A/N: When Lorelai is on the phone the "…" is the signal that the other
person is talking. Um…that's about it. Oh! I forgot, this is the beginning
of the 'dramatic' story, which I am afraid to write in fear of how bad it
will be, Thanks for reading, ENJOY! And I assure you, this IS a R/J, so
don't let the whole "I love Dean" thing annoy you, b/c believe me, it means
nothing! (evil laughter)
This chapter is sort of Luke POV, sort of not.
It had been hours since Rory and Jess had left. It was 10:00 already, and there was still a person left in the Diner. Luke had been trying to get him out for an hour now, but he refused and just kept slowly eating his food. Luke had never seen the man, which obviously meant he was an out-of- towner. He was tall with dark hair and a long trench coat. Intimidating to say the least, but Luke didn't really notice or care. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts about Lorelai. There was no doubt in his mind that she hated him, and that she would probably never speak to Jess again. But Jess really didn't matter, because he never thought he had any shot with her in the first place, but now he knew that he had ruined any chance he ever had. Or, Jess ruined any chance he ever had.
Luke silently cursed himself for blaming this on Jess. Everyone was already blaming him for everything already and he didn't need accusing him of ruining his chances with Lorelai. If he had just handled that fight better…
Luke snapped back into reality when he noticed the man was still there.
"Hey," Luke said, "Get out, the diner closed an hour ago."
"Still eating." The man said simply.
"Listen, there are only two people who are allowed in here after closing time, and you sure as hell aren't one of them!"
The man was getting very annoyed with Luke. He reached into his pocket and felt his gun, but then left it, figuring Luke wasn't worth wasting his bullets on.
After a long silence, Luke started with the man again. "Get out!"
The man was growing more and more annoyed. "Shut up!"
"No, you shut up and get out of my diner!"
"Listen man, don't make me mad…"
"Ooh, I'm scared, get out."
The man just ignored Luke, and turned back to his dinner.
Luke grabbed the man by the shoulder, and started to yell something, but it was too late. The man had lost all his patience, and Luke would pay.

"Mom, I'm home." Rory called to her mother as she walked into her house, 10:30 on the dot.
"Hey sweetie, got us some Chinese food!"
"I already ate."
"So?"
"So pass the Fried Rice."
"That's the spirit!" Lorelai said proudly as she handed her daughter the rice.
"So, how was your afternoon with Jess?"
"Great, we saw a movie, and then went to a bookstore downtown, and he insisted on walking home."
"Shopping for books on a date? I have raised a nerd!"
Rory laughed, "Mom it wasn't a date, Jess and I-"
Rory was cut off by the phone ringing.
"I'll get it." Lorelai said.
"Oh, hi Jess," Lorelai said into the phone, still uncomfortable with him, "I'll get Rory…you don't want to talk to Rory?"
Rory have her mom a look and Lorelai just shrugged.
"Well then, what's up?…" Lorelai's face went completely pale. "Is he?… Oh my God…"
"Mom, what's wrong?" Rory asked.
"Rory, get your coat, we're leaving."
"Where? Mom, WHAT HAPPENED?"
Tears were already flowing from Lorelai's eyes as she choked out, "The hospital, Luke's been shot."
