Chapter 1
It was a choice she couldn't bare to make. Her life would change drastically either way. All of her hopes were to be lost. But in the end the only thing mattered was her happiness.
She walked along the freshly snow covered sidewalk. As people walked by they would shake their heads in disgust. Everything to her reminded of him and their relationship, even to the little crunch that was made every time someone would move forward on the snow. She would keep her head up when frowns came her way. No one knew better to ignore than she did.
She was quiet and insecure woman who glided along into the local coffee shop, like she did every morning at precisely 8am. Her thick, curly brown hair would fly into her face with a wisp, as she walked into the door.
"Morning."
"Morning."
"Coffee?"
"Yeah, make it to go."
"Meeting that guy again?"
"It's none of your damn business."
"Well that's cheerful."
"Thanks."
"Here ya go."
"How much do I owe you?"
"For the coffee or the sarcasm?"
"Luke."
"I'll put it on your tab."
She left so fast, it was like she wasn't even there. She wanted to leave everything behind. And this was the only choice that felt right. Her whole life she wanted to be with Christopher but she couldn't take the pain anymore.
Lorelai Victoria Gilmore sat in her tan jeep and drove to Hartford. This was the only way; she could get on with her life. By the time she reached Hartford it was 10am and raining. Before she got a chance to ring the doorbell it flew open, again whipping her hair in front of her face.
"Lorelai."
"Christopher, we need to talk."
"Listen Lor, if this is about last night. That was all a mistake. I never met to---,"
"Never met to what? Kiss Sherry? Christopher, don't' give me any of that crap. I know what you did, Rory saw you, I saw you, Luke saw you, and practically the whole town saw you."
"Luke? This is what it's about, Luke."
"Luke? Of course not."
"Lor, I know it hurt you to see me kiss Sherry."
"No you don't, Chris. You humiliated me in front of my whole town and you still expect me to marry you?"
Chris couldn't say anything, he knew it was over. There were no more straws to pull.
"Lorelai, I love you."
Wet drops of love landed on her cheeks and began to fall down her face and then finally onto the ground. Then she spoke in a whisper, "Goodbye Christopher."
