Review please!
Previously…
"Sure I would love to." He says, they get home and Luke kicks everyone out then gets Lorelai and wheels her carefully up the stairs, telling himself to build a ramp. He brings her upstairs and lays her carefully on the bed.
"I hope I can get a peaceful nap in with no one coming to the door"
"you will" Luke says and climbs in bed carefully with her
Luke gets up for a minute and locks the doors so that no one can come in, then he snuggles back against Lorelai and falls asleep.
Lorelai had another dream.
Lorelai was sitting in the gazebo reading and Chris came up behind her.
"Hey Lor."
"Hey Chris. How are you?"
"Good."
It was silent.
"I want you back."
"I'm with Luke."
"Come with me or I'll hurt you."
"Get away."
He takes out a rope and ties it around her neck.
"Please stop." she was struggling with words
Then he took her and hung her from the town square. Luke looked out his window and saw her there hanging dead.
Lorelai woke up and was shaking and was sweating
"Lorelai, are you okay, what happened?" Luke wakes up and wraps his arms around her to stop her shaking.
"I have a really bad pain in my side. It hurts really badly" She lied hoping he would believe it
He knew she was lying, if it was a pain she would be much worse.
"Are you sure that's all it is? Did you...well...have a bad dream?"
"I'm sure" She kissed him "Lets go back to sleep please"
"Okay." He says unsurely and they fall back asleep.
Lorelai fell back asleep and had yet another dream. This time the dream started as if it was in the middle of her dream. She dreamt that she was tied to a chair and had duck tape around her mouth. Chris staring at her
"so you going to change your mind and be with me?"
Lorelai shook her head no
"Fine. I'll ask you one more time. If you answer no I'm going to kill you. Do you want to be with me?"
Again she shook her head no
"Ok you leave me no choice" He picked her up with her still attached the chair and took her out back. When she got out there she saw a hole dug.
"See where your new home is now?"
Lorelai screamed the best she could but no one heard her
"Prepare to die now" He dumped her body into the whole and covered her up with dirt. Soon he no longer heard her scream. He laughed an evil laugh. He knew and was happy he buried her alive
Lorelai awoke and was trying to sit up. This time she was crying and shaking
Luke jolts awake again.
"Lorelai, come on. Talk to me, tell me what's wrong?"
"I.I...I" She couldn't talk
"Come on.What's the matter. Your crying so I know something is wrong"
"I.had.A..a. Bad dr..dr dream"
"You had a bad dream?"
"yea. Three actually"
"three?"
"uh huh"
"About what?"
"Ch...Chris Killing me."
"what?"
"All three times they were different. The first was when I was at the hospital still and I told you nothing was wrong and that's when you left. The first one was the he killed me with a knife. The second one happened about 20 minutes ago and he hung me from the town square. The last one he buried me alive" She started crying harder
"Oh baby. Wait its okay I call you that right?" he said putting his arms around her to comfort her
She nods and keeps crying.
"Luke...what..I...if...he comes back?"
"He won't come back, I won't ever let him." He says and holds her close to him.
"But my dreams, they all felt so real. I really felt like he was killing me, it was the scariest thing I have ever felt."
"I bet they were, but you can't let them get to you. I'm here. From now on don't hide anything from me?"
"I won't I'm sorry"
"its okay."
They laid there for a long time just holding one another
"But Luke, what if he does come back. I mean what if he gets 10 years in prison and then comes back to find me. I'm scared Luke."
He takes her hand and makes sure she is looking him in the eyes.
"He will never hurt you again. I will set up an alarm system and everything. We will change all the locks on the doors and I'll keep a gun in the house."
"Luke the first part sounds great, but I don't like the idea of having a gun in the house."
"It would just be as a safety measure."
"No guns, please Luke." She begs him with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, no guns."
"I want to do something. Besides lay here. Do you think we could do to the mall or something?"
"You're not well."
"I'm well enough. You can wheel me around."
"I don't know Lorelai."
"Please." She gave him the puppy face.
She knows that's the one thing that breaks him down.
"Fine, let's go to the mall. But only for a little while. You really need to rest."
"Yay!" She says as Luke helps her into the wheelchair.
The mall parking lot...As Luke is wheeling Lorelai into the mall people keep staring at her.
"Luke, why are people staring at me, do I really look that bad?"
The truth was she really did still look bad but he didn't want to tell her that.
"You look fine, just ignore them." He tells her as they enter the mall.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure"
"Okay. Now lets go shopping"
"What are you getting me into?"
"I need some new jeans for when this cast come off. I hate wearing sweatpants but it looks like I'm not getting out of them for awhile."
"Okay."
"so you'll have to help me look for my size. Oh and something sexy"
"Okay." he says and wheels her into a store that she points out.
"Ohh wow this is pretty, I want it." She says and Luke looks for her size.
"Okay they have your size." She smiles and he holds onto it.
As they continue looking around the store more people keep staring at her and Luke can't stand it anymore.
"Take a picture it will last longer!" Luke yells to the people staring at Lorelai.
"Luke do I really look that bad?"
"No. you don't."
"okay. I don't like people staring. I never knew how it felt to have someone stare at a person in a wheelchair, but now I do."
"It's okay. Do you want to go home?"
"No. Lets shop some more. Oh those jackets are so cute over there. Check if they have a medium will you?"
Sure." He checks and they have it. Right now he would do just about anything for her, he felt terrible that she has to go through this.
"Hey look mommy a lady is in a wheel chair, she can't walk." A little boy says and starts laughing.
"Now don't talk like that to people like them, come on." His mother says and takes them away. Lorelai stares at them as they leave and tears fill her eyes. She wheels herself over to the mirror and Luke chases after her.
"You lied to me Luke, I look horrible."
"You don't look horrible, now come on lets keep going."
"No, I want to go home." She says softly with her head down.
"You don't want these clothes?"
"Pay for them quick"
They pay quickly and get in the car and go home.
The whole way home Lorelai has her head down and doesn't say a word. Luke doesn't push her to say anything he just brings her inside.
"So do you want to talk."
"No, I'll be fine. Listen, would you mind going to pick us up some dinner. I feel like having pizza." It's the most she has talked since they got home. When they are outside she will keep her head down, but inside with Luke, she is okay and knows he won't make fun of her.
He goes and gets pizza. They go home and Luke gets her out of the car and they go in the house. They are sitting eating pizza in the living room.
"I'm sorry about the mall." Luke said.
"Yeah well, that's the real world for ya." She says as she takes a bite of her pizza.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm okay now that we are home."
