An entire week of basically no life. Nothing but studying and stressing...FUN! Alrighty so continuing the story...-Marina

Walking away from Luke was harder than imaginable. Her head kept telling her to keep walking but her heart yearned for her to turn back around. It was too late now, she was already back at home sitting down on her bed replaying their confrontation over and over again. It couldn't end like this. They had waited so long to be with each other. Luke had watched her be with every man who turned out to be completely wrong for her and had waited patiently. It she meant so much to him, why would he turn her away so quickly?

These past months had been a living hell for her. When Luke found out about April he immediately changed. His focus shifted completely as though Lorelai didn't exist in his life anymore. His words were different. The "I love you's" were seldom said from his mouth, his kisses were too quick, they didn't linger, they lacked the intensity that was once there. Remember and now realizing the changes, Lorelai sat on her bed touching her lips. No other man kissed like Luke. He knew how to go slow and yet drive her wild begging for more. This wasn't how things were supposed to end. One stupid ultimatum couldn't ruin everything they had. Luke couldn't just be the guy who poured her coffee; there would always be something between them. Ever since the dream with Luke as the father of their twins, Lorelai knew that no other man in the world could make her happy as Luke could. Reliving their last conversation, Lorelai realized why Luke had turned it down. There needed to be a better reason for running off and getting married. She needed to let him know that what they had together was slipping away quickly and that Luke was the only man she ever truly loved, the only man she wanted to sleep next to at night and who's arms she's wake up to in the morning. She came to him in a frenzy and it's no wonder he wanted to just sit and talk. As much as Lorelai wanted to get married, she would now be willing to wait for Luke. He had waited for he all those years, a couple of months wouldn't hurt. They could elope first then when things have settled down, they could have a wedding. This all seemed like a dream and a fantasy but it was one she would fight for. She wasn't to lose him this easily. Lorelai sat up and shifted her legs off the bed. Paul Anka picked his head up and stretched his back legs.

"You ready for breakfast boy?" Within seconds, Paul Anka was at the top of the stairs waiting for Lorelai to pick him up and take him down the stairs. Standing up, Lorelai felt dizzy and had to brace herself at the frame of the door. She opened her eyes back up and picked up Paul Anka. The house was quiet without Rory. Her only daughter was madly in love with her boyfriend and went to Paris with him for gosh knows how long. This scared her to death but Lorelai knew that Rory was a smart girl...a really smart girl, the kind with a superhuman mind she would never really understand. Lorelai set Paul Anka down and walked in the kitchen grabbing the bag of kibble from the floor. After feeding him, Lorelai sat at the table. Millions of thoughts ran though her mind but Luke and the sound of him, the feel of him, was all she could think of.

There were only two choices she had. She could sit at her table and mope hoping Luke would come and see her or she could take matters into her own hands and go to him. Quickly, Lorelai got up and threw her running shoes on. It didn't matter that she was in her yellow sweats, white shirt nightgown, she would run. As fast as she could go, Lorelai ran to the diner. 50 feet away she could see the "Lukes" sign at the corner. 25 feet away she could see the faces of people who were going in. 15; she looked inside trying to find Luke. 5, she stood outside the diner at the door. Her hand was shaking as it reached for the knob.

The diner was busy. Voices of people hushed as the familiar jingle of the bell when off when she opened the door. Everyone was quiet. A few hushed whispers were said as Lorelai walked to the counter.

"Hey Caesar, is Luke anywhere around?"

"Hey Lorelai. I think he went upstairs for a few minutes. He went looking for..." Before Caesar could finish, Lorelai was behind the counter walking up the stairs. Right as her hand was about to open the door, she heard Luke's voice.

"Look, last night didn't mean anything." Without hesitation, Lorelai pushed open the door and saw Luke at the kitchen table slamming the phone back on the receiver.

"Lorelai, what are you..."

"Luke wait, let me start please. I'm sorry for rushing you last night expecting you to run off with me. I know you have April but you have to know that I love you Luke, I'm in love with you. You're the one I want and you waited eight years for me and if I have to, I will wait. God I hope it won't take that long, but if it does, so be it. I just want to be with you Luke. You're the love of my life."

"Lorelai..."

"You've been so amazing to Rory and I couldn't have asked for a better father figure for her growing up."

"Lorelai."

"Yeah this isn't me. Admitting my entire hearts out so easily but you're it Luke, you're..."

"Lorelai stop." She shut her mouth biting the inside of her cheek at his tone.

"Things are over between us." Immediately Lorelai felt tears come to her eyes. Her voice was quiet.

"Why? You can't just make that executive decision. It can't be over Luke, that's not fair."

"Lorelai, I slept with Anna." Her breath seemed to get caught in her chest and she couldn't breath. She looked up at Luke with what little vision was left from her tears and just shook her head. He was sitting there with absolutely no emotion. He didn't even try to stop her as she ran out of the diner.

It wasn't until Lorelai was a few yards from her house that she heard someone behind her. She turned around to see Luke. Screw being sad, anger filled her as she clenched her fists at her side.

"Get the hell away from me. I never want to see you again Luke. I can't believe that you would run off and do something so stupid because you didn't like ultimatums."

"Just listen to me please." His voice was quiet as he shoved his hands into his pockets.

"No! There's no excuse. There will never be an excuse good enough for me to forgive you."

"Lorelai it was a mistake, I even told Anna that. I love you.

"Ha. Really? Then tell me Luke, if you love someone so much what could they ever do to you to make you cheat on them? Luke I would have never done this to you! (A.N HA I couldn't resist!)

Lorelai quickly turned back around and walked towards her house. Before she shut the door, she turned around to face him. He was standing there as though he has lost everything. Then she slammed the door.

Whoo! So I will be perfectly honest, I wrote this whole thing in one of my school spirals during finals. Today I have one final left, Algebra 2 so I wanted to get this chapter up before the end of finals! There is a good change there will be another one put up as a present to everyone! I really couldn't resist having Lorelai say she would never cheat on Luke but it seemed a good time for it. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and please review!!-Marina
