"No! I'm not waiting! It's now or never!"
"I don't like ultimatums!"
"Well, I don't like Mondays, but unfortunately they come around eventually!"
"I can't just jump like this," there it was. The thing is, he could if he wanted to. That's what it came down to. She had known it in the back of her mind for a long time, and had finally come to terms with it last week at the realtor's office. The wedding wasn't going to happen. He didn't want it to happen.
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that," she wasn't just sorry, she felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest. She felt a sob escape. It wasn't that she didn't want to wait, she couldn't.
"And I have to go"
Even after a blow up of a few seconds before, and turning away from him, Lorelai still hoped against hope that he would run after her. But she gave up that hope when she turned the corner.

Luke just stood there, stunned. He thought that she had been ok with the waiting. He somehow knew in the back of his mind that it was hurting her, but he didn't know to what extent. For the first time in what must have been months, he had really seen the pain in her eyes. The desperation, the heartbreak.

for months, she had been lying to everyone, including herself, about how she was feeling. Now all the pent-up emotion came out, wave upon wave of grief, the heaviness of what she had lost bearing down on her shoulders. She didn't hear when the very man she was thinking of came close to her...

Luke saw her collapse, saw her shaking with everything she had been holding inside. How had he not seen this? In the past, he could always tell what was bothering her without her even needing to tell him. What was different now? He had been oblivious for months. The fact that he had caused her to doubt his love, hurt worse than a hundred guns, a thousand knives. He loved her more than life itself. He cautiously stepped toward her and she looked up...
A/N-yes, I'm mean. I hate when other people end a chapter in a cliff hanger, but I love doing it. Don't worry though, if I get reviews I will post the next chapter tomorrow.
