0.7 Marching With A Purpose
[is it good enough? because not a lot of people are reviewing... :C]
"And she's been like that for two days straight!"
"I know! I tried to call her, but nobody was answering the phone! I'm getting worried, Miss Patty!"
"Poor girl, I think it's about Luke." Babbette whispered to her friend.
"Is it? I thought it was about Rory's father! I saw him at Sookie's wedding…"
Raine looked up from the order pad, "Who are you guys talking about?"
"SSSHHH! It's Lorelai! She's dug herself a little hermit-hole in her house and won't come out!"
Miss Patty had actually managed to tell her the whole story in ten minutes. Jeez, the people around Stars Hollow sure were gossipy.
She HAD to tell Mr. Luke.
"…and they think it's either about you, or another guy. They said he was Rory's father! Mr. Luke, I know that you kind of, uh, clam up, when Ms. Lorelai comes to visit, but I really think she needs a friend."
"She already HAS friends, Raine."
"Who? The stupid French guy who might not even be gay."
"You have been hanging out with Jess way too much. And how can he NOT be gay?! His NAME, is pronounced 'Michelle'!"
"Her daughter is gone, her best friend, Mr. Luke. She's living in a HOLE."
"These people tend to exaggerate, Raine."
"It could be serious, and if something horrible happens, it could be all your fault. Just because you didn't want to go."
Raine looked at Luke as he thought about it.
"It wouldn't hurt to go, Mr. Luke."
"I can't believe I'm doing this. CEASAR! Take over for a few minutes."
Luke marched over to the Gilmore residence mumbling, giving the town a new thing to gossip about.
"LORELAI!"
No answer. He walked around the house and broke in through the back door, as he had done before. Lorelai still hadn't gotten new locks for the door.
He marched right into the house and saw the scariest thing alive. It was disgusting. It was Lorelai. She was on the couch, literally buried under junk food. Luke walked over to her and dug through all the saturated fat and cholesterol until he found Lorelai's face.
"What the hell are you doing, Lorelai?"
"Go away, you evil, unforgiving man. Get out of my house." Lorelai proceeded to take a bag of chocolates.
Luke snatched it away and said, "I'm not evil, Lorelai."
"Hello? You just took away my candy. That is totally evilness I see. And you're still mad."
"I-I'm not mad, Lorelai."
"Yes you are."
"I'm not mad, but upset and disappointed, sure."
"What the hell did I do?"
"You let me down, Lorelai."
"I said I was sorry, Luke."
"You said you were sorry for what you said, but not what you did. It wasn't Jess' fault, but you still managed to find a way to blame him. Dean could have done the same thing under the circumstances, but isn't he SUCH a saint? I'm sorry for doing that to you, but I couldn't bear listening to your stupid jokes, while in your head, Jess was the Devil. It just wasn't fair to the kid."
She went silent for a minute.
"I'm sorry, Luke. I never knew." Lorelai sat up and hugged him.
"Well, now you know." She smiled as he awkwardly hugged her back. She had Luke again.
"Now what's this I hear about Rory's dad?"
With her arms still around him, Lorelai sobbed, "He's getting married…"
Meanwhile, at the diner, Raine had been planning something. She guessed that this was the right time. She asked Ceasar and Jess if she could have her break. With a quick survey around the almost empty diner, they agreed to let her go for a few minutes. It was all the time she needed.
Raine marched to Doose's Market with a purpose.
"Hey, Mr. Taylor. May I please have a word with Dean?"
