Author's Note: ok.. what I am about to say is something I thought I would never say before… I am not sure if this will be a happily ever after kind of story. I want it to be, but after re-watching the finale, for the thousandth time, I can't see how they can fix this, so how can I fix my scenario? I will try. Don't you worry!
Luke paled at Lorelai question and he felt his whole face grow red from guilt. 'I slept at the Diner.' He stumbled and Lorelai looked startled and then he clearly saw that she knew that wasn't the truth. 'Ehhh wrong answer Luke, I went there myself to check, so where were you?' Lorelei spits and Luke looks startled and then tries to scramble to find a reasonable excuse. He couldn't very well tell his fiancée that he had sex with his ex.
He figured that Lorelai would never approach Anna, and so he shrugged. 'I slept over at Anna's, I was upset and I wanted to spend time with my daughter, and I fell asleep on the couch.' He said and tried to make his face seem like he was telling the truth.
Lorelai looked pained for a second and then she swallowed hard and tried not to cry. She could tell he wasn't telling her the complete truth. She wasn't a sap, nor was she naïve. She knew when he was lying, because he rarely did it, and so if he was lying, it must be something horrible.
'Luke, please just tell me. Whatever it is, just could you tell me, so I don't go crazy.' Lorelai muttered and Luke saw how upset she was already. 'I'm sorry Lor.' Luke whispered and she winced.
'Your sorry that you slept with Anna? Is that what your telling me?' Each word Lorelei spoke, she took a step back. Luke tried to compensate by stepping forward but she put her hand up to stop him. 'Don't step any closer unless you can tell me honestly that you didn't sleep with Anna.' She whispered, tears starting to fall down her cheeks.
'I didn't mean for it to get so far.' Luke tried to explain and Lorelai gave an embittered laugh, much darker than Luke ever thought she could give. 'How far did you mean for it to go then Luke? Huh? Maybe a kiss, or what? Cause I would really love to know.' She said and he looked guiltier.
'I didn't mean for it to happen. It was only supposed to be a drink. I wanted her to explain to me why my fiancée had suddenly wanted to marry me.' He said and then instantly regretted it.
'No, you don't get to say that. You get to leave my house and never come back again. I'll make sure you get your stuff, cause buddy you will be needing it.' Lorelei yelled and physically pushed him against a wall, and stormed upstairs, leaving a guilty and devastated Luke in her wake.
On Luke's part, he couldn't even fathom what just happened. One minute he had a concerned fiancée, and now he has an ex, who was angry and bitter. In an instant he had lost everything. He didn't understand how things could have gotten so screwy, so fast. He should have known better than to think that Lorelai was ok. Nothing was, as it seemed right?
He heard the shower turn on, and his whole body ached to go see her one last time, but that would be a tad stalkerish and completely off limits.
He didn't know how long he sat in the living room and he heard Lorelai's soft footing coming down the stairs and he stood up. 'What are you doing here.'? She said in a tone he had never heard. Not even when they didn't speak for almost three months. 'I don't know if I can leave.' Luke said, his tone full of self-loathing.
'Well that's the thing, cheaters don't get to choose. Cheaters get attacked by Joey Greco, but they don't get to choose whether you want to leave my house!' Lorelai yelled and at that moment, both of them looked at each other's eyes.
Lorelai didn't recognize the man standing in front of her. The Luke she knew would never cheat. The Luke she thought she knew had first hand experience with what cheating did? 'You didn't learn did you? From your sock man?' She whispered and then opened the door.
'I'm going to Rory's and when I come back, I better not find a trace of you here, or I swear to god, Johnny law wished they could find you.' Lorelei spit and grabbed her keys and wallet and stormed out of the house, leaving one devastated Diner owner.
