Chapter 30: I Killed Him

Lorelai and Rory had reached the hospital and Lorelai was waiting for news on Rory.

'Don't forget to call your parents' Luke's voice said in Lorelai's mind.

'I better do that Lorelai thought' taking out her cell phone and dialing Chris's number.

It rang twice, "Hello" Chris said.

"Hey Chris" Lorelai said trying to keep her voice steady.

"Lor where've you been, we've been so worried" Chris said.

"We found Max" Lorelai said, her voice monotone.

"You have is Rory alright?" Chris asked.

"We're at Boston General, just come I'll tell you more later" Lorelai said hanging up on Chris as she tried not to break down.

Chris had just hung up the phone and looked toward Richard and Emily.

"Well is Lorelai alright?" Richard asked.

"They found Max" Chris said waiting for a reaction.

"Did he hurt her?" Emily asked.

"He didn't hurt Lorelai but he hurt Rory, we have to get down to Boston General" Chris said grabbing his coat.

"Chris I need to talk to you" Sherry said biting her lip.

Chris was about to say something but Richard interrupted.

"We'll go ahead you talk" Richard said as he and Emily were leaving.

"Alright tell Rory I love her and I'll be there soon" Chris said as they left.

"Well what do you want to talk about?" Chris asked a little bit annoyed that he wasn't on his way to Rory.

"Chris I'm pregnant" Sherry said.

"What?" Chris asked.

"I'm pregnant, and yes I'm sure I've gone to the doctor and I am pregnant" Sherry said.

"Why are you telling me this now?" Chris asked a little angry.

"Just incase Rory doesn't make it I just want you to know that you will still have a family" Sherry explained looking down at the ground.

'Why know?' Chris asked himself but decided to let it go, 'Rory's more important' he thought.

"Are you coming?" Chris asked not really sure if he wanted her to come.

"Yeah" Sherry said.

"Alright and we'll talk about this later" Chris said as they left.

Meanwhile at the hospital Lorelai was pacing.

'Something's wrong I just know it' Lorelai thought as she continued to pace.

Just then a doctor came out.

"Ms. Gilmore?" a doctor asked walking up to her.

"Yes" Lorelai said her heart going a million miles a minute.

"I'm Dr. Emmons" she said shaking her hand.

"How's Rory?" Lorelai asked holding her breath.

"You're daughter's lost a lot of blood but she is doing good" Dr. Emmons said.

"So is she going to be alright?" Lorelai asked.

"Rory should be fine she's sleeping right now" Dr. Emmons said.

"Can I see her?" Lorelai asked.

"Yes, her room is 345" Dr. Emmons said.

"Thank you" Lorelai said then she started going over to Rory's room.

'Thank God she's all right' Lorelai thought as she made her way to Rory's room.

When Lorelai walked into the room she was shocked at the sight of Rory.

Rory's face was all bruised and she looked horribly pale.

Just then Lorelai's cell phone rang.

"Hello" Lorelai said.

"Hey, how's Rory" Luke asked.

"She'll live" Lorelai said.

"Good, what room?" Luke asked.

"345" Lorelai said.

"I'll see you soon" Lorelai said hanging up the phone.

As Lorelai sat there it suddenly hit her that she had killed someone.

'I did what I had to do' Lorelai kept saying to herself but she didn't quite believe it.

After about ten minutes Rory started to wake up.

"Where am I?" Rory asked as she opened her eyes.

"You're at the hospital sweetie" Lorelai said going right over to Rory.

"Mom" Rory said as she held her tears back.

"You're safe now, you're safe" Lorelai said pulling Rory into a hug.

"But Max…" Rory started.

"He's gone, he's gone" Lorelai repeated.

'Thank you God' Rory thought as she started to cry.

"I was so scared" Rory said.

"I know, I know" Lorelai said soothing Rory.

Rory looked around the room and was surprised not to see Luke there.

'Wasn't Luke with mom?' Rory asked herself.

"Mom, where's Luke" Rory asked afraid that something had happened.

"He's on his way, so are grandma, grandpa, and your dad, you're safe now" Lorelai said.

"But I still have to…court…Max" Rory sputtered out.

"Rory, Max is dead" Lorelai said.

"But…how?" Rory asked.

"Rory what do you remember?" Lorelai asked not wanting to say the wrong thing.

"I remember Max coming back, cutting my wrists, you and Luke coming, Luke fighting Max, and that's it" Rory said.

"Oh God, Luke killed Max didn't he?" Rory asked feeling guilty.

'He could go to jail' Rory thought.

"No, Luke didn't kill Max" Lorelai said knowing that she would have to tell Rory the truth.

'If Luke didn't, who did?' Rory asked herself.

"Did the police kill him?" Rory asked.

"No, I killed him" Lorelai said biting her lip not sure how Rory would respond.

Rory stayed silent.

"I had to, he was going to kill me and then he was going to kill Luke" Lorelai explained.

Rory couldn't believe it her mother was a killer.

'But it was to save me and Max did deserve it' Rory thought.

"You did what you had to do" Rory said.

"Yeah" Lorelai said, they stayed silent for the next couple minutes until Luke came in.

"Are your parents here yet?" Luke asked Lorelai.

"No, they should be here soon" Lorelai said.

Luke turned to Rory to talk to her.

"You alright?" Luke asked.

"I'm fine" Rory said.

They were quiet for a second.

"Thanks for everything" Rory said looking at Luke.

"No problem" Luke said.

"No really Luke you're the greatest I don't know what I would've done without you" Rory said.

"Rory it was not big…" Luke started.

"No, Luke if it wasn't for you I would be dead by now" Rory said.

Luke bit his lip he didn't know how to respond to this.

Just as Luke was about to say something Emily and Richard walked in.

"Rory are you alright?" Emily asked going over to her granddaughter.

"I'll live" Rory said.

"Where's Chris?" Lorelai asked.

"Sherry had to talk to Christopher, he should be here soon" Emily said disdain in her voice.

"Well as long as he gets here" Lorelai said.

"So what have to police done with Max?" Richard asked.

"The police didn't do anything with him" Lorelai said.

"What, did they just let him go?" Emily asked.

"No mom…" Lorelai started, just then Chris and Sherry walked in.

"Rory are you feeling o.k.?" Chris asked walking over to Rory.

"I'm feeling fine" Rory said.

"Lorelai what happened to Max?" Emily asked.

'I don't want to tell them' Lorelai thought.

'But you have to' a voice in Lorelai's head told her.

"Max is dead" Lorelai said hoping that would appease her parents.

"How did he die?" Chris asked.

'I have to tell them' Lorelai thought.

"I killed him" Lorelai choked out to a shocked audience.
