A/N: New Story!! Yay!! This is how I think LL should get back together. It is taking place a month after Mia's wedding. Told in both Luke and Lorelai's POV

Despite Everything

As I walked the calm, quiet, friendly streets of my favorite witty town Stars Hollow.. I couldn't help but wonder...When? When am I going to realize that I have to do something before it is to late? I let out a heavy sigh. There was things I needed to do. So I built up my courage..and walked the oh so familiar path towards the diner, in desperate need of coffee.

I walked past the clear glass windows, and seen him. His back facing the coffee machine. I slowly walked up the steps and grabbed the doorknob. But before I twisted my wrists I hesitated...maybe it wasn't the right time. I shook it off and turned the knob. Clutching my purse for support (with my other hand) I opened the door. Which allowed that lovely bell to jingle above me. Damn, I thought the bell was annoying, but I knew I missed it.

He probably didn't here the the bell ring..after all it was almost dinner, the place was packed. Almost like that diner on Groundhog Day, oh wait I think I was thinking of some other movie. So, I sat down at the nearest empty table. I kept my back to him, and decided to look out the window.

As I watched people from the distance and people just walking by...I knew what I wanted. I had seen Lane and Zach holding hands, pushing their double stroller with those beautiful twin boys inside. They were young..but so perfect for each other, and the four of them looked adorable together. It was that time of year, It was getting warmer out, anybody who was anybody was outside enjoying the fresh air.

From a distance I could see Sookie, Jackson, Davey and Martha having a picnic in the square. The were all laughing. Sookie was getting to the point in her pregnancy where she was really starting to show. They all looked so happy...a family.

That's what I wanted, happiness. I wanted to be a part of a family...I wanted someone I could count on, I wanted someone to make me feel secure.

Footsteps interrupted my thoughts, and somehow I knew they were his. He turned to the left side of me, and gave me a questioning look. He closed his eyes and reopened them. As if he was making sure I wasn't a mirage.

"Hey." he said kind of awkwardly.

"Hey." I practically choked out, just as weird...unsure of how I should say it.

"Coffee?" he asked, and actually that sounded normal.

I only nodded, being careful not to make myself look ridiculous when I did. Talking was awkward, too awkward. But I really didn't want it to be. I desperately didn't want it to be.

He walked away, and filled the mug at the counter.

I sighed. And after that, I wasn't really sure what I was doing...and I swear it wasn't my original intention. I just ran from my problems again. I opened my purse, took out a pen, and scribbled something down on a napkin, then I hurried out before he would come back. I guess my coffee craving would have to wait.

As I watched her walk away, I just couldn't help but think what I have been thinking for so long now...I miss her. I sighed, and set the mug down on table where she was sitting and headed for the door I opened it..and I noticed everyone was watching me, so being the unsure person that I am, I closed the door.

As I picked up the mug, I noticed the napkin, something small written on it. I piked it up and it read

"I'm Sorry."

I smiled...but I was unsure of what was going to happen next.

As I walked back he route to my house, I crossed my arms over chest, my purse hanging from my shoulder. It was warm, but I was cold...I was so cold, not physically, but emotionally. My heart was cold, and it felt empty.

Because I had no one. I was alone, and I was determined to make everything right again.

-To Be Continued-

I know LL were a slight OOC but don't worry things will get better.

So how did I do? Was this a total waste of time, or should I continue?
