Hey Guys!
So I deleted this story a few days ago...and rewrote it.
I hope you guys still like it!

Post Partings of course. Because seriously...Lorelai doesn't need to marry Christopher.

Disclaimer: I don't own it...if I did...Christopher would have been shipped to the other side of the planet so he couldn't screw things up.


"I don't like ultimatums!" Luke said.

"I don't like Mondays," Lorelai said. "But unfortunately, they come around eventually."

Luke was shocked by this, to say the least.

"I can't just jump like this!" he told her, trying to reason with her. He was foolish enough to think it would work.

"Well…I'm sorry to hear that." Lorelai said as her heart broke into a million little pieces. "And…I have to go."

As she walked away, she prayed with every fiber of her being that he would come after her. But he didn't. She got into her jeep and drove aimlessly for what seemed like days before deciding there was only one place she could go.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------JJ-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Lorelai knocked on the door, she felt something she couldn't explain. Extreme…Hurt? Anger? Sadness? She couldn't place it. She wasn't even sure it qualified as an emotion. But as the door opened, all of the tears began to flow again and all she could think of was Luke.

"Hey Chris…" Lorelai said.

Chris looked at her in shock. He'd never seen Lorelai so…vulnerable and upset. He shook his head to clear it and pulled her into his arms.

As he lead her into his apartment, that feeling came flying back to Lorelai. He offered her a drink and after that, she couldn't really think about anything anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------JJ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lorelai awoke to the sounds of the door opening and a little voice saying something. She didn't really focus on that as much as she was focusing on figuring out where she was. As she felt a pair of arms wrap around her, someone kiss her bare shoulder, and a voice whisper "Good morning", she knew she had done something horribly wrong.

The arms around her weren't nearly as strong as the one's she was used to. When he kissed her, the lips weren't the soft one's that she loved so much. In fact, it made her feel downright dirty. And the voice…it definitely wasn't that sexy, masculine voice that she was used to. This one sounded sort of whiny and…childlike. Then…she finally realized where she was.

"Christopher?" Lorelai asked in a small voice. She was close to tears…so it was hard to choke any words out.

"Mm hmm?" he asked as he began to kiss her shoulders again.

Lorelai shuddered, and Christopher took that to be a good thing. He reached to kiss her on the mouth, but Lorelai jumped out of the bed and took the sheet with her. She frantically began to look for her clothes while muttering every curse word she could think of.

"Lor?" Chris asked. "What's wrong? Come back to bed…"

"No." Lorelai said. That was all she could say.

"What's wrong Lor?!" he asked. This wasn't the 'good morning' he was expecting. Not by a long shot.

Then, something in Lorelai snapped. "Damn it, Chris! Don't call me 'Lor'! My name is LORELAI. I quit being 'Lor' 20 years ago."

That ticked Christopher off too, "What is your problem? We just had an…amazing night together and you go crazy?"

"Maybe you had an amazing night," Lorelai began in a syrupy sweet (yet sarcastic) voice, "But I feel…I don't know. Not good."

"Lorelai…stop it. You know I love you," he said calmly. "I know you love me too."

Lorelai laughed. She'll never know why exactly, but she found that to be one of the most hilarious things ever. "I love Luke."

As she said those words, Lorelai realized that they would mean nothing after this. No matter how many times she said it, it wouldn't make the fact that she had just slept withChristopher go away. She shook her head as she slipped her dress back on. With tears flowing down her face she said it one last time before she walked out the door, hoping it would help her somehow. "I love Luke."

Chris called after her, but she kept walking. She didn't want to see him right now…or ever again for that matter. Right now, she wanted to get home, shower, and stay in bed for the rest of her life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------JJ--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Lorelai pulled up to her house the first thing she saw was Luke's truck. She looked around slowly and saw him sitting on her front porch staring at her. For a second she considered leaving. She had no where to go, but she didn't want to see Luke. Just thinking about telling him killed her. She was sure she'd die when he found out. She tried so hard to tell herself that Luke didn't care about her. He had let her go…right? He didn't want her anymore…so he won't care. She almost believed it too… But somewhere in the back of her head, a little voice was practically screaming every word Luke had said to her that made that so completely false. She couldn't leave. She needed a shower. She NEEDED to get the feeling of Christopher off of her skin.

Luke had been there for hours. He had left a note for Caesar to open and searched for her everywhere. The entire town knew about their fight by now…and their…break up? Luke refused to believe that they were broken up. The entire time he waited for her, he'd thought up a thousand ways to apologize and win her back. When she pulled up, any ideas or plans he had made were destroyed by the nervousness he felt. The feeling got worse each second she waited to get out of her jeep. As she opened her door and stepped out, Luke saw tears pouring from her eyes. He didn't notice that she hadn't looked directly at him yet, he just felt the overwhelming desire to comfort her the best that he could.

She had tried so hard not to cry, knowing that when she did, he would run to comfort her. She didn't deserve to be comforted by him. He didn't deserve anything he was getting from Lorelai. Her mother thought she was "too good" for Luke. What Emily would never understand was that Luke was far better than Lorelai could ever hope to be. When she stepped out of the jeep, the tears refused to be held back any longer. Just as she suspected, Luke came running to her side.

"Lorelai…" he began before he was overcome by a thousand emotions. "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you…I've been so worried. What's wrong?"

She still hadn't looked him in the eye, or the face at all for that matter. She tried to step past him and towards her house. Just before she made it to her porch, Luke had grabbed her arm and was pulling her around to face him.

"What happened?" he asked. The worry was all too apparent in his voice. Any anger he was feeling toward Lorelai was immediately gone and ready to be fired at whoever had hurt her.

She tried to smile and shake it off. "Nothing's wrong."

Luke didn't buy it. "Damn it, Lorelai."

He sighed and shook his head. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her as though he was trying to wake her up. "What happened?"

"You want to know what happened? Last night, I asked this guy that I LOVE to run away with me and get married. 'Cause you know…I thought he loved me too." Lorelai began, going into a rant mode that she and Luke were so prone to do. "But, no. He 'can't jump like that'. So I walked away…and I would have KILLED for the guy to chase after me. But I guess that once again just shows how much he 'loves' me."

By the end of that rant Lorelai was sobbing and Luke was in shock. She pushed past him and just as she got to her door she heard him say something.

"I do love you Lorelai," he said. "I'll do anything to prove it. We can go get married…right now. Whenever. I'll wait…I'll jump. I'll do anything."

"It's too late," Lorelai said. She wanted him to go away so she wouldn't have to tell him. She couldn't bear to see how he reacted, not right now.

"No. It's not too late," Luke said. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards his pickup. "Let's go…let's get married."

"No!" she shouted. "We can't. I don't deserve you."

"Why not?"

"I slept with Christopher last night," she said.

"What?" Luke asked as he jerked his hand away from her.

"I'm so sorry Luke…" Lorelai said. She looked at his face for the briefest second and hated herself for putting that look there.

Luke's heart had shattered. He hadn't felt this horrible in so long. He walked away from Lorelai, not daring to even glance at her. He was still in shock. Lorelai…HIS Lorelai…the woman he had waited so many years for…slept with HIM? The guy she knew he HATED. Was this her sick form of revenge…was she that mad at him? So mad that she would go this far to hurt him? He wanted to yell at her, curse at her, hit something. But most of all…Luke Danes wanted to cry.
