Chapter 4
By CripticWolf
Luke swallowed down the lump that was forming in his throat. Lorelai, his Lorelai was lying in a hospital bed in a coma all because he couldn't control the damn car. Slowly making his way along side of Lorelais bed Luke found it hard to breath. It wasn't as much his injuries as much as the emotional pain from seeing her that way. Every step felt like he had anchors attached to his legs, every blink of his eyes made it harder not to cry. He was worried that she wouldn't pull through and that he would never get another chance to talk to her, to kiss her again... to tell her how much he loved her. 'Why are there so many machines? Damn hospitals.' Luke thought. He finally reached the bed and just looked at her. 'She's so pale.' He reached out and stoked her cheek pushing away some stray pieces of hair. She felt so cold under his touch that he winced slightly. He took her hand in both of his own talking to her slowly and quietly.
"Lorelai," his voice cracked and a stay tear slipped down his face. "Lorelai... I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen and I wish that we could switch places right now..." More tears ran freely as he sat down in a chair next to her, never letting go of her hand and ignore the pain of his ribs. "I'm so sorry." Luke broke, his walls crumbling. His eyes were bloodshot and pouring tears freely by now. Letting his head fall, on his hands with her smaller one entangled in them, next to her on the bed he cried and for once let his emotions show. He spoke to her several times willing her to wake up, begging her to wake up. He pined to see her beautiful blue eyes again. Oh god what he would do to see them looking up at him. Cracking jokes. Anything, anything to show him that she was really okay, hell he'd kill for a 'dirty' right now. Soon he would choke up again and not let anyone in. Soon he would box his feelings away again, but not now. Now it was impossible to hide so he cried for her and did something that he hasn't done in years... he prayed.
Sitting there his mind replayed over past events in their life, their playful flirts in the diner, arguments over pointless stuff, all the times they spent
together unaware of their feelings for each other, Rachel and the reason she left him, and one part of the reason his marriage with Nicole failed. It was because of the women in that bed, the women he loved since he was 17, Lorelai Gilmore. No matter how his day was going she always made him happy. Everyday he would wait for her to come to the diner even if only for a few minutes. It was all he wanted, to see her, her beauty and her beautiful blue eyes. 'She has no idea what those eyes do to me. God, I need to see them again. I can't... I can't loose her. Not now.' Luke thought sadly.
Soon his thoughts were wandering again. They flowed to the night he proposed to her, to the day the town had finally found out, but then the landed on Rory. 'Oh God, Rory. I completely forgot about Rory. What am I gonna do? How am I gonna tell her that her mother is in a coma... because of me? God she'll hate me. I guess that's expected though. I wouldn't blame her if she didn't. Geez... I really need a beer.' He was jerked from his thoughts by a sob coming from the doorway of the room. Luke picked his head up and looked to the direction of the sound.
"Rory, I..." Luke stood up and Rory jetted to her mothers side. Luke backed up and let her have her space. He backed up until he hit the wall immediately regretting it as a jolt of pain ran through him, but he bit it back and kept quiet.
Rory sat on the bed hugging her mothers unconsious body. She was crying hysterically, so much that she could barely speak. "Mom... Mom please, please wake up... just... just wake up please." Rory shook her mom slightly, praying that she would wake up.
Seeing Rory like that tore a hole through Luke. His heart felt like it was being ripped to shreds. Watching the two people he loved the most in the world that way was just to much for him. He slid down the wall, knees bent up with his head in his hands, resting on them. He didn't care about the pain of his ribs or the strain on him trying to breath, he just sat there wishing that he would wake up from this nightmare. Wishing that any second he would wake up from falling asleep on the couch, Lorelais head on his lap and Rory at his feet watching Willy Wonka arguing about something. But that wasn't the case and he knew it so he did the only thing he could think of and that was blame himself more.
Rory sat up and turned her wet face and bloodshot eyes from her mother. Her gaze landed on Luke who was sitting on the floor with his head buried in his hands. He looked like he was having trouble breathing but it didn't seem to look like he cared. Rory stood up and walked over to him still sobbing. The last thing she wanted him to do is blame himself. It wasnt healthy and if she knew him he would just push it all deep inside himself and trow away the key.
"Luke..." He looked up at her and into her eyes. It was just staring for a few minutes but it was done when Rory fell to the floor next to him and landed right in his arms. She started to cry so he just tightened his grip around her. He tried his best not to breakdown and cry but it was getting way to hard. Rory's tears had soaked the collar of Lukes white hospital shirt but he didn't care. He knew she needed him and he needed her too. Luke put his chin on top of her head and finally gave in. 'Ah geez. Forget this. I can't fight them anymore.'
Rory was shocked that Luke was crying. She had never actually seen him cry, or open up to his emotions at all really, well except his anger, but that was it. She clung to him unaware that she was making it really hard for him to breath from his boken ribs. As far as she knew the only injury he had was his head from the obvious bandage around it.
"Geez Rory, I am so sorry." She could tell that he was hurting and that he was blaming himself for what had happened. "I never expected this to happen and I don't know what I'm gonna do if she... dies." His voice cracked again at his last word and it just made Rory hug him tighter.
"Luke..." She sobbed. "You don't have to be sorry this isn't your fault, and nothing is gonna happen to mom. She's going be fine." She was really trying to convince herself of that more then Luke. 'God, what is wrong with him. Does he think that I actually blame him for this! Oh geez, he couldn't be more wrong.'
"No. Yes it is. I was driving. I could hav..." She cut him off looking straight at her soon to be step father. The hurt and worry in his eyes was so painful to look at but they needed each other and he need to realize that it wasn't his fault.
"Luke that's so ridiculous. Did you crash on purpose?" She didn't wait for an answer. "Of course not. You know that and I know that. Luke, do you think that mom blames you for this? Do you think that she wants you killing yourself emotionally over this?"
He sighed shakily. "No." Luke said solemnly avoiding eye contact with Rory and looking over to Lorelai. He knew that she was right but no matter what her or anyone else said he would never forgive himself for what had happened, even though there was nothing he could have done at that moment.
"Luke mom loves you. She loves you more then anyone. I've never seen her happier and its all because of you. She loves you and so do I. You've been more of a father to me then mine ever has and ever will be. Well never stop because you've done so much for us. Even when there was no need for you to." Rory said sincerely.
Luke smiled for the first time since the joke Lorelai cracked before entering Richard and Emily's house. "I love you to Rory. I've always considered you like a daughter and I would do anything for you... and your mother."
The hugged again then both got up off the floor. Rory noticed that Luke had a hard time and was in pain so she commented and he told her about his ribs. She felt so bad for the both of them and wished that the accident had never happened. Rory took the chair while Luke sat down on the bed next to Lorelais telling her about her mothers condition. He was tired as heck but was afraid that once his eyes closed they would open to a flat line on the monitor next to him.
About 45 minutes later Rory noticed that Luke was dazing off so she promised that she would wake him up if anything happened or changed. Luke argued with her telling her that he was fine but Rory won the argument by strictly enforcing the fact that he needed rest to get better. Reluctantly Luke lied down on his bed facing Lorelais own, but and before he knew it he was out cold in a restless sleep. Rory got up and walked over to the door picking up her book bag that she had discarded upon entering the room then made her way back to the uncomfortable hospital chair. Pulling out a math book she tried to get her concentration diverted off of her mother and Luke. But it was no use. Just being there made it impossible, hearing the commotion outside, Lukes slight snoring and at times struggles to breath clearly, and those machines. She couldn't pull her thoughts off of those machines fearful that at any moment the annoying beeps would stop for good. 'Come on mom. Wake up I need you. Luke needs you. I don't know what well would do if we loose you. I just don't know.'
Chapter 4 End
Okay so there's chapter 4. I hope you people like cause its 4 am right now and I have crappy school orientation tomorrow plus I am being dragged to a crappy football game that I am SURE our crappy team will loose once again. We lost our own freaking home coming isn't that pathetic. Well anyway you all don't care about that so I will update soon. PLEASE REVIEW. Um idk I wasn't paying real close attention to this chap when i was writing it so please be nice to me in you comments. :) Thanks for reading!
Also I know that Sookie should have been in that chapter and I'm sorry cause I totally spaced about her till the end. I'm not sure if I'm gonna add her in it until the end of the story. So what I was thinking is that this is how it worked: She figured that Rory needed some time alone so she would come back later or when Rory called her. The inn is way to busy with big business stuff and with Lorelai gone for the time being its just way to busy to get away. Honestly I just couldn't think of anyone else to give Rory a ride cause I have a different plan for her grandparents so they were out.
