CHAPTER 8: Greasy and Unhealthy, Plus Some Venting

"Ok, one large pizza, with everything on it." announced Rory as she entered her mother's bedroom with a large pizza box and a plastic bag. Lorelai, who was sitting up, with her back against the headboard and her legs crossed, smiled at her daughter's kindness. Rory sat in front of Lorelai, placing the box in between them. "And, as an added bonus," Rory continued, scrambling around in the plastic bag, then she pulled out a bag of M&M's, "My very own special ingredient." she grinned, then opened the bag, and dumped the M&M's on the pizza.

"Wow, greasy and unhealthy. Good combination." Grinned Lorelai taking a bite of her pizza. She moaned "Delicious."

Rory smiled and took a bite herself.

"So," Lorelai started, "What are you doing home? I mean, not that I don't mind, I love surprise visits from you. But don't you have classes?"

Rory swallowed her pizza. "Well, my classes got canceled so I decided to come back home and spend time with you for the rest of the week."

"Aw, that's sweet." Lorelai smiled, taking another bite.

She waited for a moment, then said, "So, mom, let's talk."

Lorelai shook her head. "Let's not."

"Mom." she said sternly.

"Rory." she replied, mocking Rory's tone.

"Mom, come one. I'm worried about you. I mean, I come home, wanting to spend some quality mother/daughter time, only to find my mother in her bed, crying, and I'm guessing it's because of some guy, that broke up with you or something. And that's the other thing, you were dating somebody and I didn't even know about it? And it must have been serious since you were crying that hard." she ranted. Then seriously, "I've never seen you cry like that."

Lorelai bowed her head down in guilt. "I know."

"Please tell me what happened." Rory pleaded.

"Rory it's nothing. It's really stupid. You're gonna think I'm stupid." I think I'm stupid. No, in fact, I know I'm stupid.

"Mom come on, I wont think you're stupid. And you know very well that I'm not gonna let this go."

Lorelai sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you."

"Good. Now start with telling me who this guy is. Cause whoever he is, I am so gonna beat him up for making you cry." Rory said seriously, taking another bite of her pizza.

Lorelai giggled a bit. "You are not gonna beat him up. You can't even beat him up."

"Well whatever." Rory said. "I may not be able to beat him up, but I know people who can and will. Let's see," she thought. "Jackson. He can beat up whoever this guy is. Though, he's not really much of a macho man." Lorelai giggled. "Oooo! Luke. He can beat whoever this guy is. I know he will. He can beat up anybody."

Lorelai sadden at the mention of Luke. "I don't think he can beat up himself." she mumbled to herself.

"What?"

"Nothing. And Luke probably wont beat him up."

"Why not? He will. He'll beat up anybody for you. He beat up Dean and Jess for me."

"Yes, honey, but those were your boyfriends, not mine." and Luke and I weren't even together. God I'm pathetic.

"Yes, but I'm sure he can beat up yours. He wanted to beat up Max, and I know he wanted to beat up dad. Specially when he left us." she said quietly.

Lorelai knew all of this. She knew Luke was mad at Christopher for leaving them, again. She thought it was nice of him, for wanting to kill Christopher for breaking their hearts again. She thought it was a friendly gesture, but looking back now, he probably was mad because he was jealous and the fact that she didn't acknowledge it before made her sad. It was your own fault that he's back to Jessica now. She didn't hesitate to be with him. She wasn't in denial. It's your own fault you're crying and wallowing.

All these thoughts made her want to cry more.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Lorelai shook her head, the tears back. "Please tell me who this guys is that hurt you. I want him to pay for what he did to make you cry."

"It's Luke." she said quietly through her tears.

"What?"

"The guy is Luke." she a bit more louder.

Rory was quiet for a minute. "Oh, well. Him, beating himself up would be a bit awkward." Lorelai giggled through her tears. "So, you're saying Luke was the one who hurt you? Who broke up with you?" Rory couldn't believe that Luke would do such a thing. She knows that Luke loves her mother very much, so she couldn't believe that he would hurt her, make her cry. "Wait a minute, you and Luke were together?"

Lorelai shook her head, still tearing up a bit. "No. it's stupid. I'm so pathetic."

"Mom," she said gently, "tell me what happened."

Lorerlai drew in a shaky breath. "Well, it started out as a regular day. I was busy with the preparations for the inn. Then I heard Miss Patty and Babbet talking about this girl named Becca, who walked in the diner this morning, and she looked like Jessica Alba, and apparently Luke knows her. And not just in a friendly way too. And they say that Luke is really happy that she's here, so then he wont be lonely anymore. And, now he's with her and he's happy. They're probably gonna get married and have a family and I blew my chances of being with him and finally be happy."

Rory stared at her mother, taking all in by what she said. She rubbed her mothers arms, trying to give her comfort. "So," she said after Lorelai's sobbing clamed down, "his ex-girlfriend came back?" she nodded, tears still rolling down her cheeks. "How come we never heard about her? I mean, we heard about Rachelle. What's her story?"

Lorelai shrugged. "I don't know. Nobody knows. All they know is that she must be Luke's ex. And he's way more happy being with her than with Rachel…or me apparently." she added quietly.

"Mom that's not true."

"Yes it is." she insisted. "And why shouldn't he? I mean, I denied him all my life. I keep telling people that 'we're just friends, he doesn't see me that way', and I surely don't see him that way... When all along, I do. And I want to be with him. I…I love him." then broke down into sobs.

Rory moved next to her mother and gave her a comforting hug.
