Chapter 17: Bad News

Lorelai entered Rory's room quietly in case she was asleep.

When Lorelai got in the room she found that Rory was asleep. She was a little relived that she wouldn't have to talk to Rory just yet.

Lorelai took a closer look and Rory. She couldn't believe how bad Rory looked.

'How the hell did I miss this?' Lorelai asked herself as she started to cry.

'This is all my fault my daughter needed me and I failed her I don't deserve to be a mother' Lorelai thought.

Just then Rory began to wake up.

"Luke are you there?" Rory asked.

Lorelai felt her heart break a little, 'Of course she's asking for Luke he actually helped her' Lorelai thought.

"No it's your mom" Lorelai said nervously.

"Hey" Rory said sitting up.

I'm so sorry" Lorelai said.

"Mom, you didn't know" Rory said.

"I should have, I'm a horrible mother I wouldn't blame you if you never forgive me" Lorelai said.

Rory was torn on the one hand she knew that her mother didn't know what Max was doing and wanted to forgive her. The other side was furious at her though because she should have known and stopped it.

"How didn't you know what was going on?" Rory choked out. She had to know how Lorelai didn't realize that she was being abused.

Lorelai thought for a second, "I guess at first I thought it was just something with Dean and after you broke up with him you seemed happy so I guess I just assumed boyfriends troubles" Lorelai said.

Rory nodded for her to continue.

"Then I guess I was just waiting for you to come to me and I never really thought Max would was capable of this so I never even considered it" Lorelai said openly crying.

'All that makes sense' Rory thought.

"What all did Max do to you?" Lorelai asked breaking the silence.

Rory paused for a moment.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" Lorelai said.

"No, I need to tell you" Rory said taking a deep breath.

"When you joined the Booster Club was when he first started hitting me and it continued until I broke up with Dean, then I was good until Christmas, he r-r-raped me when you were out of the house and he's abused me and ra-raped me twice since then" Rory said trying not to cry.

'How could Max do this?' Lorelai asked herself as she walked over to Rory.

"I'm sorry I promise no one will ever hurt you again" Lorelai said hugging Rory.

"Can I go back to sleep?" Rory asked the antibiotics kicking in.

"Sure I'll be here if you need any thing" Lorelai said.

"Alright" Rory said going to sleep.

Lorelai walked back outside to find everyone waiting in anticipation.

"So how is she?" Luke asked.

"She's doing better, I think she's still a little uncomfortable around me but she accepts that I didn't know about the abuse" Lorelai said.

"That's good, when can I see her?" Lane asked.

"In a little bit she's sleeping right now" Lorelai said.

Lane nodded.

"I'm going to find some coffee" Lorelai said.

"I'll come with" Luke said.

'Why does Luke want to come he hates coffee' Lorelai thought as they walked down the hall.

"Thanks for helping her" Lorelai said.

"It was nothing, I'd do anything for Rory" Luke said.

"I'm glad you would, I still can't believe Max would actually do this to her" Lorelai said.

"Did he change any?" Luke asked.

"Not really he still acted all nice and caring like nothing was wrong" Lorelai said.

Luke nodded.

"I mean is it so hard to find someone who will love me and Rory?" Lorelai asked.

"Don't worry you'll find someone eventually" Luke said.

'Maybe even me' Luke thought.

Eventually they found coffee it wasn't that good but it was still coffee so Lorelai had some.

"What are you going to do about Max?" Jess asked when they came back.

"I'm not sure I'll call the police and we can go from there" Lorelai said.

Just then the doctor came up to them.

"I have Rory's test results back" the doctor said.

"And?" Luke asked.

"I'm sorry to say that she tested positive for Chlamydia" the doctor said.

"What's that mean?" Jess asked.

"It means we have to give her some antibiotics, but on the plus side she isn't pregnant and doesn't have anything more serious" the doctor said.

"Would you mind doing an STD test on me?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure we'll just need some of your blood I'll get you when we're ready" the doctor said walking away.

"Why do you want to do that?" Lane asked.

"If Rory has it then I could have it which means that Max probably cheated on me" Lorelai said feeling even more betrayed.

Luke couldn't believe it the bad news just kept on coming for Lorelai.

"It wasn't supposed to be like this I was supposed to have the whole package" Lorelai said sitting down.

The doctor came back up to them.

"We're ready for you, if you could just come back" the doctor said leading the way.

Luke looked over at Jess and for the first time realized how angry he really was.

"I'm going to kill that bastard" Jess said.

"Jess I know you want to, I want to but you can't" Luke said.

"Why not?" Jess asked.

"Because then you'll go to jail and Rory will feel guilty" Luke said.

"I guess but still prison is too good for that guy" Jess said.

"Jess just calm down, Luke's right let the police deal with it" Lane said.

"I guess" Jess said defeated.

Just then something hit Lane.

"Crap, I have to call my mom she's going to kill me" Lane said.

"Here borrow my phone" Luke said handing it to her.

Meanwhile back in Stars Hollow Max was panicking.

'If that kid told she is so dead' Max thought as he started packing up his car.

Max was just throwing some basic stuff in so if Rory hadn't told he could convince Lorelai that it was nothing.

Max took a look at the house he would have liked to stay but he knew that he couldn't take the risk of going to jail. He had to hit the road for now and find Rory later so he could punish her.
