Nick(Jess Mariano fic)

Prologue

Everyone knows the story. Lorelai Gilmore got pregnant at 16, unwed, and left with her daughter.

What they don't know is that she had twins. No one knew that she had twins, not even Christopher.

She decided to take Rory and left the other at the hospital. The baby was quickly put into the foster system. She never got an official name, though, they called her Nick for No Good Nick.

In every and any foster home she's been in, she was always sent back for stealing. One day, she ran away and wound up in Stars Hollow, caught stealing from Luke's by Luke himself.

He took her in and she's been with him for about 2 years.
In those 2 years she's meet everyone in town, including Lorelai and Rory.

Nick still gets a few judging looks for her actions but she's still trying to fix her bad habits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14 year old Nick was drenched from the rain. Her hair sticking to her face with her hood on, black boots and field jacket soaked.

She quickly escaped from the pour by running into a diner called Luke's.

The diner had a few people inside, just enough for no one to pay attention to her,
"I'll be right there," said a man whose back was turned to her behind the counter.

She looked around, noticing that everyone was minding their own business.
Nick moved closer to the open cash register, slowly sticking her hand in.

She grabbed the cash and before she could rush for the door,
a hand grabbed her wrist,
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"

Of course, all eyes were on them now.
Nick looked up at the man with the backwards hat and he narrowed his eyes,
"Hey..."
Before he could say anything, she stepped on his foot and bolted out of there.

She ran blindly, the rain affecting her sight,
"Hey! Get back here!"
She looked behind and saw that the man was chasing her.

Nick wasn't paying attention and crashed into a wall,
"Damn!"
The man caught up to her and pinned her shoulders to the wall,
"Look here buddy! I don't know who you think you are but..!"

Nick's hoodie fell and her face was revealed, red eyes watering at the man yelling at her,
"You're...You're a kid?"

Nick doesn't respond, she just sniffles, trying to not seem weak,
"No, please don't cry. I'm- I'm sorry. Where are your parents, kid?"

"I don't have any..." she mutters, looking down at her soaked boots.
The man understood.
He saw the small silver heart locket around the girl's neck.

"You got a place to stay?"
She shakes her head.
With a nod, he said, "I figured. My name's Luke. You can stay with me for some time."

Nick's eyes brightened.
"I'm Nick."
