Thank you guys for reviewing. I didn't really respond the last update but I do have some things to say this update. Okay for one I tried soooo hard to write April nice, because a lot of people seemed to want that, but when it just didn't feel right…yet. I want to keep April mean for now. Things are going to be changing a lot in my next chapters I'm not sure how I just know things are going to be written more about the individual characters thoughts and actions aside from the family. I will be introducing a couple song chapters where I will make one of the characters hear the song on the radio and think about their own life with it, mostly Luke. Well anyway here is your next chapter, I hope you all enjoy and please review and give me suggestions. You have no idea how much I appreciate them!
Emma and Rory sat in silence. Rory turned up the radio and looked over at Emma. Emma was faced towards the window and Rory could tell she was upset.
"Hey, I hope you don't mind I need to go by the paper and check on things" Rory said
"That's fine" Emma said with a sniffle
"I'm glad you called me, we haven't really spent much time together lately" Rory said softly
"We've both been busy" Emma nodded
"Yeah, I talked to Logan we're going to take you out to lunch for your birthday, I know it was last week"
"That's okay, you don't have to, I'm happy just to watch you do your thing at the paper"
"Well we can order whatever you want and eat it there while I finish up some last minute edits"
"Alright" Emma said and faced the window again
There was another long pause of silence
"That bad huh?" Rory asked
"Yeah" Emma said knowing exactly what she was talking about
"Dad hasn't really been around lately, he's always with April" Emma added
"That's hard to believe" Rory said scoffing
Emma looked at her with a questioning look
"I just mean…your Luke's whole world…always have been" Rory clarified
"Not anymore" Emma said looking down at her shoes
"Em, you're my sister and I'm always on team Emma no matter what, but don't you think your being a bit…..immature" Rory said
Emma looked up at Rory with a shocked expression
"Me?" Emma said her voice rising with anger
"Yeah, you know Luke loves you so much, do you know how many times I wished my dad looked at me the way Luke looks at you? I didn't have a dad when I grew up and neither did April, don't you think you could be a bit sympathetic?" Rory asked lightly
"Typical you" Emma said with an eye roll
"Excuse me?" Rory asked
"You've always done this Rory, your away at magical college land with your arrogant boyfriend and you never come around anymore your always with him or doing something with the paper and then you come in and act like you know everything that's going on, its been like this for the past 3 years, just stay out of it and keep your opinions to yourself"
"I would have stayed out of it, but you're the one that called me remember, you called and asked me to pick you up when I was in the middle of something, so sorry for inserting my opinion, I'll refrain from doing that from now on okay?' Rory angrily spat
"Okay, great" Emma said "I should of just called Max or Will" Emma muttered
"You know their not always going to be there for you, your not always going to have a giant safety net named Max and Will" Rory said fueling the fight
"Oh really? Just like your not always going to have the safety net named Lorelai?" Emma added
"She's my mom" Rory said looking at Emma like she had no brain
"Their my brothers" Emma said with the same expression
"Fine, have it your way, call Max and Will and tell them that mean old Rory, called out Luke's spoiled princess, and she didn't like being told that she's not always right, I'm sure they'll come rushing to your side" Rory said sarcastically
"You don't know anything about me and my brothers, so why don't you do what you do best and STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES" Emma yelled and got out of the car
"Where are you going? Rory yelled out the window
"Calling my safety nets" Emma yelled and pulled out her phone. Rory rolled her eyes
"Fine have it your way" Rory said and took off.
Max and Will came and got her
"And your at Yale….because?" Will asked while driving
Max of course was in the passenger side looking at himself in the mirror
"Because dad is a jerk and I'm tired of it"
"Here, Here" Max said and pretended to raise a glass of Champaign.
Will laughed "I'll drink to that" he said and pretended to click drinks with Max.
Emma told them the whole story of what happened and what happened with Rory too.
Will turned the car around
"Will what are you doing?" Emma asked
"When mom finds out, she's going to need Rory there" Will said looking in the rearview mirror at Emma
"But she'll have us" Emma argued
"We're all connected to dad, Rory's not she'll be thankful to have Rory there"
Will parked the car and they all went into the paper. Emma was clearly not happy but she decided to get over it, this was for mom.
"Hey what are you all doing here?" Rory asked biting into her muffin
"Will you come home with us?" Will asked
"I have a lot to do here, and I don't think she wants me to come with you anyways" Rory said pointing to Emma
"This isn't about us, this is about mom, we have some news for her that she's going to take pretty hard, you should be there to comfort her" Emma said sucking up her pride
"Well….I'm busy" Rory said and returned
"God, you can be so like grandma sometimes" Max said irritated
"Can not" Rory said offended
Will and Emma started laughing
"Fine, I'll come but I'm still mad at you" Rory said to Emma
"And I'm still mad at you" Emma said with a grin. Rory smiled and put her arm around her
"You know battling with both your sisters isn't such a good idea" Rory teased
"I'm not battling with both my sisters because I only have one and I don't think she's mad at me anymore" Emma asked
"No she's alright and she's sorry too" Rory said and got into her car. When the kids all got back to the house Luke's truck was there
"Oh no" Max said
"This isn't going to be good, you guys stay in the car I'm going to go see if its okay to enter.
Rory went into the kitchen door to see Lorelai upstairs throwing Luke's stuff down at him while he pleaded her not to make him go. Rory quickly exited without them seeing deciding to take her siblings out for Emma's birthday lunch.
Inside the Danes home
"And here's all your flannels, that you can move into that new house your going to buy with that woman" Lorelai screamed throwing down Luke's flannels
"Lorelai stop, I'm not moving anywhere it was just a thought" Luke defended
"A thought you should have shared with you wife" Lorelai screamed and went back into their bedroom to find other things to throw at him
Luke quickly strided up the stairs "You know I don't have to tell you every little thing" Luke said with his anger rising
"Moving is kind of a big deal Luke" Lorelai spat
"This isn't about moving, this is about that fact that your mad at me for dating Anna all those years ago" Luke said his voice booming through the whole house
"NO ITS ABOUT HOW YOU'VE BEEN NEGLECTING OUR FAMILY FOR 6 MONTHS"
"I HAVENT BEEN NEGLECTING OUR FAMILY, I'VE BEEN SPENDING TIME WITH MY KID"
"I'M SO DONE WITH THIS CONVERSATION, I'VE HAD IT, I WANT YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE"
"No" Luke stated simply
"GET OUT" Lorelai yelled
"No, Im not leaving, this is my house" Luke said
"Lorelai went back into the room and got more of Luke's things
"I KNOW YOUR HAVING AN AFFAIR!" Lorelai screamed
"I AM NOT"
"YOU ARE. YOU CHEATED ON ME BEFORE WITH HER,…..whats stopping you from doing it again" Lorelai said breaking down .Tears flowed freely from her face
"Lorelai" Luke said softly moving to her side and trying to embrace her
Lorelai held him at arms length "No, I cant forgive you for this"
"WELL THEM WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, JUST FORGET ABOUT APRIL AND PRETEND SHE DOESN'T EXIST" Luke said his anger rising again.
Lorelai sunk to the floor and tucked her hair behind her ears
"What about our kids?" she asked softly
"What about them?" Luke asked pacing
"They miss their dad" Lorelai said as another tear fell
"THEY CAN GET OVER THEMSELVES" Luke spat angrily
"You need to leave, when my kids get home ….I don't want you here"
"WHERE THE H*** AM I SUPPOSED TO GO?" Luke asked violently
"MAYBE TO ANNA'S IM SURE SHE'LL WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS"
"YOUR SO DELUSIONAL LORELAI, I CANT EVEN LAUGH, IF YOU KICK ME OUT OF THE HOUSE THAN THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU KNOW THE WHOLE THING IS YOUR FAULT ANY WAY, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT ASKED FOR THE SEPERATION 15 YEARS AGO, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GLAD I WENT TO ANNA, BECAUSE NOW I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT ACTUALLY APRECIATES ME MORE THAN EMMA EVER HAS"
"You don't mean that" Lorelai said as tears ran down her face
"Actually I do" Luke said coldly
"GET OUT! I WANT A DIVORCE AND I'M NOT CHANGING MY MIND THIS TIME, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE" Lorelai screamed
Luke sucked in his breath and descended out of the house.
