Make This Go on Forever

By: Litizreal

Summary: After hearing a song on the radio, Luke comes to some realizations and plans to get back what he misses; Lorelai.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or characters. Nor do I own CHFI 98.1 Chum Media does, and I don't own Snow Patrol, or their lyrics. I do own a ticket to see them in a month..SQUEE! The song if anyone is interested is.. Make this go on forever by Snow Patrol.. An awesome song, that just happens to fit perfectly.

Author Note: I need some Java Junkie action, and after tonight's episode… I suddenly remembered why all of us have been waiting patiently for it for years. They are meant to be. I also don't know if Luke Danes would ever say Schmultz, but I've heard some burly men say it, and I figured I would take a chance. RnR! Btw…Happy Valentine's day folks. Do what I do.. Watch Gilmore Girls on this most auspicious of days.

Luke Danes watched as a happy couple walked down the street and he sighed. He was never a fan of conventional holidays, but Valentine's Day was the worst. He had never especially liked them. In grade school, something about doing those stupid homemade cards bothered him, and most of the girls giggled if they got a card from him (which was only when the teacher made him) but he never really found anything lacking in his life, when he stopped paying attention to the holiday. When he had met Lorelai, he sometimes in his most frivolous and schmultziest of moods would imagine how he would sweep her off her feet with some grand gesture that he had learnt women were into, and that she would tell him just what he had been dying to hear from her very lips. 'I love you too!'

But it never happened, and by the time that Valentines came when he had Lorelai it had certainly not gone to plan. The first was when they were on their break, and their second was anything but romantic. He had been surprised on how hurt and worried Lorelai had been. Didn't she know what she meant to him? And by the time he had figured out how to explain to her just what he felt, it was too late. He had been too slow, too cautious with his feelings and she was gone.

His last valentine's day had been anything but good, he had been alone in his apartment, being the perpetual bachelor that Anna had accused him of. He had felt alone and bitter and he hadn't even opened the diner that day. It was also the day that Lorelai had left town without much word to anyone. All that he could find out was that her marriage to Christopher had ended and she had taken some job she was offered overseas and she came back once or twice to settle things with the Inn and that was it. Luke had certainly hadn't seen or heard from her since he had caught a glance of her through one of the picture windows of the Diner. The only thing he now had of her was the engagement ring that she had sent to him through the mail and a few pictures she had managed to take and leave there during their entire crazy relationship.

So he sat in the leather chair that had been in the same place since he could remember and the radio was on soft, and he wanted to get up and turn it off and sit in the dark with his beer, and try not to think of the years upon years of loneliness he was facing.

"CHFI 98.1, Welcome back and here's a single off of Snow Patrol's latest album Eyes Open"

Luke sighed and he was definitely going to turn it off but something about the first few line of the song caught his attention.

"Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could"

As he continued to listen to the song, he couldn't help but think this was the very song that explained everything that he was feeling.

"Please save me from this darkness"

The voice had pleaded in the song, and suddenly it all came clear to Luke. He had not been open or willing to tell her what was going on, and he couldn't use the excuse that he needed time. He was in a committed relationship, and you had to communicate. Didn't that book on tape say that exact thing. To communicate was the only way to keep a relationship going? Luke needed to take action, and it would have to be something that he would normally never do.. He would find Lorelai, even if he had to chase after her and he would get her back. He was not going to let her slip away from him again.

Luke got up and grabbed his coat and ran out of the apartment and building and went to find Sookie and try to get her to tell him her location. He had to see her, even if it was just him, he needed her.
