Remember: This chapter is from Jess' point of view.
Double Trouble Chapter 2
She came into the diner when I was working. It was really weird, kind of like an alternate universe. She looked just like Rory but...different. For one conceited second I thought that maybe Rory had changed herself for me. But that would never happen. Rory knew that I would take her the way she was, in a second.
She looked exactly like Rory, except her eyes were brown instead of blue. Also, her attitude. It was completely different. This girl walked in like she owned the place, but not in a Lorelai type of way. In a way like she thought that everyone should be bowing down to her.
She came up to the counter, but I didn't do anything. I was kind of in a shock.
"Helloooo?" she said.
I snapped back to reality. "What?"
"Are you gonna serve me or not?"
I rolled my eyes and went over to the coffee pot. After I had poured the coffee and brought it over, she said to me, "Eww, coffee?"
"You always have coffee."
"Eww, no I don't! How would you know anyway? I don't even know you!"
I had forgotten that this girl wasn't Rory. I just shrugged. I rolled my eyes and said, "Then what do you want?"
"A Sam Adams."
"No."
"Why not?"
"You're underage, for starters."
"No I'm not! I turned 21 two months ago."
She did look older than Rory, but I think that it was just because of the make-up. Rory never wore make-up.
"Whatever," I said, as I gave her a Sam Adams. I didn't really give a shit if she wanted to go get drunk somewhere.
"Jess! What are you doing?" Luke said to me as he came out of the kitchen.
"She says she's 21." I said, smirking.
"You know Rory's not 21."
"Um, excuse me, but, my name's not Rory."
I guess Luke knew who this girl was, because he knew her name.
"Oh, wow..you're Laura, right?"
She nodded.
"Does your mom know you're here yet?"
"I wouldn't exeactly call her my mom."
"Fine," Luke said, getting annoyed. "Does Lorelai know you're here yet?"
"How should I know? I've never talked to her."
"Well, stay here, I'm gonna call her."
Laura rolled her eyes, but sat down at the bar.
Just as Luke reached for the phone, Lorelai and Rory walked in the door.
When Lorelai saw Laura, she stopped short causing Rory to bump into her.
"Mom, keep walking. You're almost at the coff..." she trailed off as she saw Laura.
Lorelai immediatly turned to me. "Okay Jess, what did you do this time? Clone her?"
I held my hands up innocently.
Laura turned to Lorelai and said to her, "So, you're the lady who abandoned me.."
I'm not exactly on the best terms with Lorelai, but even I felt bad for her. I wasn't really her fault that she couldn't take care of both Rory and Laura. And it's not like she gave Laura up. Chris was just an ass and had to go do that for her.
For once, Lorelai didn't know what to say. She just stood there, shocked.
"What is it with this town and people staring? Every person I've seen so far has stared at me."
Rory stepped out from behind Lorelai. "Because," she said. "They think you're me."
"So? Do they stare at you on a regular basis? Is this like, a town of pediphiles?"
"No!"
That's when I stepped up. "It's just that, they don't remember Rory being that bitchy."
"Jess!" Luke yelled to me.
"Just telling it like it is," I said.
Laura ignored me. Apparently she was used to being called a bitch.
"So..where am I staying?" she asked.
"At my house," Lorelai said. "Come on. Me and Rory will show you." At least Lorelai was trying to be nice. I guess she didn't want her to feel to unwelcome, not like I had.
