Chapter – Pitch Black

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

Little did Rory and Paris know, Dean was watching the entire interaction from behind a tree. He had followed Rory out of Chilton to get a chance to get close to her, for Dean did not know that he wasn't wanted.

'Why is she crying? Jess-fuckin'-Mariano must've done something…' Dean thought.

Outraged, he watched as Rory drove off. He didn't think that she was the type to skip school, but apparently… she was.

Dean got into his old beat up truck and drove after her, wanting to find out what was wrong with Rory. He drove along the road, right behind the brunette and watched as she turned at the park. He parked his car and simply watched Rory get out of her car and walk over to a bench. Dean watched for about 5 minutes then decided to get out of the car and talk to her.

"Rory!"

Rory turned around and her blue eyes grew big and round.

"Dean? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I saw you run out of the school. I was just wondering where you were going."

"You followed me?" Rory asked, scooting about 3 inches away from Dean on the bench.

"Well, yeah."

She as completely freaked out. This guy had been watching her!

"Um, Dean… I think you need to leave."

"What? Why?!"

"I just don't feel comfortable with you here. To tell you the truth, it's freaking me out."

Dean looked at her for a second. He didn't know what to think! Finally, he got over his confused state and anger pored into it. He picked up Rory and put her over his shoulder.

"What the hell are you doing!? Put me down!" Rory yelled while hitting Dean's back.

Dean didn't say anything. He just took the screaming girl and put her in the backseat of his car. He buckled her up and got into the driver's seat.

"DEAN! Stop this! What are you doing?!" She yelled.

"Just trying to show everyone what's mine. Stop moving around, someone will see."

"What the hell!? You crazy bastard!"

"Shut up, bitch!"

Dean turned around in his seat and the next thing Rory knew, she felt a stinging pain on her cheek.

He had slapped her.

Dean Forrester had slapped her.

The next thing Rory knew, the world was blacking out. She couldn't see. This was almost the same exact feeling as when she found out that her mother was in the hospital.

Pitch black.

---------

Rory opened her eyes slowly. She was clearly confused on where she was at the moment. She looked around and realized that she definitely wasn't in her bedroom.

"Hey gorgeous, feelin' better?"

Dean.

Rory just looked at him with wide eyes.

"What are you doing to me?" Rory asked softly.

"It's a surprise." She watched as Dean lifted his eyebrows suggestively. She wanted to gag.

"Dean, bring me home." Rory said in a whisper laced in venom.

"Why? Why Rory? So you can go over to Jess and smog him all day long?! Is that what you wanna do Rory? Cause I'm not going to let that happen. You deserve someone better. Jess is a jerk."

Rory scoffed. "And you're not? Dean, you kidnapped me and locked me in your room! Oh wait, you're not a jerk. You're an asshole!"

Dean's face quickly turned crimson red.

"Don't ever say that again."

Rory said nothing.

"I'm going to the store real quick to get us a movie, food, and… unmentionables." He winked, Rory looked disgusted. "Don't even think about leaving cause I'm locking your door."

With that, he left.

Rory quickly looked around the room. There was a queen sized bed, a dresser, and many pictures of her on his wall. Creepy. His roomed screamed STALKER! She just wanted to get out of here. Just then, Rory got up and saw something. Saw something that could save her from this nightmare.

A phone.

That guy was a complete idiot. If he was going to throw Rory into a room, it would be best to take out all objects of communication… not that she was complaining.

She quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number that was the first to come to her mind.

"Hello?" Said the person on the other end of the phone.

"Jess?"

"Rory? Is that you?"

"Yes! God, yes! I need you to come here, and fast! I'm at Dean's."

"What's wrong? Are you okay!?" Jess asked, his voice laced with concern.

"RORY!" Dean burst into the door. "I knew I was forgetting something! HANG UP THAT PHONE!"

Rory looked terrified.

"Jess! HURRY!"

And that's it. Hehe, cliffhanger!

I am SO sorry that I hadn't updated in so long! I'm really really REALLY sorry! I guess I was just procrastinating… which is a bad habit.

So what did you think? A little on this short side, but I think it's okay. Not one of my best though.
