Lorelai didn't believe what she saw when she first stood in front of Luke's diner. There must be some mistake, she thought, this couldn't be happening. But it unfortunately was. "Going out of business. Closing November 29th" The sign read. It was November 21st.

How could, Luke's go out of business? It was always packed. And Luke was her friend. He couldn't do this to everyone!

Lorelai entered the diner with a face of confusion. She was no longer hungry. She just felt sick, but took a seat at the counter.

" What's wrong?" Luke asked as he poured coffee into a cup and handed it to Lorelai.

She was still unable to speak.

So she waited…

"Come on, why are you so damn upset? He asked

"How could you do this?!" she finally spoke. "What about Kirk?"

"What?" Luke said confused

" Kirk is in here every day. Without this place he would be lost!"

" Lorelai…."

" And what about that couple over there. I see them in here at least once a week. Where could they get their coffee without you!?"

" Lorelai…"

"Did Taylor put you up to this?"

"LORELAI!" she shouted.

Tears began to fill her eyes. "What about me?"

There was an awkward silence throughout the diner. Luke looked at Lorelai confused and hurt. Her face matched his identically.

"It's for the best…" he began to whisper

" It is not! Luke! What would this town do without you and your diner. Everybody loves this place. I love this place."

Luke was hurt. " It's for the best, Lorelai. I have to go. I have to leave Star's hallow!

" But why?"

"There's not a need for me here. I'm practically useless."

"You aren't useless. You're useful!"

"As what? The weird man in the baseball cap who pours Lorelai Gilmore's coffee?"

"You're more then that!"

"Then what am I? "

"It doesn't matter. But you have to change your mind!"

"I can't. It's already sold it. I'll be gone in eight days."

"You sold this place? To who?"

"Taylor."

"Taylor? What does Taylor want with it?"

" I don't know, another bakery maybe, but he bought it for a high price."

"Luke. This town loves you. You can't leave."

"But I am"

"But Luke. I love you."

Luke's eyes were wide and a serious expression crossed his face. Tears poured down Lorelai's eyes, which were now red and puffy. She had said more then she had meant to. But it was true. The silence broke when the coffee cup Luke was holding shattered to the floor. Lorelai grabbed her bag and ran quickly out of the diner, which was soon to be a bakery.
