You're Beautiful
Gilmore Girls fic- inspired by the song You're Beautiful by James Blunt.
Author's Note: I am Alyssa Claire. You've seen the profile of simplyawfulx3, but you've onlyread the stories of Srijoni Rhea. Well, it's time for me to get my butt off the dance floor & start writing. So I wrote this. It's my first COMPLETED fic. I've started many & wasn't able to finish them.
So here's the summary.
This story takes place in Stars Hollow around 2006.
because of the song being played…well, you'll see
It's while Max & Lorelai are engaged.
Luke is, of course, still pining for Lorelai.
Yeah I know the date's a little off. But James Blunt wasn't around like with You're Beautiful around in 2002-2003.
I don't know if this will be a one-shot, or if it will keep going. I'm pretty sure that I want to make it a one-shot. Comment & tell me!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gilmore Girls, Lorelai, Max, Luke, Rory, or James Blunt & his song. If I did, I wouldn't be sitting at my computer writing fanfics to pass the time. I would be in Paris sitting at my computer writing fanfics. I really want to go to Paris.
END A/N.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
You're Beautiful
Chapter One: Lorelai Gilmore & My Obsession With Trees
Luke was sitting in his pick-up truck outside the diner when it happened. Lorelai and her- he shuddered gently- boyfriend- no, fiancé, he saw them together. He knew it was bound to happen eventually, but he just didn't think it would be so soon. Not that Lorelai knew he had feelings for her, but it was like everyone in Stars Hollow knew that he had put a hold on Lorelai a long time ago, eight years to be exact. He wasn't sure that he was ready to give up that claim just yet.
He started to drive away from the scene. Slamming on the gas, everyone within a half a mile radius heard the screech and knew that something was up. Lorelai gave the truck a half of a glance and did not realize that all this fuss was over her. She went back to her coffee with Max and didn't look up from his luscious smile for the rest of the evening.
He didn't know where he was driving. All Luke knew was that he was driving away from his worst nightmare. Maybe he should listen to that Rent CD Lorelai gave him for- NO! Bad idea. He couldn't bear to think about Lorelai for one more second. So he punched the ON button for the radio. No oldies for him today. Luke turned on the hits station, Kiss 98.5. All he wanted was some unbearable hip-hop rap crap to ease his mind off Lorelai. But of course the song that was playing had to be You're Beautiful by James Blunt. A Lorelai song. He sighted long and hard but the thoughts of her just started pouring into his brain…
My life is brilliant
Hah. Yeah right.
My love is pure
Umm...yeah. It's been pure for eight years.
I saw an angel, of that I'm sure
I see her every day.
She smiled at me on the subway
In a coffee shop.
But it doesn't really make much of a difference, she's still engaged.
She was with another man
Yeah, because she's ENGAGED.
But I won't lose no sleep on that
I already do. What the hell is this man talking about? How could you not lose sleep over not
being able to love the one you already love?
'Cause I've got a plan
Well, I suppose if you have a plan- which I certainly don't- then maybe you wouldn't lose any
sleep on it.
You're beautiful
Uh-huh.
You're beautiful
Yeah, you really are.
You're beautiful, it's true
OKAY! WE GET IT, LORELAI'S BEAUTIFUL.
I saw your face in a crowded place
Not exactly crowded, it's just the town square.
And I don't know what to do
That's why I'm driving, listening to this song- because I don't know what to do.
'Cause I'll never be with you
Oh, great. Now he's saying I'll never be with you.
Yes, she caught my eye
She caught my eye eight years ago.
As she walked on by
She didn't walk. She was sitting, practically choking this OTHER MAN with her spit. sighs Why
him?
She could see from my face
No she couldn't. I don't even think she knows I exist.
That I was fucking high
WHAT? I AM NOT HIGH.
And I don't think that I'll see her again
Yes I will. I'll see her tomorrow morning at nine. Just like I always do. Late coffee for a late
riser.
But we shared a moment that will last to the end
I've shared many moments. I don't think she has.
You're beautiful
Yeah, what's new?
You're beautiful
Mmm-hmmm.
You're beautiful, it's true
We know it's true!
I saw your face in a crowded place
IN THE DINER.
And I don't know what to do
We know.
'Cause I'll never be with you
prays that he will silently
You're beautiful
Yeah, I know.
You're beautiful
How many times are you going to tell me something I already know?
You're beautiful, it's true
OKAY WE GET IT NOW JAMES.
There must be an angel
I thought Lorelai was the angel. What's this crap about another angel?
With a smile on her face
Do you SEE a smile on this face?
When she thought up that I should be with you
Nobody thought it up. It's not happening.
But it's time to face the truth
What truth?
I will never be with you…
Oh. That truth…
The song was done. But Luke had finally come to face the truth that Lorelai and him were obviously just not meant to be. As he realized that, what he did not realize is that he was driving straight for a tree. His obsession with trees in his head was something he did not wish to explore. Too late. The trunk of that old maple was already smashing through his window and straight for his heart. An arrow in his heart. How damn ironic.
Wow. I actually FINISHED a chapter. Please review & tell me if you like it, if you don't, if you think it should be a OneShot, if you think it should be a full-length story, stuff like that. THANKS!
