Chapter: 13: I just feel it

Song: Phil Collins, True colors

Previously in Gilmore girls:

Lorelai slowly emerged from sleep by the sound of the bells. Bells? She looked around and realized she'd fallen asleep on Luke's bed. Maybe it was just Rory who came to tell her that the 'Love symphony' was over. The door to the apartment opened slowly. She quickly laid back and tried to pretend she was still asleep. She heard steps, and knew it wasn't Rory. It was defiantly a man. Dean maybe? Or Kirk? And then he growled. And she knew it was him, Luke. The footsteps stopped, and she knew he's seen her. She took a deep breath before she felt she was ready to turn around and face him.

"Lorelai…"

"Luke…"

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
though I realize
It's hard to take courage,
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it
And the darkness, inside you
Makes you feel so small

They stared into each other's eyes. None of them knew what to say, or what to do. She was just sitting there on his bed, in the awkward silence, and he was just standing there with her purse in his hand. He regarded her face and noticed she'd been crying. Immediately he wanted to envelope her, and hold her tight. Meanwhile she was staring at his eyes. They looked full of hope, but also full of fear. Suddenly fear got into her and she jumped up, ran pass him and down the stairs. She ran through the diner and out of the door where Kirk was still dancing around in the gazebo.

"Hi Lorelai!"

She didn't answer but continued down the main road, then turned left, then right and then suddenly she was standing in a street somewhere in the outskirts of the city. "Why did you run?" she asked herself. Maybe there had been a chance for them to repair the damage in their relationship, but as always she ran off. And all that because she was Lorelai Gilmore. And then rain started to pour down. She shook her head, and then she heard footsteps, but this time it was running footsteps.

Show me a smile,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear,
Just call me up,
cause you know I'll be there

"Lorelai!" he called, but there was no answer. She was already out. Luke went downstairs and out, where he saw Kirk doing some Elvis looking moves.

"Kirk, have you seen Lorelai?"

"I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark"

"What?"

"Oh, hey Luke. Looking for Lorelai?"

"Actually I just asked if you've seen her!"

"Really. No idea… That way… We're living in a powder keg and giving of spark"

Luke shook his head and then continued in the direction Kirk had showed.He walked slowly in the beginning, he didn't want her to feel haunted. And then he felt a rain drop on his hand, the hand he was holding her purse in. All over sudden a funny noise sounded, and he knew it was her cell phone. Automatically he grabbed it and pushed the little green button.

"Mom, where are you?" It was Rory. Luke didn't know what to say, but he couldn't let Rory get worried. God, he cared for that little girl, though she wasn't that little anymore.

"Rory"

"Luke?"

"Well, yeah… I guess so."

"Where's mom? I came home and she wasn't here, and now the rain's pouring down, and… weren't you supposed to be out of town, and why do you have mom's cell phone?"

"Rory, she's fine. At least I think so… I'll get her to call you when I find her"

"Find her?"

"Urgh, there she is, gotta go." He quickly hung up. But it was a lie, there was no Lorelai. No the rain was falling very heavily to the ground and Luke started running. Where could she be? And then suddenly his gaze fell on her. She was standing in the rain, just staring at him. Her hair was all over her face and the water was dripping from her clothes. He stopped, then took a few steps forward. Now there were only around to feet between them. For some reason Lorelai was reminded of their first kiss. It felt like ages ago, though it only was around six months. Six months of happiness, and later broken hears.

Slowly, their faces got closer, and when their lips met, Lorelai felt like a river was running through her.

"I love you, Lorelai" he whispered, and suddenly she pulled away.

The flashback disappeared and Lorelai returned to the moment. She was standing in a street of her town, wet all over.

"Lorelai… I" Luke began, but something in her eyes stopped him. They needed to talk, but first of all she needed something else, someone else. "Rory" he thought.

"Rory called." He then said and handed her the purse, but she wouldn't take it. She just kept staring at him. Why was he back, she wondered. Again the anger of being left behind hit her. How did he dare to leave her like that? Why?

"Why?" she asked, but he didn't get it.

"Why did you leave without saying anything?"

And see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
your true colours,
True colours are beautiful,
Oh Like a rainbow

"Leave?"

"You've been out of town for days, and you didn't say anything! What if I suddenly wanted some coffee!" The anger in her voice, made him feel guilty, but if she just knew where he'd been.

"I went to see your mom!" he shouted back

"You what?"

"And Christopher and his doll-fiancée!"

"What?" Suddenly she was out of words. Why would he go to her mother and Christopher. And what fiancée? Once again they were standing there, just staring at each other. Both of them knew that they couldn't keep away from each other much longer, but neither of them dared to make the first move. Being apart had made them realize how much they missed each other, and how awful it was not to have anyone to share bed with. Lorelai, who'd never lived with a man, never had a man beside her in her own bed, in her own house, except from Luke. And then Luke who'd only shared his personal life with Rachel, and then of course Lorelai. And then there in the rain, they Lorelai once again burst into tears. Ever since the break up, she had been such a nerve rack. Luke was shocked, he'd never seen her like that. She'd cried a few times, but not like that.

"Lorelai" he mumbled. The sound of his voice made her tumble into his arms, where she kept crying. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, letting her know that he was not gonna go anywhere, not now, not ever. Tears turned into sobs, and sobs turned into deep breaths. When she finally stopped crying, she realized how wet she was. Not knowing what to do, she pulled out of Luke's arms and turned around, ready to leave. But his hand on her arm, stopped her from moving any further.

"You seriously need some warm coffee, don't you think?"

"YES!" Her head screamed. But she just pulled her arm back.

"I can't, Luke. Not before I know where we stand."

"Stand?"

"Yes, where we stand!"

"Just the fact that I drove all the way to Hartford…"

"That only takes 30 minutes!"

"I drove past your parents house for three days. Three days! And then I drove all the way to Boston"

"Why?"

"And then I saw a removal van. How do you think that was? Driving around for days, and then realize that the woman you love is moving in with someone else!"

"What?"

"But then… There she is, Sherry. Different hair colour, and different person"

"Luke, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Christopher is getting married, 'cause he had a second, besides you"

"Christopher never had me Luke. You had… you always had."

"And now?" he asked. "Had presence" he thought. But then he saw the look in her eyes.

"Always, always"

Show me a smile, (show me a smile),
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear,
Just call me up,
Because you know I'll be there

Lorelai opened her eyes and looked around. Then she noticed the arm around her waist and felt the breath on her neck. Could it be true, or was she just imagining it all. Slowly she turned around, and found Luke beside her. He was still asleep, but a smile was on his lips. She kissed him gently, and that seemed to wake him. Soon he opened his eyes and seemed a little shocked to see her.

"Hey"

"Hey"

Suddenly Lorelai's phone rang.

"No cell phones in the diner, got it!"

"Actually, you're not in the diner."

"Very well. Hi Rory"

"Where they hell have you been?"

"Hell? Did you just say hell?"

"Hell, I did. Where are you?"

"At Luke's" Lorelai said happily.

"Luke's? Does this mean… Have you guys reconciled?" Lorelai couldn't hold back the laugh when she saw the look at Luke's face. He really hated when she was talking to Rory and he had no idea what they were talking about.

"Yup hun, you got it right!" Luke heard somebody scream.

"Is Rory okay?" he asked sceptically. And now Lorelai had to laugh hysterically. At the same time somebody knocked on the door. Luke mumbled something before he went over at opened the door. Outside was a blond haired woman a little younger than Luke.

"Liz!" Lorelai watched Luke hug the stranger and felt rather uncomfortable. Luke immediately noticed it and remembered he'd forgotten to introduce them.

"Lorelai, this is my sister Liz."

"That Liz?"

"That Lorelai?" Liz asked before she almost ran past Luke and hugged Lorelai.

"Thank you" she whispered and Lorelai didn't understand anything. Why was she thanking her?

"What are you doing here?" Luke asked

"I need you to do me a favour."

"Oh no" Luke exclaimed.

"I'm not asking you to be my best man, Luke. Just because I've been married quite a few times doesn't mean that I can't ask a favour, does it?"

"No, it's just… What is it?"

"I need you to take care of Jess."

"Jess? Who's Jess?" Lorelai asked rather confused.

"My nephew." Luke mumbled and turned back to Liz. "I can't."

"And why is that?"

"Because" he tried to look at Lorelai without her noticing it, but either Liz didn't see it, or she just ignored it.

"Luke, he's driving me crazy. He wont go to school, he wont come home when I tell him. And then I thought it might be clever for you to have him."

"Liz…"

"Bro! I ask you one thing, one thing!"

"One very big thing!"

"Hey, backwards-baseball-cap. I'm just gonna get some coffee downstairs." Lorelai said as she walked passed them. She had never felt comfortable listening to people fight.

"He can't stay Liz!"

"Why?"

"Lorelai…" Luke said a little shy

"What about Lorelai?" Liz shouted.

"Not so loud. We just got back together yesterday and…"

"and?"

"I…"

"You?"

"I might…"

"You are going to pop the question? Oh my god. Bro, you're getting married."

"That wasn't exactly…" but to late. Liz hugged her brother tight.

"I get it now. You want your own family. About time. Well, then I better get Jess and we'll leave."

"You brought him here?"

"Yeah, he's in the car" and then they heard somebody shout on the street. Someone who sounded a lot like Taylor.

"COME BACK HERE!"

"What going on Taylor?"

"I'll tell you Luke. A young boy just stole a candy bar. And you are?" he asked referring to Liz.

"It's me Taylor, Liz!"

"Oh hey Liz. What are you doing in Stars Hollow?"

Such sad eyes,
Take courage now,
Realize

When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there

Rory and Dean were sitting by the lake eating breakfast. It was in the end of the summer, so it wasn't quite warm yet. Soon summer would turn into autumn and the winter would come. Most people oved summer the most, but when you were daughter of Lorelai Gilmore, you would know that it was impossible not to have winter as favourite time of the year. Rory loved winter, just not as her mother.

"Move!" some guy suddenly barged into Rory, so she was just about to fall into the water, but Dean caught her.

"Hey, watch out!"

"Is that supposed to be a threat? 'Cause I'm ready."

"Dean, don't. It probably wasn't on purpose."

"No Dean, come on. Don't be a chicken"

Rory could see that Dean was very close to jump up, but something kept him back and she knew it was her.

"So you're afraid of letting your girl down I see. That's to damn bad."

"For you. Come on Rory, let's go."

And see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colours
True colours, true colours

Are shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid; just let them show
Your true colours, true colours
True colours are beautiful,
So beautiful, like a rainbow

Rory and Dean almost ran inside Luke's. Lorelai looked surprised when she saw them so early.

"Mom?"

"Hey hun, hey Dean. What's up?"

"Just some boy. Nothing major."

"Oh okay"

"So… What happened? I want every detail!" Rory ran over to her mother and started jumping up and down. Dean was standing in the doorway starring at the two Gilmore girls. They were some kind of a mystery. He couldn't help it, but look at Lorelai's face. It seemed like she was back together with Luke. It wouldn't make sense else way. At the same time the bells above the door jingled and somebody entered just behind Dean.

"So this is where Chicken and his bride is hiding" the boy exclaimed as he walked passed Dean and walked over to the counter. At the same Liz ran down the stairs.

"Jess where have you been?"

Rory gave her mother a questioning look. Who was that woman?

Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah, Yeah), Yeah(Yeah), Yeah(Yeah)

Show me your colours,
(Show me your colours)
Show me your rainbow,
(Beautiful)
Like a rainbow,(Show Me your colours)

"Hey Lorelai, good coffee, huh?" Liz asked and Lorelai just smiled. Then Liz saw Rory and Dean.

"Hello, you are."

"Liz, this is my daughter Rory. And that is her boyfriend Dean."

"Ah Rory. I've heard all about you."

"You have?"

Lorelai laughed a little. Apparently Luke had told his sister a bit about her and Rory, maybe more than a bit.

"Rory, this is Liz Luke's sister and her son Jess."

Colours, Colours(True Colours shine)
Show me your rainbow, so beautiful
thats why I love you
show me your colours (True Colours Shinin through)
show me your rainbow, beautiful
oohooh show me your colours, colours, colours

"So what was all that about?" Lorelai asked Luke later that day. They were sitting on the couch watching "You've got mail". Lorelai had forced Luke to watch it. She'd used around two hours on talking about Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and how they were secretly in love while they pretended to hate each other.

"What was all what about?"

"Liz, Jess… You know"

"Oh that… Well, Liz wanted Jess to move to Stars Hollow."

"I heard that. But why did you turn her down"

"I just… He's 17 and totally out of control."

"and?"

"We just got back together. I don't want to spend all the time I have trying to teach him to behave."

"I could've helped."

"Trust me. When Liz can't handle him, no one can."

So, I hope you wont declare me mean this time :P Well, don't forget to push the little pretty button. All of you !
