I haven't decided who Rory is going to be with in this story. I was never a Dean fan and long ago gave up on Jess so I'm thinking it's time to give Rory a new love interest. What do you think? Hmm…that requires some thought.
Lorelai wiped at her eyes. She was having a hard time accepting that she had actually left her daughter when something that major had happened. But she knew that if she stayed she would say more things that she didn't necessarily mean or that would make Rory even more angry with her. Lorelai went through the night's events, opening the inn to what in some cases could be considered public, Jason becoming crazy stalker man, Luke suddenly kissing her (and what a kiss it was) and Rory. She decided not to think about the latter in the list. Her mind jumped back to Luke. A small smile appeared on her mouth as she thought of the kiss. She was surprised by it but that is not to say she didn't enjoy it. 'If I knew Luke could kiss like that I probably would have started this a while ago,' Lorelai thought. A small voice by the name of conscience began ringing through Lorelai's head. "How can you be even thinking of happiness when you just left your daughter crying on the steps of your house?"
Lorelai tried to ignore that tiny voice but it grew louder and louder and she was suddenly crying again. She realized that she was close to the Inn and tried to compose herself as much as possible just in case she would encounter someone. She wiped at the black mascara streaks underneath her eyes. "Note to self: Waterproof, waterproof, waterproof," she thought. Once she was half-way decent she opened the Jeep door and step out. The moment she stepped one foot on the ground she heard a voice she heard a voice that made her cringe.
"Hey, Lorelai. What took you so long?
"Jason."
"Yeah, I still want to talk to you about our relationship." He was leaning against a tree and pulled himself up and walked up to her.
"What relationship, Jason? We don't have one."
"Oh, don't say that."
"What, the truth. I can't take this now, so listen good. We aren't in a relationship. It's over. I've moved on and so should you."
"What do you mean you've moved on?"
"Ugh, what it sounds like. I've found someone else. Goodbye." She walked past him and tried to go inside but he stopped her with another question.
"What is he like?"
" What is he like, well, he wouldn't talk on a cell phone through our whole date, in fact he detests the idea of them. And oh yeah, he wouldn't sue my Dad. Goodbye, Jason."
Lorelai walked inside the inn and sat down on one of the couches in the lobby. "This is just too much to happen on one night," she said softly. The tears that had been minimal broke into a huge gush of them.
"Lorelai, what's the matter?"
Luke who had just returned Kirk to his room was coming down the stairs when he saw her. She had her hand over her face and Luke immediately knew something was wrong. He rushed down the remaining steps and sat next to Lorelai on the couch. He pulled her to him and she laid her head on his chest and she seemed to calm down.
"What's wrong? What happened? Is Rory hurt? What happened, Lorelai?"
"She said she hates me." Lorelai tried to state in between sobs.
"What, why would she say that. She didn't mean it, I know that."
"I can't say here. I don't know if I should tell you, she might get angry if she finds out that you know." 'What the hell,' Lorelai's inner voice was saying. 'You have to tell someone. You know you can trust Luke.'
"Fine," Luke was saying while Lorelai was contemplating what would happen if she told him. "You don't have to explain. I just…I don't like seeing you this way."
Lorelai knew then and there that she could tell him. She wiped at her eyes, stood up and grabbed his hand and led him upstairs. She walked to what she knew was his and waited. He got the key from his pocket and unlocked the door. She walked in the room and sat on the bed. He looked at her strangely.
"I couldn't talk down there."
"Oh, okay."
"She slept with Dean." Lorelai blurted out.
"What! Oh, that good-for-nothing little…I knew he was trouble. I tried to tell you but I didn't think he would…ughh…"
"Ok, not helping here."
Luke looked at Lorelai, tears were threatening to over flow in her eyes. He returned to his seat beside her. She leaned her head on his shoulder and she tried to continue the story.
"I went home and went upstairs to get band-aids and a camera and I was rambling about how she was missing everything and I had so much to tell her. And I went downstairs and she was standing in the kitchen and then he came out. I knew something was wrong. When he left I went to her door and…" Lorelai got choked up, tears catching in her throat. "The bed was …and I knew…she kept going on about how she was sorry for not telling me before and how they were safe and how wasn't I happy that she had her first time with someone sweet and kind…and then I lost it. I told her that I wasn't happy. She was the other woman…and then she through past relationships back at me…and I never…She hates me, Luke. She said she hated me." The tears finally won and Lorelai curled even tighter into Luke and his grip tighten around her shoulders.
Luke waited for her to come to a stopping point. He made soft shushing noises. He had always been uncomfortable with crying women, but there was something about when Lorelai cried that made him want to cry too. She was too happy a person, and to see her like this killed him. He wanted to make everything but this situation was totally new to him and he was a loss at what to do. So he just sat there, holding her tight and rubbing her back. He didn't know that he was doing everything right. That was all Lorelai needed.
Ok, so that was my second chapter. Still in the dramatic phase. I hope to include more comedy but it's still to early to have everything be back to normal. Next chapter will most likely be Rory again. So, please review.
