The Truth Finally Comes Out
Chapter two - A Journey's Beginning Part one
After a long night and almost no sleep, Alyssa hears a knock at her bedroom door. Glancing at the clock Ali sees that it's almost 1:30 pm. 'figures,' she thought, 'I don't think I actually even got into bed until dawn.'
She gets up and stumbles over to the door, opening it. Expecting to find her parents, or at least a maid sent there by her parents, she is surprised to see her best friend Britney standing there.
"Hey there sleepy head. Your mom told me that you were still sleeping but I didn't believe it. I mean, you sleep late, but never this late. What's up?"
Though Alyssa was leery to tell her friend what she had found out, she figured that maybe she could use Britney to help her find her real mother.
"Okay, Britney, if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone because you know how the gossip train works around here. I don't want anyone to know, at least not until I can get myself out of here. Promise?" Ali said.
Britney, think the worse immediately assumes that Ali is pregnant. "oh my god Ali, you're not."
"Brit? What are you talking about? Oh, you think I'm. I'm not, I can't believe you think that" Ali rambles on.
Britney thankful she's wrong immediately wants to know what is really going on. And, sitting her down, Ali tells her story, and in true Ali fashion she starts at the complete beginning, the fact that her coffee machine doesn't like her anymore. After the mention of coffee Ali realizes that she hasn't even has one cup in over twenty-four hours and without even mentioning another word she drags Britney out of her house for coffee, in her pajamas.
Sitting in Ali's favourite coffee shop, Bobby's, she continues on with her story. At this point Alyssa isn't even worried about the gossip train because no one within the high society class would be found within the funky coffee house. Come to mention it, Ali isn't even out of place wearing her snowflake pajamas, in California in the middle of summer.
After sitting in the shop for twenty minutes not even talking Britney decides that she has an idea. Granted it's not a very original idea, but something anyone would come up with, but an idea nonetheless. Ali had to try and sneak into her mother's study and try and find the adoption papers and then they could go from there. Ali agrees and the two girls spend the rest of the afternoon just hanging out.
Upon returning home Alyssa's mother tries to convince her to attend some stupid black tie event with the rest of the family, but Ali declines on the pretext that she's not ready to go out again but really because she thinks this is the perfect time to find those papers. It takes a lot of convincing on both parts but her parents finally decide that they can tell everyone at the event that Alyssa was too sick to make it but sends her apologies and with that her parents and two brothers are out the door.
Ali wanders around upstairs trying to get up the nerve to enter her mother's study and after about twenty minutes of pacing and thinking she works up the courage to go inside. After closing the door to the study, lest any of the maids discover what was going on, Ali proceeds to search every nook and cranny of that room, not finding anything that would remotely help her. She knows that it has to be her mother that has the information and not her father because he didn't take care of anything around the house. The house was her mother's responsibility and so too was the care of the children. It was always her mother's responsibility to pay for the nannies and the school and to remember their health records. She was the only one that had copies of those and it was only right that she be the only one that had copies of this.
She sat in that study for hours, just thinking about where else those papers could be when she heard her parents come in. they were rather noisy and she figured her mother and father were probably a little drunk. She hurried out of there and back into her room before they saw her, but she didn't stop wondering where those papers could be. In fact, she was up half the night when she finally figured it out. She had completely forgotten that in addition to her mother keeping all the health records for herself and her brothers in her study her mother also had copies in a safe deposit box. That had to be where the papers were and Ali knew just where the key to the box was.
Ali waited patiently until her chance to grab the key finally came Monday morning. She knew her mother would be home from work at lunch and would probably noticed the key missing then when she went to get the key to her father's study, where she would precede to pay the bills. Ali figured that she would just skip school like she had done on Friday and make a copy of the key. Return the original to her mother's room before going to the bank.
Alyssa had never skipped school before Friday. She was a smart girl and normally got straight A's with the lowest mark of her life being a B-. 'Oh well,' she figured, 'once I know where my real mother is I'm going to leave anyway and find her. Then I'll be skipping a lot more school, so I guess this doesn't matter.' She thought shrugging her shoulders and hurrying off to do what needed to be done.
That night she sat at her desk holding the adoption papers in front of her wondering what she would find out once she opened them. Who would her mother be? Where would her mother be?
Opening the folder and scanning the pages inside the finally knew the truth. 'My mother's name is Lorelai Gilmore' Ali thought, 'what a cool name.' But the one thing she noticed was that there was no address. She knew the name and that's all she had to go on. 'There must be a number of Lorelai Gilmore's in this country, how am I going to find the right one?' she thought, but then she noticed something. The top left hand corn of the first page had a company seal, with an address. No, she wasn't thinking of contacting the adoption agency to see if they knew. She figured that she might as well try and confine her search for a Lorelai Gilmore in Connecticut.
After sending yet another night up with no sleep searching the internet, Ali finally found the Lorelai Gilmore she was searching for. Not that there had been many, only three but she had ruled out one because she was only 17, and another because she was a very old lady. She found out that her mother lived in Star's Hollow, Connecticut, and that's where she was going. Tomorrow. Or, rather today, she thought looking at the clock.
'i'll leave after mom and dad leave for work.' She thought.
A/n I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'm already planning the next one. I bet a lot of people figured out that Lorelai would be Alyssa's mom, but you're just going to have to wait to see why, or how Alyssa was given up for adoption. Don't mind some of the spelling, I am Canadian and we do spell favourite with a U, same as coloUr, and laboUr. Along with many others. Please, don't forget to review; I'd love to hear from you guys.
