Sorry for the wait, I had major writers block.

The Ever-changing Life of Lorelai
Chapter 3: alleyway
Lorelai is walking down the street dressed in a casual outfit good for walking around town, on her way to Luke's diner, when she sees Rory walking into the market. 'This is something I really don't feel like dealing with today' Lorelai thought to herself 'I guess I'll have to go around, like what I did with Rory when she didn't want to see Dean.' Lorelai goes around, but when she is halfway there she hears something moving under some boxes and old newspapers.'must be a cat' Lorelai thinks until she sees a familiar bag. She walks over to is, while tripping over a few boxes and picks it up.
"Hey, shoo, that's my bag...oh...you..um...I can explain..I um..."
"Alexa...what are you doing here..."
"Well I was just about to ask you the same thing."
"Well I didn't feel like dealing with a certain relative of mine...you don't live here do you?" Lorelai sees something that looks like a bed made out of newspapers while peaking into the hole Alexa came out of.
"Um...no...I was..um...looking for something...yeah..I was looking for y..um...cat." Alexa digs through some boxes"here kitty kitty, here..."
"Why didn't you tell me that you are homeless, does anyone else live here...?" Lorelai looks into Alexa's trying to find truth.
"No, I'm...alone...um..I got to go...bye." Alexa storms off without a second glance. Lorelai realizes that Alexa forgot her bag and picked it up. She continued her trip to Luke's diner.
Later at Lorelai's house
Lorelai looks at the bag wondering if she should look inside it or not, but finally decides to take a peek, just to find out why it is so heavy. She unzips it until it is open and the first thing that catches her eye is something shiny, a knife, not just that but also a black belt with Chinese designs on it, and a black robe with a white wolf on it. The bag also contained one pair of jeans, a torn t-shirt, girl stuff, and a locked box. Lorelai tried to get the box open, but couldn't and also couldn't find any key.
After Lorelai put all Alexa's stuff away, the way it was before, the doorbell rings.
Come in, door's unlocked!" Lorelai yells.
"Um...you.. Did I leave my bag..."
"Here," Lorelai gives points to the bag on the chair opposite of her.
"Um thanks...did you open this...you did...why?"
"How..I mean, I was just seeing if there was a return address or something, but..."
Alexa is fast to respond "The knife is for self defense, I got a black belt at karate camp, and I have pictures of my real mother in the box."
"So you don't have a mother...or a family...or a home..."
"You got it, now can I go...I got to find a new city to live in..." Lorelai stops her and motions her to sit down. Alexa sits next to Lorelai.
"Stay here.." Lorelai seems lost for words.
."What..no.." Alexa is shocked at the comment. Even though she somehow wants to, she knows that she is not going to be welcome for long, the social services will be back for her and so will her last family.
"I have an extra room, and well you can stay here as long as you want, but I would like some answers"
"Well..I have no better idea so sure." Alexa hopes that she really can trust Lorelai.
"Good, well the room is over there, the bathroom is over here, and if you want to read, the room is filled with books. Now which movie would you like to watch.."
"What?" Alexa is confused.
"You know Chinese food till you stomach hurts and a movie...I'll pick the movie, let me just call for the food." Lorelai picks up the phone, but not before seeing the confused expression on Alexa's face.
"The Chinese food place...delivers?"
"Yup, let me just order" Lorelai ordered almost everything on the Chinese menu and picked out the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Chinese food came and Alexa and Lorelai sat down for a movie.
"This is a lot of food.." Alexa looks at the spread in front of her.
"Yup, all you can eat...whatever is not eaten goes in the refrigerator for another day.
"So...lets see before we start the movie, why doesn't social services give you a place to live.." Lorelai looks at Alexa hoping for a straight answer.
"Well, I know you want a straight answer, and you deserve it for letting me stay so..well..I had a foster home, but I ran away, well actually, it was my 31st foster home. I was abused in 10 of them, ran away from 5 of them, kicked out of the rest. My last home was an abusive one, but normally, I run away, someone like you finds me, they call social services, and I end up either going to a new foster home or back to my old one, which in this case would be my end if I end up going back...so please..."
"I'll foster you...but thank you for being so...open to me. Well on a happier note, lets start the movie.
The two of them watched the movie and then retired to their bedrooms, Alexa wondering why she was so open and Lorelai wondering why Alexa was so open.
