Chapter 5- When There's No Other Choice

"Richard we need to call the police," Emily told her husband.

"And what let them arrest you? You kicked her out!" Richard pointed out.

"We have been over this already! I didn't mean to."

"She's a minor. We are responsible for her."

"I'm sure there is something we can do."

"Like what?"

"Check the hospitals or something. See if anyone found her. Call her friends. For all we know she could be dead."

"The only friend we knew of was that Hanson's girl."

"Call Christopher up," Emily suggested.

"We already know she's not with him."

"What are we supposed to do now? Sit around and wait like a fool? My daughter could be hurt!!"

"So now you think about that? Where was that when you kicked her out? She is never going to want to come back. If she is hurt, then what are we going to do? She'll for sure refuse to come back to the house." He stormed off to his study.

"Richard comes back here!"

-Two weeks later

It was now December 10th as Christmas decorations were in sight everywhere. You would think the Christmas sprit might lift some people's sprit, but instead it was quite the opposite. Lorelai had been on a job hunt for 10 days now. Not a single person was willing to hire inexperience sixteen year old with a baby.

-X-

"I'm sorry. We found someone yesterday," a skinny woman with blond hair told Lorelai.

-X-

"Do you have any experience?" A man in his late 40's interviewed her.

"Um, no."

"I'm sorry I cannot help you."

"I understand. Thank you."

-X-

"I'm sorry we need someone with an education," a old, wrinkly cold person told her.

"Ok thanks."

-X-

"Will your daughter be joining you to work?" A perky man in a suit asked.

"Yes, I don't have anyone who could keep her."

"Oh, that might cause a problem."

"Ok, I appreciate your time. I'll let myself out," She said, gathering her things. She was used to the reaction by now.

-X-

"Lorelai I think you got the job," the old woman congratulated her.

"Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means."

"Ok, now I just need you to fill out these forms." She handed her a clipboard.

Lorelai took a look at the forms.

"Excuse me, but I can't fill out an address or contact number quite yet."

"Oh, um, sweetie, I don't think this position is available to you." The woman uneasily responded, not knowing what to say.

-X-

She went anywhere there was a job available. However, nothing was the result at the end of job hunt.

"Sorry sweetie, maybe tomorrow will be luckier."

"She knew that there wouldn't be a tomorrow at this rate. She didn't have a resume, recommendations or a house. Worst of all she was getting down to her last dollars. There wasn't much she could do now, but pray.

-Evening-

That night Lorelai was sitting on a bench as if she was patiently waiting for a ride.

A group of guys had been watching for sometime now. They all decided that it was time to go and have a little chat with the young girl with baby.

"Hey there," a guy who looked pretty tough all in black spoke first.

"Hi," she said trying to be polite.

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing sitting in the cold?"

"Waiting for someone," Lorelai simply replied.

"How about we sit with you?" The guy referred to the guys that were along with him.

"How about you don't?" She tried to set him straight.

"Oh come on. You are alone."

"I'm not alone."

"Come on," he pushed her.

"Oh no thanks." She got up with her things and Rory and started to walk away when one of the other girls stood in front of her. She tried to walk around, but they had all gathered around her.

"Let me through!"

"How about you come with us?"

"You really don't like no for an answer do you?"

"No, we don't like no. So you better say yes. So who is this little one?" The guy tried to take Rory away.

"Don't touch her!"

"Sweetie you are fine. Did anyone tell you that?" One of the others behind her said.

"What do you guys want? Is it money? Well I don't have any! So please leave me alone." Lorelai pushed through, but one of the guys once again towered over her.

"We want you," the first guy said.

"No way!"

"Is she saying no to us boys?"

"I believe she is Doc."

"And what do we do to those who say no?"

"Will we seriously go through?" Another guy said.

"I guess we will have to." He took his fist and hit her across Lorelai's face, pushing her back into one of the other guys. They pushed her hard back to the other guy."

"Stop! Please stop!" she pleaded trying to fight back.

"Sorry."

"Please don't her the baby. You can do whatever you want to me but please, please don't do anything to my baby.

"Fine, we won't do anything to her, only if you let us have our way."

"Ok."

Yeah, I know it's a little harsh, but the streets are crazy. You never know. I mean Ross got mugged by Phoebe on Friends, although the outcome of this is not going to be the same as that.Oh and Luke will be in the story sooner than a thought. Like chapter 7 soon.

Longer chapter if I get more Reviews.

So please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.
