They arrive at home. Luke had gotten Lorelai some ice and a change of comfy clothes that she had changed into.

"Thank you" She looked at him and smiled

"Anytime, make sure to keep the ice on everything that hurts." He smiles back at her.

"Are you ready to talk?"

"My hip hurts the worst." She holds the ice on her side "yeah I'm ready. Where should I start?"

Luke rubs her hip a little where the ice is.

"Well we could start with I'm going to kill him, and I'm not sure if you want to know this. But...the police didn't find him. He ran off somewhere."

"Well, what are we going to do? Keep me locked up in the house? That's the only option I can think of. Anyway after he took me upstairs and that. He hit me, kissed me. I pulled away and then he continued hitting me and threatening me. He wanted me to sleep with him and I said no so he said I had to suffer consequences which was hitting me more. He said if I didn't kiss him I would be hurt and so would you or he said something like that. So I did. I kissed him. I have never been so scared Luke. Just I hope you aren't mad that I did that"

She takes the ice off her hip and looks at it

"It's really bruised" She shows him

Luke lightly kisses her bruise and then notices how bad it is.

"OH my god Lorelai, that is bad. Are you sure you shouldn't go to the hospital?" She shakes her head no, "Okay, and I'm not mad at you, I am happy that you didn't sleep with him though, but that just got you hurt even more. I can't believe you would let him beat you rather then just sleep with him, I'm so thankful that you did that for me, and for us. I know we can't just lock you up but what if he comes after you again, this time it may be worse...he...he could...kill you."

"I'm scared he will come after me. I just don't want to be alone or left alone for awhile. I have no idea what to do about work. Luke, Rory isn't mad at me is she?"

"Don't worry; you won't ever be left alone. I will make sure someone is with you all the time. I don't ever want you to be left alone Lorelai, do you understand that, wherever you are I want someone with you and no Rory's not mad, she understands."

"Okay. Will you stay most of the time? It's nice to know you are protective. I like it" She smiles and then lays down putting her head on his lap and looks up at him.

They here a noise outside.

She grabs his hand "What the hell was that?"

"I don't know, Stay here and don't move okay." Luke opens the door and doesn't see anything, but he hears a scream from inside the house.

Chris had come in the back why and pushed Lorelai so hard she fell off the couch and hit her hip on the coffee table.

"Hey! Leave her alone." Luke marches over towards Chris.

"Don't come any further Luke." Luke walks further anyway and tries to get to Lorelai but she is on the ground crying and trying to get up. Chris is standing over her.

"Wouldn't you hate it if she got hurt even more?" Chris said with an evil grin and pulled Lorelai up by her hair.

"I'll seriously kill you Chris. Let her go you've done enough"

"Don't touch her, and you don't move or I'll hurt you even more"

"Chris you don't have to worry about me moving. I'm not going anywhere I don't think I can move"

"Please let her go, I swear I'll call the police."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Luke, you make that phone call and Lorelai gets hurt more." He looks at Lorelai. "And you shut up; I don't want to hear another word from you!" He says as he slaps her and still holds her from the hair.

Lorelai mouths "help" to Luke

"Okay Chris hit me do what you did to Lorelai to me. Leave her alone. Take it out on me. I'm the one you want to hurt. Not her. Just think if you would get her she would be hurt or worse dead so why are you wasting your time hurting her to be with her?"

"I've told her this and I will tell you this, if I don't get to be with her, then no one does, if she goes back to you I swear it will be the last thing she does!" He throws her back on the floor like a rag doll, this time her leg hits the table.

"So you will kill her because she don't want to be with you?"

"Maybe. I don't know"

Lorelai is lying on the ground breathing heavily. She can't move at all

"If you kill her then you kill me too, that's the deal."

"You are really willing to make that deal."

Luke gulps. "Yes I am."

"Okay here's another part to the deal, you have to sit and watch me kill her first before I get to you." Chris walks over to Lorelai and kicks her.

"I won't watch you kill her, and she won't watch you kill me. You want to kill me take me in another room"

Lorelai cried on the floor in pain and forgot she was to shut up "Luke no you don't have to do that for me. Let him just hurt me, at least you can live your life"

Luke just stared at Lorelai

"Lorelai, I can't watch him keep hurting you anymore, I have to do something."

"Sorry buddy, your chances are done with to protect her."

Chris takes a glass bottle that is near the table and smashes on the floor near Lorelai, to scare her.

She screams. "Please Chris, either stop it right now! Or just get it over with; I'm in too much pain to care anymore!"

"If that is what you really what." Chris says and takes the other bottle and prepares to smash the glass over Lorelai's head.

"Wait!" Luke screams at him and Chris freezes.
