Chapter 35- Afraid
She tried to get over it, she really did. But she loved him too much. It was hard to just forget about him and move on with her life. She did, finally, take Mia's advice and take more time off. She did things with Rory, like take her to the park and stuff, more often. Sookie and she started to go to the mall on weekends, and she hid her sadness from everyone, including her self. She put on a happy face, and pretended she was fine. But deep down, she wasn't fine at all.
Luke was going through the same thing. He spent most of his time working, but sometimes he'd go out and play with his friends Basketball, baseball, whatever. In his spare time he would cook. He wanted to make really good food for his dad, because no one knew how long he was going to live. He wanted his dad to have the best few years of his life as possible. So Luke, just like Lorelai, hid his pain.
Luke was scared. The only time he had been this scared before was when Lorelai and him were in the car accident. He was scared. It was hard for him to admit, even to himself. He didn't like the thought of being scared.
Before they knew it, it was the middle of October. The days were getting shorter, and the nights were getting colder. Lorelai had started making Rory's first Halloween costume. Sookie and Mia were thrilled that Lorelai was going to take Rory out trick-or-treating. She was going as a pumpkin. Rory had turned 2 last week, and Sookie and Mia threw her a party. Rory was thrilled. Lorelai wished Luke could have been there. Luke was like Rory's father, more of a father then Chris would ever be. Luke was there for everything, and he was thrilled to be doing it.
------------------------------------------------
In no time at all, it was Halloween. Rory was so excited; it made Lorelai happy, for real, to see her daughter so excited and happy. They went trick-or-treating around town, and everyone loved Rory's costume. They thought she looked so cute! (Which she did!) Then they were coming up to Luke's house. Lorelai tried to just walk past if, but…
"Mommy! We have to go to Luke's!"
"Rory, why don't we just go to the-"
"No!" Rory tried to drag her mom up to the door "Come on!"
Lorelai finally gave in. She would have to face him sooner or later. She just wished it was later.
Lorelai rang the doorbell and Rory yelled "Trick-or-treat!"
Luke answered the door and a smile automatically came to his face. Just seeing the 2 girls made him happy.
"Rory you look adorable. I love your costume"
"Thank you. Mommy made it"
"It looks awesome!" He grabbed a handful of candy from the bowl on the end table. "Here you go"
"Thank you" Rory turned and walked down the steps ready to go to the next house. Then she paused "Luke, how come you weren't at my Birthday party?" she asked so innocently.
"I-I-I" He stuttered. He felt so bad looking at that little girl's sad face. He loved Rory so much, what was he supposed to say? He looked over at Lorelai, who jumped in to save him.
"I forgot to tell Luke about the party" Well, she didn't tell him, but she didn't exactly forget.
"Oh" Rory said and walked to the next house.
Lorelai stayed on the step for a minute. She thought of maybe talking to Luke, but decided it would probably be better for both of them, if she didn't.
"Would you like to- uh- come in?" Luke asked. Was this it? Ws she finally ready to talk? But she just shook her head and followed Rory.
Why wouldn't she talk to him? He knew she missed him! And he missed her more then anything. Why wouldn't she just let him explain?
Why won't I talk to him? I miss him so much. Maybe there is still a chance for us! No. That's why you won't talk to him. Because you know it will hurt, and you're afraid of the pain.
