"Lorelai, wait I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. You misunderstood" but she didn't turn around. She just kept on walking in the direction of the restroom. Not once looking back. Thinking to himself 'this was a night that was supposed to be unforgettable, now all I want to do is forget what just happened' "damn it"

Lorelai stood in the bathroom, against the wall wiping away the tears Luke had caused. She didn't think she could take anymore of her "best friend" talking down to her like he was. Friends don't do that. She thought about how she could get out of the bar without him seeing, but yet she wouldn't do that to him. Abandoned him. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Rory's number.

"Hello?" Rory answered after three rings. She was busy on a article on the paper so she didn't look at who was calling. Not that if she had she wouldn't have answered it.

"..Hey" Her voice was shaky, and it didn't go unnoticed.

"Mom, what's wrong? are you okay?"

But Lorelai didn't answer.

"Mom talk to me please. I thought you were going out tonight with Luke."

".. How could he talk to me like that? I thought we were friends, maybe more" Sniffling. "He just sat there telling me I don't do my job good enough and that he wouldn't really call what I did 'work. I thought I was the reason the inn was running so well."

Rory didn't understand what her mother was talking about. She couldn't think of anyone who would talk to her mom that way. "Mom, who? who said this to you?

Lorelai slid down the wall, holding her face in her hands. She sat on the floor letting her tears fall freely. She still kept Rory on the phone, choking back her tears. When she spoke just above a whisper. "Luke"

"What? Luke said that? I don't understand, Luke wouldn't say that. He couldn't he likes you too much. Luke wouldn't do anything to intentionally hurt you."

"He may not have wanting to, but he did. You should have heard him Rory, it was awful. Nothing like when he yells at Kirk or even Taylor. This was different." She kept wiping away the tears. She didn't know if she could make them stop.

"Oh mom, I'm sorry. What did you do after he told you all that?"

" I got up and went to the bathroom. Been here ever since."

"Did he try to talk to you. I mean come after you?"

"Yeah he followed me all the way to the door claiming I misunderstood him , but I didn't listen I just shut the door and sat here for a while and called you."

"How long have you been in the bathroom mom?"

"I don't know." Looking at her cell phone. "About 45 minutes. He probably left. We did take his truck."

"Mom he wouldn't leave you there, that's not Luke."

Lorelai noticed that a napkin slipped under the door. "Huh, someone just slipped a piece of paper, or a napkin under the door."

Rory being Rory hoping that her mom and Luke would make up, got really excited. "Read it, read it. Its probably from Luke, read it."

"Fine." She walked over to the door and picked up the piece of paper and started to read it.

"Out loud."

"Okay I will. It says, Lorelai, please come out, I feel horrible. The look on your face when you left is killing me. I didn't mean to hurt you. Will you give me another chance? Please." She noticed when Luke signed it, he started to right love but crossed it out. "signed Luke" She didn't want to tell Rory he almost signed it love Luke, She wished he hadn't had crossed it out.
