I really shouldn't be writting this fic now. I still have one barly touched and kinda forgotten, but this idea was just hunting me for quite a LOOOOOOOONG time, so I hope you'll read and review:D
The concept is kinda complivated so read very careful:
Summary: At the end of season 2 Lorelai decides to go to her parents and explain what happened with her and Chris. Rory is already in Washington and Jess is still in New York. Luke and Lorelai are still fighting. What if something unrealistic happens to Lorelai and Luke's the only one who can help her..?
the whole idea of it is based on the movie "Just like heaven", any resemblence are made on purpose, I do not own the idea, just likeI do not own GG.
If you haven't seen the movie, I hope you'll like it, if you have then I hope you will still read and like it
BIG thanks to Kari for the fast beta! you rocks!
oh off with the babbling, on with the story!
"Gah!" Lorelai screamed shutting the door to her parent's house behind her with a loud thud.
She was so mad and frustrated that she didn't hear Emily calling after her, "Lorelai Gilmore! Come back here, right now! This conversation isn't finished yet!" But Lorelai was already opening the door to her car, not even glancing back.
She knew very well before she had gone to dinner how her mother would react to the news about her, Chris and his baby with Sherry. Yet she fooled herself into thinking that maybe it would be ok.
She really wanted Rory to be by her side during this confrontation, knowing very well that there were things her mother wouldn't say in front of her granddaughter. But on the other hand, Lorelai knew she couldn't bring Rory into this, especially after it was her father who had failed them both again, even if for the first and probably the only time in his life he was had good reasons. It was good that Rory was now in Washington. Hopefully, she would somehow forget what happened or be distracted enough to not think about it, especially with Paris keeping her busy 24/7.
Lorelai turned on the engine and hit the speed forcefully leaving the Gilmore mansion behind her. She still couldn't believe the awful things that Emily was able to say to her own daughter, not to mention her father's reaction as well.
Once she was on the road, Lorelai sped up wanting nothing more than to just be home as soon as possible. She was seriously craving Luke's coffee right now, but then it hit her again that they were still 'fighting', even if Luke insisted otherwise. He was still like an iceberg to her.
Lorelai felt as if there was no one left for her to go to since even Sookie was out of town on her honeymoon with Jackson. She was really happy that her friend had found the one and that they had finally gotten married, but still she couldn't stop herself from feeling a little bitter about the fact she was all alone.
She didn't even realize she'd been crying till a single tear fall down her cheek. She turned around onto the next street, but didn't see the huge truck driving in the opposite direction.
She immediately started to slow down the car, but it was too late. The last thing she saw was the lights of the truck, his loud honk ringing in her ears.
Luke was lying in his bed, desperately trying to fall asleep after a long day of work and before an even longer one to come. He was tossing around trying to find the most comfortable position, but deep down inside he knew it wasn't about the uncomfortable-ness of the bed, or the fact he was hearing some noises from the street since it was still pretty early in the evening for that.
Therewas a reasonhe hadn't been falling asleep easily for quite some time now, making his days even more exhausting due to lack of sleep.
He couldn't stop thinking that he failed.
Failed as a brother, as an uncle, and as a friend. He could still see Jess sitting on the bridge. He could still see Jess's face when he told him that he had to go back to New York. He could still hear Liz's voice in his head, telling him that he must find another way. But the most clear voice in his head was Lorelai screaming "Go to hell!". He could see her unmistakably with those eyes full of hurt, anger, and accusation.
And then he remembered all the rumors about Christopher coming back to town, escorting her to the wedding, kissing her in front of everyone. He didn't know why but he felt a deep pain in his stomach every time he thought about it.
After a few more minutes of turning back and forth on his single bed, Luke finally threw the covers aside and stood up. He made his way to the kitchen thinking that maybe a little bit of hydration would help, since he had already downed all the water he always left on his nightstand.
Luke had taken not more than one or two steps when he saw a single figure sitting on his couch.
"Jeez!" he exclaimed immediately, his hand flying right to his chest as he breathed out.
"Lorelai?" he finally asked in a whisper, shocked at the sight of her, not even knowing what to ask her first: what she was doing there, or how she got there.
"What the hell?" he finally mumbled. "Lorelai?" he asked again making his way to the couch thinking that maybe he was just imagining everything.
"Luke?" she finally replied in a soft, strange voice.
"What are you doing here?" Luke asked, his voice getting cold again. He hated to be this way to her, but he couldn't help it. Not after what had happened.
"I don't know," she replied simply, finally turning her head toward him, after staring into space all this time.
"You don't know? How did you get here?" Somehow Luke's voice started to sound more gentle. He didn't know why, but just the sight of her sitting on his couch in the dark was melting the icey shield he had erected after their fight.
" I just.. I..." She couldn't get the words out.
"Are you all right? Did something happen? Do you need something?" Luke asked with concern. Something here wasn't right and he was perfectly aware of it.
He was now standing directly in front of her.
"I don't know," Lorelai replied again the same. Luke wanted nothing more than to just bend down and hug her, but something stopped him.
There was the only thought that came to his mind. "Do you wanna stay the night? Jess's bed is free. You can take it. There's a clean blanket at the edge," he offered. He knew Lorelai well enough that she would tell him what was wrong when she was ready and knew that he would be there for her then.
"That would be nice," she said in a whisper and smiled a little at him.
"Ok," was his only reply as he made his way to the kitchen area, totally confused by the whole situation, but thinking that maybe the lack of sleep was taking away some of his rational thinking.
Luke filled the glass in his hand with some water and turned around to find Lorelai sitting on Jess's bed looking back at him.
"You sure, you're alright?" Luke tried again, full of concern, even if he knew she wasn't going to tell him now.
"Yes," she replied weakly. "Thank you for letting me stay," she added as he was now sitting on his own bed at the other end of the apartment.
"Tell me if you need anything, ok?" Luke requested laying back. He still couldn't wrap his brain around what was going on but he knew one thing, at least she was safe here.
"Ok," was the last thing he heard from her as his eyes closed automatically and he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.
The next morning Luke woke up to the annoying sound of his alarm.
He groaned into the pillow, frantically hitting his left hand on the night stand.
He couldn't believe how well he had slept that night. It was like Lorelai showing up was a magical treatment for his tired nerves.
"Lorelai," he whispered to himself, remembering the events from the previous night. He immediately get out of bed to see if she really was alright, since last night he wasn't able to get anything out of her. He was scared that something had happened to her or Rory or maybe that jerk Chris did something to her. Somehow he felt that last night he had acted totally irrational for the situation and he was ready to fix it now.
He made his way to Jess's bed, only to find it empty.
"Lorelai?" he called, thinking that maybe she went to the bathroom, but there was no reply. The blanket and the pillow looked untouched as if no one had slept there that night.
Curious, he made his way to the bathroom just to be sure, but the door was open so she couldn't have been there, which he confirmed as he looked inside.
Luke stood in the middle of his apartment scratching his head thinking that either Lorelai was never there and his imagination had played tricks with him or she had just woken up before him and had gone back home not wanting to disturb him.
"Great," Luke sighed, knowing that he will have to check on her later just to be sure everything is all right and somehow get out of her what the hell she was doing in his apartment in the first place.
Taking a deep breath Luke made his way to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
Later that morning Luke was standing behind the counter serving breakfast to some of the tourists that were traveling through the town. He was surprised that Kirk hasn't showed up yet, but after thinking a little he guessed that probably Kirk's mother had grounded him once again for coming back home after 10 a.m.
Just then, the bell above the rang announcing the arrival of new customers. He hoped that maybe Lorelai would show up and explain everything, but he immediately knew it wasn't her. The bell just didn't rang the way it normally did when she was walking through the door.
"I'll be there in a second, sit wherever," Luke called and grabbed the pad from under the counter.
"Actually, I'm not here to eat," Miss Patty finally spoke, her voice shaking. Luke looked up just to find tears on her face.
"What the hell happened?" he asked immediately, dropping the pad back on the counter.
"It's…It's" Miss Patty couldn't finish because another wave of tears had hit her.
"What happened!" Luke demanded, the worst scenario swimming in his head. "Did something happen to someone!"
"Lorelai…" was the only thing Miss Patty was able to say through her sobs.
"Lorelai!" Luke's face went white, he knew something was wrong last night. "What about her? What's wrong with her!" Luke almost screamed impatiently waiting for the answer.
"Last night.. there.. there was an accident," Babette finally said. Luke hadn't even realized she had walked in.
"Last night?" Luke asked confused. 'Last night she was here,' he thought. "What accident! Where is she?" Luke finally lost it and yelled at them, wanting to know everything immediately.
"She was coming…. back home from …her… her parents when she ran.. ran… into a truck" Babetted said through sobs.
"The hospital called Sookie since she was first after Rory on her emergency list and Rory is out of town," Miss Patty tried to explain, since she finally could calm herself a little.
"What hospital!" Luke cut her off. He was sure it was all a mistake, after all Lorelai was at his apartment last night, he was sure about it. He just needed to go to the hospital and see for himself that it was all a mistake…
TBC...?
