I'll Never Leave You
Disclaimer: I'm not smart enough to own anything or anyone.
A/N: I've made the decision to start editing this story. I know I should really do something like this after I've finished the whole story but I couldn't wait. Nothing major will change, it's mostly getting rid of sloppy phrases and adding some new (but minor) things here and there.

Chapter 1
He wanted to throttle someone.
Preferably the uniformed men that were carelessly dropping his things wherever they pleased.
The young man let out a sigh and glared at one of the men who passed him by. "You better be careful with that box or I'll sue you for breaking a paying customer's property," he growled as the man stopped in front of him
The uniformed man turned to face the scowling younger man. He let his boredom show as he raised an eyebrow at him. "Uh-huh, that sure is interesting Sir." He gave him a cocky grin before saluting him, "Don't worry kiddo, we'll be careful!"
Before the younger man could reply, he was gone. "Well, I do worry," he muttered under his breath, running his hand through his wavy dark brown hair. His green eyes roamed over the area of green that was now his front yard. He finally spotted what he was looking for.
He walked up to the young girl, around the age of 17 that was sitting on the grass looking up at the bright blue sky. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be helping me move our stuff into our new house? Or are you too busy doing," he waved his hand around and sat down, "What are you doing?"
The girl looked away from the sky and turned to face him. Her dark green eyes stared into his lighter ones. She brushed away the fallen wavy hair that covered her right eye.
"Did you know that the sky is bluer here than in New York?"
"Um, I think the sky is the same no matter what place we're in Tammy…Now get up and help me move the boxes with those men before they break all of our stuff." He started to get up when she pulled him down again.
"Do I have to help?" She whined looking at him with her big puppy dog eyes.
"Yes baby sister, you have to help me," he said brightly as ruffled her hair. "Come on, I don't trust these guys with our—"
CRASH!
"—Stuff," he finished with large eyes. "Ah crap, I better go." He ran of leaving his sister to stare after him.
Sighing, she got up off the grass to follow the sound cursing.

A sliver BMW rolled up to the diner and a blond stepped out. He opened the door to Luke's to see an amusing sight in front of him.
"Luke! Luke! Lucas Danes, you will stop walking away from me right now!" Lorelai shouted as she followed her boyfriend around the tiny diner.
"Lorelai, just go back and sit down. If you haven't realized I'm trying to work here." He turned to Rory, who was sitting on a stool in conversation with her best friend Jess. "Rory please, I am begging you, get your crazy mother to sit down."
"Shame on you Luke, I thought you could handle your girlfriend yourself," Jess commented receiving a whack around the head from Luke's tea towel.
"Child abuse." He grumbled while rubbing his head. Rory began to laugh at Jess when a pair of warm hands wrapped around her tiny waist. A head rested on her shoulder and a pair of lips whispered in her ear, "Mary, Mary, Mary. Miss me?" The lips kissed her neck.
Butterflies took off in her stomach. Damn that Tristan, he always seemed to have that effect on her. He sat down on the spare stool next to his brunette girlfriend.
Rory shook her head and gave him a pitying look. "Eh, not much, sorry to burst your bubble," Rory said trying her best to disguise the cheeky smile that fought to get on to her face.
Tristan crinkled his brow, "You're mean."
"Ah and yet you still love me. Love is mighty strange isn't it?" She leaned over and kissed him. It was soft and gentle, until Tristan started to rub the side of her cheek and, yep – those butterflies were off again. He broke the kiss and looked at her.
"Hi," he whispered.
"Hey," Rory smiled happily.
"Sorry to ruin this love scene you two got going on but it's kinda making my lunch rise. I'm out of here, help Luke okay Rory?" Jess grabbed his jacket from under the counter and walked towards the door, silently still concerned for his head.
After watching Jess leave, Tristan nodded towards the older couple. "What's going on with those two?" Tristan asked pointed to the scene that was happening between the couple.
"Please Luke, I beg you! I'll get down on my knees…" She turned to Tristan, "that wasn't meant to be rude so don't get any images."
"Ugh, mom!" Rory said covering her ears with her boyfriend's hands, making Tristan chuckle.
"Look Lorelai, let me repeat myself one more time if the first hundred times it didn't sink into your head. I am not and I repeat not going to let you have regular coffee when you're pregnant!"
"C'mon, stop being mean to me! Give me the coffee, I want the coffee!" She chanted as she started to bang her hand on the counter.
"Sorry but I want my child to be nice and healthy, main word being 'healthy'." Luke turned to Rory, "Rory get your mom to sit down before I do something I regret." Luke said walking off into the store room.
Lorelai sat down on a stool next to her first child and started to groan about how ridiculous her boyfriend was acting.
"I drank loads of coffee when I was pregnant with Rory and look how perfect she turned out to be. So, why is he being so damn stubborn?!"
"Don't worry mom he's just being protective of you that's all. Look, when we get home I'll allow you to have one cup of normal coffee," Rory told her trying to reason with her.
Lorelai rested her head in one hand and proceeded to pout. She twirled a finger in the air and sarcastically remarked, "Score!"

Outside Jess walked around having nothing to do. He didn't feel in the mood for reading the book in his back pocket, The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, so he instead he was walking around completely bored out of his mind. When he saw Taylor shouting at a red and blue uniformed man on his left, Jess stopped and decided to watch.
"I should call your boss and get him to fire you!" Taylor shouted getting all red in the face. "These two people are moving into their new house and you're breaking all of their stuff! That isn't really very customer friendly now is it? This is disgraceful," Taylor ranted.
The older man with a 'Manager' badge, nodded at Taylor with a calm expression. "On the behalf of my workers, we are sorry for any damage we may have caused to your possessions. I think the company will be more than happy to pay for any damages that we may have caused to your property," the man said addressing the couple who were paying close attention to what was being said.
"We will be in contact for sure. Once again, we're all sorry." And with that the red and blue uniformed men got in there van and left the streets of Stars Hollow.
The green eyed man turned to shake Taylor's hand, "Thank you Mr. Doose for your help."
"Don't worry young man; it was wrong of him to do that to you and your girlfriend."
"Yeah it was wrong of him but, this isn't my girlfriend, no she's my little sister Tammy. I'm Jason," he told the man while shaking his hand.
"Ah yes, okay. You both can call me Taylor and if you need anything just ask, I own the market around the corner," he said pointing in the direction of Doose's.
Jason nodded and Tammy just stood their smiling trying to be polite, even if she was bored out of her mind. Taylor walked of to leave the two to their own business when he spotted Jess leaning on a wall looking over at the new residents.
"Ah Jess. Lurking as always?" Without waiting for a remark, Taylor carried on. "Now Jess, I have a wonderful idea."
Jess inwardly groaned as he asked in a mono-tone voice, "Well, are you going to enlighten me then?"
"How about you and Rory and maybe even that Tristan boy go around to the new house and show your faces? I'm sure they'd appreciate someone to show them around town."
Jess immediately declined the idea.
"Now Jess, it'll show that you have town spirit! Besides, it doesn't look like you have anything else to do," he said, referring to what he was doing at the moment, leaning on a wall.
This time Jess groaned aloud, "Fine. I'll go get the others."
Done (:
