Disclaimer- I still don't own Gilmore Girls, but you have no idea how happy I am its back! (even though L/L isn't together)
Lorelai sighed as she turned the wheel to make the last turn to Christopher's house. She felt bad that she just barged into Luke's and left not even an hour later like that. She'd definitely apologize in the morning. And her stuff, she left that there too.
She stopped in front of the house and took out her keys. She walked up to the door, frustrated.
She knocked and then waited, crossing her arms. She heard shuffling around and a small crash and then the door opened.
"Lorelai!" Chris greeted drunkenly.
"What is wrong with you Christopher?" She asked.
"Whaddya taaaaaalkin' about?" He asked.
She snatched the vodka bottle out of his hands as he ushered her inside. She forcefully sat him down on the couch.
"Look," She said, pointing her finger in his face, "You have a daughter in the room next door. She shouldn't have to deal with a drunk father, especially at such a young age. And I know that you're not an alcoholic, Chris. You're just making stupid decisions, so this has to stop."
"I…I j-just needed to seeeeeeeee you," He stammered.
"Why? Why did you need to see me?" She once again crossed her arms.
"Because I love you," He managed to say without stuttering, but still with a slight slur.
"Please. You're drunk, Christopher. And I don't want to be here," She scoffed.
"Well then whyyyy do you always cooome?" He asked.
"Because if I don't then you're gonna ruin your life and run your family into the ground," She shook her head.
"I need you," he pleaded.
"I'm gonna go," She replied, heading into the kitchen.
She rustled through the cabinets and then took out two Aspirin tablets and slapped them on the counter. Then she turned on the coffee pot and poured a glass of water. Then she scribbled a number down on a piece of paper. She put that on the counter next to the pills. She went back into the living room.
"I left Aspirin, coffee, water, and the number for Chinese. Sober up. And if you decide to get drunk again, please hesitate to call," She replied, still holding the vodka bottle.
"Bye Lorelai," Chris replied, standing.
"Bye," She answered.
He gave her a hug and she weakly wrapped her arms around his back. Then she stepped away and went outside. She smashed the liquor bottle on the sidewalk and then got in her car. She drove back home, back to Stars Hollow. She was tired of cleaning up Chris's messes.
She parked in her driveway and checked the clock. It managed to end up being 3:02 AM. She sighed, how had time gone that fast? She opened the door cautiously, being mindful of the snoring college girls on the other side. She quietly tip-toed up the stairs and opened the door to her bedroom, where Rory was sleeping. She had to make a choice- sleep on the floor or in the bathtub. She opted for the floor and pulled out some spare blankets and pillows from the closet and laid them down on the floor. She got comfy and decided to get in a few more hours before she had to actually get up and get some coffee.
She finally woke up at 9:30 in the morning. She got up and shook her head as she surveyed the house. It was 9:30 AM and all the girls were already gone (including her daughter) AND the house was spotless. They really needed to learn how to be college girls. Had she taught her daughter nothing?
She took a shower and got changed. Then she walked the familiar route to Luke's. She waved to the people she knew along the way, and even a few she didn't. She was announced by the small jingling of the bells on the door. She looked around for a seat and then decided on one at the counter. She put her bag down on the stool beside her.
"Coffee. Anything else?" Luke asked, sliding a cup in front of her.
"Blueberry pancakes and French fries," She replied.
"French fries? It's 9:30, we haven't even started to make fries yet," He said.
"But I'm your Gilmore girl," She reasoned, smiling up at him.
Her eyes glittered, how could he resist?
"Caesar! Start making some fries," He called into the back, and received a "Got it, boss" in reply.
"Thanks Luke," She replied happily. "Oh! And I left my stuff here last night."
Then, with that comment, she found all eyes of the diner on her.
"When my house was overrun by COLLEGE GIRLS," She added loudly, to try to get them to stop staring.
They hadn't, so she rolled her eyes and stood up.
"Can I have this to go, please?" She asked, pointing to her coffee. "And you owe me fries and blueberry pancakes later!"
"You got it. And I'll give you your stuff later, too," He replied as she left.
He shook his head as she stumbled out the door, shaking her head at the staring patrons of Luke's Diner.
