Note: I know there is more than one hospital in New York but since I don't know any of them I'm just referring it as the hospital in New York.


Chapter 1 Freaking out

Matt looked at her "You're Rory Gilmore?" At Rory's nod he added "huh, how did you know about Jess?"

"I didn't I'm here to see someone else." Rory said and then realized she had forgotten about Logan's condition. Pushing him out of her minds telling herself he'd be fine and that Jess who got shot deserved her more immediate attention again she looked at Matt and asked "What happened?"

Matt looked conflicted about telling this girl the story but the look of desperation in the young woman's eyes in front of him told him she was not going take no for an answer and she seemed to truly care for Jess. "This is going to take some time; we'd better call his family first." Matt told her.

Rory nodded "I'll do it; you call his other friends from Philly to let them know what happened."

Matt nodded and they headed over to the phones.


Rory sighted and braced herself as she dialled Jess mom's number.

"TJ" TJ answered.

"TJ, it's Rory. Is Liz there" Rory asked.

"Oh hi Rory. This is a nice surprise. She's right here, Liz its Rory." TJ said.

"Rory" Liz said as she took the phone from TJ "What can I do for you?"

"You have to come to the hospital in New York. I was here to see Logan who got hurt doing something stupid when his friend Matt brought Jess in. Liz he was shot and I don't know how bad it is or what exactly happened but you need to get down here."

"Jess…my baby." Liz said and Rory could feel the woman go pale on the other end and it wasn't long before Rory had TJ back on the phone "Rory what happened? Liz suddenly went very pale and is crying."

"Listen TJ, Jess got shot and is in the hospital in New York, I don't know how bad it is but I think it's bad. You have to drive Liz down here. She needs to be here."

"Jesus, we'll be right there." TJ replied as she tried to comfort his wife.


"Rory?" Lorelai answered her cell phone because she was still on the phone with Luke.

"Mom, I can't get a hold of Luke and I need to because he has to be here he should know what has happened." Rory voice said through the phone and Lorelai immediately knew something seriously bad had happened.

"Rory, honey, I need to you calm down and tell me what happened and why you need Luke?" Lorelai tried to calm her daughter down.

There was a slight pause and a slightly calmer Rory said "I just got to the hospital 20 minutes or so ago to see Logan but then Matt brought him in and told the doctor he was shot. He's lost a lot of blood and he's still in surgery and I don't know if he's going to be ok and I haven't even checked on Logan yet to see if he is, but I need to call his family first and I can't get a hold on Luke."

"Who honey, who got shot?" Lorelai asked part of her already knowing but refusing to accept such a thing could even happen to him.

"Jess, Jess was shot. I already called Liz who broke down but TJ is getting her here but I can't get a hold of Luke and I don't know his fathers number so I can't reach him either. I need you, I can't lose him." Rory said.

Taking a moment to process everything and a deep breath not to let her emotions control her Lorelai said "I'll be right there, honey. I've got Luke on the phone so I can tell him so he can get there as well."

"Thanks mom, are you sure you can drive, it's late and you had a lot to drink." Rory asked suddenly feeling a lot calmer knowing her mother was coming.

"I think Chris is still here but if he isn't I'll ask Sookie to drive me. One way or another I'll be there." Lorelai promised then asked "Why is Logan in the hospital?"

"I think one of his stupid stunts went bad. I don't know, I haven't asked." Rory replied.

"Ok, I'll just tell Luke and then I'll be on my way." Lorelai told her.

"Thank mom." Rory replied before hanging up.

Lorelai sighted and flipped her cell phone closed before brining the phone back to her ear.

"Luke?" she asked.

"I'm still here. Was that Rory?" Luke responded.

"Yeah, she just told me Jess was brought in at the hospital in New York." Lorelai told him.

"What! What happened? Is he going to be ok?" Luke asked her.

"He was shot, and Rory said he's still in surgery. And that they don't know if he's going to be ok." Lorelai said.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." Luke replied "I should call Liz."

"Rory already did, TJ is driving her to the hospital." Lorelai told him.

"What about Jimmy? Does he know yet?" Luke asked.

"Rory doesn't know his number." Lorelai told him.

"I've got it in my cell phone. I'll call him." Luke said.

"Ok, I'll go see if Chris is still here so he can drive me." Lorelai said to him.

"Christopher is there?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, I needed a date from Lane's wedding or Mrs. Kim said I couldn't come you're unavailable Michel cancelled at the last minute Chris was available so he took me. I got a bit drunk so he and Rory took me home. Then Rory went to the hospital to see Logan who apparently got hurt pulling one of his stupid stunts." Lorelai informed him.

"Ok." Luke said still not entirely comfortable with Chris there but knowing now wasn't the time. "I'll see you there then?" he asked.

"Yeah, see you there." Lorelai said hanging up then got up and walked downstairs "Chris?" she asked looking around for him.


Rory hung up the phone and wiped away the tears that had fallen of her cheeks while she was talking to her mother. She looked at the reception and debated to either talk to Matt about what happened or ask if there was more information about Logan. She looked at Matt and the debate vanished as she walked to him determined to find out what happened.


I know I'm evil, still not filling you in what happened to Jess or if he is going to be ok. MUHAHAH, lol I'll try to update again tomorrow with some answers. Until then I want reviews :D
