Chilton's Not Ready For Magdalene (Part 4)
Lorelai parked her jeep in front of the diner. She walked up to the window and tapped on it. Luke looked up and smiled. She waved to him and then made her way to the back where Luke told her Abigail was. She saw Abigail sitting on the hood of the old pick-up truck. Her hair was dripping wet, her shirt clung to her as if it would never let go. As she walked closer, Abigail looked up. She looked shocked to see Lorelai, she turned her head away from Lorelai wiped her eyes, then turned back. Lorelai could see the bloodshot eyes and the black lines from her mascara running down Abigail's face.
"I don't want to talk," Abigail said to Lorelai.
Lorelai hopped up next to Abigail on the hood.
"Good, I wasn't sure." Abigail looked at her. "It's such a nice day. Don't ya think?" Abigail looked at Lorelai.
"It's pouring."
"Oh really?! I haven't even noticed." Lorelai said trying to act surprised.
"Have you ever wished you were someone different?" Abigail asked her.
"excuse me?" Lorelai asked her not to sure of the question.
"Have you ever wished you were someone different?" she repeated.
"Of course, I always wanted to be a Bangle, ya know like playing up on stage and everything."
"No, not like that. I mean have you ever wish that you could be someone. Like have there life."
"Yeah when I was younger I did, of course living with my mother will do that to you."
"I wish that everyday of my life." Abigail said looking at the ground.
"Oh Abby."
"Please don't pitty me."
"I don't pitty you! Who do you wish you were though?"
"Rory." She said simply.
"Rory? My Rory?"
"Yeah."
"why?"
Abigail jumped off the hood and started to walk around. "Because she has you and she a awesome best friend, and boyfriend, and grades and she actually wanted to do something with her life and she has people who care and would do anything to help her. I don't have that. Well, I mean I have that now from you and Rory and Luke and Lane and Tristan. But sometimes, I think you guys are the only ones who care about me, and I don't want to lose that!"
"Aw sweetie come here," she hugged Abigail, "Hun, you can stay here as long you like, you're always welcome here and—"
"But I can't! My mom said she wants me to go to Paris with her and Lou."
"Aw well that's nice."
"No, it's not! She doesn't really want me there. She doesn't like the fact that I'm actually having a good time here. And I actually have a real boyfriend here and real friends who wouldn't set me up and get me raped and she hates that people actually like me!"
"Wait back the happy train up, you were raped?"
"What? No, I didn't say that."
"Yes you did. Abigail you have to tell me."
"No, I must have said it by accident. There's nothing to tell. Really."
"Abigail!"
"Lorelai!" Lorelai just looked at her.
"Really you can tell me."
"I would it if there was something to tell, but there's not."
"Well, I'll call your mom tonight and—"
"Why are you calling my mom?"
"To talk to her about you staying here."
"You don't have to do that."
"I know, I want too. We all love you here. And Luke is so happy you're here, you were always like his daughter."
"Right Luke is happy I'm back," Abigail said, glad that she got Lorelai off the rape subject, no need to bring up old news.
"I'm not even joking! He told me the other day."
They both started laughing.
"I'm ready to go home now," Abigail said.
"Good! Me too! It's cold!"
Abigail smiled, "thanks Lorelai."
"Anytime." She hugged her.
They walked to the car. Luke came out with a blanket.
"Here, I thought you could use this." He handed it to Abigail.
He hugged him, "thanks Luke!" He hugged her back.
"sure, ya know." He said.
Lorelai smiled at the two of them. "Alright come on I have 3 hungry mouths at home I have to feed."
"I'll see you guys later," Luke said to them.
"Bye Lukey!" Abigail smiled.
Abigail and Lorelai got in the car and drove home.

The front door slammed shut. "Did you guys here that?" Rory's eyes were wide open as she heard footsteps. "Abigail!" she jumped out of her seat and ran over to her and hugged her. "I'm so glad that your alright!"
"Thanks Ror," Abigail said. Rory let go. Tristan came up and wrapped his arms around Abigail she burred her head in his chest and breathed in deeply. "Are we alright?" He whispered into her ear.
She shook her head yes. He pulled her closer. "Are you alright?" he said even softer.
"I'm getting there." She smiled up at him. He kissed the top of her head.
"So my little ducklings what shall we have for dinner?" Lorelai asked rubbing her hands together. Just then the doorbell rung. Lorelai looked around the room.
"What are you doing?" Abigail asked, still hugging Tristan.
"Counting."
"Well I have four kittens here so who could be at the door?"
"Hello?" Everyone turned and looked at the hallway.
"Hello." They all shouted back. Abigail walked towards the door.
"What are you doing?" Tristan asked pulling her back.
"It's alright, it's Luke."
"How do you know?"
"Just watch," she said. "Luke in the kitchen."
"Hey guys," Luke appeared in the doorway of the kitchen holding two bags in his hands. "I figured you guys would, um, be hungry."
"Told ya," she smiled up to Tristan.
"Your just so smart!"
"Well, I'd like to thank the academy, and the little people that I had to step on to get here." Everyone started laughing. "Let's eat!" Abigail gabbed a bag out of Luke's hand and looked in it as she made her way to the table. "Mmm. Mmm. Mmm."
"Hey Luke can I see you in the other room for a minute?" Lorelai asked smiling at him.
"Um… Yeah," He said and followed her into the other room.
Rory and Abigail looked at each other, smiled, and burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Tristan asked.
"Oh nothing," Abigail said with a smirk on her face towards Rory.
"Sometimes I wonder about you." He said to Abigail.
"Oh really? Is that right?" Abigail said. "Hm… Well, that's fine." She turn so her back was facing him in his seat flipped her hair dramatically and started to walked away.
"Hey, little girl when do you think your going?" He asked grabbing her by the waist and pulling her onto his lap.
"I was going to sit somewhere else." She said tryin not to smile.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really."
"Well what would you do if I did this?" he started tickling her. Abigail was wiggling around and screeching and screaming. Everyone was laughing.
"Rory help me!" Abigail managed to scream between laughs.
"OH, I'll help you alright!" Rory got up and walked over to where Tristan and Abigail were and started tickling her too.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Abigail screeched laughing.
"What's goin on in here?" Lorelai asked as she and Luke walked into the kitchen.
"Oh nothing," Rory said.
"Well in that case…" Lorelai ran over to Abigail's feet pulled off her shoes and started tickling her feet.
"Guys! OMG!" Abigail said between breaths.
"Sick isn't it." Luke said to Dean. Dean just laughed.
"Guys. I. Can't. Feel. My. Stomach. Anymore!" Abigail chocked out.
"All right, that's enough." Luke said as he walked over and pulled Lorelai away from Abigail. Dean got Rory. And they each got one of Tristan's arms. "Run Ab!" Luke said. Abigail jumped out of Tristan's lap and ran to the other side of the table.
"We'll get you my pretty!" Lorelei screamed, still in Luke's grasp.
"No, playtimes over."
"Party Pooper," Lorelei said to him.
"Um… Hmm…" Luke said.
Abigail sat there catching her breath. "Thanks Luke."
"Don't mention it." He said.
Luke and Dean let go of Lorelei, Rory, and Tristan.
"OK so I'm really hungry now," Lorelei said.
Everyone laughed.
"Yes, lets EAT!" Abigail said smiling.
Lorelai parked her jeep in front of the diner. She walked up to the window and tapped on it. Luke looked up and smiled.
