Lorelai didn't sleep well. She waited till everyone was gone and she got up. She went to get herself some coffee. There was a note left for her on the coffee can.

'Remember you are very loved and wanted. You are safe in this home.' – Dad

Lorelai threw the sticky note in the garbage and made her coffee. She sat and drank it. She had been very triggered the night before and she wasn't okay. The last time she felt like this was the last time she was in her hometown for the tear down. And she was having ideas that she knew were bad. She wanted to drink.

She thought one drink…She was in her own home… It wasn't illegal at home, only in public. She went to her dad's liquor cabinet, but it was locked. She didn't know he locked it… She was annoyed. She went and got dressed. She grabbed her bag, phone and keys and headed out. She drove to a bar. She had gotten a new fake ID about three months after her other one was taken. She hadn't gone and drank since, but she needed a drink today and she saw no other option.

She went to a local bar and sat at the bar. The bartender raised an eyebrow. This girl was not twenty-one. He went over to her. "Do you have ID?" He asked her

Lorelai showed him the ID. It said she was twenty-one and looked real, so he figured she just was young looking. "What can I get you?" He asked

"Beer whatever is on tap." She said. The guy could tell she was not okay. He got her a beer and told her how much. Lorelai paid and took a sip of the beer. "Thanks." She said

The bartender nodded. "I have been doing this a long time. I can tell you might be going through something. You want to talk?" He said

Lorelai chuckled. "Cheep therapist huh?" He said

The bartender chuckled. "Not the first time I have heard that."

"Nah. I just needed a drink." She said

The bartender nodded.

Will walked into the bar with his partner they had just finished a double shift and agreed to get a drink before they went home. They went up to the bar and ordered their drinks.

Lorelai heard his voice and recognized the accent. 'Are you kidding me?' She thought she tried to turn away from them so Will would not see and recognize her.

Will saw something out of the corner of his eye and looked over. Her back was to him, but he recognized her. Instantly.

"Lorelai?" he asked

Lorelai didn't move. She hoped maybe he would think it wasn't her if she didn't react.

"I know its you." He said. "You can ignore me, but I still know its you." He added

He turned to the bartender. "Has she drank here before? Did you ID her?" He asked

The bartender looked confused, and he realized his gut was right. "Nope never drank here before. Yes I ID'd her. I need to trust my gut more." He said.

"Lorelai. Turn around and give me the ID." He said putting his hand out.

Lorelai slowly turn around and took out the ID. She handed it to Will, and he looked at it.

Will looked at the bartender. "She is eighteen. Don't serve her if she comes in again." He told them.

The bartender apologized to Will and took away her half drank beer.

Will looked at his partner. "Sorry I have to get her home."

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "I have my own car. I can drive myself home."

"Really? Underage drinking and driving while under the influence?" he asked

"I had half a beer!" She said

Will got up. Are you going to come, or do I have to call your father?" he asked

Lorelai went with him. He led her to his cop car.

"Really? I am not getting in the back of that car." She said

Will grabbed the breathalyser. "I want you to see how much half a beer can affect someone's alcohol level."

Lorelai rolled her eyes again. "Oh, fuck off." she said

Will opened the back of the car. "Get. In."

"No. I will not." She said

"Why the hell not?" Will asked

"I don't do cop cars…" She said

"Why?" He asked

"Because I just don't." She said in tears

Will knew a bit about her past. He knew there was trauma and issues with the police. "Okay. Would the front be better?" He asked

She shrugged.

"What is going on? Why are you even here drinking?" He asked

"Because I felt like it." She said

"The last time I found you drinking there was a lot going on. Have you had a drink again between than and now?" He asked

"No." She said

"So, what happened?" he asked

"It's a long story." She replied

"I've got time." He said he grabbed a bottle of water from his trunk and gave it to her.

Lorelai sighed and again found herself telling him things she has never told anyone else. Telling him everything that had happened the night before and about why it had triggered her and such. She drank the water.

Will listened to the girl he could feel for her. It was a crappy situation. When she was done he looked at her. "I understand that had to be hard. But you are not allowed to drink, and you need to stop with the fake ID's" he said

"I know…I don't know what else to do." She said

"Talk to someone. I mean you have Spencer or JJ would listen if you can't talk to your dad that is." He told her.

She nodded. "You're going to make me tell him aren't you?"

"Mhm." Will said

"Please Will. He is already dealing with Jack's acting out he's going to be so pissed." She begged

"Lorelai. You know I cant keep this from another father." He said

"I'll babysit Henry and Kelsey anytime free of charge." She said

Will chuckled. "Tempting but no. If you do not tell him I will." He told her

"How long do I have to tell him?" She asked

"Lorelai. Don't put it off. Tonight." He said

"Fine. Are you going to make me get in this car?" She asked

"I know it is a trigger. I cant let you drive. How about you take a cab? I will cover the cost." He said

Lorelai sighed. "I'll take a cab I have the money."

"Okay." He agreed.

She called a cab and went home.

Will went back inside to his partner to have that drink.
