Recently on Why Me:

Lorelai stands there crying. Rory runs over to her.

"Mom are you okay?"

"Ya I'm fine. Where's Sammie."

"She's inside with Luke. She's in as bad a shape as you are."

"Okay we should go back in now."

"Ya let's go."

Lorelai, Rory, and Sammie are walking back to Lorelai and Rory's house. All 3 of them on the verge of tears but not wanting to sob where Miss Patty could see and make it into something more then it really is. Even though the whole town probably knows about the Chris incident already.

The moment that Rory closed the door Sammie started to cry histericlly. She had held it in long enough. Even though it was only the walk from Luke's it felt a lot longer. Lorelai hugged her and she started crying.

Rory sat down beside them and tried to comfort them. But she didn't think any amount of comforting could get them through this pain. It would only go away with time. She couldn't believe how much pain her dad can cause. Well she shouldn't be surprised because he does it all the time but he still amazes her about how much hurt he actually causes without meaning to cause it. How much pain could he cause if he wanted to make the person in pain.

Rory led Lorelai and Sammie to the couch. When they got to the couch Rory started to cry. About 30 minutes later the crying had stopped. They all wanted to cry but it was like they already cried all of their tears. Sammie had fallen asleep. Lorelai carried her up to her room. She came back downstairs to see Rory laying on the couch.

"Why would he do this," Rory asked.

"I don't know hon."

"But he can't just come here and take her away."

"Actually he can."

"What do you mean?"

"When Sammie was born he asked if he could take care of her because he didn't get to be there for you."

"Ya I know that. But what do you mean he could take her?"

"Well if you went to your dads house and I came over there I could take you home even if he said no. Same goes for Sammie but with your dad not me."

"Oh. So dad is like her guardian?"

"No. Dad is like her dad and I'm like her side figure," Lorelai said as she started to cry.

"Mom, she doesn't see you like that."

"But what if she does? What if she just sees me as someone she can run to if she's mad at her dad and that's it. Nothing more."

"No mom that's not true."

"Maybe it is."

"No mom it's not. You don't ever say that again!"

"Okay."

"Okay now when Sammie wakes up we'll finish Hard Bodies, okay?"

"Okay. I think that I'm going to go to my room and lay down."

"Okay mom. I think that I'm going to do some more homework."

What Lorelai and Rory didn't know is that Sammie was already awake. She had been sitting on the top of the stairs listening to their conversation. Sammie heard Lorelai start to walk towards the stairs and she ran into her room. Sammie quickly but quitely shut her door so Lorelai couldn't see or hear the door being closed. Sammie ran over to her bed. She laid her head down on her pillow and started to cry.

Chris got home and walked into his empty apartment. This is what he had always been protecting himself from: having to come home to an empty house. He knew that it would happen sometime. But he didn't think that it would happen until she got a little older.

He had tried to convince Sammie that going to see her mom wasn't a good thing but she had seen right through him. He didn't want to have Sammie like them more then she liked him. Sammie had always told him to grow up but he thought that he had grown up. But now he sees it like Sammie is more mature then he is.

Chris walked into his office. He picked up the phone to call Sammie then put it back down. He was already in Sammie's bad books and she told him not to go see her but he did. She also said not to call but he hasn't done that yet and he's not going to.

Sammie fell back asleep and woke up about an hour later to find that Lorelai and Rory were done resting and were in the kitchen.

"Hey mom," Sammie said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Hey."

"You were sleeping for awhile," Rory said.

"Ya well. My energy was sucked out of me," Sammie said knowing that Lorelai and Rory would know what she was talking about.

"Ya. Why don't we go watch Hard Bodies," Lorelai asked.

"Yes," Rory and Sammie said as they ran to the living room.

Lorelai switched on the movie.

"So when does your Christmas vacation start," Rory asked.

"Monday."

"Mine, too!"

"We should go to a movie or something."

"Yes we should."

Lorelai watched as her two daughters made plans to go to the movies on Monday. She couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty letting Chris take Sammie. She knew it was the fair thing to do but it still felt wrong.

"Mom," Sammie called snapping Lorelai back to reality.

"What?"

"I asked if you wanted to come with us."

"Sure."

"Yay!"

After Hard Bodies all three of them walked to Luke's for supper.

The bell above the diner jingled. Luke looked up from the toaster that he was trying to fix. He saw Sammie walk in the door followed by Rory and Lorelai. Luke walked over to Sammie. Sammie saw concern in his eyes.

"Everything's fine Luke," Sammie said. Luke let out a sigh of relief.

"Now I'll get you your cheeseburger no onions, fries, a slice of apple pie and orange juice because you didn't finish it when you were here last time."

"Thanks Luke," Sammie said as he hugged Luke.

"It's no problem Sammie."

Luke walked into the kitchen.

"No fair," Lorelai said.

"What?"

"Luke likes you better," Lorelai stated.

"Well what can I say. He has good taste," Sammie said.

Lorelai smiled.

"Ya he does," Lorelai said.

Sammie and Rory got deep into discussion on a book that Sammie just read. Lorelai stood up and walked over to the counter.

"Hey Luke?"

"Ya?"

"Thanks for doing that for Sammie."

"It's no problem."

"No really. It means a lot. After what Chris did..."

"Chris had no right doing that to her! He's such a... Well let's just say he better stay out of my diner. And it's the least I could do for Sammie."

"Ya it is."

"It'll be fun having her around for a little."

"Mommm," Sammie called from their table.

"What?"

"Rory is being immature."

"I'm being immature. You're the one who thinks he had 2 personalities."

"But he did!"

"Oh ya. It'll be fun," Lorelai said to Luke.

So what do you think. Good? Bad? Please Review.
