Chapter 13 Uncover Your Eyes
'Now what?' Jess asked weakly, rubbing tears off his cheek and looked at Lorelai with a desperate face. ' I don't want to go back to my mom.'
Lorelai looked at the kid with so much sympathy, she pulled him into her embrace. ' I don't know Jess, but I will do anything for you to keep you away from Liz, stay with me for now, okay?' Jess nodded and the two slowly walked towards the exit door of the hospital.
'Sir, we can't let you out of the hospital now! Sir!' a nurse was stopping a man in wheelchairs.
' I SAID I AM FINE! I NEED TO GET OUT HERE AND FIND MY KID ALRIGHT!He's all alone for the whole day, scared to death and waiting for me! So for the last time, LET ME GO!' the man yelled so loud that all the people in the hallway could hear him. The voice caught Jess and Lorelai's attention, Jess turned his head towards the direction of the voice. Far ahead, he saw Luke.
'Uncle Luke!' Jess shouted in excitement, he instantly let go of Lorelai's hand and ran to the man in wheelchair.
'Jess!' Luke shouted back and speeded up his wheelchair. Jess jumped onto his uncle and burst into tears.
Luke whispered, ' I said I'm here, I'm always here and I meant that. I will never leave you or give up on you even if Jimmy or Liz or whoever doesn't want you. Jess, I know I'm not your dad and you're not my son, but everyday I tried my best to be a father for you, to make you feel like home, to make you believe that the world is more than people like your mother, Jimmy and Jack. I care about you more than you can imagine. I'm sorry if my best wasn't enough, I'm sorry, I'm still learning, please forgive me. But don't you ever run away from me like that, do you know how worried I was!'
Luke couldn't help but let tears fall on his face, the moment the truck ran over, he thought he would be dead and Jess will be back in that daunting life again. He hated himself for not being better for Jess, he really wanted Jess to have a better life, a childhood, a father, but he didn't know how to exactly be one that would be perfect for Jess, he blamed himself for Jess leaving to see his biological father.
Luke hugged Jess tighter as he felt his right chest was all soaked with Jess's tears and smoothed the boy's back. Luke turned his head up and he saw Lorelai in tears right in front of him. They both exchanged a small bittersweet smile. ' Jess I really need to talk to Lorelai first ok? Can you sit there and wait for a little while?' Jess nodded while sniffling and having hiccups and walked to the chairs in the hallway.
'Lorelai...I know I said I'm done. But I know I'm not done, I'm damn sure that I'm not done. When the truck was crashing, my mind was blank, the only thing I saw was your face. If I die I wouldn't see you again, I won't be able to listen to your annoying hyper voice, I won't be able to make you billions cup of suicide coffee. I'm sorry for all I said, but I just want you to know, I'm not done. I'm all in, Lorelai, I'm all in.'
Luke looked at Lorelai patiently and hope that Lorelai with give him a yes. Lorelai just bend down, put her hands on his face and kissed him with all she had, ' I love you, Luke.'
A/N ok I know it's been a week and it's a short chapter, but the 'i love you' is so strong that I think it will best to put other things on the next chapter, sorry for waiting! so this is what really happened, the other body was the truck driver, the hospital mixed up Luke with the truck driver. Luke has broken legs and arms and injured his neck as well but he's not dead :D thank you for reading and as always, reviews are greatly greatly appreciated! next chapter... Angels and Snowflakes, stay tuned ;)
junienmomo: thank you for your review!Sorry about the jigsaw puzzle , but yay you got the hint! And Luke is still alive! I would not dare to kill off Luke like this. He's too important! I would hate to see Jess's life fall apart because of the death of the only person who truly cared about him. And can you imagine the guilt Jess must have felt if Luke died? sigh... no I can't do that to these beloved characters.
RhizOniell: thank you for your review! Luke is one of my favourite character (can't decide, either Luke/Jess), I myself will be heartbroken if Luke is really dead. Let me know what you think of this really short chapter! :)
ImTheNana: thank you for your review! You got it! It was a mistake :) no worries, Luke is not gonna die under my watch! Let me know what you think of this chapter!
Droolia: thank you for your review! Yup you got the hint! That wasn't Luke ;) Glenn almost died in walking dead?! I stopped watching walking dead after season 4 I think (right after the finale of the crew being captured by the human eaters...) I should get back to it, because I wanna see how Glenn almost died! Yes about the route, I just assumed there will be another highway or something heading to New York. Sorry if it didn't sound too realistic, I'm not very sure about the routes in the States, I just assumed ,
kcole6206: thank you for your review! You got it! Luke's alive! Yay! Let me know what you think of this really short chapter!
Anon1: thank you for your review! Love your reaction! No worries, Luke should never die like this! Lorelai and Luke are meant to be together ;) *hint hint. Jess to me will always be that little sensitive, soft hearted on the inside, pretend to be tough on the outside, little boy. I have a hard time killing his uncle off of this story because of him, I can't imagine how he would react or how his life would be if Luke really die. Hope you got a chance to watch the show, it's way less dark than my story here, haha.
