Disclaimer: I wish I owned Gilmore Girls but I don't
Chapter 21: Emily Gilmore
'I'm the worst person in the world' Paris thought once she got back to the class room and sat down.
Everyone else was talking around Paris but she ignored all the other voices as she started to think more into what the Headmaster and Officer had said.
'She was raped, I thought something was up with her but I just thought it was her being weak and not wanting to work' Paris thought as she picked up a pencil.
'The worst part is that it was Mr. Medina, she had to see him everyday and she was still able to get through it' Paris thought before her thoughts were interrupted by Madeline.
"Paris what do you think Mr. Medina did?" Madeline asked.
"I don't know" Paris lied weakly.
"I think that he killed someone he's always seemed unstable" Louise said.
"Whatever he did I hope they catch him" Madeline said.
"I'm sure they will" Paris said getting very annoyed.
"So where do you think Gilmore is today?" Louise asked changing the subject.
"I really don't know and I don't care" Paris said quickly.
"But Paris all you've been saying for the past month was that she wasn't working hard enough and that you were thinking of forcing her off the paper" Madeline said.
'Damn I did say that' Paris thought as guilt washed across her again.
"Well don't worry about her she's probably just sick" Paris said firmly so that both Madeline and Louise knew the conversation was over.
In Stars Hollow Lorelai was just waking up from her nap and was surprised to find Luke sleeping on her couch.
'He stayed; wow he really does care about us' Lorelai thought as she went to wake him up.
"Luke wake up" Lorelai said into Luke's ear as she slowly shook him.
'Where am I?' Luke thought and looked up to see Lorelai looking at him.
"Oh hey Lorelai how you doing?" Luke asked a little flustered.
"Hey sorry to wake you but you do have to go because my parents will be here soon" Lorelai explained.
"Yeah well I'll get going" Luke said as he started walking off.
"Luke thanks" Lorelai said smiling at him.
"Don't worry about it" Luke said as he left.
'He really does care for me, he stayed' Lorelai thought as she went to wake up Rory.
A couple of hours later there was a knock at their door.
'Please be Chris" Lorelai thought as she went to open the door.
To Lorelai's surprise it was actually Chris and he looked very mad.
"Hey Chris how's it going?" Lorelai asked nervously after seeing him.
"It's going fine where's Rory?" Chris asked sounding very angry.
"Chris please calm down you being angry won't help Rory" Lorelai said.
Chris sighed, "Alright I'll calm down, how is she?" he asked calmly.
"She's doing good, just talk to her like you normally would" Lorelai said.
"O.k. so when will your parents be here?" Chris asked.
"Soon" Lorelai said as they walked into the house.
"Hey kiddo" Chris said when he saw Rory.
"Hey Dad" Rory said weakly when she saw him.
'Just act like you normally would' Chris said to himself as he sat down next to her.
"How's school going?" Chris asked trying to keep his voice steady.
"It's going fine" Rory said not looking at him.
"Have you read any good books lately?" Chris asked hoping that would get her to open up.
"I've tried to read The Old Man and The Sea" Rory said looking up at him.
"Is it any good?" Chris asked.
"It's o.k. but I'm just reading it to make a friend happy" Rory explained.
"That's good" Chris said smiling. Just then there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it" Lorelai said as she went to the door. She took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Hey Mom and Dad" Lorelai said with a fake smile on her face.
"Hello Lorelai, where's Rory?" Emily asked pushing Lorelai out of the way.
"She's in the other room talking with Chris" Lorelai said.
"How is Christopher?" Richard asked.
"He's doing well I guess" Lorelai said.
"Hello Rory, Christopher" Emily said.
"Hello Mrs. Gilmore" Chris said.
"Hey Grandma" Rory said not really looking at her.
Emily then turned and looked at Lorelai, "Please tell me that Max is in jail" she said.
Lorelai bit her lip, "He's not in jail yet, he ran before we could catch him" Lorelai said.
"Don't worry I'm sure he'll be caught soon" Richard said comforting his family.
"Thanks Dad" Lorelai said.
"I just want to know how you didn't know this was going on" Emily said.
'I knew she'd make this my fault' Lorelai thought.
"Mom, Max and Rory both hid it well besides neither of you two seemed to notice what was going on with her" Lorelai said to her parents.
Richard felt guilt run through him, 'I should have noticed something' he thought.
"Maybe we should have noticed but still you're her mother and you should have noticed something" Emily said.
"Rory I think we should leave" Chris whispered to her.
Normally Rory would have stayed but she wasn't in the mood for watching a fight today. "Let's go" Rory said as they walked out the door.
"I admit I should have seen something and I will never have a bigger regret in my life but this is only Max's fault" Lorelai said.
"It's not only Max's fault it's also your fault Lorelai" Emily said.
"Emily…" Richard started; he wasn't going to let her upset his daughter even more.
"No Richard she needs to hear this, I don't feel that Rory is safe in this home" Emily said getting angry.
"Well she lives here and believe me she will be fine now that Max is gone" Lorelai said.
"She's not going to live here anymore Lorelai" Emily getting even angrier.
"What does that mean?" Lorelai asked getting scared.
"Yes Emily what does that mean?" Richard asked very confused.
"It means that I've talked to some lawyers and Chris, we've decided that Rory would be safer with him then with you" Emily stated to a shocked audience.
