Chapter Eleven
"Okay, see you later." Lorelai said to Rory as she got in her car, and headed to Sookie and Jackson's house. She drove in silence for several moments, but as she pulled up a the Stop sign, she heard someone call her name.
"LOELAI!" Kirk yelled.
"Uh…yes Kirk?" Lorelai asked.
"Umm…Taylor wants to see you." Kirk said.
"Oh. Okay, where?" Lorelai asked.
"Just a block from here." Kirk replied.
"Okay, I'll drive over. Bye."
"Wait! I would prefer you walk with me." Kirk said.
"Okay, why?" Lorelai said pulling over and getting out of the car.
"I am going to be quite clear to you." Kirk said.
"Okay, Kirk." Lorelai said.
"Do you like Luke?"
"Yeah…."
"As more than a friend?"
"Yes...what's your point Kirk?"
"Do you love him?" Kirk asked.
"I feel very uncomfortable speaking to you about this."
"Because I'm pretty sure he loves you."
"Well that's nice."
"I at least know he really, really likes you, he always has." Kirk said.
"Okay, well I have to go see Taylor so bye Kirk."
"Oh no I made that up."
"Figures." Lorelai said. "Bye Kirk."
"Goodbye Lorelai." Kirk said.

"Hey Sookie." Lorelai said.
"Hi Lorelai!" Sookie replied.
"So, have you seen Christopher?"
"Oh, yeah I have."
"Oh, okay." Lorelai said.
"Yeah so how is everything?" Sookie asked.
"Great."
"You and Luke?"
"Great."
"Great!"
"Great."
"Great." There was a pause.
"Okay Sook not so great."
"Oh no, what happened?"
"Chris showed up at my door step today!" Lorelai moaned.
"Oh no! What happened?" Sookie asked.
"He hates Luke."
"Yeah, tell me something new."
"He came, he said sorry, and it was just horrible."
"How is Luke reacting?" Sookie asked.
"Fine I guess."
"Worse or better than you?"
"Better."
"Hey good."
"Yeah it is. Well, I came to say Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas Lorelai."

The time between Christmas and New Year seemed to pass surprisingly fast to Lorelai. Rory and Tristan had grown closer and closer, still not dating but they wanted to.
"Luke?" Rory called, on the day of New Years Eve.
"Yeah." He said.
"I'm going to go hang out at Tristan's. He's having a New Year's party and I want to get there early. I'll be back at around one or two."
"Okay…wait. Go to Lane's or Paris's house, not Tristan's." Luke said.
"He really doesn't even try to hide it when he doesn't like someone does he?" Tristan whispered to Rory.
"No." Rory said louder than intended.
"Fine go. But be back in one hour." Luke said.
"Got it." Rory said, sarcastically. It was then that Lorelai walked into the diner.
"Luke, coffee!" She called. "Oh hey hon. You leaving?"
"Yep."
"Okay, just be back by two, not a moment after or I might just have to call the police."
"Okay. Love you, Mom."
"Love you too. Have fun. Bye." Rory turned to leave.
"Sixty minutes!" Luke called.
"Bye, Luke!" Rory said as she and Tristan walked out the door.
"Man, that guy's a piece of work!" Tristan laughed.
"Yeah, but he's still Luke. Or as my mom says, Lukey Charms. Oh, here's your car." Rory said.
"Oh good, get in." Tristan said. They arrived at Tristan's house a half an hour later.
"Nice house." Rory said.
"Thanks." Tristan said.
Well, it seems you live at the edge the forest." Rory said.
"Yeah."
"Lets go." Rory said running into the forest.
Hours later, the rain was pouring and Rory had no idea where she was, thinking This is so strange. A thunder storm at the end of December? Luke must be worried. Tristan must be worried. Mom must be worried.
"Tristan!" She kept yelling, "Tristan!" But no answer. Tristan would yell to her but it was no use.
"Tristan get inside!" Yelled his mother.
"Not until I find Rory!"
