A NEW DAY – Chapter 2

By sacara

A/N: Thank you so much for your nice comments – hugs and kisses for that 

I will update this story every few days – at least I hope so... I'd appreciate it a lot if you told me what you think anytime 

"Oh my god, it was a mistake .. it was a mistake .. I made a mistake. I'm such a fool." Lorelai repeated like a mantra on her way home.

She felt so stupid and miserable. It almost hurt, and there was such a creepy little sting in the pit of her stomach that told her that she maybe should have waited and that the whole situation would end in a disaster.

Somehow she suddenly believed that the day which had started so wonderfully finally was an inevitable catastrophe.

Lorelai shook her head. This is it, she thought, you're a candidate for a funny farm and you're even contemplating the idea of committing yourself to an institution. She simply felt so ashamed that everything seemed to be sugar town compared to facing him again.

"But he feeds me!" she whined aloud. "What am I supposed to do?" Alright, and now I start talking to myself, she shook her head again and scoffed.

A minute later she was on the porch to her house. It was quiet and the spring air was mild and lovely. She breathed deeply and sat down an one of the fluffy chairs that stood on the porch. Ah well, maybe there's hope still. Maybe he will take it alright and even still serve her in the diner. Or he'll plug a sign on the door.

'Crazy Lorelai Gilmores STRICLY PROHIBITED' she had to laugh slightly in spite of herself. Lorelai pulled her jacket a little tighter around herself. It was getting a little cold, but as the night air seemed to cool off her overheated mind she stayed. She couldn't even tell Rory because Rory didn't know. Nobody knew. However, now he did.

After a while she calmed down distinctly and felt a lot better. When she thought about getting in, the telephone rang. It probably was her daughter Lorelai thought and she went in to pick it up in case it really was Rory. Lorelai listened to herself on the tape and already raised her hand to pick up the phone when she heard the timbre of a certain man who dressed like a lumberjack.

"Uhm, Lorelai? Are you home? Where are you? I really – we really need to talk. I mean how could you just leave after telling me something like that? I still am in kind of a shock and I wanted to apologize that I didn't say anything. I mean .. I – I think it was brave to say something like that. It's just that... man I hate these machines! Come on, please if you're home pick up the phone. We have to talk. – Lorelai? – Alright I think you need your time or space or whatever now. Whenever you're ready. I'm the one with the coffee, and you know where to find me. Bye Lorelai!" then he was gone.

Lorelai listened to it twice then sat down on the living-room couch. She felt like crying. He was just the sweetest man in the world, and he belonged to Nicole. She so much envied the woman.

"Oh Luke! What am I supposed to do? I love you so much. I can't live without you!" Lorelai said aloud.

Then she raised both her hands and covered her face. She allowed herself to cry finally. Waves and waves of hot and salty tears were streaming down her lovely face. This was long due. It would help her to clear her thoughts and to decide what to do now.

To be continued

A/N: I hope you like it so far. I know it's very sad but it will get better – promise ! 
