Chapter 8: Your not Gonna Loose me
The group of worried parents waited for half an hour before the Dr. Lewis told them their children have been placed in room 215. He gave them directions and told them he would see them after he finished his rounds.
Lorelai, Mark, and Julia were the only ones allowed into the room at the moment. Emily, Richard, Janlan, Luke, Paris and Kyle all waited in the hallway.

Lorelai walked in and straight over to Rory's sleeping body. Lorelai pulled up a chair and sat down grabbing her only daughters hand. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Mark and Julia doing the same thing with their son. She didn't know what kind of relationship they had, but at the moment she could see that they loved Tristin very much.
Lorelai leaned over and brushed her had across Rory's head. She knew her daughter had just come out of surgery and was really tired and pumped full of drugs, but she wanted her to be awake. She wanted to be able to wrap her arms around her and tell her everything will be all right. She wanted to know what happened. Was it Dean who shot them? Or was it someone else? But who? She had so many unanswered questions.
"Rory, I don't know if you can hear me. It's your mother. I just want to tell you that I love you, and that you and Tristin will be ok." Lorelai whispered to her daughter "I'll be right here beside you until you wake up."
Lorelai glanced over at the DuGrey's. They were whispering to him as well, probably saying the same things to Tristin.
There was a knock on the door and all the conscious occupants looked towards it. Dr. Lewis was standing there he was motioning them to come outside.
At the same moment Lorelai and Julia bent down and kissed their children on the forehead and told them they'd be right back, they just had to step out and talk to their doctor.
The adults left the room and entered the hallway once again.

"They should sleep for a little while longer. They may wake up but they need all the rest they can get right now." Dr. Lewis started
"But they are going to be ok right?" Emily asked
"They will be fine. We might have to do some physical therapy, but there won't be any permanent damage."
"Thank God." Replied Emily

Meanwhile back in room 215…
Tristin and Rory lay beside each other just a few feet away but close enough that f they reached their arms across they could touch each others hands. Although when you're unconscious that doesn't really matter.
They both lay there sleeping. No one knew what he or she was dreaming about.
Rory was somewhere outside, maybe in the Chilton courtyard. She wasn't sure because of all the fog. It was thick and white, gray in some parts. She thought maybe that's where the school was. She didn't like the feeling this place gave her. She felt alone, and the place itself was very gloomy. Trying to find her way out of the fog, she decided to walk; maybe she could find her way home, or at least to a better place. She was walking for a few minutes and then she stopped. 'Was that a person up a head? It sure looked like one. It's a boy, I think I recognize him. Wait a minute that's Tristin.' Rory took a few more steps towards Tristin he was walking in the other direction. "TRISTIN" Rory called out to him. He didn't stop. 'Maybe he didn't hear me' "TRSTIN" She tried again. 'Why won't he stop?' Rory started to run towards him, she was running as fast as she could, still calling out his name, she wasn't getting any closer, nor was he stopping. Rory was out of breath she had to stop or she would faint. When she looked up at Tristin he was still walking away, she looked around her she was still in the same place as when she started. Just then she heard someone, that wasn't Tristin. Although this person also sounded familiar. He was laughing; it was a really evil sounding laugh. It sent chills down her spine. She knew that laugh it belonged to Dean. She looked back towards Tristin, he was slowly disappearing. She needed to get his attention.
Tristin was in dreamland as well. The dream he was having was the exact opposite if Rory's. When he looked up she was slowly disappearing as well. And that laugh it was so bone chilling. It gave him the creeps. He glanced back at Rory's retreating figure. He needed to get her attention.
They couldn't lose each other; after all they had been through together. They both thought to themselves 'I have to get his/her attention.' Then at the same time they both yelled
'RORY'
'TRISTIN'
At that moment they both woke up. Both unsure of what happened or where they were.
Rory tried to get up but her legs were to heavy to move. She opted to look around instead. She turned her head to her right and then she saw him. Trsitin he was just lying there. He turned his head as well and they locked eyes. In that moment they both new they were ok. That must have been just a nightmare.
"Mary" Tristin whispered and small smile adorning his tired face.
"Bible Boy" Rory replied her face matching Tristin's
"I thought I lost you." Tristin said to her. Both of them were remembering what happened with Dean that afternoon.
"You could never loose me, but I also thought I lost you."
"Don't worry that won't ever happen."
"Good"

Out in the hallway…
Dr. Lewis was just about to leave the adults. He turned to walk away, and the adults were about to sit down and talk about what was going on. When they heard Rory and Tristin yell each other's name. They both sounded so upset. Like they were never going to see each other again.
Dr. Lewis said it was ok to go in and so the adults rushed back into the hospital room.
"Rory?" Lorelai said to her daughter
"Mom!" Rory said her voice sounding tired but there was happiness in it. Not like when she was yelling for Tristin.
Lorelai rushed to her bedside, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Oh my baby, I love you so much. Don't ever get shot again. Ok?"
"I love you to mom, and I promise not to ever get shot again." Rory replied with a smile on her face.
"The same goes for you to Tristin." Mark said coming into the room with Julia and Luke and the grandparents following behind.
"Tristin!" Julia squealed
"Hi mom" Tristin said with a smile on his face.
Julia came up to her son and carefully wrapped her arms around him.
"Kids were so glad you are ok, but what happened?" Richard asked the two teens
Tristin and Rory both told them the story of their afternoon. When the adults heard what they had to say, they were really pissed off. Some were plotting revenge, others how to keep them safe in the future.
After Rory and Tristin told their parents their story they were really tired again. They both drifted off into a much-needed peaceful slumber.

After leaving the Gilmore's Dean got in his already packed car and drove off. He knew that if Tristin and Rory survived the police would be after him. And so would their families. He though the best thing to do for now was to disappear. He wasn't sure where he was going just yet but it would be far away from Connecticut. Maybe he would head southwest. He wasn't sure how long he would be gone for, but he was coming back.
