A/N: Hey! Thanks for all the reviews, and for those of you thinking that this is going to be exactly like The Notebook, it's not, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.

The service was over, and it was time for her to go home. Everyone was going into the center of town to have a get together after the funeral for Luke, but Lorelai didn't think she could handle being there. Why would they even have a town "festival" for this? Luke didn't even like town festivals!

She went home and got out of her uncomfortable black dress. She put on her blue flannel shirt and curled up under the covers. It still smelled like him. She laid there in her bed, no longer feeling his arms wrapped around her, no longer able to hear his soft snores during the night. She never even got to say goodbye.

She got up in a hurry and pulled on some sweat pants and shoes and hurried out the door. She got in her car and drove until she reached his grave. His grave. She couldn't believe it, he was gone.

She arrived at his grave and the rain had gently started sprinkling. She sat down next to his tomb stone.

"Luke," she sniffled. "Why'd you have to leave me? You know how much I love you. I was never the kind of girl who depended on someone, until I met you." She sat there a minute, trying to control her tears, but it wasn't working.

About thirty minutes, she was beginning to catch her breath. She was lying on the clump of dirt in front of his tombstone. It was the closest she was able to get to him. She was mumbling different things to herself, and to him.

"You know, I can't imagine what my life would have been life without you. Can you imagine what would've happened if my parents had picked a different place to go for the summer…"

A/N2: From this point until I say it's not, everything is a memory of Lorelai's. It's not gonna be as choppy as a normal memory, but more of a story. I'm telling you guys this, b/c I don't feel like having everything in italics!

A/N3: Lorelai is from Boston, and Lorelai hasn't had Rory…yet!!!!

A seventeen year old Lorelai got out of the limo and looked up at the house in front of her. Apparently a Mr. Twickam was renting it out as a summer home for the Gilmore family.

She didn't know why her parents chose Stars Hollow as their summer vacation getaway, but there was a certain charm of the town that intrigued her. Sure, she like it, but how did could her parents?

Her mother was busy fussing at the driver, telling him that he wasn't properly holding her bags, and he was going to ruin all of her fine "collectables". God, sometimes…well all the time, her mother annoyed the living daylights out of her. She just wished that she could have a normal family.

She looked around the town and saw a kid, who looked to be a little younger than she was, stuck on the gazebo, screaming for his mother. One thing was for sure, it was definitely going to be an interesting summer.

Luke Danes was nineteen years old, and he definitely hadn't had the picture perfect life so far. His mother died when he was nine years old, his sister is now pregnant, and she is only seventeen, and to make it that much worse, his father was diagnosed last week with lung cancer. How can it be that someone as amazing and as loving as his father, was diagnosed with lung cancer? He never even smoked. The doctor's said that it could've been caused by secondhand smoking, or pollution in the air.

Luke should be starting his second year of college this fall, but the truth was, he was going to quit school to help his father. He didn't see anyway else to do this. His father needed help, and his sister sure as hell wasn't going to be the one to help him, so he was the one to do it.

He walked out of William's Hardware and was making his way to Doose's when he saw a limo pull up at Old Man Twickam's house. Must be a bunch of rich snobs, Luke thought. That was until he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever scene get out of the limo. One thing's for sure, it was definitely going to be an interesting summer.
