A/N:okay so this idea struck me while I was listening to the song "Face Down" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and it seems like it would be a good story, so it's very angsty, and pretty sad. If you're disturbed easily, I wouldn't read. No, there isn't any "smut" just violence, that might be disturbing. I'm surprised it doesn't bother me to write this but this happens everyday, and I think it would be a good idea for a story, very very very dramatic. Okay now to the story. JAVAJUNKIE BABY! DIE CHRIS!

A/N2: I know, I know, I've got a lot going, but when a story hits me I can't just pass it up cuz then the idea leaves me. So please don't hate me. thanks.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore girls or the characters. I leave that all to ASP or DR whatever.

Chapter One…

The first time it happened, she hadn't thought anything of it. She knew he was upset, and hung over. She knew he loved her, and would never hurt her intentionally. She knew that he wouldn't do it again. This was just a one time thing, it's not like he did it all the time.

Lorelai was shocked, as the pain struck her in her right cheek. She placed a hand on the spot where there was surely to be a bruise. She winced as she gently touched it.

"Lorelai…" Chris spoke up as he saw the horrified look on Lorelai's face.

"I've…gotta go." Lorelai said still holding her cheek and quickly exiting his apartment, shoes in hand.

She walked out the door and leaned her back against the door, praying that he wouldn't come after her. She knew she had made a huge mistake, she had slept with the man. She had just been trying to get out of there as fast as she could, not giving it any time to sink in that she had just slept with him, and her and Luke had broken up the night before. She couldn't think about it, she would start bawling. She again touched the spot on her cheek that was starting to ache more and more. She got up, shoes in hand, and made her way out to her jeep.

She walked with her face down, avoiding any glances that Christopher's neighbors were sending her, knowing that they had probably slept together since she had stayed the night. And they assumed right.

She finally made it out to her jeep, trying her hardest not to think at all. To just sing songs through her head, happy songs, joyful songs, but none came to mind. Only depressing songs.

She climbed into the driver's seat and quickly flipped down the mirror to examine her newly developed bruise, it was turning light green, which wouldn't be too hard to cover up with lots of foundation, but hurt nonetheless.

She started the engine and made her way out of there as fast as she could, reminding her of the time that Chris and Sherry had come to visit around the time of Rory's debate at Chilton 4 years ago, and she and Rory had made it out of the parking lot so fast…Stop it Lorelai! You're torturing yourself by thinking about him! Just leave! Lorelai scolded herself and headed back for Stars Hollow.

Lorelai made into Stars Hollow much faster than she had expected, as she passed Luke's her heart ached, and pained. She had forgotten to avoid it, and just drove by. She looked out her window just in time to see Luke look up and run out from behind the counter to try and chase her down, but he was too slow, and Lorelai just sped up running the red light outside of Luke's, but not caring one bit.

She saw Taylor and Luke chasing after the jeep now Luke was much faster than Lorelai though, he kept up with her for a good fourth of a mile before he finally gave up and just stood in the middle of the street and watched her go, just like he had done last night, except this time at least he had somewhat chased after her. Last night, however, she would've stopped if he had come after her, she would've been joyful if he had come after her. But not now, now it was too late. He had let her go.

Lorelai pulled up to her house and got out of her jeep in silence, making her way to the door, still somehow holding back tears. She opened the door and was welcomed by Babette's scream, making Lorelai jump about 2 feet in the air.

"Babette! What are you doing here?" Lorelai asked tossing her keys on the side table by the door.

"Oh, I just saw that you weren't here and I heard Paul Anka doing that howling thing you said he does when he's hungry, so I came over and fed him." Babette explained.

"Oh, well thanks." Lorelai said, standing in front of Babette.

"So, did you stay the night with Sookie again?" Babette asked as she started folding the blanket she had been using.

"Uh, how did you—never mind… no I didn't." Lorelai said, walking over to her answering machine, absentmindedly hoping Luke had called.

"He hasn't left any messages." Babette called, catching her.

"Oh…" Lorelai said surprised, "How did you…"

Then Babette went into a long story about some girl choking on hotdogs and someone else encountering her and Luke's fight and reporting it back to Babette, Lorelai had zoned out after 4 hotdogs.

"Well, it's good to know she was more concerned with me and Luke when her friend was choking." Lorelai said, her voice drenched in sarcasm that Babette apparently didn't pick up on.

"Yeah, well…" Babette finished, and then there was a long awkward silence.

"So…" Lorelai said, hinting for Babette to leave.

"How, I'm just waiting for my delicates to finish…" Then she saw the look Lorelai gave her, "But I'll just pick them up later." Babette said getting up and leaving, Lorelai showed her to the door, and Babette turned around to get one more word in and she gasped as she finally saw the growing bruise on Lorelai's face.

"Oh my God honey! What happened?!" Babette said gently touching Lorelai's face, causing Lorelai to wince.

"Oh, you know, clumsy me." Lorelai lied.

"Oh…okay…" Babette said not pressing the issue.

"Bye Babette." Lorelai said and closed the door, Babette still standing there with a concerned look on her face.

"I've got to cover this thing up…" Lorelai said and quickly made her way to her bathroom to apply the make-up.

Lorelai had taken a shower, and gotten ready for work within the next hour and successfully covered up the bruise on her face that had grown to take up her whole right cheek. She checked it one more time in the mirror on her way out, and could still see some of it showing through the foundation she had applied, but she didn't have time to fix it, she was already late enough as it was.

She walked onto her porch but she saw the one person she did not want to deal with right now, or least one of the two. She tried to ignore him and make her way to her car without having to discuss anything, but he was determined. He cornered her against her jeep, she hadn't even been listening until then.

"You were just going so fast…" Luke said as Lorelai turned around to face him finally.

"Well that's me! I'm fast!" Lorelai said, getting frustrated.

"Lorelai…" Luke said, trying to get her to discuss this.

"No Luke, we're over, we were over last night! I don't want to talk about this, I'm late!" She said and climbed into her jeep, and quickly made her way out of the driveway and out to the inn.

Luke stood their defeated outside of the Gilmore house, wishing there was something left that he could do, but nothing came to mind. He had hurt her, and he knew it. And he hated being that person to cause her so much pain, because he hated anyone that ever hurt her. Now he was the one doing the hurting.

Lorelai made her way to the inn successfully blocking thoughts of Luke and the bruise on her cheek and it's causes out of her mind. She just knew she needed coffee in some form, now.

Lorelai walked into the Dragonfly kitchen to an upset Michel making his leave, and a victorious Sookie, she silently got coffee as Sookie continued to babble.

Lorelai couldn't block the thoughts anymore, the more Sookie babbled, the more Lorelai stopped listening and was consumed by her own thoughts. Luke…Christopher…the constant reminder of the hurt she had encountered in the past 24 hours on her face…

"Honey, what's wrong?" Sookie asked, finally noticing Lorelai was completely out of it.

"Me and Luke broke up." Lorelai said, emotionlessly.

"Oh honey…what happened?" Sookie asked concerned.

"We had a fight."

"But people fight all the time! It's actually healthy to fight! It's good for the skin, and you have such pretty skin. You have to fight to keep your skin pretty." Sookie insisted, not willing to accept that Luke and Lorelai were actually over.

"No Sookie, this was the fight. A big fight."

"Again, people have big fights, this isn't the end. He'll come back! He loves you." Sookie insisted again.

"No Sookie, you don't get it. I gave him an ultimatum and he turned me down. We're over."

"Again, like I said, he'll come back!"

"Sookie…it's like…he's driving a car. And, I want to at least be in the driver's seat, but no. He's locked all the doors, leaving me out. So I have to hang on to the bumper and last night I just had to let go of the bumper because it hurt so much! Being dragged along, not having a say in anything, just waiting for the car to stop and for him to open the door, but no. He never did. I need this. I need for this to be over." Lorelai illustrated for Sookie.

"I'm so sorry…" Sookie said and her and Lorelai hugged. Lorelai felt sobs coming on, but she couldn't let them. She couldn't let herself cry. That would show that she wasn't ready to let go, and she wanted to believe that she was. She wanted to believe it was over. She wanted to believe that it was right to sleep with Christopher. That's what she wanted.
