Title: Jerry Lee Lewis isn't good enough.
Author: Chubs
Author's notes: I wrote a story like this, but decided it was too complicated and to dramatic for my liking, so I decided to re-write it in to something better! Hopefully!
Disclaimer: I own no one but the people you haven't heard of. I think they are Lorelai III (Ellie), Pat, Emma, and Christian.
Spoilers: No spoiler's of the likes.
Description: Rory meets up unexpectedly with her past when her daughter starts at Chilton Prep, an event all to familiar to Rory. Eventually Trory.
Chapter 4 –Ellie woke up the next day late in the morning to an empty house. So after fully waking up and getting dressed she walked to the first place she thought the Gilmore Girls would be, Luke's.
Surprisingly she didn't have much to drink last night, seeing as she could remember most of it. After she meet Pat's "girlfriend" she didn't have any more to drink, she just made out with Michael. Michael was a pretty good guy, he wasn't a total jerk, and he seemed nice enough.
'Luke can I please have three big huge cups of coffee?' asked Ellie as she entered the diner.
'Here,' he said placing two big cups in front of her as she noticed Rory, Lorelai and Emma sitting at a table eating chocolate.
'Hey Lorelai,' she said sitting down at the table and staring into space.
'You look like crap,' she said smiling, just as her phone started vibrating. A message, it was from Michael, hey babe its Michael how u feeling? I had a good time last nite.
'You look good to Lorelai,' she said sarcastically gulping down her coffee, writing a text back to Michael, hey Michael massive headache just like ny normal saturday morning I had a good time as well, luv ellie.
'What did you get up to last night?' she asked winking.
'Not much.'
'That you can remember,' she said laughing at her own joke.
'Funny James Dean,' said Ellie smiling.
'Yay, I'm James Dean, Rory!' she said excitedly.
'Who am I?' asked Rory just as excited.
'Jerry Lee Lewis,' she said rolling her eyes their childish antics.
'Her names longer than mine, not fair,' said Lorelai pouting.
'Fine then, your Baby Spice,' she said thinking she had fixed the problem, realising that in fact she'd only made it worse, causing jealousy to stir in Rory at being a rock start while Lorelai got to be a pop star.
'How come she gets to be Baby Spice?' asked Rory upset.
'What Jerry Lee Lewis isn't good enough?' Rory shook her head, 'Fine then your Posh Spice,' she said sighing hoping that she'd finally fixed the problem.
'Yay,' said Lorelai and Rory excitedly, turning to each other and bursting out in Tell Me What You Want.
'I have the best idea ever!' said Lorelai as they were eating there lunch.
'What?' Rory and Ellie asked simultaneously.
'Movie night! We haven't had one in so long. It can be just us girls. Pat can shove off to our place –'
'Or some girls place.'
'And us 4 girls can have a movie night,' said Lorelai excitedly ignoring Ellie's previous comment.
'With Willy Wonker?' she asked. Ellie had inherited Lorelai's love for the oompa loopma's. 'And Spice World?'
'It's not a movie night with out it,' said Rory smiling half-heartedly.
Ellie noticed that Rory hadn't been happy, truly happy in some months now, perhaps because she lost her man in shining armour. I mean I haven't been happy either, thought Ellie calmly, but Rory; I hate seeing her like this. I hate seeing her looking so sad, because I knew that for 14 years she was the happiest person on this earth. Now she was one of the loneliest people on the earth, thought Ellie sadly, she hated seeing Rory like this.
'I think I'm going to walk home,' she said getting up, waiting for their acceptance, hoping that they would plead for her to stay and play a game or take Em home with her.
'I'll see you at home babe, anything you want in the junk food department?' asked Rory.
'Just as much food as you can fit into that jeep of ours,' she said plastering on another fake smile. That's what she had been doing lately, pretending like she was happy, but really she wasn't, she was just as sad as Rory and some ways even sadder.
As she walked home, all Ellie could think about was her mom and dad, and about her family, and the way they use to be. Matt McKinnon, Pat, Ellie and Em's dad, died from a brain tumour on June 29th 2021. She missed him, she hated him for leaving her all alone, but hated him even more for not being there to see his baby girl grow up into a wonderful woman. But she loved him so much because he was her father. She loved him for nurturing her, whispering sweet nothings in her ears when she had a bad dream, even when he was dieing, he was all ways there protecting her from all the bad things in the world. And now he was gone, and he can't protect her anymore, and she was so angry at him for leaving her all alone in the world, and for leaving Rory. Leaving them with out a man in shining armour. No man to protect them. No dad.
I thought that I had come to terms with dad's death in the last couple of months. I was confused and scared that I might find someone to replace him and I'd forget everything about him. Then I realised that, that wasn't possible. I could never forget anything about him; he has such a presence in my life. Every were I go, he's there, not in spirit, but just everything reminds me of him. I remember his smell and aura he was such a strong person in my life. But I still felt so angry with him for leaving us, and I hoped that one day I'd wake up and there he'd be waking me up in the morning with my coffee in one hand and a pop tart in the other. I guess I haven't come to terms with dad's death yet, thought Ellie sadly, wanting so much for that chapter in her life to be over with.
'Hello?' she said as she entered the house, 'any whores here?'
'None at the moment, come back in five minutes and there should be a house full,' joked Pat.
'Hey,' she said flopping on his bed.
'Hey, how you feeling?' he asked turning down his music.
'Not to bad,' she said smiling, 'how was last night?'
'Not to bad,' he said laughing. 'What about you? I remember walking in on you making out with some poor sophomore.'
Ellie looked at him horrified but cracked up at the look on his face.
'What?' he asked confused chucking a book at me.
'Nothing,' she said trying to keep her laughter under control. 'It's just that you were in big brother mode and you haven't been in that mode for such a long time, it kinda made me laugh.'
'Who is he?' he asked sternly.
'Just a guy from school,' she said getting up and heading for the door, she just wanted to forget that she ever had this conversation with him.
'There the worse sort,' yelled Pat as she exited his room and left for hers.
She walked into her room and turned on her radio, turning it up loud enough to block out Pat's "soothing" rock music.
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
And there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
A tear slid down her cheek, she walked down to Pat's room were he was sitting on his bed reading.
'Ella, what's wrong?' he asked embracing her in a brotherly hug, something he didn't do often anymore.
'Nothing I just need a hug,' she said hugging him back, 'it's so stupid, I just heard a song, I don't even know why but it made me so sad.'
'Don't worry,' he said placing his chin on top of her head. 'I get like that to. It'll go away.'
'I don't want to stop hurting. Or else I might forget him.'
'You won't ever forget him,' said Pat hugging her tighter, wanting to make his sister feel better, he hated seeing her so sad and angry, it reminded him of the bad times.
'How come it's been more than a year and I still miss him?' she asked referring to the death of their father.
'Because he's our dad,' Pat said stroking her back soothingly.
I hate Pat, I hate how he looks exactly like dad, I hate how he acts just like dad, and I hate how everything he does reminds me of dad. I hate how I don't hate Pat, I hate that I love Pat so much that I can't hate him, not even when we fight. But most of all I hate how Pat smells just like dad, and one day I hate that I might lost him, just like I lost dad. I hate that I can't let go of him, because I'm so scared of losing moments like these. I'm scared that we might stop talking one day, and I'd lose him, thought Ellie sadly, dreading the day that happened.
I know that it might be kind of confusing when I put in Ellie's point of view, i just hope it's not. SOOOO what do you all think? Anyone got any ideas?
