Later that night there's a knock on the door and David answers it.
''hey Luke come on in.'' David says and let's him in
''thanks.'' he says and makes his way in
Clair comes into the room ''Hi.'' she says
''hey how she doing?'' he asks her
''come on.'' she says and takes him upstairs she knock's on Rory's door.
''NO GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY!' she's fighting herself thinking it's Jess at the door
Clair opens the door ''OH sweetie it's just us baby.'' Clair tell's her
''NO GO AWAY!'' Rory says and hides under the blankets scared.
''Oh no PTSD!'' Luke says
''what... what's that?'' Clair asks him
''she's showing signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.'' he tell's her
Rory screams.
David rushes upstairs and into her room.
They all try and hold Rory down and try to stop her from hurting herself.
Clair tries to calm Rory down ''Rory hunnie it's ok it's just us he's not here sweetie!'' she hold's Rory and tells Luke and David to leave the room because it's making Rory stress out more because she's having flashbacks of when Jess grabbed her and forced her into his car.
''NO JESS LET GO OF ME!'' Rory screams
Clair soothes Rory and notices Rory's body finally calms down after they leave.
Rory slowly opens her eyes.
''hey you ok? she asks her softly
''hey.. yea I guess I should probably appoligize to dad and David.'' Rory tell's her
''shh hunnie not right now you need to lay down and relax now try and go to sleep ok I love you.'' Clair says and kisses Rory and walks to the door and says ''sleep well hun.'' then shut's the door and makes her way downstairs.
''hey she ok?'' David asks her
''no but she will be I finally got her to sleep and ugh I'm exhausted.'' she says in a exhausted tone
''yea you look it do you want to lay down for a while?'' David asks her

''ok I'm gonna go you'll call me if she needs me?'' Luke asks them
''ok I will thanks hun.'' Clair says
'' hey thanks for coming over Luke.'' David tell's him

''Hi is Richard or Emily Gilmore there please?'' she asks the Maid
''1 minute please.''the maid says and brings the phone to Richard
''Rchard Gilmore...'' Richard says
''Hi dad can I talk to you and mom for a second privately on speaker phone?'' she asks him

Emily comes into his office and shuts the door.
''it's Clair she needs to tell us something.'' Richard tell's her
''Hello Clair.'' Emily says
''go ahead Clair we're both here and listening.'' Richard tell's her
''ok well I don't know what you heard or saw today but Rory was taken on a joyride by her angry ex-boyfriend Jess but everything turned out ok and she was brought to safety and he was taken into custody.'' she tell's them
''Oh dear god where is she? How did this happen? Who is this Jess you talking about?'' he asks her
''Luke's nephew she's fine dad she's safe and upstairs asleep...she was taken to the hospital to get checked out and everything was negative Jess basically forced her in his car when she was waiting for the bus to go to school in Stars Hollow this morning.'' she tell's him
''what was she doing in Stars Hollow alone?'' Richard asks her
''having breakfast at her dad's.'' Clair tell's him
''this whole thing started when I walked past her first period class and noticed that she wasen't there so right away I knew something was wrong because I know she just wouldn't take off and skip school like that so I panicked and started calling evryone then we saw it on the news like an hour later when they were tracking Jess it was a high speed chase through NYC and when it finally ended I was so relieved to see Rory get out of the car and walk with the police officer to safety so I should probably go Rory's probably going to be waking up soon and I want to be there in case she does so I'm going to have to hang up now goodbye.'' she says and hangs up
Clair to David ''ok I think I'm going to go and lie down now.'' she tell's him and goes upstairs and falls asleep
David comes up to lay with her and he also falls asleep
In the middle of the night there's a scream.

''Rory baby wake up!'' she shakes her awake
Rory's eyes open immediately.
