Continuation of "Say Something"

Lorelai's POV-

I saw the hurt look on his face when I told him he'd never have to endure any of my crazy antics any more and I don't know why I didn't stop him then. But all I did was climb up the stairs and crawl into bed.

"Rory." I moaned into the phone after dialing that oh so familiar number.

"Mom? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Um, no. I called Luke."

"And you said what?"

"I told his answering machine that I was remembering some stupid movie we watched together and I begged him to come over."
"Oh, mom…"

"That's not all. I realized that I can't be the girl that cries to get her ex back so I ran to Luke's, got the spare key above the door and went in and stole his machine tape."

"Oh, mom…"

"That's not all either. I walked back home and he was coming out of the house and he looked so worried like something happened to me. And he looked hurt when I told him he wouldn't have to deal with nutty Lorelai any more."

"Is that it?" she asked after a long pause.

"Yeah."

"Just checking. I think that you need to really talk to him mom. Without crying, with out stalkerish references and without fighting. Just tell him that you can't be without him. He'll take it for what it's worth mom. I promise."

"How do you know?"

"Mom, its Luke. It's always been Luke. This guy is like my dad and I know him better than most. So just tell him. Go into the diner tomarrow morning and tell him. Make him listen. Make out in front of Miss Patty and order coffee. Everything will work out I promise. Or I'll drop out of school and take care of you full time. We'll try out that whole girl band idea. Okay?"

"Okay. I love you, kiddo."
"I love you too, Mom. Get some rest. Big day ahead of you."

"Bye."

Rory's POV-

"Bye Mom." I hung up the phone.

"Is she okay?" Logan asked. I was still standing in front of him in his room.

"She'll be fine. She just did some Gilmore-y stuff today."

He sat on his couch and I followed suit. "Are you okay? You seemed a little miffed when you got here."

"Yeah. Everything's fine. I was just so mad that you didn't wanna spend any time alone with me. That's all."

"Are you losing your mind, Ace? Out of all the people here tonight, out of all the people at Yale, you are the only person worth my alone time. But I didn't wanna be rude and I'd rather see you in a group as opposed to not seeing you at all, so I said you could hang out."

"Oh." I felt pretty stupid.

"If you want me to try this commitment thing, you gotta be willing to hang with my fan club too." He smiled that stupid smile and I knew he was right.

"Okay. But not all the time. I get to be greedy and keep Mr. Huntzberger all to myself sometimes."

"It's a done deal, Ace. But, I have to go outta town for a couple of days." I frowned. "I promise as soon as I get back, I will be all yours for a couple days."
"Okay, if I have to."

"Yeah, you do. But, maybe you could go and help your mom. She doesn't seem alright and I know when I'm down the thing to cheer me up is my Ace." He smiled sincerely and touched my face.

"Fine. I'm sure my mom will appreciate it. I should probably go. You must have a lot of packing to do." I went to get up and he pulled me back down.

"Well, I don't have that much to pack. I could hold off til tomarrow if you wanted to stay the night."

"Would that be okay with you?"

"I insist." He kissed me and led me to bed.

The next morning; Lorelai's POV-

I stood in front of the mirror for what must have been the millionth time this morning. And I still looked horrible. Everything was wrong. I needed to find something that Luke would see the old me in. The one before my parents wedding. Nearly an hour and a half later, I decided on something he's seem me in at least a dozen times, but it's the one that just makes me feel confident that Luke will remember that I'm still me.

After my usual walk to Luke's, I open the diner door and there he is, the most amazing guy I've ever known. The man of my dreams. I set my purse down on the counter and take a seat.

"I need you. And that's hard because the only person I've ever needed is Rory, but for the longest time Luke, I've needed you and you were always there. I took it for granted and I'm sorry. It's the worst decision I've made in my entire life, Hun. I can't be without you and it feels like I can't breathe. Gimme my lungs back, Luke. I need you, you're my metaphorical lungs." I sat there in silence for a while. Luke rounded the corner and I was sure he was going to serve someone coffee but he came over and grabbed me. Everything was right in my world. Nothing else mattered.

"I've missed you." Luke whispered to me.

"I think I know how you feel. But you function better under heartbreak then I do so, imagine it a little worse and add some heels. That's how I feel."

"I love you, Lorelai, more than anything else I've ever known. You gave me what no one else could." He starred at me with such intensity that I had to look away. "Go." After my blank stare, he continued. "Go, get the stupidest movies, find the worst junk food, and take a long hot bath. I will be over at five and I expect to see you in pajamas. You got it?"

"Will you eat the junk food?"

"Why the hell not? You only live once." I wanted this man in my life forever and I needed to show him that tonight. I had a plan.

Rory's POV-

"Mmmm, good sleep." I rolled over and saw Logan looking directly into my eyes.

"I agree. See you don't have to have sex with me to get into my comfy bed." He laughed at me.

"Very funny. This is the most relaxed I've been in such a long time. Are you sure you wanna give this up and leave? "

"I don't want to, have to. The Huntzberger heir must be there for the opening of the new paper in California. If I'm lucky I'll to cut a ribbon or something."

"Oh, well, I can see why one would wanna leave their half naked beautiful….." I stopped myself short of girlfriend, not knowing how it would be taken.

"Girlfriend, Ace?" he finished for me.

"Depends."

"On?"

"If you'll have me?" I answered meekly and blushed.

"I'd be stupid not to. But I have some things to tell you."

"Oh, serious face."

"Don't mock. I have never done this before. I might screw up and I don't wanna hurt you, Ace."

"I'm a big girl Logan. Don't worry."

"But I do. You mean the world to me now and I've known you less then a year. I can only imagine how much I'll feel for you after two."

"I know how you feel." I replied, sullenly, hoping that he wasn't going to break up with me.

"Then, you know I wanna see you exclusively and give you….." he reached into his nightstand and came back with a ring box. "….this."

"Um, well, thanks."

"You didn't open it yet."

"I think I know what's in there."

"Open it." I opened it and saw not an engagement ring but a small, light green diamond ring. I couldn't say anything. "I promise to be there for you, thick and thin, Ace, as long as you don't toss me out after I make a mistake, which will happen."

"It's beautiful. Thank you." I took it out of the box and put it on my right hand.

"No." he said and pulled my hand away. He took off the ring and placed it on my left ring finger. "A promise of what tomarrow will bring us."

"I love you."

"I love you too, Ace."

Love it? Hate it? I need feedback people… so tell me what's going on in those crazy Gilmore obsessed minds…. thnx
