part 6
"Mom?"
Silence
"Mom, talk to me..."
Nothing
She sat next to her looking at the book in her hands
"I'm sorry Rory"
"I know..."
"How is he?"
"I don't know, he asked me to leave"
"Rory... I'm so sorry..." she started crying
"You should be"
"I hate my self"
"You lied to me, I asked you more then once, you lied to me"
"I hate my self for doing this... for acting like a bitch... for loving him..."
"You're married... what's gonna happened now?"
"I don't know... you hate me... and he hates me... and I deserve it..."
"We don't hate you... well at least I don't hate you..."
"Well, he hates me... I know him... he hates when I'm like this, lying and hiding stuff, I went to see him the other day, and he asked me if I was jealous and I said he was crazy and that he makes me sick... and then I tried to kiss him... I didn't even know how I felt... I spent the last 4 years trying to push the love I had for him... I thought I did... I thought it was gone... but seeing you this morning when you sat at the counter... you reminded me of my self... and I got to thinking... and I felt I was going to explode... I couldn't stop crying... I wanted him to hold me so much... and then David came home and I looked at him... and nothing... the man I married... nothing... no thrill, no butterflies... no bumping into doors or crushing tables... nothing... and when I look at him... this amazing man... I want to die..."
"I can't believe you would do such a thing mom... you have any idea how you hurt all of us... David and Luke and me... mom how could you do this...?"
"You hate me... and you have every right to... I wanna die for hurting you like this..."
"Mom you're married, couldn't you just let us be happy..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Well what now...?"
"I don't know"
"Mom, go to him..."
"How could I do this to you...? I love you most in the world... you're my best friend the reason I breathe... I hate my self for hurting you... I knew you were happy... how could I do this... you can hate me now for the rest of your life... I'll understand..."
"I don't hate you mom... I can never hate you... but I wish you were honest with me before I... before we... oh mom... do you have any idea what you did..." she started crying
"Rory...?"
"I slept with him mom... I made love to him..."
"Oh Rory... shh... I hate my self so much for ruining this for you..."
"And he was so sweet and different, and I made him laugh..."
"Oh god... what have I done... how could he do this...?"
"It's not his fault mom... he didn't know... how could he... you're married..."
"He shouldn't have done this..."
"Did you expect him to stay single...? Oh mom, That is so selfish ... he's wonderful, he deserves the best this life has to offer... he's always good, sure he's grumpy about it but good, and he cares so much for every one in this town, and he loves you, he was always there for you and you broke his heart... you should've seen his face mom... when you told him you loved him... its like he died..."
"I know... I know... I hate my self... I could never face him now...
"Poor Luke... he'll never forgive him self for sleeping with me..."
"What have I done...?"
"Mom its not too late, you can fix this... go to him... tell him you love him... ask him to forgive you, he always forgave you..."
"But what about you... oh sweetie... I'm such a horrible person... do you love him?
"no... but I care a lot about him... he made me feel really good... but mom he belongs with you... he always have... you're meant to be... and you know you cant change how you feel..."
"I can't ask you to do this... to give him up..."
"I have no choice... if I had known sooner I would've stepped aside, now... now it's harder... but if you ask me I will, I'll step aside... I will never stand in the way of your happiness"
"How did I ever get so lucky to have you as my daughter?"
"Well I don't know... but I do know that he can't be with me now that he knows why you've been so against it..."
"Did he say anything to you when you left?"
"He was in shock... he broke from my touch and sat down staring at nothing, and he said goodbye..."
"He never says goodbye... he hates saying goodbye..."
"There's your answer"
"I'm so sorry... well I guess I ruined it for both of us..."
"What do you mean?"
"He's not going to be with you... but he can't be with me because he slept with you... I sure outdone my self this time it's a world record for screw ups..."
"You're wrong mom... he just needs to hear you say that you love him he'll come around..."
"I don't know..."
"Well I know... he loves you..."
"I'm going to need some time... you know to get the strength and courage to face him..."
"Give it a couple of days... you'll get there..."
"Yeah... I'm really sorry Rory... I never meant for any of this to happen..."
"I know mom..."
"So... can I ask you a gross question?"
"Maybe you shouldn't..."
"So maybe another one, not so gross?"
"Lets hear it..."
"So he was your Rochester wasn't he...?"
"Did you know he knew Jane Eyre...?"
"No way..."
"Yes way..."
"Who would've guessed... mountain man and Jane Eyre... please tell me he didn't read it though, because that might ruin his image..."
"No he didn't... and for the gross one... we didn't tonight..."
"That wasn't my gross one..."
"I don't even want to know..."
"His performance?"
"Mom you are gross..."
"Sorry... I had to ask... do you think we can compare notes..."
"Get away from me... I haven't forgiven you yet you know..."
"To early to ask? How about I ask you tomorrow?"
"Oh my god... what have I done wrong in this life to deserve this..."
"Hey Rory..." she asked in a chocked voice
"Yes mom?"
"Can I stay here tonight with you?"
"Sure mom"
They got in bed and Rory laid her head on her moms shoulder
"I hope you can forgive me one day for doing this to you" she whispered
Silence
"I love you so much, I never meant to hurt you..."
"I know" she said fighting her tears
"Good night" she said but Rory didn't answer
After a few moments of silent Rory said
"Mom?"
"What is it honey?"
"I love you so much to, and I want you to be happy"
"I know you do..."
"Night"
"Night"
Rory woke up in her mother's arm that was already awake
"Morning"
"Morning mom"
"Feeling any better?"
"No..."
"Let's go get coffee"
They got up and headed to the kitchen to find David sitting there
"Morning"
He didn't answer
"Boy I need coffee..." Rory said
"Rory, could you leave your mother and me for a while?"
"Yeah, sure, I'll just be in the shower"
"David?"
"I heard you and Rory talking last night..."
"Oh, David..."
"I'm gonna come for my stuff in a couple of days... let things cool off for a while"
"I'm sorry, I never meant for any of this to happen..."
"I know, I heard last night... and I can't force you to love me... if its not there, its not there right...?"
"I never meant to hurt all of you, David... I'm so sorry..." she cried
"Shh... its o.k., I know..." he held her
"David I really am sorry... you were so good to me and I hurt you..."
"You don't choose who to love..."
"Thank you"
"For what?"
"For this, for being so understanding..."
"It's not easy you know... to find out that the woman you love doesn't love you back..."
"I know... you're so sweet... you're holding me when you should really be walking away..."
"Well you're still my wife and I don't like seeing you hurt"
She looked at him and kissed him on the cheek, a long loving kiss
"I'm gonna go now"
"When will I see you?"
"In a few days"
"o.k."
"Goodbye Lorelai"
"Bye David"
She sat at the table and started crying, for all the last event, for lying to every one, mostly to her self... for hurting every one around her especially her little girl, who wasn't so little...
"Mom? Where's David?"
"He heard us last night... he left..."
"I'm sorry mom..."
"Don't be, I brought this on my self..."
Lorelai didn't go to work the next two days, she sat at home thinking, crying, trying to find a way to talk to Luke, she didn't know what to say, what could she say... nothing, she thought
"Mom?"
"Rory..."
"It's been two days, come on... up on your feet... you're going to Luke's..."
"What will I say to him Rory...?"
"You'll know when you see him..."
"Fine, but it won't be my fault if he kicks me out of the diner..."
"He won't"
"Fine"
She got up and got dressed, with her heart beating hundred miles an hour she went to Luke's.
"Hey Caesar, is Luke here?"
"No" she started walking to his apartment "he's not there"
"Did he say when he's coming back?"
"Next week..."
"Next week? What do you mean next week?"
"He took the week off..."
"To go where?"
"Something about a cabin"
"Thanks Caesar" and she left to ran home like a hurricane and burst into the house
"Rory...!!! He's gone..."
"Gone? What do you mean gone?"
"Left... to his cabin... took the week off..."
"Oh my god... he's worst then we thought..."
"Yeah, Gilmore girls strike again..."
"You mean Gilmore girl... as in singular... you... you strike again..."
"Took the week off, since when does he leave his precious diner and for a week no less" she said throwing her hands in the air
"It never happened before..."
"Well actually it did... twice..."
"When?"
"Well that time you and jess got into the accident and I said all those awful things..."
"Right... I remember... I saw him the night he came back..."
"And after we broke up... you weren't here, you went back to Yale the day he left..."
"Mom you have to go to him!"
"Me??? How come I get to go?"
"Well it's your fault he's there... you go fix it..."
"I cant... he'll kill me... and then he'll bury me in the woods where no one can find my gorgeous body... and I'll never see you..."
"Wow... easy now... we already have one Stephan king in this world we don't need another... what an imagination... he won't kill you, he loves you..."
"Not now he doesn't..."
"Well one of us has to go and it's not going to be me..."
"Wait a minute, we don't have to go... maybe its good that he's there, thinking, I mean he needs time to digest all that's happened"
"Yeah... and to realize he can't be with neither off us... good going Einstein..."
"Then what do you suggest we do Yale girl...?"
"You have to go and tell him you love him"
"I don't think I can face him"
You have to... it's your only chance..."
"Let's flip on it..."
"Flip on it...? Flip a coin... we're not talking about who's gonna do laundry... this is Luke we're talking about..."
"I'll sleep on it..."
"Fine..."
I don't like this chapter but it was important for the story.
Thank you very much for all the reviews, especially to smile1.
Keep them coming...
This is my second try of writing a fiction, the first was pretty much ignored so I'm trying to change it a little, hope it will come out better.
NEXT: WHO WILL GO TO LUKE'S CABIN?
AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
Hope you'll like it, and thanks again for all the reviews.
