I don't think that someone realizes just how exciting getting reviews is until they are anxiously awaiting them. I used to laugh at authors who would beg at the ends of thier stories for reviews. While I don't think I will ever resort to begging, I just want to let you know how greatly appreciated your reviews are. If your feedback is helpful you can guarentee that I'll take it into consideration. That being said I would like to address some of the things that were said. RandomGG25, thank you so so much for pointing out that The O.C. didn't exsist at the time. I've always had problems in keeping events straight in my head. xxnicole033xx, I appreciate that you like my writing, also, unfortunatly, I have a tendency to ramble and get off topic when I attempt to write long chapters, but just for you I have attempted to make this chapter a bit longer. Another thing is that sometimes I purposly write short chapters to keep people in suspense, or to create a certain mood. (Hee! My high school English teacher would be so proud!) Leondra! Yay! You reviewed me again! Major kudos to you for being the one who kept this story from dying an early death by being the first to review! biscottimoment, I know exactly where I am heading and I hope that you are not let down by it! crosses fingers and holds breath Thanks to all the other dah-ling reviewers as well! ANYWHO! On with the story!
It was early. The diner had just opened, and the one person you would never have expected was already there. Lorelai walked cautiously to the counter. Luke was no where to be seen, meaning he was probably in the back. She gently sat down at one of the stools. Waiting for Luke to return she ran over what she was going to say to him. 'Luke, I really, really hate fighting with you. I don't understand what I said that has made you so furious with me, but I'm really, really sorry about it. Please forgive me.' That should work she thought. How could he possibly be angry with her still. Lorelai glanced up in time to see his flannel-clad self coming throught the door.
'What is she doing here?' was Luke's first thought. Followed shortly by 'My God, how does she always managed to look that beautiful.' Luke shook the thought from his head and returned to the first. What was she doing here? Had she finally realized what it was that she had said? He hoped that she had because it was becoming to hard to not see her everyday without wanting to both forgive and throttle her.
"Hi Luke." Lorelai pronounced timidly. "Just let me talk, seeing as how it is what I do best. I...I just really want to say that I'm sorry. I don't know what exactly it was that I said that has made you so furious with me, but I'm really really sorry about it. I hate fighting with you. I hate it and I want us to be friends again."
"Lorelai...I...can't." Luke admitted.
"Why? Why Luke? I've appologized a zillion times!" Lorelai said in a harsh whisper. She was beginning to get angry herself with his refusal to accept her appology.
"That's why! Because you have to ask! You have to ask what it is that you said that was wrong. You can't see that by blaming it all on me that you took away my last hope that I could actually do something right for my family. Jess was my last shot to prove to myself that I could fix my family. I screwed up with my mom, I couldn't face her in the hospital the day that she died. I failed my dad by not going on to do something great with my life like he always told me too, I let Liz go through guy after guy, from drug problem to alcohol, and then she sent me Jess. My chance to show that I could improve some part of my family. I tried my hardest and all I get from it is my best friend in the whole world blaming me for almost killing her daughter, a girl that I love as if she were my own daughter, and telling me that if I had not tried to help my last bit of family that everything would be fine. I already was dealing with more than I could handle with Jess, but trying to convince myself that with time and patience he would improve, but no. You had to say all those things about how it was his fault and my fault by bringing him here, and I know you were upset, but that doesn't make it okay that you said all those things. And...and...I think you should leave now." Luke finished rather lamely.
Shell-shocked Lorelai slowly made her way out the door, leaving Luke, still breathing heavy from his rant, alone in his diner.
Woah! That was WAY more angsty than I ever intended...I feel like Luke was out of character but I really wanted to shock the hell out of Lorelai...hopefully I succeeded. Anyways, hope that you atleast found it intresting.
