dream. Her boss couldn't have given her such a large assignment on such short notice, and there's no way she could have been shot. A wave of relief ran through her body. Then she opened her eyes. The room was not familiar. It was definitely not her apartment or her mom's house, or even Luke's for that matter. There were noises drifting in through the door. She heard beeping, crying, screaming, footsteps. She looked around the room. The bed was fairly odd. All of a sudden the door opened.
"Ms. Gilmore. Glad to see you're awake." A lady with blue clothing on commented.
"Where am I?"
"The hospital."
"Do you know what happened to me?"
"No, but there was a fine looking young man who brought you in."
"Jess." she sort of said to herself.
"I'll go get the doctor."
The nurse left the room and left Rory in awe. There was no striking pain, meaning that she didn't get shot, or did she?
"Rory Gilmore I presume?"
"Yes."
"I'm Ed Rebud. Your doctor." The man commented as he walked in her room.
"Ok, umm do you know what happened to me?"
"I sure do."
"Could I know?"
"Of course. Now apparently a young man brought you in. He told the nurses that you had been held at gunshot. He seemed very shy, but eventually informed us that he jumped to get you out of that shot. When you hit the ground, you were knocked unconscious. There was just some scarping at the legs, but other than that you're fine."
"Wow. Does my mom know?"
"She was called, and has come down but she's sleeping. She told me she didn't want to. But a Luke Danes told her it would do her best."
"That sounds like Luke. How long am I stuck here?"
"You have to stay for at least today. Just to make sure that you're okay. But there may be an exception. If you were to have your mother bring you home, you could stay there for a few days. If that is not possible you will have to go with choice A and stay here."
"Can I get up to go see my mom and talk to her?"
"I suppose, you seem to be doing okay."
She slowly got up as thoughts were running through her head. 'Why did Jess leave?' Then it hit her. ' Oh yah, he has a family.' She followed the doctor to her mom who was with Luke.
"Rory." Luke whispered.
"Luke. Thanks for bringing mom."
"Are you okay?"
"I think so."
Lorelai woke up when she heard Luke's voice. She had been scared half to death when she got that call. It's like when you're a little kid. You loose your pet dog. All you can think of is that the dog is okay, and will come home. That was exactly how she was feeling.
"Rory!"
"Mom." Rory had never been so glad to see her. The both got up and hugged.
"Sweetie, you're not supposed to worry mommy like that."
"I'm sorry."
"So Doctor, how long is she stuck here?" Rory just noticed that the Doctor had stayed.
"She could go home with you for a few days, if you keep a close watch on her. Or she could stay here. It's your pick."
"She's coming home." It was then decided.
A few hours later they were in Luke's truck. They had stopped at her apartment to call her boss and pick up some things to work on. Now as they were approaching home, there was a strange feeling. She was going home..
