A/N Another chapter..yay.Ok Read and review..this was written..well half of it very quickly so scuse the mistakes. :) I dont own a thing..
It had been a week since the phone call and Lorelai found herself missing that voice more and more.She went on with her days but she was a mere shadow of herself.The automatic motions of life she repeated but without a glance.The inn was more stressful then she could ever imagine and the loneliness that eveloped her every time she entered her apartment.Other people could see the change in her,even though the knew her less than a week.People refrained from commenting,for Lorelai was more irritable then ever.She yelled often and got frusterated over little things.Rory hadnt called lately and Lorelai was going downhill.
The alarm clock rang shrill within the walls of the apartment.Luke laid awake staring at the celiing.He was suspicous of that late night phone call.No one had spoken,and he had blank messages on his answering machine.He hoped it was Lorelai but what good would that be any ways ? He felt like a idiot.What was wrong with him ? He shook his head and swung his leg over the side of his bed,leaving the warm nest of blankets behind.His feet hit the cool floor and he sighed.Shuffling to the bathroom he took a shower and got ready to open the diner.As he grabbed a cup from the cupboard he stopped,a coffee mug of Lorelais catching his attention.The mug stayed in his grasp,his fingers running over the chipped surface.He closed his eyes hard trying not to think of Lorelai.Finally as he opened his eyes he set the mug down and turned to head downstairs.
Lorelai smacked the desk,and several people nearby jumped."Stupid..computer.aurghh..." she grumbled trying to get a file to show up.The conceigere quickly ushered some guest up to their rooms stealing a nervous backwards glance to Lorelai before hurrying up the stairs after the disgruntled guests.Lorelai paid them no mind and left the computer muttering angrily.She narrowed her eyes at a worker and began to head in that direction,the employee saw her coming and scampered away.She shook her head and turned back to the desk where the computer had thankfully loaded the file.Lorelais fingers flew as she tapped away on the keyboard,losing herself in the rythmetic sound of her fingers against the keys.
This day had been particularly stressful for her,a new group was coming to the inn.It was the Southern New York Newlywed club,just what she needed.She groaned silently as the group entered the lobby,the couples hanging onto each others every word,laughing having a great time.Putting on a forced smile she went to them,showed them their rooms and got them settled,all the while her heart was breaking all over again.
Luke growled a get out to a customer who asked for there plate of eggs to be cooked more.His eyes gleamed and even oblivious Kirk had enough sense to stay away from Luke,especially since Lukes total of destroyed items had grown to six just this morning.The employees kept a wary distance between themesleves and Luke.
A plate of food was slammed in front of a customer and Luke sulked up to his apartment to put some stuff in the safe.As he clomped up the last stair he shook his head and in a maddening burst of anger punched the wall.He recoiled quickly holding his injured hand with other.
"God..Arggh.." he mumbled wincing greatly.He shook his hand and immediately found it to be in pain.
"Great...just...damn great !" he growled as he made his way to the safe.With his uninjured hand he stuffed the items into the safe and grabbing a role of ace bandage from the bathroom wrapped it around his hand.He stalked down to the diner where no one could even muster the courage to look up from there food or even whisper.
Lorelai dropped her keys on the hallway table as she entered her apartment drained and tired.Her neck ached,her eyes were strained and she had the beginning of a cold.She sank down into the couch to tired to even think about getting something to eat.She closed her eyes and gave a deep sigh of relief.She could feel herself becoming removed from world.She snuggled down into the couch and fell asleep.
Luke walked into his apartment tired and angry.Taylor obviously did not know when to leave him alone and had been bugging him about some town flyers that he wanted Luke to put up.Luke was in no mood from it and threw Taylor almost literally.Ceasar had to pull Luke back and the whole scene had not been very pretty.Luke wandered over to his bed and slipped into the covers without even bothering to change.As his head hit the pillow he let out a deep sigh.He tried to fight off sleep so he could think for a while but his eye lids became heavy and he drifted off.
Luke awoke the sun shining through the blinds and into his eyes.He grimanced and looked to the clock.It was 9:00 and Luke hadnt opened the diner yet.With a cry of frustration he got dressed and headed downstairs.Ceasar had opened for him.
"Im going out Ceasar." Luke called,he was not in the mood to be doing work.
"Sure boss." he said quickly glad that Luke was leaving.
Luke grabbed a jacket and stepped onto the sidewalk.He had no clue where he was heading and he just let his legs take him.A few minutes later he found himself at the Gilmore house.He cursed under his breath and turned to leave.But he stopped,he found he did not want to leave.He went over to the steps and sat down staring at the house he had helped fix up.He ran a hand absently down the railing.He knew this house better then anyone else,maybe even better then the Gilmore Girls had.He sighed and got up after about a half hour of remincing.He walked slowly back to the diner and helped serve,quiet and reserved.
