A/N: Oh how I wish this is what really happened at the end of season 6. Seriously someone needs to rewrite all of seasons 6 and 7 because they just weren't as great!
As Lorelai walked away from Luke to her Jeep she couldn't help but keep thinking about what he said. How could he choose his daughter over her? Yes April was an important part of his life now but she was too. She felt the first tear slide down her face and quickly wiped it away. She didn't want anyone to see her crying. She got into her Jeep and started driving. She had no idea where she was going, all she knew was that she was going. She was on the highway when she decided to turn on her radio because the silence made her keep thinking about the recent fight with Luke. When she turned the radio on, it was to a country station. She didn't normally listen to country but she had found a few months earlier that there were actually country songs that she could relate to. So she was surprised when the DJ said there was an old song coming on the radio.
On a highway bound for nowhere
I ran my fingers through my tangled hair
As I pulled in for another tank of freedom
With a hundred miles behind me and a million more to go
I was tryin' to put some distance between us
I turned on the radio and a voice came over sweet and low
And I didn't know the tears were gonna start
What amazed me even more is I'd never heard the song before
But somehow I knew each word by heart
Funny, this is like what I'm doing, she thought as she pulled into a deserted gas station. She stopped the car but didn't turn the engine off. She needed to hear the rest of the song. In a way she was bound for nowhere and she needed to put some distance between her and Luke. She decided that she'd drive until she found an inn to stay at just for the night. She didn't need to be gone too long, because everyone would worry and it wouldn't really be fair to Paul Anka if mommy was gone too long. She leaned back in her seat and listened to the song and as she listened the tears started falling more.
And I don't know why, I don't know how
But with his song he turned my life and this old car around
Just when I thought I was over you
He changed my mind with three chords and the truth
Found a pay phone at a truck stop
Said a prayer as the quater dropped
Oh, please be home, I know that I was wrong
Honey, don't talk, just listen
I think I found what I was missin'
In a song I heard tongiht on the radio
Lorelai listened as the singer sang the chorus again and then the song ended. She got out of the car and started filling the Jeep up with gas. She looked around at her surrondings. Then in the distance she saw a pay phone. She quickly grabbed some money and as soon as the tank was full she went to the pay phone and dialed that all too familiar number. It rang four times and finally Luke answered. "Luke, don't say anything okay?" Lorelai told him. "But I was wrong to walk away from you like that tonight. I just-I lost it back there. I thought I was going to lose you again and I didn't want that. But I was driving and I heard this song on the radio and it made me realize that what I need to do is talk to you about how I've been feeling all these months." She told him she'd be back soon and after she hung up she got into the Jeep and turned it around to drive back to Stars Hollow. She and Luke needed to spend some days talking, well she needed to do the talking but hopefully this would help them get back on track and finally plan a future together.
