Chapter Three
~*~
"Richard, I'm going to the club for the mothers at Lorelei's school. They are supposed to have dinner there so you and Lorelei can eat with out me."
"Ok, Emily. Drive safe. Bye."
"Bye, Richard." Emily Gilmore walked out of her house at 6:00 P.M. Lorelei was upstairs in her room doing homework- which her mother had spent almost half an hour to get her to do.
'Ugh. Homework. I forgot how much I hate it. Poor Rory does twice as much as I do, or did. I'm confusing myself again. Crazy me. I wish I could go home. Rory is all by herself- oh no. She better not be hanging out with Jess. I'm still not to fond of him. I REALLY NEED TO GET HOME!'
"Heck with homework! I'm not finishing school anyway so why bother?" Lorelei asked aloud to herself as she threw her book down with a thump.
"Are you ok Lorelei? Did something fall?" Richard called from downstairs.
"I'm fine dad. Umm, I just tripped." Lorelei lied. 'Gosh, did I always have such an annoying voice? I must get it from my mom-that was mean of me to say, but I didn't say it. I thought it, and everyone knows that you can't control your own thoughts. It's impossible. I mean, you'll think something and not mean to think it and……'
While Lorelei was lost in her thoughts thinking about thoughts Chris was lost in his thoughts staring at Lorelei through her window. 'God she's beautiful- and she's mine. I must be the luckiest man in the world. If we were older than I'd probably ask her to marry me. Oh God, I hope we don't break up. I really love her, but I need to admit it to her. How long am I going to hide it from her?' Chris really did love Lorelei. She was the reason he got up every morning, the reason he lived. He's just to afraid to tell her he loves her, and her not say it back. It would break his heart in two. They had known each other most of their lives. He had loved her ever since he sat eyes on her, and today he was going to tell her, on their 1 year anniversary. He wondered if she were thinking the same things as him at this very moment.
'So I have just proved to myself that it is impossible to control my thoughts. I mean, if I could control them then I probably wouldn't be thinking all of this right now. Yep, I'm proud of myself. I have probably just figured out something that scientists all over the world have been trying to figure out for years. I'm so smart.' Lorelei was pulled back into realization when she heard a knock coming from the window by her balcony. 'Chris. Oh God. What am I supposed to do? If I want to have Rory then I need to get back together with him, but it's going to be too painful. He has a baby with Sherry in the future and I have Rory, and I won't be able to get back together with him in the future no matter what, so I don't want to fall in love with him again.'
"Tap, Tap. Lorelei! Do you know what day it is?" Chris called from the other side of the window.
"Oh hey Chris! Didn't see you there." Lorelei lied as she walked over to open her window.
"No problem." Chris said as he climbed through the window. He pulled Lorelei close to him and gave her a long kiss on the lips. 'I can sure see why I fell in love with him. He kisses so good.' Lorelei thought as she kissed him back. Finally she pulled back from him, remembering what he asked earlier.
"Umm, so you going to tell me what today is?" Lorelei asked eagerly.
"Why I'm upset, Lorelei. How could you not know what today is?" He asked playfully.
"Well, I know today is Saturday, but I don't think that's why it's so special."
"You're right. That's not why it's special. It's special because it is our one year anniversary." He said, slightly disappointed she forgot.
"Oh, no." Lorelei said as her face turned white and she started to panic. "Today can't be our one year anniversary, it just can't be!" she said running around her room. A confused Christopher decided that it must be that she felt bad for forgetting.
"It's ok you forgot. I don't mind, really." He said trying to calm her down.
"No, no. It's not that. You don't understand. I'm going to get pregnant with Rory tonight! This is happening WAY to fast!" she said still pacing around her room.
"Umm, excuse me? What did you just say?"
"Uh oh. I shouldn't have told you that. You didn't here anything I said!"
"Lorelei, I think I need to go. You say crazy things, but nothing like this. This is serious and you shouldn't joke around like that. I'll see you tomorrow, after you've calmed down." And with that Chris was gone. Now Lorelei spilled the beans about her getting pregnant, making Chris nervous, which made him leave so she won't see him again until tomorrow, which means she doesn't get pregnant which means no Rory.
"No Rory." Lorelei said softly to herself as she cried quietly. She screwed things up big this time. How was she ever going to live without Rory?
