The Lost 8th Season
Rory wakes up to a symphonic melody of beeps as her phone plays it's version of "Walk like an Egyptian" for when her mom calls. She blinks a couple times before answering that phone in the "I-have-just-slept-on-a-bus-for-the-past-3-hours-and-am-not-exactly-super happy-right-now" voice.
Rory- Hello
Lorelai answers in an urgent voice that catches Rory's attention immediately.
Lorelai- Rory?
Rory- Mom?
Lorelai- Your grandfathers in the hospital, he's had another heart attack.
Rory shot right up in her seat and said in a loud clear voice,
Rory- What?
Everyone on the bus awoke with a start and turned around.
Lorelai- It's pretty serious. We-we don't know if he's going to make it.
Rory looks out the window then turns to talk to Rachel.
Rory- How long until our next stop?
Rachel- Our next stop is a rest stop in the middle of nowhere but well be in Minneapolis in a few hours. Is everything okay?
Rory- A few hours?
Rachel- Yeah.
Rory talking into phone- Mom?
Lorelai- Yeah?
Rory- It's going to be a few hours, then I still have to get a flight.
Lorelai- Okay, when we get into see him I'll tell him you're on your way.
Rory- Mom?
Lorelai- Yeah?
Rory close to tears- Is… is it that bad?
Lorelai- Yeah sweetie. It is.
Rory- I'll get there as soon as I can.
Lorelai- Every things going to be alright.
Rory walked up to the front of the bus and tapped on her boss Matthew's shoulder.
Matthew- Rory.
Rory- Hey Um, I know I just got here, but I'm going to need to take some time off.
Matthew- Is everything okay?
Rory- My grandfathers in the hospital.
Matthew- Oh, I'm so sorry.
Rory breaths deeply.
Matthew- Well, look take as much time as you need and we can get a temp for you. Spend sometime at home and we'll just count these past few days as a trial period okay?
Rory- Thank you so much.
Matthew- I hope everything turns out okay.
Lorelai and Luke rushed into the hospital and found Emily on the first floor waiting room.
Emily- There you are.
Lorelai- Any news?
Emily- No, not a word he's been in there this whole time.
Just then a Doctor came up to them.
Dr. Eriksson- Are you the family of Richard Gilmore?
Lorelai- Yes.
Dr. Eriksson- I'm very sorry…
Emily- Oh, no…. this can't be happening.
Lorelai- What? No!
Dr. Eriksson- Mr. Gilmore has passed away.
Emily Starts crying, Lorelai breaths deeply holding back tears and Luke turns to Dr. Eriksson.
Luke- Thank you, I'm sure you did the best you could.
Dr. Eriksson nods and walks away.
Lorelai goes over and hugs her mom.
Emily crying- You know, he was really proud of you.
