"Why are you still here?"
Rory turned around and her eyes met the cold ones belonging to Laurie.
"I thought you left"
She crossed her arms and looked at her with loathing in her eyes.
Rory nodded.
"I was going to..."
Lauries voice was cold and distant, very different from how she had sounded when they were friends.
"You should have...good riddens..."
Rory sighed. She knew it wasn't going to be easy...but then again...did she even deserve easy?
"I know I should have Laurie...but I stayed here...to make up for my mistakes...I'll even beg for forgiveness if I have to"
Her voice sounded sincere and her eyes pleaded with Laurie to believe her.
"Don't...it's pathetic"
Laurie spun around and walked in the opposite direction. After a few steps she turned around again.
"And useless"
Rory bit her lip. It was going to be hard. She really wanted Laurie back as her friend but she understood that Laurie would probably never trust her again.
And Jess...everytime she came near the diner she had to fight the urge to walk in. She never saw Jess anymore...he didn't go to her school and she couldn't just step into the diner and ask for him.
Knowing Luke he would probably throw her out and yell at her. And he would be right to. She had destroyed Jess's life...all out of pure egoism. And now she wanted him back...again out of pure egoism.
She needed him.
She wanted him.
To hold him...
To kiss him...
Just to be close to him...
Just something...
Anything...
She'd give up everything to hold him just once. And that's why she kept on fighting...kept on taking the insults and never broke down...cause she needed him...he was everything to her. The air she breathed in...just remembering his smile made her happy again. Thinking about the way he held her after they slept together made butterflies race in her belly.
So one day...she just decided to do it. She pushed the door to the diner open and heard the little bell ringing. People stared at her...wondering what she was doing here...wondering how long it would take Luke to lose his temper.
She sat down at the counter and looked at Luke which what she hoped was an honest face.
"Luke?"
He turned to face her.
"Can I talk to Jess for a moment?"
He sneered.
"Jess doesn't need you to ruin his life any further...he's just getting back on track... you ruined his life Rory...I thought you were a nice girl..."
She bit her lip.
"I know...I was...once...and I'm trying to be one again. Please Luke...If you think I'm helping him destroy his life again you can barr me from the diner...and you can tell me to stay the hell away from Jess and I will...please...I just want a chance to help him..."
She used what she hoped was her most convincing Gilmore-whine. He grunted.
**Rory's POV**
"A chance? Why would I give you a chance? I gave you one when you came here...and you ruined his life...and Laurie's life..."
Suddenly someone unexpected backed me up. I had never imagined my grandmother to be in this diner...let alone talk to Luke.
"She's trying Danes...she really changed...I can vow for that"
Luke didn't look convinced, but my grandma just glared at him. I've seen that glare a couple of times and believe me it isn't pretty. She looks so cold that sometimes I just feel the urge to touch her and make sure she hasn't turned into stone.
With a defeated sigh Luke looked at me.
"Ten minutes..."
I nodded and walked upstairs to his room. After hesitating for a couple of seconds I knocked on his door.
I heard a distinct sigh coming from his room.
"What?"
Just hearing his voice made my heart skip a beat.
"You know I'm in here Luke so you can go downstairs again..."
He was clearly irritated.
I took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hey...it's me..."
A/N: Evil! I know...sorry...and sorry this chapter sucks...cause it does...doesn't it?
