"Rory?" came the voice she hadnt heard in a long time.

"Clara?"

"Yeah, it's me"

"What's wrong?"

"Dean..." she said starting to cry again.

"What? What's wrong with Dean?" she asked. Not that she cared about him but something bad must've happened and she wanted to know.

"He got in a car accident"

"Clara where are you?"

"Hartford Memorial Hospital. Could you come please? My parents are on vacation and they wont be here anytime soon. Please?" she pleaded and Rory couldn't say no. Afterall, it had been Dean who treated her badly not Clara.

"Of course Clara I'll be right there. Are you in the emergency waiting room?"

"Yeah. Please hurry"

"I will dont worry. Bye" she hung up and grabbed her coat before hurrying to the door.

"Ace?" Logan asked as she breezed past them and opened the door.

"Sorry guys I have to get to the hospital"

"Wait, why?" Paris asked, concerned.

"Dean got in a car accident and his little sister wants me there. Just stay here I'll call you when I know something" she said and closed the door, rushing to her car and driving as fast as she could in the direction of the hospital.

She walked into the waiting room to find Clara sitting in one of the chairs.

"Clara" she said approaching the younger girl, putting a hand on her shoulder. Clara jumped up and huggd Rory tightly.

"Rory" she sobbed. "I'm scared. I dont want to lose my brother" she sobbed into Rory's shoulder. Rory only wish she could feel the same way but she didnt know what to feel.

"It'll be okay Clara" she said although she had no idea if she was right. "Do you know what happened?"

"Him and some friends were at a bar and they said he got really drunk then wanted to go see you" she said and Rory stiffened. She just hugged Clara until she let go and sat back down. The two sat there in silence waiting for the doctor to come out.

Rory glanced over at the doors for about the fifth time in five minutes. She was still battling her emotions. She was sad, but not about Deans condition. She knew that was weird but why should she feel bad for the man who beat her, raped her, and had the stupidity to drive drunk just to see her? She was just sad for Clara. The doctor came out a moment later.

"Are you two here for Dean Forrester?" he asked and they nodded. "Are either of you family?"

"I'm his sister"

"Where are your parents?"

"Out of town. They couldn't make it in time"

"Okay well who are you?"

"I'm Rory Gilmore, Deans ex"

"I want her to hear whatever it is you have to tell us doctor"

"Okay then" he said, coming around and sitting in front of them. 'That's not a good sign' Rory thought before the doctor spoke. "I'm very sorry to say this..."

"Clara"

"I'm very sorry to say this Clara but your brother did not make it"

"You mean..." she trailed off, tears flooding her eyes as the doctor just nodded.

"Thank you doctor" Rory said and he nodded again, leaving the two. Rory pulled Clara into her arms and tried her best to comfort her.

"Why did he have to be so stupid? Driving drunk...the moron!" she sobbed.

"I know Clara but people make mistakes and things happen. I'm always here for you"

"I know and thank you for that Rory" she said, wiping away her tears.

They sat in the room a few minutes longer before Clara spoke again.

"I cant be here anymore. I'm going. Thanks for coming Rory"

"No problem Clara. You call me if you need anything, alright?"

"I will"

Shortly after Clara left Rory did too. As she was driving back to Yale she couldnt help the feeling of relief wash over her. She didnt have to worry about him anymore...but she also couldnt help but feel a bit guilty for being...happy. It was horrible but she was glad she no longer had to worry about her life in danger, or Logans life. She had never really loved Dean and he didnt treat her right.

She pulled into the parking lot and rushed up to her room, closing the door behind her only to be met with several pairs of questioning eyes.

"Dean got in a car accident and...he didn't make it. Clara, his little sister, was really upset so she wanted me there" she said quietly.

"Are you okay?" Paris asked.

"Yeah, but...I dont know. I mean I'm not as devastated as Clara, I'm starting to think I'm only remotely upset because of her. But he was drunk and driving to see me. I feel relief that my life is no longer in danger. God knows what he would've done if he would've made it here"

They all just nodded, not really knowing what to say.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eh, not too happy with the very end but oh well. And I know it's short...dont hurt me. So Dean is out of the picture. I figured it would add a little more drama and also get rid of his presence in the story. More things will happen that involve his death in later chapters. So anyway I hope you liked it and please please review!

Next chapter: More stuff with Lorelai and Luke's situation and...Rory gets another phone call.
