Jess woke up in the same uncomfortable chair he had woken in up in for months. Today was a special day though. It was midnight and his watch alarm just went off. He stared at his sleeping beauty and wished her a happy birthday. She looked much better than she had when he first saw her in this hospital. The doctors said it was all up to her now she had o want to wake up. He knew it couldn't be true. She wanted to wake up he could tell. He looked at the notebook in his lap. The screen was black. He hadn't turned it off and it was plugged in. He looked to the corner. Lorelai was sitting in a chair sleeping peacefully just like Rory. Jess decided to go back to sleep.
"Hey Jess" a hand touched his shoulder causing him to jump.
"Sorry to wake you but I need your help I shouldn't ask you to help I mean you bought all the stuff…"
"You found it."
Lorelai nodded.
"I'll help."
They hung the banner above the bed and put the balloons on the tables. Lane and Dave came in with food. Chris and Gigi brought coffee. Luke still hadn't come back. No one had heard from April or Anna either. If they just hadn't taken the cruise Lorelai and Luke would still be together and Rory would be awake enjoying her birthday. No one blamed him though. There was no point in blaming anyone. Paris and Doyle came a little late because they drove al the way from New York where they'd been for the weekend.
"I can't believe she's been out for 3 months" Paris said slightly insensitively.
A doctor walked in and pulled Lorelai out of the room. She cried outside the room as he spoke and then left quickly. Jess walked outside and knelt beside her sliding his arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer as she told him what they had said between sobs.
"They can't do that" Jess cried.
"It's hospital policy."
"Screw hospital policy!"
"We have an hour to say good bye."
I ran out of the hospital. I drove 25 minutes to the bus station. I was about to get on the bus and go to California. I looked at the clock. I had just enough time to get back and say god bye. I sped back and ran into her room right before the pulled the plug.
"Wait can I have a few more minutes"
"Five." The nurse walked out.
"Rory I know you can hear me so you have to listen" I begged "all of your friends and family were crowded into a small hospital room today for your birthday. They all love you and want you to wake up. You have to do it now Rory. You have to wake up now you don't have time to make a mental pro con list you have to wake up. Lorelai hasn't even properly moped which I know deep down you'd think wasn't good even though you hate moping. She needs you. Lane is having a baby in four months. You have to see it. You missed so much. You can't miss any more you have to wake up please. I love you Rory and I don't care what you think about love right now or what you thought before the accident. If you think love doesn't exist you need to think about all the people who were sitting with you all night long. Your mom only went home once a week. I haven't seen our apartment since the accident. Lane was here for the first month. Paris came everyday so did your dad. Please wake up Rory please if not for me do it for everyone else."
"Sir times up" the nurse came back in. Jess walked out of the room not wanting to see it. He leaned against the wall. A continuous beep sent him to the floor. There was a single scream several steady beeps and a door slamming into his face before anything registered with him.
