(A/N- this takes place after the season 3 finale. Jess didn't go straight
to California. He actually went back to New York for 6 months and then
finally got up the courage to go see his father in California. It is now
christmas and Jess is off and decides to fly back to Stars Hollow for
Christmas and face Luke, Rory, and the rest of the town. And that's sort of
where this story begins oh! And Rory has been at Yale for 4 months.)
Part 1: The Phone Call
"LUCAS!!"
"Hey Lorelai."
"Hey Luke." They smiled at one another as Lorelai took her normal seat at the counter. Ever since Rory had gone to Yale she would always sit at the same place at the counter. Right in front of the coffee pot and the phone. Luke as usual got Lorelai her coffee. "So why is the diner so deserted this morning?"
"I dunno...we have our busy days and we have our slow days.....this would be a slow day. So have you heard from Rory recently?"
"Yeah! We just talked last night actually. I call her every Monday and Thursday and she calls me on Wednesdays."
"Oh so you guys made out a schedual?"
"Nope. It just turns out that way."
"Of course." The phone rings. "Hold on." People start to crowd into the diner. Of course it's when Luke takes the phone call. Lorelai can only hear one side of the conversation....and it's annoying the crap out of her! She's so nosy. "Hello?........oh. What do you want..........what?" His voice was shaking. Lorelai had never seen this from Luke....there was something wrong. "I.......uhhh.....................yeah.........I'll call her...ya no problem........i'll see what I can do......ok......yeah...bye." He hung up the phone and stared down at the floor in complete shock.
"Luke? Hey Lucas! LUKEY!" He slowly turned his stunned gaze towards her. "Hey what's wrong?" Tears were forming slowly in his eyes as she spoke. "Jeez Luke what's goin on!" He stared at her not sure what to say. He motioned for her to follow him upstairs.
APARTMENT
Luke sat down on Jess's old bed with his head in his hands, tears slowly falling to the floor, he looked up into Lorelai's eyes and spoke finally. "I need to talk to you."
