Chapter 4

Max woke up alone. He was wondering why Lorelai was up so early. He went downstairs to see Lorelai sleeping with Rory in Rory's room. He looked at Lorelai who was awake and went in to greet her. He looked into her eyes and saw that she had been crying. He took her hand and brought her out into the kitchen. He looked her in the eyes and hugged her tight. He didn't want to let go. But she did.

"Lorelai, What's wrong?" Max said letting go of her.

"I...Uh...um...well..." Lorelai stuttered. She didn't know how to tell him.

"Lorelai, please tell me. I am here for you." Max said nervously (?)

"I CAN'T MARRY YOU!" Lorelai said turning away from him to not see the expression on his face.

"What do you mean Lorelai. Why not?" Max said turning her to face him.

"I just...it's not right. Listen. I love you..."

"And I love you too, so what's the problem?"

"It's not going to work out. Okay, can you please just leave it at that." Lorelai said walking away and going up to her room. She got to her room and shut the door and fell onto her bed crying. She knew she loved him, but she loved someone else more. She couldn't let her feelings for some other man interfere with her relationship with Max so she had to end one or the other. She had to confront Luke.
