Sorry It took me a little while to update. I also want to tell you that I intend this to be a loooooooong story so have patience. This chapter is about Lorelai returning to her house for the first time after twelve days. Its her POV. Enjoy!

Different Plans

Lorelai Goes Back Home (kind of)

Why is it that whenever something good happens in my life, a lot of bad things happen at the same time. I think that the universe has conspired against me. It never wants me to be completely happy. Like now for example, Luke and I are great. He accepted my proposal, we worked out all of our communication problems, and we're living together. Of course something else has to be bad though.

Usually it's just my parents. But this time, it's Rory too. That's the hardest thing. Not being able to share with her everything great that is going on in my life right now. I left her a message, and I cannot believe that she didn't call back to at least congratulate me. It's been twelve days since she moved into the pool house. (I know I'm a dork for keeping count, but I really miss her.) You think she would have cooled off a little now. I've never been this long without speaking to my daughter.

And now here I am in my house. I haven't been here since… well twelve days. I had to stay away. It hurts too much to come in here. And now that I'm here I really wish that I had taken Luke up on his offer to come with me. I knew that I couldn't avoid coming here. I mean sure I could send Lane to get my clothes for me, but she left for her tour. But at least I won't be lonely. Luke is going to move in here with me. I am really happy about that.

I feel strange. I feel empty. I feel like I just broke up with my boyfriend or something. But not like some of the other faceless guys that I dated throughout the years. Not even Luke. This is a different emptiness. And now my whole house feels different. It feels empty too.

Before I know it I'm crumpled on the floor sobbing uncontrollably. The phone starts to ring, but I knew that I was in no state to answer it. It's probably Luke just checking up on me. I thought to myself. But I was wrong. It wasn't Luke's voice that I heard on the answering machine, or even a dial tone. Just about anything would have been better than what she heard. It was her mother. "Lorelai I really need to speak to you. It's about Rory. Please return my call."

Who would have ever thought that my mother would ever know more about my daughter than I did? I know it's her dream come true, but I really didn't think that this would have ever happened. I don't even want to know what she called about. Am I bad mother because of that? Because I don't want to feel this hurt even more? I feel like I am.

So, I ignored the answering machine and it's fifteen messages, and collapsed in my bed. Falling into a fitful sleep.

I hope you liked it. I know that not a lot happened, but I was told to include more feelings and I couldn't really add in more action because it wouldn't have fit right. I am updating this soon, so if there isn't another chapter after this, then there will be soon. Okay, please review to tell me what you think. I wrote this chapter the way I usually write my Songfics, and those get better feedback. So, I decided to try that. Thanks for reading.
