Authors Note: Okay, I know the first chapter was confusing. You're probably wondering what is going on, and what this has to do with the Gilmore girls. Don't worry, it's all explained below, so just continue reading! :)
Run Away Little Girl
By Angel
Chapter 2: The Past Returns
Lori Gallager took a quick peek over her shoulder for the third time that morning. There! That girl by the newsstand. She was following her, and Lori had no idea why. She had been there since she left the coffee place this morning. Turning a corner, she glanced behind her again, and there she was. 'Why is this girl following me?' she wondered. 'Could it be…no! It isn't, it can't be.' She reassured herself as she walked into her office building. Calming when she didn't see the girl anymore, Lori chalked up her paranoia to the horrible nightmares she had been having for the last two weeks. 'Those dreams can make anyone paranoid' she said to herself as she took the stairs (the elevator was taking too long!). Entering her office she set out with her morning routine, checking her messages and e-mails, and returning any calls she had missed. As she logged into her e-mail she turned and looked out her open office door. She froze at what she saw. At the reception desk was the same girl she saw that morning! As the girl left, Lori quickly walked to the reception desk. "Elly, who was that girl who was just here?" she asked.
"I'm not sure. She was asking about you though. Except she kept calling you by a different name. What was it…oh, yeah she kept asking for a Lorelai Gilmore. Said that the woman was also known as Rory. I told her she had the wrong person. She must have gotten you mixed up with someone else," Elly said with a smile.
"Yeah…she must have," Lori said with a weak smile in return. Walking back to her office, she closed her door and collapsed into her chair. Taking deep breaths she tried to calm herself. Deciding to think about the situation later, she turned to her e-mails, opening the first one. As she read it, Lori turned pale. 'No, this can't be happening. Not again! No, please no!' Holding back a sob, she quickly dialed a number. No one was home and the answering machine picked up. "Hi this is the Gilmore residence, we're not home right now, so we must be getting coffee! Or we can't find the phone. So leave a message and we'll call back!" There was a beep and Lori let out a sob. "Mom, I need you. It's started again."
~So, does it make more sense now? If not, then more will be explained in the coming chapters, which will be out soon! I know it's short, and I'm evil for stopping it there, but don't worry, more is on the way! So review! :)~
