A/N: Hey I'm back with another story! Of course it is Luke/Lorelai what else would it be? Ha! Anyways. This takes place after Chris and Lorelai come back form Paris, and after Luke found our about Lorelai and Chris eloping. Please be nice J
Lorelai walked down the street early that morning, it was a wonder why she was even awake at that hour. It was only 5 in the morning and she was up and ready. She and Chris had gotten married a month before, and just a week ago her ex-fiancé had found out. The whole town knew by now and weren't to open with the idea of another man in Lorelai's life besides Luke, but that's what she had chosen.
She wrapped her scarf around her neck more securely, since it was a cold spring morning. She wrapped her jacket tightly around her as she looked toward the center of town where the gazebo stood; the same gazebo where her and Luke took a toast to their engagement. Lorelai cursed herself silently for even getting out of bed that morning. Chris was away picking up Gigi, and this was the perfect time to just relax.
Lorelai continued walking down the sidewalk until she stood in front of Luke's. She looked inside and nobody was in there. She wiped away a couple tears that were already forming in her eyes and continued walking. She looked down the alleyway that separated Luke's from the homes behind it and took a sudden breath. Luke was standing there unloading boxes from a delivery truck. He looked up and their eyes met. For a second she could see confusement and then it turned to anger. The resentment in his eyes made her turn away to look down at her feet. She could feel him coming closer to her and she looked up to see him standing around 6 feet away from her.
" Hey." She whispered uneasily.
" Hi." He returned in an irritated voice. " You're out early." He noticed.
" Yeah. Couldn't sleep." She said looking down.
" Huh." He nodded. " I have to get these inside, so if you will excuse me..." He said motioning to the boxes and then looking up. "…Mrs. Hayden." He said hastily.
Lorelai clenched her eyes shut. " I'm sorry." She whispered as he turned around.
" For what?" He asked a little loudly as he turned around.
" For everything. I am sorry. This isn't how I wanted things to end." Lorelai told him with pleading eyes.
" You mean you didn't want to marry Chris?" he asked in disgust. Lorelai flinched when he said Chris.
" No. I mean Yes. I mean… God Damnit Luke!" She said frustrated. She put her hands to her head and rubbed her eyes as if she had a headache.
" I'm sorry Lorelai, I am just trying to figure out what the hell you are talking about. You didn't want it to end up like this? With you marrying him?" He asked.
" NO!" Lorelai yelled back. " I wanted to marry you!!" She cried.
" Then you shouldn't have slept with him." Luke said.
" I was ready to marry you! You had your chance! I begged you to marry me! And you said no! You did Luke! I was ready." Lorelai cried.
" So you went to him because I couldn't elope with you? You want to know WHY I wouldn't elope! Because I knew you would regret it! You would regret not having Rory, Sookie, Your parents, and everyone from town there. I would regret not having April there. You regret eloping with Chris don't you? Don't you wish Rory would've been there?" Luke asked yelling. Lorelai just looked at the ground crying.
" That's what I thought Mrs. Hayden." He said for the second time that night.
" I am NOT Mrs. Hayden!" Lorelai yelled. Luke just shook his head and began to walk away.
" I wanted to be Mrs. Danes!" Lorelai yelled after him. Luke turned back to see her crying.
" I wanted you to be Mrs. Danes too." He whispered.
Lorelai looked up from her feet and stared at Luke. She didn't know what to say to that.
Luke silently cursed himself for saying that louder than how he intended on saying it. Luke took a step back when Lorelai took a step forward. He shook his head. This can't be happening. Both were thinking.
