As I Walked Away

A/N: Ok, this is a short one-shot about Lorelai looking back on what was thinking when she walked away from Luke in "Partings". As you might have guessed, it's in Lorelai's POV.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. Obviously!

I thought he loved me. I thought we were meant to be. But as I walked away, I realize it was all just false hope. I would never settle down. I can never seem to find that perfect guy. When Luke and I finally got together, I thought I had found the one. The town was thrilled, especially Babbette and Miss Patty. Now that was all gone.

God, this last year had been one heck of a wild ride. I was glad to have Luke standing by me through the rift with Rory. But no sooner than she came home did Luke start hiding things from me. And not just any things, big things. Like the fact that he had a daughter. And we had agreed to no secrets.

Some part of me knew that the marriage would never happen once we decided to postpone the wedding. Yet I still hoped to God that that part of me was wrong.

As I looked around me, I realized that I'd been walking so long, I was at home. I walked into my house and sat down on the couch. It was so quiet. I couldn't deal with the quiet at that moment. If I did, I would be consumed by thoughts and emotions. I needed someone to talk to. I didn't want to disturb Rory, what with the fact that Logan was off to London. For some reason my mind jumped to Christopher. I dunno why. But I made my way to my car almost absentmindedly. Without really even giving it a second thought, I made my way to Boston. I was just looking for a source of solace. And for some reason, Chris seemed perfect for that. He always was. When I finally arrived at his house (A/N: Or is it an apartment? I dunno.), I knocked on his door.

"I really don't want to be alone right now," I said as Christopher opened the door.

"Come in, old friend," he replied.

I definitely regret what happened that night. The same night I asked my fiancé to elope, I went and jumped in bed with Chris. I don't know why I did that. I just wish things were back to the way they were when Luke and I first got together.

A/N: Okay, that was short, but it wasn't supposed to be something that long. I hope you liked it, and I hope the end showed you that I am a total Java Junkie fan. Oh, and if you're into Charmed, check out my profile to get a link to my friend's story.
