A.N. This is my first Gilmore Girls story. A Oneshot songfic. These are the Reba/Kelly lyrics of Because of You. I just picture Lorelei/Rory and Lorelei/Emily when I hear this song.
(Rory's POV)
"Mom! I'm not you! I'm not going to get pregnant at sixteen!" I exclaimed.
All I did was stay out all night! We fell asleep reading! It's not like we made love at Miss Patty's all night.
"Ouch! That hurts Rory!" Lorelei said hurt.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
"It should hurt Mom! Because of you I'm too sheltered! Because of you I won;t take any risks! Because of you I'm still a virgin!"
"Oh its my fault you haven't had sex with anyone in your sixteen years of life!" exclaimed Lorelei.
"No, Its your fault I don't trust myself or my friends! I don't even trust Dean!"
"I'm sorry you feel that way, Rory, but I have my right to worry!"
"Well you don't have the right to make me afraid to live my life!" I yelled upset.
"Actually as your mother I do."
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
(Flash to a scene of Emily and Lorelei. Written in Lorelei's POV.)
"I don't need you pointing out every mistake I make, mother!" I screamed clearly annoyed at how she thinks she can control who I date.
"Lorelei Gilmore, Do not speak to me like that!" shouted Emily.
"Mom! I have to go because I can't cry in front of you. I have to fake my happiness, and I'm done with that!" I exclaimed.
"Don't you dare leave right now!"
"I would say that possibly broke my heart in some way, shape, or form. But it's impossible for a heart to brea when it wasn't even whole to start with," I said emotionally.
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
"Don't you pull that kind of crap with me young lady," said Emily.
"Mother! It's because of you I find it hard to trust people. Because of you I am afraid," I state simply.
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
(Flash back to Rory and Lorelei again. Rory's POV)
"Mom! I heard you cry every night in your sleep! You should have known better than to lean on me! All you think about is yourself! Your so god damn selfish! Now I cry for the same damn thing!" I screamed.
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For that same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
"Because of you," I said.
Because of you
(Switch to Lorelei/Emily.)
"Because of you.." said Lorelei.
Because of you
