Luke walked off after ten minutes, and I went and had a shower and went to
bed. I couldn't really sleep that night, and I soon figured out why it was
only 8.00. I got up and started on my essay that I had to write.
Headmaster Medina, there were many things I could have done other then start a war against Tristan Dugrey. I was just so mad that he spread a rumour that I had slept with him. If I could I would change the way I expressed my outrage towards him, like hit my head on a rock or hit a locker, but I guess know everything is out in the open.
I couldn't think of anything else to write, I had said everything. I told him I thought the way I did things was wrong what else could I have said? I then revised my notes, and did normal homework things. It wasn't really that bad writing the essay.
Later that night at 8.00 Lorelai came in, I didn't feel like talking to her or any one else for that matter, I just wanted to lie on my bed and think about nothing.
'Lorelai the Fourth we need to talk,' said Lorelai not bothering to knock.
'Don't bother knocking Lorelai,' I said, 'but if it is important come in.'
She went and sat down beside me on my bed. 'I don't know how hard it is for you, and I'm not going to pretend that I do. I know you must be going through a lot at the moment. But why did you run away like that? Everyone was so scared, we thought that you might do a Parker on us and turn bad.'
'Just cause she is my twin doesn't mean I'm going to turn in to her. I didn't run away, I needed time to think about things, it is hard for me Lorelai. I mean my mum just got pregnant and if it turns out anything like its father than it will have an IQ of about 20 if it is lucky and then on top of that you and mum get called sleazes but the player in the school,' I said upset with anger. 'Could you blame me for getting expelled.'
'Your right let me at the Tristan, I knew they were trouble from the beginning,' said Lorelai with happiness.
'You don't mind being called those names?' I asked shocked.
'Yes I do but its only a guy who would be terrified of me if I ever came across him,' she said with a smile.
'Lorelai I'm scared of you, not just now but every single minute of my life, you have a voice that can cut' I said. 'Nearly every one is scared of you, but Marc is to dumb to be scared at all!'
'So you think Marc is that dumb?' she asked.
'Yes a 5 year old is smarter than him!' I said frustrated.
'But how can he be a Harvard graduate?' she asked shocked.
'He could have paid he's way through,' I suggested laughing.
'He would have needed a lot of money to pay his way through then.'
'He is a millionaire Lorelai I think he has enough money to feed three 3rd world countries,' I said angry.
'That is a very good point. I'm glad I'm related to you and that man. Are you mad at your mother for what she did?' asked Lorelai.
'No just disappointed, I guess I always thought mum and dad would get back together. Even though it was impossible, I just didn't think mum would marry a jerk like Marc to get some publicity,' I said.
'Don't you dare say that. She loves that man, and he loves her! She's only human,' said Lorelai angrily.
'She may be human but she sure can make a mess of things,' I said.
'I think it is in the Gilmore genes, look babe I need to go its getting late but please don't do a Parker on us, we all need you at the moment,' she said walking out the door.
I went to sleep that night not with happy thoughts but with a sad thought that I had let the whole family down, I hated the thought of letting them down and I needed to find a way to fix it.
I spent the next three days at home doing housework with the maids, they were short a maid, "Hilda" the Swedish maid ran away with the milkman. Grandma treated me like a maid and I was getting sick and tired of waiting on her hand and foot.
'Grandma, I am not a maid so stop treating me like one!' I yelled.
'It's up to you how you how you want to be treat,' she stated.
'And I don't want to be treated this way,' I said softly.
'Well you deserve to be treated this way,' she said.
'I am your only great-granddaughter that isn't a player or getting laid, and if you keep treating me like this you are going to push me away,' I said upset.
'If it comes to that then so be it,' she said walking off. It was time for a talk with Lorelai. I needed to get there fast but I didn't have any way of getting there, there was only one person I could ask. Sid.
'Hello,' said a crocky unfamiliar voice.
'Hi this is Lana,' I said when some one finally picked up the phone. 'I need to talk to Sid.'
'Is that Lana Gilmore?' the voice was familiar now it was Mr. Dugrey.
'Yes it is,' I answered . Is there any other Lana's that he knows off? Why is he home from work? Isn't he a work-a-holic? I know that Sid didn't want to go to school today because we were having an open day for younger students and their parents to look around, and only the seniors were suppose to be there.
'I will get her,' he answered with disgust.
'Thanks,' but he wasn't there to here that.
'Hello Lana,' said Sid.
'I haven't talked to you in days and that's all I get hello Lana?' I said shocked with a lot of sarcasm in my voice.
'I'm not in the mood Lana,' she said.
'Sorry I will get straight to the point, my grandma, Emily, is driving me insane she is treating my like a maid and I really need to see Lorelai so I was wondering if you could take me to Stars Hollow?'
'No sorry I've got problems of my own, you aren't the only one in this world you know, you need to think of other people,' she said upset.
'Sorry for asking don't worry about it,' I said surprised. 'I can find my own way there.'
'And I'm not your chuffer!' she said hanging up the phone.
'Someone is in a bad mood I wonder why?' I asked my self aloud. Maybe grandpa will let me drive his car I think it is in the garage. I walked out of my room and went to grandpa's study, Yes he's in here 'Hi grandpa.'
'Ah Lana, I hope you have recovered from your tantrum,' he said sweetly.
'Yes,' I said looking down at my feet.
'I'm sure you are but your not here to apologize are you?' he said smiling.
'Your right grandpa I'm not its just I need to talk to Lorelai and I haven't got a car so I was wondering if I could borrow the Porsche?' I asked sweetly it all ways got to him, I was like the granddaughter he could never say no to.
'I don't know Lana I mean we can't reward you for the bad things you do, but I guess you can. Here take the keys,' he said handing them to me.
He could never resist that smile 'Thanks grandpa,' I said kissing his check.
'Please drive carefully,' he said lifting up his newspaper.
'No need to say that Grandpa,' I said leaving the room.
I did drive carefully it was the first time I had been driving in the car alone really since I got my drivers licence and I'm sure Lorelai would be pleased about that, NOT. When I finally got to Lorelai's house no one was there. I wonder why, every one was at work. So I went to the only place I would think she might be at 1.30 on a Thursday afternoon. Luke's Diner was the only place that popped into my head.
'Excuse me could I get some coffee over here,' I asked as I sat down on a stool.
'Sure just hang on I'm not to good at this,' he said smiling at me.
'Ok you want any help?' I asked.
'Sorry no foreigners can help in here,' he said smirking.
'I'm no foreigner I'm highly out raged! But I guess I can hang on for my coffee.'
Five minutes later he had returned with no more plates to hand out, 'I guess it is your turn I'm Matt, and this is your coffee.'
'No sorry you gave me the wrong type of coffee,' I said handing it back after I had a taste.
'It's not de-café though,' he said shocked.
'I think you should sit down,' I said patting the stool. He sat down on the stool looking shocked, 'there is something you should know about me, I'm a Gilmore.'
'You're a Gilmore? Who's a Gilmore?' he asked shocked.
'You mock me? How dare you, I'm the spawn's granddaughter,' I said smiling sweetly.
'And who would that be?' he asked still not sure on who I was.
'Lorelai Gilmore Danes granddaughter,' I said holding my hand out.
'And who might that be,' he asked again with a look of dumbness on his face.
'Don't worry about it. I mean we are one of the most known people in this town. But your knew I can excuse you for know' I said shocked. 'How could you not know who the Gilmore's are? I mean were pretty well known for our stuff ups but I'm sure you would have heard from us from Luke he is my grandfather after all. He is so-' Stop babbling.
'Stop babbling, I knew who the Gilmore's are I mean mum told me about them and how crazy you girls are. I know that you need your very own coffee pot cause that is the only type that is strong enough for you.'
'Sorry Matt but there is no coffee that is strong enough for mum or me or any of the Gilmore's,' I said winking. 'Maybe Emily but surely not the younger generation.'
'I'm sure there isn't but this will have to do for now,' he said walking off.
'Could you tell me were Lorelai is?' I asked walking off with him.
'Upstairs but cover your eyes cause what there doing up there might be scary,' he said laughing.
'No they don't do it during the day,' I said walking off upstairs. am I falling for a relative of Luke's? No that is just wrong 'Lorelai, Luke is it safe to come in?'
'Not unless you want to come out alive!' said Lorelai angrily.
'Than I better star running,' I joked walking in.
'What's up babe?' she said hugging me.
'Oh you better be joking,' I said remembering why I came.
'Emily,' she said.
'You betchya,' I said angrily.
'I think this is a grandma moment,' said Luke walking off.
'What has she done know?' asked Lorelai.
'It's probably nothing but I just cant stay there any more, I mean they gave me everything, and then I blow it by staying with Paris one night. She thinks I'm going off the trails, I mean she treats me like I'm a maid and when I try and talk to her about it she walks off. Then one of my two friends gets mad at me when I ask for a ride so we could talk about it,' I said.
'Is Emily treating you like a maid?' asked Lorelai.
'Yes getting me to polish silver ware and clean Parkers room; and all sorts of things. I just can't bare it any more I mean I can take hard work I just can't take Emily,' I said walking around the room.
'Stop pacing Lana,' said Lorelai patting the seat beside her.
'What should I do?' I asked shocked.
'Just lay back and watch what happens, oh no wait that is what I'm suppose to do, you're suppose to run away with some biker guy,' she said with a wink.
'I tried to but none of them were my type,' I said.
'I will help you find one, hey you got grandpa's Porsche you lucky thing,' she said smiling as she looked out of the window.
'Yeah but only for the day, I really need some wheels for my birthday,' I said.
'Your wish is my command,' said Lorelai.
'Please explain,' I said.
'Your mum is getting you a car for your birthday,' she said, 'but you didn't hear that from me.'
'No I didn't, no siree. So what is with the guy down stairs?'
'Major hottie,' said Lorelai.
'Yuk! Lorelai your not suppose to think of things like that,' I said, 'that is for me to think.'
'Yes maybe,' she said. 'I don't think I'm the person to answer the question though ask your dad.'
'Sorry I'm not talking to him,' I said upset.
'Yes you are, and you can stay with me, only if you talk to him,' said Lorelai.
'You mean I can stay with you?' I asked.
'Only if you talk to your dad,' said Lorelai.
'I will go talk to him now is he down stairs?'
'He should be just depends,' said Lorelai happily.
'What is meant by that?' I asked. Please tell me he isn't with Janna?
'He's with Janna,' said Lorelai with a pensive face.
'Great and that would be in his room down the corridor,' I said walking out the door.
I tapped on the door and I heard some yell 'Who is it?'
'Is it safe to come in dad?' I asked.
'Oh its you Lana come on in,' he said. I went in before he could reach the door.
'Already in,' I said walking in. 'Ah sorry dad didn't know you were in the middle of business,' I noticed Jana's shirt was unbuttoned.
'No Lana were not in the middle of business. It there anything you want to talk about? Oh Lana this is Jana, Jana this is Lana, You two didn't really meet the other night.' Shit I should stop doing things like that in here. Lana could have walked in on something big.
'Jana it's nice to meet you. There is I want to apologize to you and Jana about the other night it was wrong I came for your advice and was sort of freaked out a bit. I didn't know that you were dating or even in a relationship.'
'Next time don't run off with a guy, you frightened me,' he said smirking.
'Get that smirk off your face Jesse,' I said waking him on the arm.
'I'll go downstairs and leave you two alone,' said Jana.
'Wait we should tell her,' said Jesse.
'Tell me what?' I asked surprised.
'Please sit down,' said Jana patting the chair next to her.
I sat down like an obedient dog I didn't like the sound of this or her. I didn't like her, and I knew I wouldn't ever really like her. If dad wanted to replace her for my mother, well he was wrong.
'Lana your pale, drink this,' said dad handing me his coffee.
'Thanks so tell me this "news",' I said upset. I know what it is they are going to say. The are going to say there pregnant or the are going to get married I know it I just know it.
'Well Jana and I have been seeing each other for just over a year and well I proposed to her the night you came and she said yes and were are getting married in just over three months,' he said happy.
He's happy I haven't seen him this happy since he saw me for the first time in September
'Lana? Any one in there?' asked Jesse.
'Yeah there is I'm just think this over before I star yelling and screaming like I usually do,' I said upset. He's getting married 'I guess I should say umm congratulations.'
'Thanks you Lana,' said Jana.
'So I hope you're not the typical evil step-mum,' I said joking.
'I hope not,' she said confused.
'Don't worry Lana I don't expect you to accept this straight away,' said Jesse.
'There is some one I would like you to meet though,' said Jana. 'Follow me.'
'Ok then,' I said confused at what was happening. I followed her out of my dad's room and out and down to the diner. I saw my dad and Jana walk off into the storeroom and come back with Matt.
'Matt, I would like you to meet your new sister, Lana,' said Jana.
'What?' said Matt and me at the same time.
Headmaster Medina, there were many things I could have done other then start a war against Tristan Dugrey. I was just so mad that he spread a rumour that I had slept with him.
