Well on with the show…
Chapter 6 - My Girl
Everything swirled around her and she could hear a witch cackling, though it sounded freakishly like her mother, the world swirled in a rush of murky colour. Boom! Her feet landed flat on the ground, she looked around. She was standing in the middle of a little town. 'Luke's Diner' was oddly positioned not far away and sticking out from under it was a pair of legs. The shoes on the legs keep changing from Ruby Slippers to her mother's favourite high heels. Voices started up behind her. 'The wicked witch is dead!" said the Good Witch Glenda, and another voice appeared, the voice of her father 'you killed her, you killed your mother" The voices playing over and over again. 'The wicked witch is dead, you killed your mother". Little Muchikins appeared all around, all of them chanting the same thing 'the wicked witch is dead. You killed your mother" She was swirling around, the voices filling her head, everything swirled around all she could hear were those voices and all she could see were those Ruby Slippers.
Boom!
Lorelai woke up suddenly, breathing heavily and she was sweating. The song 'ding dong the witch is dead' still ringing in her ears. She slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. Maybe this dream was trying to tell her something, the dream certainly made her feel guilty. It had been 3 days since she'd left home and come to Stars Hollow and she hadn't contacted her parents once in that time. She took a deep breath, looking around the room. Their small little house, a potting shed really but a house enough for the two of them. Rory's cot was over by the window and Lorelai's bed was against the wall. Apart from that all they had was a bathtub.
Rory started to grilse from her side of the room, and Lorelai slowly got up and walked over to her. She spun Rory's home made mobile around once before getting Rory out of her cot. The mobile was made up of string and nick knacks she'd found in her bag, key rings, pens, stuff like that.
She got Rory and herself dressed and headed up to the Inn.
"Hi Girls, you ready for work?" Mia asked as they approached the front desk.
"Yep we sure are. I was just wondering if I could use the phone really quickly before we start" she asked cautiously
"Yeah sure. You can use the one in my office"
"Thanks Mia" Lorelai heading for her office.
"Lorelai, do you want to leave Rory here with me?"
"Um, yes please that would be good, thanks" She walked back and handed Rory to Mia. Mia loved that little girl, so she knew Rory would be in safe hands
Lorelai walked into Mia's office and slowly picked up the phone. Her hand held above the numbers she slowly dialled the number of the Gilmore house.
Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring 'Come Lorelai you can do this' She said to herself.
"Hello?" answered her mother quickly
"Hi mum"
"Lorelai!" she heard her dad in the background, saying her name in the same shocked expression.
"Lorelai, where are you? Come home right now!"
"No mum, I have a job and a place to live, so were fine"
"You can not be fine, your not here. Lorelai please tell me where you are'
"No! Because then you'll just come and find me and make me come back there but I'm not going to do that!"
"Stop being so stubborn, you can't live all by yourself, you're 16!"
"Yes I can, just watch me" she put the phone down. She said the last line with so much self-assertion and confidence that a stunned Emily Gilmore stood at the other end of the phone call. Emily put the phone down and sunk into a chair. Richard moved in front of her frantic to know were his daughter was.
"She's not coming back" she said starting absentmindedly into the ground.
Lorelai sunk back into the chair in Mia's office. Why couldn't for once in her life her mother just…listen to her? I mean really listen to her, not the made up stuff that runs through her head when Lorelai talked. I mean listen. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before walking back out to get Rory and start work.
Lorelai walked into the dinner late that night. Rory was asleep in her stroller and she had been working hard all day. Luke looked up as he saw her enter.
She parked Rory's stroller at the counter and plonked down at a stool. She looked up at Luke, happy to see a friendly face.
"Coffee?" he asked pulling out a cup, she wouldn't refuse.
"Please" she said closing her eyes for a second, she opened them slowly to find Luke already pouring coffee into a mug for her.
"Good service here" she said before taking a long sip.
"Yeah well if I didn't the boss would fire me"
"Ahh" she rolled her eyes at him, smiling.
He continued his normal routine, though slightly distracted by the pretty girl in front of him. He wiped the counter as she sat and drank her coffee contently.
"You need music is here" she said suddenly
"What?"
"You, need, music in here" she repeated saying the words slowly. It was his turn to roll his eyes, before walking straight and purposefully into the kitchen. Confused, Lorelai waited for him to come back. He reappeared seconds latter holding a radio.
"Yay" she cheered. He set it down on the counter and started fiddling with it, no sound was coming out. He looked up at her, a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"You don't know how to use your own radio?" she asked a high tone of amusement in her voice.
"It's not mine, Caesar my chief uses it" replied Luke gruffly.
"Ah" she put down her mug and walked to the end of the counter where Luke and the radio were. She took a quick look at it and then pressed the red button. Music instantly started out of the speakers, she twisted a dial to turn it down a little.
She looked at look him, a smile widely across her face.
"How did you do that?" he asked
"I'm just smart I guess" she smiled brightly.
Luke scoffed at this and laughed
"Heyyy" she hit him playfully on the arm, laughing a little herself.
A new song started up on the radio, it was 'My Girl' by the Temptations. Lorelai smiled and started to move to the beat. She grooved along miming to the song, Luke laughed and smiled as she twirled, dancing around the empty diner. He walked around from behind the counter and took her hands. She shook her shoulders back and forth to the music, tossing her hair around. Luke twirled her around and round until a dizzy, giggling Lorelai collapsed into his arms. Her caught her under the arms, as her hands held to his chest. She smiled up at him, he pulled her up till she was level with him, and they started to sway to the music. His hands were around her waist and her hands were sitting at the top of his chest. She looked into his eyes, both of them feeling happy and light. The words 'my girl' repeating through the song. 'My girl, my girl, my girl…'
Lorelai's thumb grazed Luke's chin and she slowly leaned up and kissed him on the lips. She pulled back and slowly opened her eyes. Her looked at her for a second before leaning down and kissing her, using a little more power and passion. She kissed him back equally or surpassing his passion. His arms wrapped tight around her, as her hands cupped the back of his neck. They kissed deeply and then kissed more with little lighter kisses. After a little while they pulled back to look at each other. The song had now slowed and stoped. They stood there together just looking at each other, smiling stupidly and not caring. She lay her head on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around her and they slowly swayed back and forth till the next song finished.
I love that song :)
Please Review, please.
