A Thousand Miles
Disclaimer- I don't own anything Gilmore Girls, Vanessa Carlton or anything!
Just a two chapter fluff about some reflecting done by both Luke and Lorelai while they where separated….
Stupid Christopher ruining everything,
Stupid mother always in the way,
Stupid me, always pushing to far.
Lorelai started crying again, thinking once again of the events that had transpired over the last few days… she let her self float back into the memories……
"…... Here are your donuts." He said handing her a paper bag with donuts, of all varieties, wishing she would for once eat something non-sugar based.
"Thank you." Woot donuts!
"And your coffee" Black Death, why I continue to serve her is beyond me….
"Thank you." Mummmm Black Gold, my life, yay caffeine
"And my final plea to not make me go to this thing tomorrow." He knew this was a futile attempt to get out but hey it was worth a try….
Lorelai pondered this, what is the best way to guilt him in to going, aha! "You do not have to go."
"Fine, I'll go."
"I love it when I break you with just the sheer anticipation of a
wear-down!" score 1 for me!
…Back to now, why did I push him, my parents and he don't mix well, why……. She floated back into her memories of just a few days before…..
"Lorelai and I Belong together! Everyone knows it, I know it... Emily knows it!" a very drunken Christopher yelled.
No Chris Don't, Don't come and ruin everything, not all over again! Lorelai thought to her self Please just shut up now she felt as though she was going to cry…
"What!" a evidently stunned Luke retorted
"Look, I blew it, okay? I know that I blew it. You waited, and I didn't come through, and now you're with him. But it's not too late!" Christopher said, he just kept driving the stake between Lorelai and Luke deeper, pushing him farther from her…
"Chris…Don't" Lorelai pleaded, stop, just stop! She thought, Oh god this is it….
"It's not too late. I know it's not too late. Emily told me it wasn't too late! I mean, that's why I'm here, okay? I know you're with him. But it's for now, it's not forever. It's just for now. I know that." Christopher just kept pounding, to drunk to realise how much this was killing Lorelai, who unlike Christopher realised how much it hurt her….. How much it hurt Luke.
"Luke, I don't know what he's talking about!" Lorelai knew this wasn't going to help, well chances are it wouldn't but she would try anything… anything was better then losing Luke.
"I got to get out of here" Luke turned around and walked furiously down the hall, wondering what he'd down to deserve this, he should have known better, to much baggage was associated with Lorelai and her family, but Love would prevail if it was meant to be, right?
….That wasn't her fault entirely, but she should have known with Chris there she should have just left, left before he got a hold of the stake and mallet, before he got a hole of the vodka, before he ruined everything…
"Fine. You want to know what I'm thinking right now? That I can't be in this relationship. It's too much". Luke just walked away from her, she could tell it hurt him to say that but she had hurt him more the previous night, and she was sure she'd hurt him a lot. She was familiar with the feeling of being betrayed by the one person you thought you could always trust and lean on, could this be the end? She thought; please don't let it be the end…….
The wedding her parents…. The market…..she'd pushed she always pushed those around her, this time she'd just pushed the wrong person to far, and look wear it landed her, here alone on her couch with nothing but a dead remote and her radio.
She flicked on the radio, hoping that it would be something uplifting and happy, hopefully not about love.
It turned out to be an inspiration to her, she listen to the song and when it finished she bolted off the couch and started running toward the diner…
'Cause
you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see
you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
Were the last words she heard from her house, she knew what had to be done……..
