We're not going to take this!
Disclaimer: I own nothing! I am just obsessing about it per usual. I also don't own twisted sister or Dee Snyder. Although that would be pretty cool if I did.
Summary: why won't Lorelai assert some control over her spinning out of control life? What if she does? How would Luke take it?
Dedication: to my favorite authors on here, who write amazing Luke and Lorelei stories, and inspiring my to write my own.
Lorelei slept well that night as well and when she woke up, she woke up and got dressed quickly, and made sure she looked how she felt. Liberated. It was tiring for her, to act like everything was ok. Now, she was free to tell anyone who asked, how deeply hurt and angry she was at Luke.
She figured he would avoid her, until she 'cooled' down. But that wasn't going to happen. She was tired of always being the wrong one. She was always the one to be blamed for things not working out. Always 'oh that Lorelei, she's afraid of commitment.' But this time, she wasn't afraid.
She had been there, and after their short breakup she had stopped letting her fears get the better of her. She wanted to have someone, and she thought that Luke would be that person, and now he was the one who was ruining things.
She got to the Inn and managed to keep busy all day without having to stop and think that maybe she was doing the wrong thing.
Luke didn't ask for this, and he always said that he doesn't deal with things well. That he doesn't talk things out and that he can't express things well, but that didn't mean she had to be alone in this. That she didn't deserve to be ignored and worse of all, made to feel inadequate.
Instead of risking another scene at her house, she went to go visit Rory in New Haven. She still hadn't told her what was going on. Instead she pretended everything was fine. During the drive, she thought about what her mother said about April. 'You have to take responsibility Lorelai' Her mother had said to her. But how could she?
Sure she hadn't told Luke that she wanted contact, but she felt like she didn't have the right. It wasn't her child, and she was so far removed from this. She was so used to being in Anna's boat, that she didn't know how to act.
She sighed as she stepped into the elevator. It was strange that her daughter was living in such a nice building, with her rich boyfriend. But rather than hate Logan for his past, she was determined to like him until he did something to hurt her baby girl.
Rory wasn't surprised when she heard what had happened. Lorelai could see it on her face. It was the trouble with being a teen mom, and more than that, a teen mom would ran away from the life her parents were forcing her to have. She was always the one who walked away, who isn't stable.
Even though she worked for everything she had, and had only gone to her parents to help her daughter.
'I'm tired of being angry.' Lorelai told her daughter, and Rory just sat there and finally before they both fell asleep after watching a marathon of Cops, Rory whispered to her 'I'm sorry that we haven't been fair to you Mom.'
Which made her smile. 'It's alright kid.' She soon fell asleep and even though she managed not to run into Luke, it didn't take the pain away.
The next morning, she woke up early, to make it home early enough to change, before a meeting with a wedding party, planning to use the Inn to have their wedding and reception. She sighed as she climbed the stairs and it seemed that she had enough time to cool off.
Luke was sitting on the bed, waiting for her, and as she walked in she jumped. 'Jeez very stalker of you Luke.' Lorelai snapped and tried to calm her erratic heart.
'I don't understand you.' Luke said in a morose tone and it made Lorelei stop. 'Well same goes.' Lorelai says and goes to the closet to pick out something to wear to her meeting.
'You just suddenly blew up. A little warning.' He said and looked around and she scoffed. 'Warning, that's f funny. Luke I've been miserable for a long time, I just didn't want you to think I was jealous.' Lorelai said and took of her jeans and put it in the hamper.
'Lorelai, there's nothing between Anna and me. Honestly.' Luke said and Lorelai just stared at him. They're in her underwear. Any other woman would feel vulnerable. But not Lorelai.
'I knew that Luke. Remember I am the Anna in my story, but why is it that the whole town gets to know her, gets to see her, and I am treated like some child predator.' She said and crossed her arms, totally unaware of how desirable she looked.
'That's not true, I just needed time.' Lorelai laughed at that. 'Time I can handle, being shut out of your life is something I didn't want. Nor did I deserve it. I don't deserve to be this miserable Luke.'
He sighs. 'I don't know what I can do Lorelai, all I want is time.' Lorelai just shrugs. 'Fine, you can have all the time you want Luke, I just might not be there.' She grabbed her clothes and stalked out of the room, leaving one heartbroken Diner owner.
Maybe revenge wasn't the best policy after all.
On the other side of the door, a heartbroken Inn owner cried while hearing the painful words of a Twisted Sister song in her head.
