[jadestar]

oh my Rory, you have a long vacation... COME BACK PLEASE AND UPDATE

I love your new fic, the title can mean anything and I'm so curios about Clarisse - who's this mysterious young lady???

[rorygilmore]

Sorry I made you wait so long. I’m at the beach right now and it’s not easy to get internet connection here. (I’ll try to update every monday, tuesday and wednesday bc those are the only days I can access to the net)
I’m happy you liked the beginning. You’ll know who Clarisse is soon. I’m going to leave little details in every update, that’ll help you to find out who she is.
About her name; Amyko is right: It’s KLER-IS; but also, other people pronounce it the way it’s written, just like Melinda and ladylockhart said (CLA-REESE)
Zelda: Hehe the Sherlock name was funny!

CHAPTER 2: "SAVED BY THE BELL"

DAYS LATER...
AT THE DINING ROOM; IN THAT MANSION IN NEW YORK...

“Ballet at 7:30. Then we’ll have breakfast with the Mayers, from 9:30 to 10 am. Then you have violin from 11:00 to 1:00pm. You’ll have lunch from 1:15 to 2:00pm. Then you have piano from 2:00pm to…blah..blah…blah…blah…
With a silver fork in her hand, Clarisse began playing with the food on her plate barely listening to her mother’s words. Great. She thought. I just came back from school and they want me to take more classes…I’m on vacations!
“Clarisse!!! Don’t play with your food” Her mother looked at her severely.
The little girl sighed “Sorry, mother”. All she wanted to do was to go back to her room and play …
“Clarisse, sit straight”
“Yes…mother”
“Clarisse, How many times have I told you to tie your hair before every lunch?”
“Many times, mother. It won’t happen again…mother” Callie brushed her brown, silky hair behind her ears.
“You look like a homeless tramp…Clarisse, did you just hear your schedule?” Her mother asked.
“Yes, mo-ther” Callie replied. She tired of listening…Clarisse here, Clarisse there …That was the only thing she didn’t like about being back. Her mother criticizing everything about her…and her father ignoring her most of the time; except when her mother was reprehending her. In that moment, her father was sitting at the head of the table, completely engrossed in the conversation he was having by cell phone with one of his business partners. Uh-uh…he wasn’t going to be able to save her this time.

Jonas, the butler was standing on one corner, he winked an eye at her and she smiled. There were few people she loved to be with when she was in America. One of them, was Jonas; he was so funny and kind, other was her hindi nanny; Ranya (her nanny number 43th; who had taken care of her since she was 6)... and the last one but most important of all, was her mysterious ‘Fairy’ Godfather…whom she had never seen in her life, but who would send her every birthday wonderful presents and every week would write a happy and funny e-mail.

“Clarisse Sophia Charlotte Camille Abigail Eloise!; I’m talking to you!” Her mother yelled.
Callie looked surprised at her mother. Did she actually said all her names? …that was baaad! “Sorry mother” Callie replied quickly. Since when her mother had enough brain to memorize all her names? Clarisse tried hard to hold a smile.
“Oh, give the poor girl a break” Her father closed his cell phone. His look was severe, but not to Clarisse, to her mother.
“She had a very long trip, right Clarisse?” He said in a serious tone.
Clarisse smiled “Yes, father... May I retire to my room?”
“You may.” Her father nodded. He was a good man but always too busy to spend some quality time with his daughter. He gave her everything she needed but it was sad he never showed her any affection. It was always a pat on the head, a new doll and …of course, saving her from her mother’s torturous voice. That's what he considered to show affection to his daughter.

Callie walked very calm out of the living room and after a few steps, she began to run. She climbed onto the marmol steps of the huge mansion and then stormed into her room. Ranya, her nanny was there getting her things fixed.
“Hi nana!” Clarisse slid on the rug and in a jump, she sat on her desk, opening her laptop.
“One of these days, you’re going kill yourself” Her nanny lcomplained, as she was folding her clothes.
“GOT MAIL! NANA!” Callie yelled “IT’S MY 'FAIRY' GODFATHER!!!”


CHICAGO, COUNTY GENERAL...

Abby walked into the doctors’ lounge to get ready to leave. She was tired, her back was killing her, her eyes were swollen…
“Hey” She said as she saw Carter closing his laptop and standing up.
“Going home?” He asked.
“Yes…happy?” She blurted out in a sarcastic tone.
Carter sighed “Look Abby…about today…I’m sorry but…”
“It’s okay, I understand” She raised her hand to stop him speaking.
But Carter continued “You know it’s not good to get too involved with patients and this one is spe…”
“I SAID It’s okay, Carter” She raised her voice a little “It’s your patient, you do whatever you want with her…see you tomorrow.”
Carter followed her out of the lounge “Don’t get mad, you know why we pushed you out…”
Abby stopped on her tracks “No, I don’t and you know what? I don’t really care. Hope you can get her a bed up in OB before she dies. Bye Carter.”

She walked out of the hospital, irritated, frustrated. Everything was fine until she recalled the litte incident they had in trauma 1. Luka and Carter were the attendings, Chuny and Haleh were there too and she, she was the resident who was kicked out of the place by her attendings and replaced by Neela.
Being replaced by Neela wasn’t the problem…the problem was…She sighed; the problem was the girl that had been admitted; a homeless young woman who tried to induce her labor using a hanger. She had talked to the girl days before, trying to convince her to get some help from social services; but she refused to, she said social services would made her give up her baby to strangers….

Abby stopped to cross the street, waiting for the cars to pass.
Give up her baby…Abby’s chest tightened, as an old, umcomprehensible wave of painful feelings began to touch her heart…Suddenly, a drop of water falling on her face pulled her out of that state…and then another, and the another…
“Oh no...” She groaned, looking up at the dark sky as drops of rain began to pour on her face like crazy.
“Great, this is really great…wonderful!” She mumbled, now she was sick about everything.
She ran through the streets thinking what a bad idea was to walk back home instead of taking the subway.
Not been able to see anywhere but at least knowing were was she heading, she ran up the steps of her building and she almost slid, when she felt a strong hand catching her.
She looked up to see a smiley Luka; who was barefoot, in his pajamas and soaked from head to toe, standing under the rain; apparently waiting for her.
“Hi” He grinned.
