Chapter four

~*~

Lorelei stopped crying around 9:15.  She was very angry with herself, and mad that Chris just left like that.  What was she going to do without Rory?  Lorelei finally came to the conclusion that she could get pregnant with Rory one day later.  What will that hurt?  She'll just have a different birthday, that's all.  Yep, that's what she'll do.

Lorelei was getting bored, so she decided to drive somewhere, anywhere.  She snuck out of the house around 9:45, that way she could use Emily's car.  Emily got home at 9:30.  Luckily she was so tired from the meeting that she went straight to bed, and so did Richard.  As Lorelei was driving she found herself in a very familiar place.  Stars Hollow.  She drove all the way to Stars Hollow.  She needed coffee bad, so she decided to go to Luke's.  As she was driving there she looked at the town.  It all looked so different.  'I wonder if Taylor is still the same way, and Miss Patty!'  she thought as she parked her car in front of Luke's.  It looked a lot different.  It wasn't as clean or anything.  Hoping they were still open she walked up to the door.  Few, still open.  She walked in and saw a boy cleaning the counter.  He looked very familiar-

"Luke!  Oh my gosh!  Is it really you?  I am soo bugging you about this when I get back to the future-don't ask about that part.  I can't believe its you!  Your not wearing flannel!  Whoa!  That looks like a shirt Jess would wear.  Gonna bug ya bout that too!"  Lorelei ran over and gave Luke a big hug.  Luke thinking that this girl was definitely out of her mind, was about to call the cops.

"Umm, excuse me, but…  who are you?"  Luke asked pulling away from her hug.

"Oh, sorry.  I forgot you haven't met me yet.  I'm Lorelei.  In the future I become your bestest friend-"

"Bestest isn't a word."

"It is now.  Now anyway, you always supply me with coffee, food, and fix stuff for me.  And in return I always look pretty for you.  Oh yeah, don't ask questions.  Just believe me."

"Ok.  Now tell me.  How do you really know my name?"

"I said don't ask questions, but anyway, I just told you.  Oh yeah, you supply Rory with everything too.  Rory is my daughter.  I was supposed to get pregnant with her tonight, but my boyfriend left me cause I accidentally slipped and told him about me getting pregnant.  By the way, I'm sixteen, and I'm pretty sure your seventeen.  You never really tell anyone how old you are."

"You talk a lot."

"You'll get used to it, well you don't really.  You just understand that I can't help it.  It is a natural Gilmore trait.  Yep.  Oh, and my name is Lorelei, Lorelei Gilmore."

"Okay.  I understand that you are a complete freak, but I'm going to pretend you just got out of brain surgery and they had problems with the surgery."  Luke said.  He thought she was a lunatic, but somehow he felt like he knew her, like she was telling the truth.  He actually liked her a lot, but that was stupid of him to think.  He just met her, but something about her was just, he didn't know the word, but there was something about her that amazed him.

"Well.  I would like some coffee."

"Okay, but all my stuff isn't that good.  My dad just pasted away a month ago, and I just opened the diner.  It used to be a-"

"Diner." Lorelei said finishing his sentence.

"How did you know?  Have you ever been here before?"

"Did you hear anything I've said?  Of coarse I've been here before.  In the future. Dah."

"Oh yeah.  How silly of me to forget." Luke said sarcastically.

"Very." Lorelei smiled.  He was very cute.  To bad she didn't go out with him when she moved to Stars Hollow.

"Hey umm.  All the coffee is up in my apartment.  I put it up there so I'd have some in the morning when I woke up.  Wanna come with me to get it?" he said shyly.

"Sure"  She said as she went up the stairs.  Luke went up after her.

"How did you know my apartment was up here?" he asked.

"Because I've gone up here a thousand times!"  Lorelei said like Luke was the most stupidest person on earth.

"Oh. My bad.  Are we umm, going out in your so called future?" he asked hopingly.

"Oh, no." Lorelei said quietly with a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Oh," Luke said wearily.  They stood in silence outside the apartment door.  Finally Luke opened the door to let Lorelei in.

"So where do you live now?" asked Luke.

"I live in Hartfort.  I really miss living here though.  I can't stand my parents."

"Oh.  So uh.  This may be a stupid question to ask, but, do you want to tell me everything that's happened to you?  You know.  So I won't be so confused about everything you say.  You can even tell me about what I'm like in the future."

"You mean you actually believe me?"

"Well, I guess.  I don't really know what to believe.  You seem like your telling the truth, but it seems impossible.  Something is telling me to believe you, so I guess I'll believe you."

" Thanks.  Its good to have someone to talk to."  Lorelei told Luke everything, everything she could remember.  Around 11:00 when she was done talking, and done with her third cup of coffee, she got up and headed to the door.

"Thanks for listening Luke.  It meant a lot to me.  I really needed to tell someone everything."

"Oh, it's no problem.  I can't believe I'm such a grump in the future."

"You aren't that bad.  We all love you."

"You love me?" Luke said stepping closer to Lorelei.

"Well yea.  I guess, as a friend of coarse." Lorelei said getting nervous.

"Oh yea, as a friend." Luke said disappointed.

"We wouldn't have to be just friends you know.  All you have to do is ask me out."  'Did I just say that?  I did!'

"Well, ok.  I'll keep that in mind"  Luke said pulling Lorelei closer to him and leaning down to kiss her.  His lips brushed against hers, sending goose bumps down her spine.  She leaned in closer kissing him.  It felt so good.  She was kissing Luke.  A sixteen year old Luke- how strange was that?  Finally she pulled apart from him.

"Wow."  He said.

"Yeah, wow.  I'm sorry Luke, but I can't be your girlfriend until we are older.  I have to have Rory.  As I told you, I can't live without her."

"Oh, yeah.  I understand.  I guess you should go now.  I promise I'll ask you out in the future though."

"Okay.  Thanks for understanding.  Bye Luke."

"Bye Lorelei," he said quietly as he watched her leave.  How could he have not asked her out in the future?  He must turn into an idiot.

Lorelei got into her car and decided to drive one other place before she went home.  She was still in shock about the kiss by the time she got to her old\present house.  She got out of her car and walked over to it.  It looked a lot newer.  She wished desperately that she could go inside and watch a movie with Rory, but she couldn't.  She started to cry, thinking that she may never get back to her normal life.  She felt alone and scared.  Everything was happening so quickly, and not quickly enough.  She needed someone to hold her, to comfort her, but the only person who new the real story was Luke, and she knew that she couldn't get to attached to him.  What if Chris found out about him?  Then he would break up with her and she would never have Rory.  She could never live without Rory.
