Chapter 9: Letting Go
"I don't know why I hate him so much," she confessed cradling the warm cup of coffee in her cold hands. After spending about an hour in front of Luke's with Luke keeping her close. The warmth began to seep into her hands, which was welcome. "I mean I didn't have a problem with Dean but the moment I met Tristan, I guess I'm just scared," she glanced up at Luke for a moment and it was then when she realized something. She wasn't just scared that Rory would get pregnant at sixteen but she was scared of herself falling in love and getting her heart broken. "What are you scared of Lorelai?" Luke asked her. "I'm scared that she'll get pregnant, throw away her dreams of going to Harvard,"
"I think your keeping her to close,"
"I am aren't I?" she nodded as a grin finally spread across her face. Suddenly, she leaned over across the counter and kissed him. The backwards baseball cap, flannel shirt, jeans wearing, coffee supplier was who Lorelai Gilmore had just kissed. It had been so unexpected that even Lorelai was vaguely aware of what she was doing but then it processed through her brain- she was kissing Luke. She pulled away quickly. "Oh my god," was what flew out of her mouth and then she ran. She ran out of the diner, past the gazebo, past the bookstore until she arrived at a clearing in the woods, breathing heavily she sat down and buried her head into her hands. She had kissed Luke, her second best friend, Luke the man who fed her and Rory every single day, the one who gave her coffee, the one whom she was in love with. She glanced up and realized it was snowing. Everyone knew magical things happen in the snow. Like the time, Rory took her first steps or the time when she was five and she had an ear infection making her wish something magical would happen; it had snowed. She didn't know weather to laugh or cry. She decided neither and to go back to Luke's. It was time to confess why she had kissed him. She ran back to Luke's to see it was closed. Lorelai shut her eyes for a second and she knew exactly where he was. She turned around and sure enough there he was sitting on the steps of the gazebo. "Hey," she said sitting down next to him. "Lorelai."
"Wait, Luke. I wasn't just scared about Rory. I was scared that she would leave me to go out with Tristan and I'll be all alone," she paused a smile coming across her face. "But then, when we were talking I realized something; I'm in love with you,"
""I." began Luke suddenly speechless. "If you don't feel like that, it's fine Luke. If you're still in love with Rachel I understand." She trailed off when he put a finger to her lips to silence her. "I've been in love with you since I can remember, Lorelai," she smiled softly at him as he laced his fingers through his hers, she looked out from the Gazebo to see the snow was falling harder than ever and suddenly the school marching band began to play and they looked around, finding the whole town of Stars Hollow dancing around in the streets. "Oh my god," she muttered and then she laughed everything was perfect-being in love, the snow.everything. The only thing that was missing was the person who had shared all of her firsts with her. Rory wasn't here, she tried to convince herself that maybe it was a good thing maybe they were to close at times because whenever they said how they were each others best friend and then the parents they told along with the daughters would give them crazy looks. "Luke?" she whispered tears now coming down her cheeks. "Lorelai?" came Luke's concerned response. "Please, take me home," she begged and so he did. "Thank You," she said softly as she kissed him one more time. "You'll be okay?" he asked. "I'll be fine, I just need some alone time is all," she said with a sad smile. "Well.if you need anything, food, coffee, company.whatever, you know where I'll be,"
"I will," she promised as she backed up into the house. She plopped down on the couch photo albums spread out on the coffee table, along with a cup of coffee and a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. She knew she shouldn't be wallowing; she had gained the love of Luke, but has lost the lifetime love of the person most important in her life, the relationship she had always cherished and at times taken advantage of. It was the relationship where nothing could go wrong and it had. The world's most wanted relationship, the best mother-daughter relationship, the relationship of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.
