Chapter 20: The Police and Paris

A couple of hours later the doctor gave Rory the o.k. to go home.

"Just take these pills every couple of hours for 10 days" the doctor said handing Lorelai both prescriptions.

"Thank you" Lorelai said as they walked out of the hospital.

"Don't worry about Lane and Jess I'll take them home you just worry about Rory" Luke said as they began walking.

"Mom do we have to go home?" Rory asked fear evident in her voice.

"Don't worry we'll drive by first and be sure he's not there" Lorelai said pulling Rory into a hug.

"Don't worry about him I'll meet you there just in case he is" Luke said.

"Thanks Luke" Rory said hugging him.

Once they got back to Stars Hollow Rory started to shake like crazy.

"Don't worry we'll wait for Luke to meet us" Lorelai said.

After about five minutes they saw Luke and followed him to their house.

"His car's not here" Rory stated.

"That's a good sign" Lorelai said with no emotion in her voice.

They both watched Luke go in the house and waited for what felt like the longest two minutes of there lives.

When Luke came out of the house he signaled that it was fine for them to come in. They both sighed with relief as they got out of the car.

"It looks like he took some stuff and ran" Luke said.

"Thanks Luke would you mind staying while we wait for the police to arrive?" Lorelai asked.

'Please let him say yes' Lorelai begged in her mind.

"Yeah I'll stay" Luke said.

"Thanks just let me call them" Lorelai said walking to the phone.

After about half an hour the police arrived.

"Hello Ms. Gilmore I'm Officer Lopez, but you can call me Nicole, I hear that you want to report a rape" she said.

"Well it's my daughter that has to report it" Lorelai said.

"Alright I just want to talk to her" Nicole said.

"Rory could you please come here" Lorelai said and Rory came out of her room.

"Alright Miss. Gilmore, take your time just tell me what happened" Nicole said.

Rory started at the beginning explaining everything in such vivid detail that Lorelai, Nicole, and Luke started crying.

"I'll get down to Chilton right away to see if he's there and if you need anything else just call" Nicole said as she left the house.

"Well I have to get back to the diner and Lorelai believe me if you need anything just call and I'll be here as soon as I can" Luke said.

"Don't worry I will" Lorelai said.

"I'm going to go to bed" Rory said as she went to her room.

"I'm worried about her" Lorelai said.

"Well you are here mother so that's good" Luke said.

"I'm just not sure I can deal with all the gossip and I don't want to face my parents or Chris later" Lorelai said.

"Don't worry about it I'm sure that you can handle them and they won't blame you" Luke reassured her.

"I know that my dad and Chris might not but my mom will no matter what she will find an insane way to blame me" Lorelai said.

Luke thought for a minute 'She's probably right but I can't let her know that' he thought.

"Just go and get some sleep you'll need some rest so you can face your family" Luke said.

"Thanks I'll try" Lorelai said as she went to her room.

Luke started to walk out 'I should stay in case Max comes back' he thought. Luke then sat down on there couch and waited.

Meanwhile Nicole had finally gotten to Chilton and was going to interview the Headmaster.

"Hello Ms. Lopez now what do you want to talk to me about?" the Headmaster asked.

"I would like to talk to you about Max Medina" Nicole said.

"He just quit last night, why is something wrong?" the Headmaster asked getting worried now.

"He's wanted for the rape and abuse of his step-daughter" Nicole said.

Headmaster Charleston paled, "You mean Rory Gilmore?" he asked.

"Yes" Nicole said.

"I thought something was wrong with her but I didn't think that was it" the Headmaster said.

"Well anything you can tell me about him will help" Nicole said.

"I can't tell you much but I know that he called me last night and quit you could confront the class and ask them, one of them might have seen or heard him say something" the Headmaster said.

"That would be fine" Nicole said as the Headmaster stood up to lead her to the room.

'Where the hell is Gilmore I need her article for the paper' Paris thought as she sat in English.

Since Mr. Medina had quit yesterday today was just a study hall for them.

Madeline and Louise were just talking about boys and make-up, 'Why do I even talk to them?' Paris asked herself as she re-read her article for the eleventh time.

Just then the door opened and noticed a police officer with the Headmaster.

'I wonder who's getting busted?' Paris asked herself.

"Students I have some disturbing news it appears that Mr. Medina is wanted by the police so Ms. Lopez here will be asking you some questions" the Headmaster said.

There was a collective gasp nobody had thought that something like this would cause Mr. Medina to leave.

"Hello I'm Officer Nicole Lopez and if any of you know anything about Mr. Medina or his whereabouts please tell me because he needs to be caught" Nicole said.

"What did he do?" a random student asked.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss that with you it is just important that he is caught" Nicole said.

"Well if anyone does have any information please call the police" Nicole said as both she and Charleston left the room.

After they left the entire room went into a collective talk the study hall teacher tried to stop it but she couldn't do anything about the noise.

'I have to know what's going on' Paris thought.

Paris went up to the teacher and asked if she could go to the bathroom the teacher obliged and Paris left the room to see if she could catch Charleston and the Officer talking.

Paris walked silently until she heard both the Headmaster and Nicole talking.

"I still can't believe that Max would actually do this I feel like a failure" the Headmaster said.

"I checked his priors and nothing pointed to him doing this" Nicole said.

'What did he do that was so bad?' Paris asked herself.

"This is going to be horrible when this gets out no matter what happens I'll be lucky to keep my job and poor Rory Gilmore" Charleston said as he started to rant.

'What did he do to Gilmore?' Paris asked herself again as she leaned in closer.

"Don't worry she'll slowly recover from the rape but I doubt she'll truly trust anyone her mom dates ever again" Nicole said.

Paris was stunned, 'I knew that Mr. Medina was dating her mom but rape her that doesn't seem like him' she thought.

"I just can't believe that nobody saw this I knew they were married but I guess none of us noticed because Rory's work didn't suffer and she never really had any friends here" Charleston said.

Now Paris was beginning to feel guilty she knew that she had harassed Rory on purpose to make her feel bad. 'All I did was add more stress to her awful life' Paris thought as a few tears rolled down her face.

"Well I need to get going…" Nicole started and that was all Paris listened to as she ran back to the room with an intense feeling of guilt running through her.
