CHAPTER FOUR,
GILMORE GIRLS !

❝ gilmore girls? ❞

"THANK YOU, officers. It wont happen again we swear." Clara promised the two policemen.

The teens sat behind the parents, waiting to get the lecture of their lives while Tanner sat on the stairs.

The officers nodded, "Right." one of the officers opened the door and walked out, the other following behind. "Have a good night!" Heather said, shutting the door behind them.

As soon as the door shut Victore turned around and faced his kids. "How could you guys be so irresponsible. You both know better than this! You all should!"

"Dad, it wasn't a big deal-" Ethan stepped closer to his dad but was cut off mid sentence.

"Wasn't a big deal?" He asked. "Yes." Ethan answered. "I would say getting picked up by the cops for underage drinking is a pretty big deal." Pete added.

"Me and Bee weren't drinking!" Walker defended. Heather ignored her son's comment, "Your oldest Leena. How could you not call us!"

"How is this my fault!?"

"When did you leave the house without telling us?! And what the hell are you wearing?!" Clara asked her daughter.

"I got it at the mall." Isabella said, covering her self up with August sweater. "And why am i the only one that's not allowed to go out?" The brunette asked.

"It's not that you're not allowed, it's that you should've told you were going! How'd you even get there?"

"I walked." Isabella mumbled.

"Jesus. You know better than to walk alone on the street! Especially at night!"

"Can you stop treating me like a kid?!"

"The dont act like one!"

Isabella sighed and clenched her jaw. "Look, why don't we all just go to bed. We can talk about this tomorrow."

      ISABELLA LAY sprawled on her bed, the soft glow of her laptop illuminating her face as she watched an episode of Gilmore Girls.

She smiled as she saw Rory Gilmore gracefully descend the staircase at her debutante ball, looking poised and elegant.

The scene struck a chord with Isabella, reminding her of the invitation that had been sitting on her nightstand for weeks.

She paused the episode and glanced over at the crisp, white envelope. The decision had been weighing on her mind for some time now.

Did she really want to go through with it? The idea of being presented in front of so many people made her nervous, but there was also a part of her that was curious and excited about the experience.

Isabella sat up and reached for the invitation. She opened it and read through the details once more, her mind racing with thoughts of what it would be like.

After a moment of contemplation, she made up her mind. She would do it.

With a determined smile, Isabella grabbed a pen and checked the box next to 'Accept with pleasure.'

It was a decision she felt good about, and she couldn't wait to see what the experience would bring.

Isabella placed the invitation back on the side of her bed and unpaused the episode. After a few minutes, someone knocked on her door.

Isabella got up and opend the door, seeing Walker holding a bag of peas.

"Do you need something?" She asked. Walker shook his head, "Can I come in?"

Isabella nodded slowly and walked over to her bed. Walker stepped into her room and shut the door behind him.

He followed closely behind the girl, his footsteps barely making a sound on the carpeted floor. Taking a seat on her bed, he handed her a small, cold bag of peas. "Here," he said, his voice gentle yet firm.

Isabella tilted her head, a puzzled expression crossing her face. "For your eye," he explained, noticing her confusion.

"Oh, thanks." Evelyn took the bag, her fingers fumbling slightly as she tried to figure out how to position it without causing more discomfort.

"Here, let me help..." Walker said softly, taking the bag from her hands. He gently placed it against her swollen eye, his touch light and careful. Isabella winced slightly.

"Sorry!" he whispered, his voice full of concern.

"It's fine," she replied, looking up at him. Their eyes locked, and for a moment, the room was filled with a charged silence. Isa cleared her throat, breaking the spell.

"Uhm, I think I can hold it," she said softly. Walker nodded and released the bag, allowing her to press it against her face.

His gaze wandered over to her computer, and he chuckled softly. "Gilmore Girls? Really, Bee? It's the start of summer."

Isabella shrugged nonchalantly. "So? I can and will watch this whenever I want," she replied with a sassy tone.

Walker laughed, the sound warm and infectious. "Of course you will," he said, his eyes drifting to her lips for a brief second before meeting her gaze again.

"I'll see you tomorrow," he said, standing up. But before he could leave, Isabella reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Can you stay? You can keep me company 'til the end of the episode at least," she asked, her voice soft and hopeful.

Walker smiled and sat back down. "Of course, Bee," he said, leaning against her. Isabella smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.

Walker wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer. The two sat in comfortable silence, the glow of the computer screen casting a warm light over them as they watched the show together.
