She really did feel horrible. She freaked out on him like that after she told him that they would get through it. She felt like crying. She knew that what she did back there was wrong, but wasn't what he did 100x worse? Yeah, it was. She had been moping around with the same look on her face for 336 hours. Two weeks. She had been miserable for two whole weeks. Isn't your engagement supposed to be one of the best times of your life? You're not supposed to dread getting up. You're not supposed to avoid your fiancé. You aren't supposed to work like crazy and then go home to no one, you shouldn't ever wonder if the couch would be better. Things just were not supposed to be this way.

He wouldn't be able to sleep if she wasn't home. Not knowing where she was was killing him. How could he be so incredibly stupid? Why didn't he tell her? He had been beating himself up for days. He knew he had made a mistake; couldn't she just forgive him so they could move on? Why was she being so stubborn? Because he lied. This is how it had been for the past week and half. He would go back and forth between Lorelai being to hard on him, or him being the worst person ever. He could win. He was in a lose able battle with his mind. He was out of ideas, out of things to say to her. He didn't know what to do.

She didn't know where she was going when she walked out. She just knew that right now she had to get out of that house. Maybe she could go see Rory. But she did have school, and it was getting late. Maybe Sookie. She had Martha and Davey and Jackson. She didn't know where to go. Someone popped into her head but then rushed away. She couldn't go there. Could she? She didn't know what to do.

She looked at her watch. 8:30. she started the car and pulled out of the drive way and let her mind do the driving. She had absolutely no idea where she was going. 20 minutes later she couldn't believe where she was. She had run back to the place she ran away from so many years ago. She was confused. Now more than ever.

She did the second thing she could think of doing, because the first one, crying in her parents drive way was most certainly not an option. So, she went to the door, and her shaky hand rang the doorbell.

"Can I help you?" the maid said

"Uh, is Emily here?" she asked

"No, I'm sorry Mrs. Gilmore is at a function at the moment, but I believe Mr. Gilmore is in his study. Would you like me to go get him for you?"

"No, that's ok. Uh, I'll just go talk to him." Lorelai said

"Ok" the maid replied.

Walking to the study she started to lose it. By the time she opened the door, her face was tear stained.

"Daddy" she said in a timid voice.

He looked up from his paper

"Lorelai?" he said baffled. "Lorelai what is it?"

"He lied daddy, he lied to me and I couldn't take it"

"Who?"

"Luke. He has a daughter, and he didn't tell me for two months." She said now completely a wreck.

"Oh, Lorelai," he said, not quite sure what to do. He walked around to where she had collapsed in the doorway and put his arms around her and started stroking her back. (A/n I know a little out of character, but I always thought that if they tired Lorelai and Richard could be close) They stayed like that for what seemed like eternity but in all actuality it was only 5 minutes.

"Dad, I'm sorry" she said wiping her tears.

"Oh, it's quite alright." He said backing away from her

"Ok, well I'm gonna go. Thanks again"

"No problem. Oh, Lorelai?"

"Ya Dad?"

"Do you love him?"

She stopped in her tracks. She had put some thought into this. She looked down

"Yeah dad, I do"

"That's what I thought, goodnight Lorelai"

"Goodnight daddy"

And with that she turned and left and headed home, determined to fix this. The drive home was filled with silent thoughts. She was thinking about what her dad had asked her, and what her response was.

"I Love Luke" she said out loud, to no one.

She walked in the house and every light was out except for the one leading upstairs. He was probably asleep; I mean she told him not to wait up for her. She put her coat on the hanger and walked slowly up the stairs.

He heard her coming, and let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. She

Turned the corner and head for the bedroom.

She turned, walked in and stopped.

"I Love you"
