What Went Wrong?

Chapter 1

This was the way she should have felt when she broke up with Max and Christopher or even Jason. She should have been lying in bed for days not wanting to eat or drink and only watching really old love movies. She had never felt this way before but deep down she had always known Luke was different. She had just never seen it but since she had she had been so happy, happier than she had been in a long while. The wedding changed all of that. He had said he didn't want to go but she pushed him. If she hadn't they wouldn't be broken up. What really bugged her was why she hadn't told him about the tequila night. Nothing had happened but she had hid it. Then she saw Christopher at the wedding she knew she would have to tell him. She knew something bad would happen as soon as Christopher opened his mouth, something always did. She just never though it would end up with her and Luke breaking up. She missed his coffee and their sleepovers but most of all she missed him; they way he made her feel, they way he made her laugh but most of how he made her feel loved. Now she was just lying in her bed all alone. She would occasionally forget he wasn't their and lean over to kiss him or just see him but was soon realised that he wasn't their, not any more.

"Mum." She heard Rory's voice from downstairs. "Mum! Where are you?" Lorelia heard her door open as Rory entered the room.

"Oh my god. Mum what happened"

"Luke" This was all she could get out.

"Luke?"

"Wedding" She had been at the wedding and had seen Luke storm off but her mum had said that everything was ok, that they were ok.

"What happened at the wedding?"

"We…We broke up"

"What". Rory couldn't believe it. She along with the rest of the town had known Luke and her mum were meant to be together. What had gone wrong?

"Mum, can you tell me what happened. It might make you feel better to get it off your chest."

Lorelia explained what happened to Rory. Right from the tequila night right up until Doose's a few hours before. The further into the story Lorelia got the more upset she became. When she finished she was so upset that Rory was scared. She had never seen her mum like this before. Her mum had always been strong. She was never the one to cry over a guy; that was until Luke. Rory knew she cared for Luke but she never guess she had fallen so hard for him. Lorelai had never opened up to a man like she did with Luke. This was because they were friends before they had gotten into a relationship. He knew all of her habits and her annoying obsessions. They also didn't have to go through that 'getting to know you' faze if the relationship.

"Mum try and get some sleep, it will do you good."

"No I'm fine. I don't need sleep." She kept trying to convince Rory that she didn't need to sleep but the more she tried to convince Rory the more tired she got. Eventually she gave up and closed her eyes.


"What are you doing?"

"Will you just stand still."

This kiss was sweet, better then any other. The only thought that was running through her mind was "Wow. I'm kissing Luke and I like it. Wait I'm kissing Luke and I like it. I can't be kissing Luke. What will happen to our friendship? I can't loose that." She pulled away but as she did she started to regret it. The kiss had been amazing, definitely one of the best. She started to move in. She wanted to know if all of Luke's kisses would be like that or if it was a one time thing.

"What are you doing?"

"Will you just stand still" She tried to come up with a witty comment cause she knew he liked it but that was all she could come up with. The second kiss was as amazing as the first. It was deep and passiona…..

With that Lorelia woke up. She had been having the same dream almost every night since the break up. She hated it because it reminded her of everything she had and now lost. She missed him so much. She hadn't just lost her boyfriend but she had also lost her boyfriend. She knew at that moment that she had to fix it. She needed him back.


Why had he said that? He didn't want out. He wanted in; he wanted to be with her forever. He had loved her for the last 8 years. Everyone had known it. It had taken him a while to but he was so glad that he had. He had been so happy with her but he knew he would always be jealous of Christopher. He was Rory's father and Lorelai's first love. How was he to compete with that? When ever he came back something would happen between them. They would sleep together or they would even get back together. Luke was just scared that she would leave him for Christopher. He knew he was just being the jealous boyfriend, now ex, but that couldn't be helped. Even when they weren't together he would be jealous of any guy that was with her. They could spend all there time with her, kiss her, hug her. None of which he could have done. He had always been scared of taking the friendship to the next step because he was scared she wouldn't feel the same. If he had known she had he would have made his feeling known a very long time ago because then maybe they wouldn't be in this predicament. They could even possibly be married. He knew that that was a long shot but he was allowed to dream.

"Luke we need some help down here," Lane yelled from downstairs bring Luke back to reality.

"Fine I'm coming." He didn't mean for it to come out so angrily but since Lorelai he didn't really care how he was perceived.

As soon as he entered the diner all he saw were happy and smiley faces. He felt like he could kill them all. He wasn't in a happy mood and wanted every one to feel the pain that he was feeling. The second thing he noticed was that they were all wearing these blue and pink ribbons. He had never notices them before. Why were they wearing them? What were they for? How long had people been wearing them? All of these questions went through his mind but were all answer but one simple sentence.

"Properly another one of Taylor stupid ideas." But then something in his head clicked. He remember back to the conversation that took place at the town meeting he and Lorelia had gone to right after they had gotten together. Did it have any thing to do with that? Was the town really that shallow? Did the town take what he said seriously?


"Okay, that's it. I've heard enough. This is my relationship -- mine, not yours, not yours, not yours, yours, but not yours. Mine and hers but not yours! There's not gonna be any more debating about whether or not it's a good idea if we're in a relationship, 'cause we're in a relationship."

"Show them the horoscope" he heard Lorelai yell from the back of the room. This made him smile. He like the fact that she kept bringing up the horoscope. It showed that she really cared that he had kept it in his wallet all those years,

"But in the event of a break up..."

"There's not going to be a break up" I Hope

"Well, isn't he the optimistic fellow" Gypsy said from her chair in the front row.

"Fine. In case of a break up, I'll move. I'll close up Luke's Diner, I'll go far, far away, and that way you won't have to choose, okay? Every section in town can be pink." As he said that he though he saw Lorelai's face drop but he couldn't be sure.

"Can we have your word on that?" Taylor always wanted everything to be his way.

"You can have my word and a couple of middle fingers on that, Taylor."…

As Luke looked around the dinner he saw most people were wearing the pink ribbons. He knew what they were for, blue for him and pink for Lorelai. As he looked around the dinner and seeing most people wearing the pink ones he knew he had to keep his word. He was going to have to close up Luke diner. He was going to have to leave the only place he had ever called home. He was going to have to leave Star Hollow but most painful of them all he was going to have to leave Lorelai.
