AN: I told you there would be more regular updates. I'm not sure if the e-mail system on the website is working because I haven't gotten any so just watch out for this story. I'm sorry this chapter was supposed to be up last night but my girlfriend broke up with me so there was a small delay. Look for a couple more updates this weekend. Thanks for all the reviews.

Chapter 13: More Talking
"You nervous?" Luke asked as they walked down the stairs.
"A little" Lorelai whispered as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Sookie's mood changed from mad to worried once she saw the state that Lorelai was in.
'She must be sick' Sookie thought rationally even though in her heart she knew that it was something bigger.
"Sorry for not calling" Lorelai apologized not looking at Sookie.
"It's alright, are you o.k.?" Sookie asked very concerned for her best friend.
"I'm as good as I can be" Lorelai said still not looking at Sookie.
'Something is wrong' Sookie thought. "Did anything happen to you?" she asked afraid of the answer.
"Something did happen" Lorelai said, she really didn't want to say anything about this to Sookie but she knew that she had to. In Lorelai's mind she knew that Sookie wouldn't treat her different but she was still afraid.
"What happened?" Sookie asked taking Lorelai's silence as a sign that she should say something.
"I was raped" Lorelai said as quickly and as quietly as she could.
"What?" Sookie asked being sure that she heard Lorelai right.
"You heard me" Lorelai said turning away from Sookie, she really didn't want to say those words again unless she absolutely had to.
"When…when did it happen?" Sookie asked going over to Lorelai to try and get her to talk to her.
"A couple days ago" Lorelai said still not looking at Sookie; she was too embarrassed to even face her.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sookie asked gently touching Lorelai on the shoulder.
"I was embarrassed" Lorelai said, finally looking at Sookie.
"Why were you embarrassed?" Sookie asked.
"Because I was afraid that you would look at me different or you wouldn't believe me" Lorelai said now realizing how illogical those excuses sound and looked away in shame.
"Honey, I would have helped you" Sookie said putting her hand on Lorelai's shoulder.
"I know but I guess I just didn't want to believe that anything happened" Lorelai said crying as she turned around and looked at Sookie who had silent tears running down her own face.
"Don't worry I'll help you get through this" Sookie said reassuring Lorelai that she was here for her.
Lorelai just nodded, on the one hand she was happy that Sookie knew but on the other hand she was still afraid that Sookie might not treat her the same as before.
"Just don't tell anyone else" Lorelai said, she had to be sure that no one else knew what happened, she just couldn't deal with it yet.
"I promise I won't tell anyone else" Sookie promised.
"Not even Jackson?" Lorelai asked to be on the safe side.
"Not even Jackson" Sookie promised meaning every word.
Lorelai just nodded she was tired. 'Why do I have to be so tired?' she asked herself as she brushed away more tears. 'Why do I even cry? All it does is make me tired' she mused.
"Do you want me to leave?" Sookie asked seeing how tired Lorelai looked.
Lorelai thought it over for a minute, "Yeah, I need sleep" she said.
Sookie just nodded, "I'll be over later with some food for you" she said.
"Thanks, I'd really like that" Lorelai said truthfully she didn't feel like cooking and she didn't want Luke to cook and leave her alone.
"Alright, I'll be over later do you need anything else?" Sookie asked.
"No, I'm fine I just need some time alone" Lorelai said.
"Alright, I'll be back later" Sookie said leaving the house.
"You o.k.?" Luke asked carefully slowly walking up to Lorelai.
"As good as I can be" Lorelai said sighing, sitting down and looking at Luke.
"You know that I still love you" Luke said wondering what her response would be.
"I know" Lorelai said with a small smile. Even after she had been broken Luke could still make her like a queen.
"Do you need anything?" Luke asked, he would gladly get anything for her.
Lorelai sighed, "No I'm fine, the only thing I can think of is maybe getting Rory back here I should talk to her, I'm going upstairs to sleep" she said as she went upstairs to bed.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Luke said getting up and answering the door, he was surprised to find Chris on the other side of the door.
"Can I come in?" Chris asked a little bit nervous.
"What are you doing here?" Luke asked just surprised that he was here, not mad or angry.
"I want to talk to Lorelai" Chris said inviting himself in.
"She's asleep right know" Luke said not sure if it was true or not.
"I can wait" Chris said not really sure how to handle this situation.
"So how's she doing?" Chris asked walking around the house.
"She's doing as well as she can be doing" Luke answered.
"You can be mad at me if you want" Chris said out of the blue as he sat down on the couch.
"For what?" Luke asked.
"For calling her, for not walking her to her car" Chris rambled he was visibly shaken over the events of the past view days.
"It's not your fault" Luke said knowing that it really wasn't Chris's fault.
"If you say so" Chris said.
They sat there in silence for a minute before Luke asked the one question that was still on his mind.
"Was Lorelai really raped before?" Luke asked.
Chris took a deep breath before answering, "Yeah, does she know that Rory knows?" he asked.
"Yeah, but Lorelai says that she wasn't raped before" Luke said.
A look of disbelief came over Chris's face as he processed what he had just been told.
"I think it's a repressed memory and she just doesn't want to admit it to herself" Luke said trying to get Chris to say something.
"That makes sense" Chris mumbled out.
Just then they heard someone coming down the stairs, "Who's here Luke?" Lorelai asked.
When Lorelai got to the bottom of the stairs she was shocked to see Chris there.
"Chris what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked.
"Lor, we need to talk" Chris said as he got up to talk to Lorelai.
