A/N Thanks again for all the reviews. I know the last chapter was really corny but it was hard to write something to transition into this chapter. This might be corny also but I don't care. This chapter does include a song (in italics) but I will try and make sure it doesn't get too corny. After my Lorelaish ramble enjoy and please review with constructive criticism.
I'm so tired of
being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
"What are you doing?"
"Standing outside your house with a boom box all night," said Luke. Lorelai Gilmore could not help but laugh for Lucas Danes was in fact standing outside her house holding a boom box. The laughter soon subsided when she saw how serious Luke's face was.
"Luke you shouldn't be doing this, just go home."
And if you have to
leave
I wish that you would just leave
"No."
"No?"
"No, I will not go home until you come out here and let me apologize to you."
"Luke you don't have to."
"Yes I do, I hurt Lorelai Gilmore, something I promised myself I would never let happen."
'Cause your presence
still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Against her better judgment Lorelai went outside to talk to Luke. She had no idea what she was supposed to say to him.
These wounds won't
seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much
that time cannot erase
How does he do it? She is so mad at him for not letting her into his metaphoric "car." For not telling her about April. For not including her in April or his own life. She was just so mad at him but when she saw him standing outside her window it took everything she had to not run out there and jump him.
"Luke you have to explain to me what you're doing?"
"Well I wanted to apologize to you but I knew a simple 'I'm sorry' wasn't going to cut it and we all know I'm not the best with words." Lorelai chuckled softly. "We also know I'm not the most romantic guy." Lorelai had to laugh again. "So I called Rory.."
"You called Rory?" That sneaky child of mine no wonder she "had to take care of Lane, oh I will get her back for this.
"Yea, I hope that's okay I just remembered you mentioning something once about a guy and a boom box in I think Say Something?"
"It's Say Anything," He remembers that?
When you cried I'd
wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all
of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
Oh Luke, he has always been there for me. When ever I needed a shoulder to cry on or a loan for the Inn or even just to complain about my parents he was always there making comments about my eating habits. Stop it Gilmore you need to have your game face on.
"Right so I called Rory and she told me to give you the roses.." So it was Luke. "And she told me all about the movie and the guy and the boom box. Well I tried to find that In Your Eyes song but I couldn't find it but I found this CD that Jess left and I thought this song was pretty suiting."
"Jess had an Evanescence CD?" Lorelai had to laugh though as she listened she realized how great this actually was. Maybe I should give Amy Lee a little more credit."
You used to
captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life
you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant
dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
"The point is Lorelai is that I love you. I don't know how to say how sorry I am for the whole April thing. I guess I was just jealous that April wouldn't want to hang out with me after she saw how cool you were. I sound like a kindergartener but I don't care. Ever since that night when you came to ask me to elope I've been thinking. I always wanted to marry you Lorelai, since the first day you walked into my diner 10 years ago. (A/N I think that's the current amount?) I screwed up big time that night; I was just so wrapped up in April I didn't even notice you slowly breaking down. It's been killing me that I wasn't able to read you and now every time I hear the bell in my diner I hope it's you walking in but it never is. It kills me not waking up to you asking me for coffee and food." Lorelai had been so wrapped up in Luke's words that she didn't even notice it slowly began to drizzle.
These wounds won't
seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much
that time cannot erase
"Luke please just stop."
"No, I want you to know how sorry I am. How sorry I am for hurting that woman that I love so much. Hell if this had been some other guy that hurt you I would be hunting him down to kill him. I promised myself that if you ever even gave me a little chance to date you I would not screw it up but I have and I keep kicking myself in the ass for letting you slip away." And this ladies and gentlemen was the moment that both Luke and Lorelai began to slowly cry.
These wounds won't
seem to heal

I can't take this anymore I have to say something.
"But Luke I screwed up big time too. How can you ever forgive me for that?"
"At first I thought I wasn't going to ever be able to forgive you Lorelai. But now I understand why you did it. I forgive you, no matter what I can't help but to forgive you."
When you cried I'd
wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all
of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
"I was just so upset Luke. I thought you didn't love me anymore, that you never wanted to get married. I just wanted to hurt you like you hurt me. I was so stubborn. Oh Luke I am so sorry. I never even loved him I just knew he made you so angry."
But you still have
All of me
"Chris and I will never work out no matter what he does. He will never work because I don't love him. He will never work out because he's not you."
I've tried so hard
to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with
me
I've been alone all along
"Lorelai you don't have to do this."
"I know I just want you to understand that I tried to convince myself we were over. I tried to convince myself that you didn't love me anymore. No matter what I said to myself it never worked because I never got over you."
"Lorelai I forgive you for everything. Just please forgive me too?"
"Of course I forgive you I should have told you how hurt I was anyways."
"Lorelai Gilmore I love you." Lorelai just stood there smiling unsure of what to do next.
Did we just get back together? Are we just friends? What am I supposed to do? Do I kiss him? And then as if an answer from the big girl in London (God) herself...
"Just kiss him already suga'!" Babette enthusiastically said from her porch.
And Lorelai Gilmore did just that. She kissed Luke Danes (A/N if you were listening to the radio edition of this song this is where the dramatic drum/guitar solo starts) It was no ordinary kiss. It was a kiss not only to make amends but to forgive one another. A kiss so sweet and sensual yet oh so passionate that no one would actually believe this kiss even happened if it wasn't for Babette who was videotaping the entire scene. Lorelai and Luke were so oblivious to anything other that each other that they didn't even realize how drenched in rain they were or even that it was still rain quite heavily while they were kissing. (A/N if you've seen The Notebook just picture that rain kiss.)
When you cried I'd
wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all
of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But
you still have
All of me
To Be Continued…
Well there you have it, something us Java Junkies really need about right now. I have some ideas where I'm going with the rest of the story but please if you have any suggestions let me know. Hope it wasn't to cheesy for you. BTW incase you didn't already figure it out the song was My Immortal my Evanescence
