Okay, so this chapter probably sucks and I know that its really short but I have to have it all set up for the actual story to start. Each chapter title will be named after a song and this one is of course a Panic! At the Disco Song. Well..please review and don't be afraid to tell me what you really think of the story so far. Oh, batman if your reading this..sorry that I didn't send it to you to read first but I'll send the next chapters to you to read once I write them.
Disclaimer: I don't know why I have to say this over and over..but sadly I don't own Gilmore Girls..or Jess and Luke..as much as I really really want to. All I own is this laptop and the ice cream I'm eating right now. So don't sue me..unless you want a dollar..which is all I have right now. I'm just a freshman so..yeah.
A Friend, Nothing More
Chapter One: Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
As she walked downstairs she wondered how she had let everything get screwed up once again. Inside she knew how but she didn't want to admit it. She knew that it was a mistake letting Christopher back into their lives but she couldn't help it...he was her first love, he was her daughter's father, he was the guy that her parents thought that she belonged with. Lorelai was never one to listen to what her parents told her to do especially concerning Rory and her love life but they had said that her and Christopher were meant to be together so many times that she always gave him chance after chance, even after he hurt her over and over again. When she found out she was pregnant she was determined to make it on her own and she did make it for over sixteen years without him but then he showed up again..and wound up hurting not only her this time but Rory too. That is something that she never wanted to happen but he never stays like he says he will..he always leaves leaving both of the Gilmore girls hurt and wondering why he doesn't want to stay with them this time. Christopher Hayden has never been dependable or someone that they can count on.
Lorelai walked into the kitchen and looked into Rory's room only to find her studying like usual.
"I'm going to Luke's. Do you want to come?" Lorelai asked even though she knew the answer.
"No, I'm studying. Bring me back some coffee though."
She shrugged to herself and headed to the diner to get her daily dose of coffee.
As she walked across the town square she looked around town she noticed that everyone seemed to be with someone else. Even Ms. Patty had a new guy and boy did she feel sorry for him. Lorelai looked up into the diner windows and noticed Luke in the usual attire, flannel and a baseball cap. But there seemed to be something different about him. It wasn't that he was smiling or anything..there was just something that sparked Lorelai's attention, but she had no clue what it was. Lorelai ignored the feeling and went into the diner to get her coffee and to get away from all of the "love" in Stars Hollow.
"God, what is with everyone in this town all of a sudden being a fan of PDA's?" Lorelai asked to no one in particular as she was walking into the diner.
"Bad day?"
"Don't go there." Wow..he is really hot. No! You can't think that, he is your friend and nothing more. Lorelai continued fighting with herself inside her mind until Luke so kindly interuppted her.
"Coffee?"
"Do you have to ask?"
"Right." Lorelai is gorgeous..and those pants are really working for her. Stop it Danes! She is your friend and nothing more.Luke continued his daily thoughts about Lorelai as he poured her a cup of coffee without so much as a "coffee will kill you".
"Wow, whats with you today?" Okay, I know he usually gives one word answers but he didn't even give me a lecture on my coffee drinking habits.
"Nothing."
unbelieving "Right.." Lorelai stops waiting for a rant to start. Boy did she love Luke's rants.
"Those festivals are so stupid, especially this one because it celebrates something that supposedly happened and they can't even agree how this stupid town was founded. Its just based on a stupid story that changes every year. Why can't they celebrate something that actually happened? And don't even get me started on the bon fire because during it, after they spend like twenty minutes finding a match to light it with, everyone is just making out. Why don't they just get a damn room already?" Luke sighs and is afraid of what Lorelai will say.
"You read my mind. How about we just skip this festival all together this year?"
"What?"
"Why don't you come over for a movie night tomorrow night so that you don't have to sit here watching everyone make out?"
"Uh..I donno..I have to run the diner.."
"The diner will be deserted anyways because of the festival. Please? Rory will be with Jess at the festival and I don't have Friday Night Dinner because they will be at some function and I don't want to stay at home alone right now."
Luke sighs as he realizes that she won't give up. "Fine. But I'm not eating a bunch of junk food."
"Great, its a date."
" A date?"
"What?"
"You said its a date."
"Oh..I didn't mean it that way..I meant that we..uh..I have to go."
And with that she left the diner embarrassed at her slip up. Great..if I keep going like that I should just admit that I like him..even when I know that he doesn't feel the same way. Gah!
