Hi Everyone! This is my newest story! Its called Someone Like You, its based kind of off the song by Adele. It's a little thought that popped into my head, so I hope you all enjoy!
It had been 4 months, 13 days, 10 hours, and 12 minutes since it ended, since he chose never. He can yell that it was her fault that things ended because she was the one that issued the ultimatum, but Lorelai was the first to point out that he let her walk away. He could at least followed her or said he loved her. She was his fiancée the very least he could have done was say "I love you" but he didn't. He watched her walk away clearly distraught. She had forgotten to give him the ring back, she guesses that would have made it official, but she never gave the ring back. That was hers and hers only, no one could take that ring from her, not even him. That night she sat in her house and cried. She moved her furniture around, she threw all his clothes out the window, she screamed and cussed out loud, she pulled herself up and walked with all the dignity she had left and went to sleep. He came by the next morning and yelled at her, told her that her ultimatum was unfair but that he still thought they should be together. Her eyes were cold, she told him that she couldn't because he no longer made her act like herself. He didn't understand and she just went back inside. He was too angry to follow her; he decided that blaming her was much easier than blaming the one at fault. Later they ran into eachother at the super market, she told him that he belongs with someone else, someone that he didn't want to hide his kid from, he said he was sorry but Lorelai could tell he didn't mean it. He saw the ring still on her finger and she could see the tiny bit of hope boil up inside of him. "Sorry, I forgot to take it off" she said and gave it to him. He took it and shoved it in his pocket but not without hesitating first. That was the last time they spoke. They both avoided each other around town and had even managed to not see each other until today. He had his arm draped around some woman and April stood beside him with a huge smile on her face. He whispered something into the woman's ear and she giggled. Lorelai was about 10 feet away and when his eyes caught hers, he immediately turned away. He saw the hurt written all over her face and he had to look away. Lorelai had too much pride by now to turn around and not go where she had planned on going, just because he was going there as well with someone new. "Hi Lorelai, how are you?" Taylor asked from behind his register at Dose's "I'm doing great" she lied and went off to find her object of purpose. Shortly after Luke came in, without April or the unfamiliar woman, he decided to seek out Lorelai. He went up each isle with no result until he found her in the last one, looking over the medicines.
"Um hi" Luke said
"Hi" Lorelai replied never taking her eyes off the medicine
"You know you issued that ultimatum or whatever, so I don't have any obligation to tell you about who I'm dating" Luke began
"Okay" Lorelai said with a shrug, appearing to Luke as indifferent
"So you have no right to look at me like you did" he continued
"These three should do the trick" she said to herself
"Lorelai, are you listening to me? I'm with someone new now and I wasn't obligated to tell you"
"You didn't tell me and I didn't say anything to you, you're the one that sought me out, I didn't come and approach you"
"What are you buying?" Luke asked looking at the objects in her hand
Lorelai shrugged and walked up to the register. She didn't care that Taylor or even Luke would see what she was buying, she was sick of hiding things, and she was at her breaking point, Luke was happy with someone else and she was still alone. Taylor eyed her but Lorelai gave him a look to keep his mouth shut before he could say anything. "Well ,there you go Lorelai, have a lovely day" he said as she walked out.
"You too Taylor".
Luke came out a few seconds later, he saw her already down the street with her Doose's bag.
"Luke, you don't even have a bag, what was it that you had to do in there?" his girlfriend asked
"Oh, I um….I um had to talk to someone" Luke said
His girlfriend turned and motioned to Lorelai who was across the street talking to Sookie.
"Um….yeah" he said scratching his neck
"Can I go talk to Lorelai please dad? I miss her" April asked
"No" Luke barked
"Just let me say hello?"
Before he knew it April had run off and threw her arms around Lorelai
"Hey long time no see" Lorelai joked
"Yeah, I haven't seen you since my birthday party, I'm really bummed about you and dad by the way, I mean Beck is cool and all but she's not very upbeat or anything like you are, and my dad isn't nearly as happy, he frowns all the time, and he stares at you when you walk around town, I know because one time I was having a conversation with him and you were going to your Inn I'm guessing and he just stopped responding and I turned and saw it was you and his mouth was open, he looked like he was about to drool" April ranted
Lorelai laughed
"So Beck huh?" she prodded
"His new girlfriend, they've been together a little over a month, they won't last though, dad is still wants to be with you" April concluded
"So you've been good? How's school?" Lorelai asked
"Its been great, I've been swimming a lot, I just wanted to come say hi my dad probably wants me to come back now, but it was great seeing you Lorelai" April finished
"Yeah you too, and feel free if you ever see me on the street, don't be afraid to come say hello" Lorelai finished with a smile.
When Lorelai finally got home, she emptied her bag, she went into the bathroom and waited the 10 minutes praying the strips wouldn't turn pink.
When the timer went off she picked herself off the floor and looked at the strips lying on the counter, all three were pink. She felt the tears come to her eyes but quickly wiped them away. How was she supposed to tell Luke when he was with someone and didn't want her in any part of his life. She decided it would be best to just rip the bad-aid off. Lorelai made her way to Luke's in the freezing snow, she had her pink jacket on (the one from the show that I love) and her hair curled (the way it looked in season 5), she knocked slightly on Luke's door. It was around 10:00 she figured by now that woman would have went home and she could have really talked to him. She put on her strong face and approached the door waiting for Luke to answer. After a couple seconds with no reply she banged loudly on the door, Luke came down a few seconds later with an agitated look on his face
"What?" he asked madly when he saw her
"I need to tell you something" Lorelai whispered
"Are you okay, is Rory hurt?" he asked suddenly very concerned and his voice was gentle
Before she had time to respond his girlfriend wrapped her arms around him from the back
"What is my fiancé doing down here?" she asked
Lorelai saw the ring and her heart immediately stopped
"Lorelai, um can we talk some other time" Luke asked gazing into her eyes trying to make her understand. Lorelai swallowed hard, the tears were about to flow but she held them back
"Um, no we can't talk some other time, I have to tell you this now" she said looking up at him
"I'm kind of in the middle of something, can't you just be patient for once?" he finished sharply. Lorelai knew he was referring to the ultimatum
Lorelai let out a sigh and walked away. She didn't know what had come over Luke lately, the few times they were around each other he was harsh to her and she was done. She was moving on with her life and getting away from Luke Danes.
Please review! And what you would like the baby to be!
