Julia Roberts, The Hole, And Feeder
"I Lorelai Gilmore..." Lorelai repeated her voice shaking. She couldn't think.
"Take Jason Stiles." The minister said.
"Take Luke Danes-" Lorelai's eyes widened and she froze raising her hand to her mouth. There were gasps and chatter from the audience. Lorelai looked around she didn't know what to do. Jason stood there looking hurt. She looked to her daughter who was smiling but trying to suppress her happiness. Lorelai looked to Luke who was even more shocked than she was. Jason dropped her hands and started to back away. Lorelai looked to the audience to see the whole town of Stars Hollow, Sookie and her Mom with smiles and looks of relief plastered across their faces, everyone's eyes glued to her watching for what she was going to do next. Lorelai looked back to Jason. She didn't know what to do. So she did what she knew best, she ran.

"Mom?" Rory knocked on the door to room four where she had followed Lorelai in from outside.
Rory opened the door and her mom was in the chair with a strange look on her face. She looked up as if she had noticed Rory's arrival for the first time.
"Hey." Lorelai said.
"Mom are you ok?" Rory asked.
"I'm fine. I think. Rory what am I going to do?" Lorelai asked.
"What do you mean mom? You did it, you chose Luke!" Rory assured her. Luke who had followed them both from outside was now listening from outside of the door and he got nervous.
"Wow, leave it to Lorelai Gilmore to fall head over heals in love with a man who only likes her as a friend." Lorelai said. Luke's heart raced. Did she just say she loved him?
"Mom, he Loves you, and more than just as a friend. I've seen it ever since we moved here and you never wanted to believe me. He's waited for you, you should have seen him before mom! Look, over there do you see that?" Rory pointed to the hole in the wall. Lorelai looked at it strangely. "Did you notice anything different about Luke's right hand?" Lorelai looked up as if she just realized something. "He loves you. But don't take my word for it. Talk to him." Lorelai nodded. Luke waited patiently. "All that matters is how you feel, do you really love him mom?" Luke's heart sped up again.
"I love him Rory. I think somewhere deep down I always have. I mean think about it, he's always there for me, for us. He loves you like a daughter. Whenever I need anything or anyone, he helps me, he always makes me feel better like it's the number one priority on his list. He'll drop everything to make me happy. But it's deeper than that. When I'm with him I feel, I don't know. I feel like there's something there. Something I have never felt before and it's strong and it scares me. I know when I'm around him nothing bad will happen to me, have you ever felt like that before?" Lorelai said all this as if she were realizing it for the first time.
Rory shook her head no. "You have to tell him this mom." Lorelai nodded absentmindedly still thinking hard. Rory kissed her mom's cheek. And was about to leave.
"Oh my god!" Lorelai let out.
"What?" Rory asked concerned.
"I'm Julia Roberts." Lorelai said in realization and disgust.
"What?" Rory asked again. Normally she could follow along with her mother but after today she wasn't fully with it. She went back to her mom.
"Where's my fed ex truck?" Lorelai dramatically asked.
"MOM! What are you talking about?" Rory demanded pausing the rant that was sure to come from her mother.
"Um hello? Runaway Bride? Think about it Rory this is number two. First max, now Jason? What's wrong with either of them?" Lorelai asked. Luke was getting impatient.
"You didn't love them mom." Rory assured her.
"But that's two weddings I've run away from. They're gonna send Richard Gere after me!" Lorelai continued.
"Good or bad?" Rory questioned, happy that her mom was almost back to normal.
"OH!" Lorelai said astonished. She put her hand to her heart.
"What?" Rory asked not sure of what was to come.
"The message Rory. Luke said Eggs. Jason doesn't know how to make my eggs, or cook my eggs, something like that, not in so many words but it was there. EGGS!" Lorelai punctuated. "You can't make this stuff up Rory. What if it's a pattern?"
"Mom for the last time you are not Julia Roberts, You don't love Jason and you didn't love Max. You love Luke. So tell him." Rory said. She was just about to get up when the door swung open. Rory and Lorelai turned to see Jason Stiles standing in the door.
"I better go." Rory said, Lorelai nodded and Rory left.
Lorelai stood up to face Jason, because after all it had to be done.
"Jason..."Lorelai let out. She looked at him apologetically.
"How could you do that to me?" He asked her in disgust.
"Jason, I didn't mean for it to happen this way."
"Why, were you planning on publicly embarrassing me and simultaneously ripping out my heart in front of all my family and colleagues on another occasion?" Jason said.
"It's not like that Jason I just, I didn't know."
"You didn't know what?" He asked harshly
"How I felt." She said.
"About Luke? The diner guy Lorelai! I can't believe this. I knew it from the start, when you wanted to invite him to the wedding I got scared! And then you got mad at me and made me feel guilty for believing something that was absolutely true! God Lorelai you are so selfish sometimes! Tell me one thing. Do you Love him Lorelai do you"
Lorelai nodded sympathetically. It was getting easier to do. Jason looked hurt. He nodded one more time in acceptance and started to walk out. He turned around one more time. "Goodbye Lorelai." He said as he left.
"Bye Jason." She whispered to no one in particular. Lorelai went to the window. Sookie and her parents were helping to disperse everyone. There was only a few people left. Leave it to me to have the world's worst timing. She thought to herself. She shut the door and changed into the jeans and shirt she had on that morning before the wedding. Lorelai walked over to the wall where the hole was. She felt it with her hand. Where was Luke? Did she scare him away? She needed to talk to him. Like she had said it out loud he was in the doorway, she was so deep in thought she hadn't heard him step in the room.
"I'll fix that for you, don't worry." Luke said above a whisper. She jumped and turned around when she noticed that he was behind her. She looked up into his eyes. He was nervous, if she had truly meant what she said, he would, well he would be the happiest man ever. But for some reason she hadn't, if she just had cold feet and had to lean back on the one man who was always there for her, he would be crushed. He was here to find that out, he felt a strange source of courage as he stepped closer.
"Did you mean it Lorelai?" He asked her, desperately wanting to know the truth. She looked at him quizzically. He had never seen her be so quiet and it scared him. "Before, you were talking to Rory, did you mean it?" She looked shocked, she hadn't expected anyone to hear her except Rory.
"Did you Luke?" She asked.
"Yeah. I did. Every word, and everything I didn't say I meant too. I love you Lorelai. From the day I met you I've loved you more than ever thought was possible. You complete me." He said. She looked at him and without hesitation their lips collided. She held his face with one hand and had her other on the back of his neck and he held her close to him. They separated after they needed air. And she smiled at him.
"I love you too." Lorelai said. It was easier than she thought it would be. "Everything you just said, and everything I said before. I love you so much." She leaned in and kissed him again, the need becoming too overwhelming. When they separated again she fell into him, and he held her in his arms. She smiled into his shoulder. And he grinned.
"I have to get out of here." Lorelai said motioning to the window with her head where the decorations and chairs were still being put away. He nodded.
"Want some coffee?" He asked. She looked up at him and smiled. She parted from him and took his hand. As they were about to leave the room Lorelai let out a small laugh.
"What?" He asked her still smiling.
"I can't believe you put a hole in my wall." She laughed.
"Shut up." He said playfully. She kissed him one more time before they left.
"You know one good thing about how this happened?" Lorelai asked before they left.
"Hmm?" Luke asked, squeezing her hand a little tighter.
"We don't have to think of a way to tell the town." He looked at her questioningly. She opened the door to show Luke the crowds of people from Stars Hallow standing outside room number four, with their ears pressed up to the walls and door which no longer separated them. He let out a deep sigh and she chuckled. She would never leave this town.
They walked out hand in hand.
Don't ever feel...
That you're alone
I'll never let you down
I'll never leave you dry
Don't fall apart...
Don't let it be
Carry the notion
Carry the notion back to me...
