Chapter 4: Girls just wanna have fun, guys just wanna get drunk

AN: Ok, so more random craziness here… I know it's starting to seem a lot like Grease, but that will change in the chapter after this one… I mean, I love Grease, but sometimes you must find something more original… Till then, more bits of Grease…

I don't own "Hopelessly devoted to you"… I wish I did, I'd be rich!

Stars Hollow has this weird time things, it's like time is never normal there… So I used that.. Cause otherwise, there'd be no way in hell everyone would be at Lorelai's so soon…. Duh!

Chapter contains appearances by: a few of the Lost ladies, a bitchy grandmother, and two certain bad boy hotties… Take a guess ;)

Ok everyone, please R & R

Claire had no idea how it happened, but about a few seconds after she agreed to the girls night, suddenly everyone was at Lorelai's house. Even Kate and Shannon, who probably didn't even knew the village, were there! It was a bit weird, but whatever. What mattered was that everyone was there.

Lorelai started the "Sex and the city" DVD's they were going to watch, and everyone stopped talking, and started watching the show.

Claire tried to do that too, but she couldn't focus on it. She kept on thinking about him, about Sawyer. How cute he was, the things that happened on the island. And now, him pushing her away. She didn't even knew why he did that.

Claire left the house, as quiet as she could. She needed to be alone for a while, so she sat down outside, and started to think about Sawyer again. And suddenly, she felt the urge to sing a heartbreaking song about her love for him. Where that came from, she didn't knew.

"Guess mine is not the first heart broken."

It really felt like her heart was breaking, crumbling apart.
"My eyes are not the first to cry.
I'm not the first to know
there's just no getting over you."

Nope, Kate probably knew everything about it too. Claire had to remind herself why she and Sawyer could never be. Sugar and spice, he always had all the girls after him, and he was a conman. A guy like that could never be there for her and Aaron.
"I know I'm just a fool who's willin'
to sit around and wait for you.
But, baby, can't you see
there's nothin' else for me to do?
I'm hopelessly devoted to you."

Claire had to admit it; she fell in love with him on the island.
"But now
there's no where to hide
since you pushed my love aside."

He rejected her, pushed her away. That made her realize even more it could never work. But why did she even want it to work so bad?
"I'm out of my head,
hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you."

Because she loved him.
"My head is sayin', "Fool, forget him."
My heart is sayin' "Don't let go.
Hold on to the end."
And that's what I intend to do.
I'm hopelessly devoted to you."

Torn between head and heart, that was how she felt.
"But now
there's no where to hide
since you pushed my love aside.
I'm out of my head,
hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you. "

She stopped singing, and looked around. No one was there. She shivered. It was getting cold, she thought, and got in the house again.

Everyone was watching "Sex and the City", and was enjoying it. Even Claire was having fun, being able to hang out with her friends. Jackson was babysitting Davey and Aaron, so she didn't have to worry about that.

The phone rang, and Lorelai picked up. It must have been an annoying person, cause Lorelai looked as she had just landed in hell.

"No mom, Luke isn't with me. Rory is with me, and a few other girls. I know you don't like Luke, but I already said I don't care. No, you're not judging her. You don't know her story, or anything else about her. Yes, we'll be there next Friday. No, I won't bring Luke. Yes, I've heard about the new guy already. I don't care what you think of him. Not my problem. Yes, Rory is fine. She'll be there Friday. Bye mom!"

Claire looked at Lorelai. She sounded like she really didn't like her mother. Which was a weird thing to Claire. Most people like their mothers you know. Rory loved Lorelai, Davey seemed to love Sookie, and Claire hoped Aaron loved her.

"Another phone call from Lady Emily," Rory asked.

"My mother," Lorelai explained. "She's this crazy woman. She hates Luke and everyone in the town who isn't up to her standards. Conclusion: she's a snob."

Claire tried to hide her laughter, but she failed. She started giggling, as did Rory.

"Who was granny gossiping about this time," Rory asked.

"The usual," Lorelai answered. "Me, Luke, the new people. And she was saying irritating stuff about Claire. How I responded, you all know. She was also gossiping about Sawyer though. Lady Emily clearly thought he wasn't good enough."

You could definitely call Emily a snob, Claire thought. She had problems with just about everyone. It was kind of pathetic that Emily thought Luke wasn't good enough. Lorelai and him made the cutest couple, Rory loved Luke as a dad, everything seemed okay.

"Ace," someone yelled. "There's this guy here who says he knows you! Come and check him out! Quick please, cause I don't think he likes me."

Logan? What was he doing here? And what was he talking about? Someone was there, but who could it be, Rory wondered. Logan came all the way from Yale to tell her something about a guy. Logan could be weird, and a jerk. Maybe that was why it never worked out between them. But that wasn't the point.

"Come on Rory," her mom said. "You should go. Maybe it's someone who wants to offer you the lottery jackpot. Go to the guy, come on!"

Should she go? Rory didn't even knew who were there. She looked around the room, to get the opinions of the other ladies. Most of them nodded, to say she should go.

"I'll come with you," Claire said.

Rory liked the single mom. It was a nice girl, and Aaron was an adorable boy. Too bad about Claire's issues with that redneck Sawyer. There was something about that Sawyer Rory couldn't quiet get. He seemed fake sometimes, like his bad behavior was just a mask that he was wearing. Rory hoped that would fade, and him and Claire could be happy. Claire really deserved to be happy, after what that Thomas did to her. Jerk!

"Thanks Claire," she said, as they got out of the house.

"You're welcome Rory," Claire said, with a smile on her face.

Rory noticed Logan, slightly drunk. Finn, Logan's insane buddy, was also there. Luke was there, talking to Sawyer. Then, there was a guy Rory knew all to well. Jess was there. Why was he there? He wouldn't be at her house just to talk to his uncle Luke.

"Rory," Claire said. "I think I'm going back inside. You're staying here, or are you coming with me? It has nothing to do with you. You know what it's about."

Rory thought about going back in with Claire, but then the guys noticed them. Sawyer went up to Claire, while Jess went up to Rory. Great, she thought. Her 'bad boy' ex-boyfriend was back. Just wait ten minutes and he'd be in Dean's face again. A battle of the exes.

"Rory," Jess said. "I'm so glad to see you. That prick there told me he knew you, and he brought me here. Don't tell me he's your boyfriend. He's not right for you, and neither is Dean. I'm right for you. You know that right?"

What happened to Jess, Rory thought. He kept on coming back, saying he loved her and wanted her back. The other times, she always had a boyfriend or someone like it. Now, she had no one. Could she fall for Jess again? She knew she could. Would it happen? It very well could happen. Rory still wasn't sure about her feelings for Jess.

"Are you here just to tell me that," Rory asked Jess.

"There's more," Jess said. "I love you Rory. Please be my girl again. I've changed, really. I'm finally finishing high school, so I can study. I can take care of you now. No more lying to you, never! Please be my girl again."

Rory was still in love with him. She never forgot him. When she met Logan, she liked him because he seemed a lot like Jess. Equally bad boy. But Jess changed. He was no longer a total bad boy. Rory hoped he'd remain Jess, just a little bad. Or else he'd be boring. Girls always liked bad boys, Rory thought.

That reminded her of Sawyer and Claire. She looked at them. Sawyer was clearly drunk, and Claire looked mad. She was yelling at him, and crying at the same time. Rory walked over to them, to maybe help Claire. Jess came after her.

"Sawyer," Claire said. "I can't trust you. You show up here drunk, you were seeing Kate when we had something, you pushed me away. I'm sure you can be really nice, but you just never show it, huh Sawyer!"

Rory saw Claire wiping her tears, and Sawyer standing, almost falling down.

"But Claire," Sawyer said. "I love you."

Now Claire started crying again. Rory knew Claire was in love with Sawyer, that she loved him. So this must really hurt her. In love with someone you could never be with.

"You love me," Claire said. "Oh, you showed that damn well. You're a stupid jackass Sawyer! What kind of name is that anyway?"

Now Sawyer looked hurt. Rory had no idea what it was about, so she walked away, with Jess on her tail. He clearly thought they were going to continue their conversation.

"It was his name," Sawyer screamed. "He was a conman. Romanced my momma to get to the money. My dad shot her, then himself. That enough for you?"

Claire was shocked. She expected something about the name, but something like that? That didn't even happened in the movies. But maybe it was the reason for Sawyer being so bitter and sarcastic to everyone. She felt sorry for even bringing it up.

"I didn't knew," Claire said. "And now I don't even know what your name is."

She wiped the last of her tears, then looked at the man she loved. He looked drunk, very drunk. He could barely stay on his feet.

"James," he said. "It's James."

Then, he passed out. Just there, outside in the cold night. Claire looked at him. He might as well get very sick when he wakes up tomorrow, from all the drinks he's been having. Claire took the risk, and took him home with her. The girls would understand, Claire thought. She looked at Lorelai's house one last time, then tried to lift James. It didn't work.

Suddenly, Luke helped her. They walked James to Claire's place, which luckily wasn't far away. Claire quickly opened the door, so they could lay him down in the bedroom. Aaron didn't wake up, fortunately.

Luke left, and Claire got to the bedroom again. She had been really stupid, laying him in her bed. Where would she sleep then? She thought about it for a while. She might as well just sleep in the bed. It was big enough, and it wasn't like James would notice. She'd be up before he would be. Even if he was earlier, he'd probably have a hangover anyway.

Claire got ready, then got into bed. She checked James, who was still pretty passed out, and sleeping. She smiled, and turned around.

Claire didn't notice she went to lay closer to James. She was asleep already, dreaming of fairytales, which all included James as her hero. Her knight in shining armor, her savior, her prince charming, her Mr. Right, her… Shouldn't this chapter be finished by now?
