Summary: From Teach Me Tonight (2.19) the car accident. It resulted in the death of someone we all know and love. And the person left behind doesn't know what to do.


"I can go straight and we'll be back in town at Luke's, or," I smile at Rory. "We could turn right and just be driving aimlessly in circles for hours."

"Turn right." she says. I turn right, and from nowhere, something is in the road. I swerve, Rory screams, and all is black. I wake up later, in a hospital room. Luke is there, and a police officer. Luke looks like he is about to kill me.

"What's going on?" I manage to say.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in the court of law," the police officer reads me the Miranda rights. What is going on? Then I remember--the car accident. Rory's scream. This has something to do with Rory, but what? What happened?

"The way this is going to work, Jesse," the officer says, "Is that you will be under arrest while you recover, and the second you are released you go to trial."

"What's the charge?" I ask, still confused.

"Vehicular homicide in the death of Lorelai Leigh Gilmore." My stomach drops, and I feel like I'm going to vomit. The officer chains my hand without the IV in it to the bedrail and leaves. "I'm going to go tell my partner you're awake; we have to guard you."

The second the door closes, Luke is practically at my throat. "What happened, Jess?" he demands. "Do you have a death wish?"

"I do now." I say honestly.

"You got Rory killed, Jess! Rory is dead! No Omega-13, Jess. They're trying you as an adult due to your juvenile record in New York. And Lorelai is pressing charges, but if she didn't, the state would." Luke's words sink in and I do vomit. Rory's dead. The words can't be true, and yet they are. Those horrible words are true. Rory's dead.


Okay, please don't hate me!!!!
