I am so sorry I haven't updated for a long time. I had exams and then I went to Cuba, so I haven't been sitting at the computer and writing much. Thank you SOOOO much for the reviews! You guys are awesome! It seems like the longer I go without updates, the more reviews I get………. Hmmmm…. Don't worry, I won't not update on purpose… But only if you review!
Disclaimer: I am not insane enough to think that I own Gilmore Girls… Hopefully you guys have figured that out too…
Anger and Stupidity
Luke stumbled into the seemingly empty hotel room. He scanned the space around him, and his eyes came to rest on Lorelai's bedroom door which was closed tightly. Crap I bet they are in there! Luke thought, confused thoughts rushing around in his head. What the hell was I thinking coming up here, when I knew what could be happening! Dammit! Luke turned around, and started towards the door. I don't even know what I would have done if I saw him here anyway… Luke didn't have time to finish that thought, because at that moment, Lorelai's door slammed open.
Luke turned around to find the guy Lorelai was with standing with one hand on the doorknob and one hand messily pulling on a sock. He saw Lorelai standing in his shadow urging him to hurry up.
Jake finished putting on his sock, and looked up. Both Jake and Lorelai saw Luke at the same time. Lorelai let out a small gasp, and tried desperately to not freak out. She was standing a fair distance away from Luke, but she could still see the anger and disappointment rising in his eyes. The three of them stood frozen, in complete silence, for a matter of minutes before Jake spoke.
"Hem hem." He cleared his throat as if beginning a speech. "We were just…" Before he could finish Luke had already stormed angrily out of the room.
"Woah, dodged a bullet there." Jake said, taking a deep breath.
"What do you mean 'dodged a bullet'" Lorelai snapped, anger welling up inside of her. "That was my friend. And now he is angry and hurt and it is all my fault! We never should have done this. I don't know what the hell I was thinking! I wasn't thinking! This was a huge mistake! An astronomical mistake! You need to get out. Now."
Jake looked at her. He was a little shocked at her outburst. He now knew that this guy must have been important to her, and she seemed to like him a lot. But even though she obviously thinks they made a mistake in sleeping together, he wasn't going to let her go that easily.
Jake backed away towards the door, and into the hallway. He let the door close slowly, and then muttered, "See you tomorrow" and turned to walk towards the elevator.
When he neared the elevator, He saw one was already open. "Hold the door!" He called, and walked quickly towards it. When he reached the open elevator he found himself face to face, with Lorelai's friend, and he looked angry.
"Um, I'll just catch another one." Jake stuttered and reached to press the down button.
"Actually," Luke slurred, the stench of alcohol on his breath, "I'd rather you take this one." And with that Luke grabbed Jake by the shirt and pulled him inside the elevator.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelai watched Jake back into the hallway, and the second the door had closed behind him, she closed her own door, and slid to the ground.
Tears fell freely from her eyes. "What have I done?" Lorelai whispered softly through her tears. Now she might have ruined her chances with Luke. I might have loved him. She thought sadly. Now I will never get the chance to tell him how I feel. And all this happened just because I was jealous, and wanted him to be too. Stupid, stupid, stupid! This went way too far.
Lorelai lay down on the floor, tears still falling, but she couldn't bring herself to stand up. She was filled with regret and guilt, and desperately needed somebody to comfort her, but Luke was the only one around and she was convinced he hated her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The doors of the elevator slid shut, trapping Jake inside. Luke reached towards the elevator controls, and pushed the emergency stop button.
The whirring of the elevator stopped, and all movement ceased. Every one of Jake's muscles was tensed, waiting for Luke to speak.
"You better be careful." Luke said finally.
"What are you talking about? You're drunk, why don't we just talk about this tomorrow." It was clear that Jake was threatened by the man standing across from him, who was obviously bigger and stronger than Jake himself.
"I don't know what kind of bullshit you had to pull to get Lorelai to sleep with you, but you better be careful because if you do anything to hurt her, I won't let it go so easily." Luke's anger was bubbling up inside him.
"What are you? Her body guard?" Jake spat, trying to sound tough.
Jake's frustrating stupidity made Luke's anger hit boiling point. Luke was pulled out of his drunken stupor, and was momentarily blinded by rage. "I don't know what kind of spell you had over Lorelai, or what kind of cheesy lines you had to pull, because there is no way she liked you for your personality."
"She's hot, what can I say." Jake said, finally showing his true self. He knew this was absolutely the wrong time and place to reveal his real personality, but he just blurted it out in anger to make this guy shut up, and to help him get out of the small, cramped elevator that filled with the stench of alcohol more and more every minute.
Before Luke could stop himself, he aimed a punch to the side of Jake's face. Jake let out a cry of pain, and put a hand up to his cheekbone. Luke shook out his hand, and pushed the emergency stop button for the second time in the last five minutes.
On the lobby floor, the doors slowly slid open and Luke paused before getting off.
"You don't deserve her." Luke said to the pathetic figure standing before him, still holding his face in pain. And with that, Luke left the elevator and went to find some aspirin and maybe some coffee so he could sober up before he went to talk to Lorelai.

How was that chapter? I know Luke was a bit out of character, but remember, he was drunk, and angry, and when you are drunk and angry, you are not always completely yourself. I won't be updating for about a week or so, because I am going away again, but please review! I will be thinking of ideas! I really reaalllly will appreciate it if you review. Good or bad, I don't mind criticism! Review, Review, Review! And I hope you liked it!
