Helpless. That's what she was. She hated that word and she couldn't even think of a time in her life when she would have labeled her self that but that's just what she was. Lying there on her own front porch, helpless. She could barely hear her daughters' words, she didn't know if it was because she was whispering or if it was because the sounds of her own sobs were drowning out all sounds of the night.

Rory was still in shock and all she could think of was this cant be my mom. It was a thought that had been circling her head since she pulled up in front of the house. But she needed to think about what she was going to do to help the only woman who had been with her since she was born. How am I going to get her to the hospital, I can't move her. She began thinking about the present instead of dwelling on the past. LUKE. She ran back to her car as fast as she could and grabbed her bag, which hopefully had her mobile phone in it. As soon as she saw it a small flicker of hope soon found its self in her heart. Luke was the only person, apart from her mom that she could remember being there for most of her life.

The phone started to ring, she couldn't even remember typing in the number for Luke's and she didn't notice the ringing at the other end, the only thing she was listening for was his voice.

"Luke's." The all too familiar voice exclaimed over the other end of the phone.

"Luke I need you to…" she was cut off by Luke who Rory thought never sounded more scared in his life.

"Rory? What's wrong? What do you need?" Luke had never been very observant of people's problems and didn't really care about town gossip, but Rory was like his daughter and he had never heard her sound more scared in his life. It terrified him.

"Its mom." Rory exclaimed, she knew that's all she needed to say and he would be there within seconds.

"Im on my way." The terror that has struck Luke earlier was now implanted in his heart and he felt like he couldn't move, his blood ran cold from what he heard, those two words. Lorelai. His brain kicked into over load and he began to run for the door. He shouted something to Ceaser about closing up grabbed his keys and ran in the direction of the Gilmore residence.

Rory felt like some of the sorrow that had been surrounding her heart lift, Luke would help; Luke would know what to do. She walked back to where her mother had been lying and knelt beside her and as gently as she could took her hand in hers. It hurt just to look at her so she didn't; she closed her eyes and imaged all of the good times her mother had shared with her. She didn't realize she was crying until she had the overwhelming urge to scream. As she slowly opened her eyes and looked down at her mother for the first time she realized she was conscious.

"Mom?" Barely above a whisper, she couldn't even hear herself say the word

"Rory…I'm sorry." The words chocked out of her mouth as though they were the hardest thing to say in the world.

Rory stared at her mom in disbelief. "What do you have to be sorry for?" before she could answer the question Rory turned around just in time to see Luke running up the lawn towards them.

"Rory? What's wrong? Where's your…" the image laid out before him answered all of the questions that were running in his head but also brought more unanswered questions. He couldn't think, he couldn't move, he thought he had died. He didn't realize it at the time but he was slowly moving toward where both the Gilmore Girls were lying. He bent down and looked at the mess that was before him. Oh my god what happened to her? He needed to be her knight in shining armor like he always was but he couldn't be. For the first time in his life he wanted to cry, and in front of people. He had always been strong but this was Lorelai. It was then that something within him snapped and he was roughly shaken from what ever thought he was having.

"Rory?" He looked down to the young girl who he had seen almost every day since she was a toddler.

Rory's head began to move as her eyes shifted from her mother upwards towards Luke's face. She saw hope and warmth she felt as though everything was going to be okay looking into he eyes. But she realized that know one could guaranty that to her, not even Luke

"What happened?" Luke's words washed over her and hardly registered in her head as she realized he hadn't got a clue what had happened either.

"I don't know. I came home… and found her…... She needs to go to the hospital. I didn't know ….who else…. Luke im sorry." She began crying once more and soon found her self embraced in Luke's arms as he slowly began comforting her.

"Hey, don't you apologies to me you never have to and you never will. Do you understand me?" Luke had now pulled away from Rory and was holding her head between his hands. He kissed the top of her head gave her a quick hug and pulled away.

"I didn't bring my truck because I didn't think I would need it so were going to use your car. I will drive because your in no fit state to." With this last statement he bent down and scooped Lorelai into his arms, trying his hardest not to hurt her even more. He looked down to where she had just been lying and could see red stains already embedded into the wood. He blinked hard trying not to think about how long she might have been waiting for someone to help her.

As soon as he began to move toward the truck Lorelai let out a strangled scream. The all too familiar sensation of pain was back and she could feel herself moving. The thing that scared her to death was that he had come back again "please don't…..no….RORY" she didn't know where she was and she was more scared than she had been earlier that night. She had stopped moving and she looked up into the familiar eyes of her best friend, a single tear rolling down his cheek.

"I would never hurt you." The words carried more emotion than anything she had ever headed.

"Luke?" Her voice was strangled in her throat and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. With the realization that she was in Luke's arms she never felt safer, he couldn't hurt her now.

Luke began to move again after he felt she could trust him. "Were taking you to the hospital" It scared him to see Lorelai react to anyone like that and he couldn't help but cry. It was only one tear but it was all he could manage at the moment without completely breaking down into a quivering, blubbering mass on the floor.

Rory was already standing by the car holding the door open. He was horrified that he might be hurting her just by holding her this way but as gently as he could he placed her in the back of the car. Once she was lying down he ran round to the drivers' side of the car and jumped in. Rory was sitting in the back with her moms head on her lap gently and lovingly stroking her hair, reassuring her she was still there.

It didn't take long before they were at the hospital and Luke was sure he had broken just about all the speed limits just to get there. He drove around to the ER section of the hospital and jumped out of the car running around to Rory's side of the car and holding the door open for her to climb out first. Once she was out he lent in to lift Lorelai out of the car.

Once she was in his arms he turned to Rory and said "Run inside and tell the doctors you need help" she didn't reply she just ran off. Luke began to walk towards where Rory had disappeared; he had barely reached the doors when he saw Rory running towards him with a doctor in tow. Once he was inside the doctor saw Lorelai and asked what had happened.

"I dunno I found her like this at home" Rory replied, she seemed to have calmed down a bit since earlier and was now able to string together coherent sentences.

"Okay, were going to look after your mother. You can wait here and I will come and get you when you can see her" Rory nodded showing that she understood what he said.

Luke placed Lorelai on the gurney that the doctor had brought over and watched as they wheeled her off and into another room. It was the first time he had a chance to think about what had since he found her and Rory. Some thing hit him in the head like it had earlier only this time it wasn't the urge to move it was "you need to phone your grandparents" he said to the floor as he had his head in his hands sitting in the waiting room of the hospital. He slowly looked up to find Rory looking at him with wide eyes

"Oh god I completely forgot, I will be back in a minute" she grabbed her purse and walked outside and left Luke alone in the waiting room.

He let his eyes follow Rory out of the room and through the doors and then looked back around the waiting room. It was quiet for a hospital waiting room. There were a few people waiting to be seen to, he could tell because they were either gritting there teeth in pain or had some kind of make shift bandage around their wounds. The thought made Luke feel a bit ill so he shifted his attention back to the spot on the floor he was looking at earlier. It wasn't long before the familiar questions that had occupied his head earlier came back.

Why would someone want to hurt Lorelai? Who had done this? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Does she still have a boyfriend? Oh god was it his who did this to her? Did he…rape her? The word was even too hard to say in his head, he couldn't imagine who would want to do that to such a wonderful woman. He tried to clear his head and was soon joined by Rory who walked back into the waiting room looking like she had just seen a ghost. She had an expression on her face that Luke had never seen before it was…..guilt? She sat down next to Luke and explained that her grandparent were on there way and would be here in half an hour. He sat there studying her expression and then quietly asked her "Is everything okay? I mean in no its no okay but I'm here if you want to talk, you know that?"

She was quiet for a long time until she turned to face him with tears streaming down her face she said "she told me she was sorry" she barely had barely got the words out until she was in Luke's arms again her head resting on his shoulder has he rocked her back and forth, like a father comforting his daughter after a bad nightmare. It felt as though time stood still and that they had been that way forever. Rory began to pull away once she had calmed herself down enough to talk to Luke in something other than stutters and sobs through tears.

"Why would she apologies to me for something that's not her fault?" Rory said asking a question she knew Luke didn't have the answer to.

"I don't know Rory, none of this makes any since" Luke said looking back down at the floor. He hated not having answers, especially when it came to Rory, he felt as though he was letting her down.

"I feel like it's my fault, I should have been there for her, why wasn't I there for her? Oh I know because I decided to go to friggin Yale and move away from home to get an education a…." She was cut off by Luke who had moved so he was standing in front of her looking directly at her while she was trying to avert his gaze.

"Rory, this is not your fault none of this is your fault. How can you even blame yourself for this? Your mom is the strongest woman in the world. Know one could have seen this coming not even you. So don't you even thing about blaming yourself for this" he hadn't realized it but somewhere towards the end of his rant he had raised his voice so he was actually shouting at Rory. Its not like he meant to but it just happened. As soon as he had realized he turned slightly red and sat down next to Rory as both of them continued staring at similar spots on the floor. To an outsider they would have looked just like father and daughter both sitting there with eyes cast downwards and with their head in their hands deep in thought.

The minutes ticked by and soon a very young looking doctor slowly walked over to them. Both Rory and Luke looked up at the same time as he announced that they could see her now.

They both stood up and walked over to where the doctor was standing and followed him to where they had taken Lorelai earlier. It wasn't long before they were both standing out side room number 564. Luke looked over to his left and saw Rory staring straight ahead. He was going to tell her it was going to be okay but he couldn't he knew he couldn't promise that to her. Instead he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and she turned her gaze up towards him. She smiled and turned around to face the doctor who was standing behind them.

"Is she going to be ok?" she asked with a shaken voice.

"Her doctor will be in soon to explain her injuries to you" he said offering a small smile to Rory and Luke and turned around and walked off in the direction they had come.

They both turned back towards the door and waited for what seemed like and eternity until Rory got enough strength to push the door open. There was only a small light on in the room, just above where the bed was. Slowly entering the room Rory began to approach the bed. Once she was standing over her bed she looked into her mother's eyes and saw the hurt and pain that she didn't see earlier.

"Mom?" Rory wasn't sure if her mother was even awake until she moved her head to look up at her daughter.

"Hey kid" Lorelai offered with a smile, know matter what condition she was in she still had to be brave for her daughter.

The relief on Rory face was as clear as day. Okay so she's talking that's a good sign. At least that's what she hoped. "What Happened?"

She couldn't look at her daughters face anymore. She turned her head away trying to comprehend that she was going to have to explain the horrible events that had happened that night. She wanted to save her daughter the pain it was going to cause her hearing that her father had put her in hospital. Christopher.


Hit The Floor

I see you walking home alone
Your face is alive and bright.
But you can't see how weak you are
'cos I could end it tonight.

It's the feeling you get when you think
that someone behind is watching you.
Well I can tell you now that someone is me
And I'm about to make it right.

Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do we beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor!

I creep up from behind, touch your neck
move down your spine.
You take a look and breathe so sharp
It's just a matter of time.

Don't scream, I ask of you
but then you let one out so now it's time to go.
I come down on you like a ton of bricks
all over so now it's time to go.

Why do you take it all?
Why do I beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do we beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
(Hit the floor!)

Why do you take it all?
Why do we beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd hit the floor
Why do you take it all?
Why do we beg for more?
I never thought that this is how I'd (hit the floor!)

Take this from me, I wanna hurt you
Take this from me (I wanna hurt you)
