Chapter 11: The Truth
The room seemed to go into a silent shock after Rory's last statement.
'Was she raped before?' Luke asked himself while horror was drawn across his face.
"What are you talking about I wasn't raped before" Lorelai spat out.
"Mom don't lie anymore I know" Rory said.
"You're the one lying" Lorelai said.
'Why won't she tell me the truth?' Rory thought.
'Why won't she stop lying, I've never been raped before' Lorelai thought.
"Then dad must have been lying because both him and the doctor confirmed it" Rory said.
Luke looked at Lorelai looking for any sort of reaction to that statement.
"Then they were lying because I've never been raped before the other night" Lorelai said as she started to cry.
"Lorelai…" Luke started.
"No" Lorelai said before she went upstairs.
"Should we follow her?" Jess asked.
"Rory, what the hell is going on?" Luke asked.
"I don't know" Rory said despair etched in her voice.
"Start at the beginning" Luke said.
"At the hospital the doctor told me that mom had been raped before, that's why I left so quickly" Rory said.
Luke nodded, a sickening feeling rising in his stomach.
"Then I went over to Jess's and then we went to my dad's and talked to him" Rory said.
"What did he say?" Luke asked preparing for what was coming next.
Rory looked over towards Jess.
'I can't say the whole truth, if Jess knew what I was he would hate me' Rory thought.
"He told me that mom had been raped before and that he didn't do it" Rory said.
"Could he have been lying?" Luke asked wanting to be sure.
"I don't think so, he seemed genuine" Rory said.
Luke sighed, "So if it did happen why is she denying it?" he asked.
"Maybe she really doesn't remember it" Jess suggested.
"What do you mean?" Luke asked.
"I mean maybe it was so horrific to her that her mind just blocked it out" Jess said.
"That would make sense" Rory said.
"I'm going to go and talk to her" Luke said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, she needs to calm down" Luke said.
"What are you going to say to her?" Rory asked.
"I'll know when I get up there" Luke said as he started walking up the stairs.
Luke walked slowly towards Lorelai's room and heard sobs coming from the other side.
"Can I come in?" Luke asked gently as he opened the door.
"Why would she lie about something like that?" Lorelai asked.
'I need to handle this carefully' Luke thought.
"She was just repeating what the doctor and Chris said" Luke replied.
"Still it's not true" Lorelai said.
"What if it is?" Luke asked.
Lorelai looked up at him with shocked across her face.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lorelai asked getting defensive.
"I mean what if they are telling the truth and it was so painful for you your mind just blocked it out?" Luke asked.
"It's not possible, I would remember it" Lorelai said.
"I think you should see someone" Luke said.
"I'll be fine" Lorelai said hugging her knees tighter to her chest.
"I think it would help you" Luke said.
"No" Lorelai stated firmly.
"Please do it for me" Luke begged.
Lorelai looked at him but didn't say anything.
"Maybe the doctor is wrong and Chris is lying but it would help you to see somebody, to get over the rape" Luke said choking out the last couple of words.
'I should do it' Lorelai thought.
"Fine, I'll go" Lorelai said.
"Really?" Luke asked.
"Yes, I'll go now please just leave me alone and sleep for a while" Lorelai said.
Luke nodded happy he was able to get her to admit to therapy. Luke left the room and walked back down the stairs to find Rory and Jess still there.
"So what did she say?" Rory asked.
"I think she is blocking out some memories but she agreed to go to therapy" Luke said.
"Well that's a good thing" Jess said.
"Yeah" Rory said.
"She's sleeping right now" Luke said.
"We'll get going then" Rory said.
"Hold on, I was just wondering what we're going to tell your grandparents" Luke said.
Rory sighed, 'I hadn't even thought about them' she thought.
"Just ask mom what she wants to do when she wakes up" Rory said.
Luke nodded, "I'll see you two later" he said.
They both nodded then left.
"So what aren't you telling me?" Jess asked.
"What do you mean?" Rory asked a little bit afraid.
"Rory you're keeping something from me, believe me I know you" Jess said as they got into the car.
'I should tell him, he shouldn't be in this if he doesn't want to be' Rory thought.
"Fine I'll tell you but could we talk about it back at your place?" Rory asked.
"Deal" Jess said just happy that she was willing to talk about whatever it was.
'Please let this take a while' Rory thought.
Before Rory knew what happened they were back at Jess's and she had to talk about it.
"So what is wrong with you?" Jess asked.
"I'll tell you but you have to promise not to be mad at me" Rory said.
"I promise" Jess said.
"Well my dad told me that he wasn't really my dad" Rory said.
"But then that would mean…" Jess said putting everything together for himself.
"Yeah, I'm an abomination" Rory said.
"Rory…" Jess started trying to comfort her.
"No Jess I know I am I shouldn't even be alive" Rory said.
"Yes you should be" Jess said.
"No I shouldn't, my mom was raped and I'm related to a monster" Rory said.
"Rory you shouldn't believe that" Rory said.
"Listen Jess you don't have to be nice, if you want to break up with me you want" Rory said sadly.
"Rory I don't want to break up with you" Jess said.
"But…I'm…rape…child" Rory said confused at why Jess still wanted to be with her.
"Rory that doesn't matter, I love you" Jess said.
Rory just nodded not sure if she really believed him.
"Rory none of that matters, what happened to your mom wasn't your fault, Max wasn't your fault, do you understand that?" Jess asked.
Rory broke down and started crying in to Jess's chest.
"I'm not going anywhere" Jess said to Rory in a soothing voice.
'I hope he's telling the truth' Rory thought.
