Hey guys! This is gonna be a long A/N, so brace yourselves.

I definitely need to explain a few things from the last chapter. I typed it up in a bit of a hurry, so forgive me.

Lorelai saying "Luke"- technically, I don't think that's possible. Maybe she came out of the coma for a second and then she went back in? Yea, I doubt that's possible either, lol. I just needed Jason gone, and looking back it was probably kinda stupid, but it was necessary for something like that to happen for the story to get where I want it to go. It called fan fiction, right? So just think of that one part as very fictional. Lol

Luke calling Rory- I did not say that Luke was calling Rory. I said that Luke's number came up on the caller ID. Tricky, I know, but if you read this chapter, I think you'll catch on.

So, again, sorry I confused everyone! That coma thing made sense in my head, I swear. But somewhere between my head and the computer, it got a little jumbled. :

Anyway…..

Chapter 4- Confessions

Rory walked to a quiet hallway to answer the phone.

"Hello?" She asked, confused. She had no idea who could, or would be calling her from Luke's (Yes, guys, are you catching on? The caller ID said Luke's number. As in Luke's diner. Get it?) Lane maybe?

"Uh, hey," a deep voice replied.

Definitely not Lane.

"Jess?"

"Yea, it's me,"

"Why are you calling me?" Rory asked, sounding a little harsher then she'd meant to.

"Well, uh, Luke told me that he was taking you to the hospital and that there was something wrong with Lorelai. Is she ok?" Jess asked, sounding genuinely concerned.

"No, not really. I don't know. She's in a coma, Jess,"

"Oh, um wow. I'm sorry, Rory, but I'm sure she'll pull through. Your mom is one stubborn woman. She's not gonna give up that easily," Jess said, trying to reassure her.

Please let me be right, Jess thought. Rory's so close to Lorelai. There's no way she can loose her mom. And Luke-

"Thanks, Jess," Rory said, snapping Jess from his thoughts. "I have to go. I net to get back to my mom."

I can't believe he called me like that! That's so sweet of him, especially since I blew him off yesterday. Maybe he really has changed. Rory thought.

"Ok. And Rory, it'll be okay."

"I hope you're right," Rory said as she hung up the phone.

"Lorelai," Luke said after Rory left. "You need to pull through this, okay? I mean, Rory would fall apart without you, and I-" Luke paused for a moment. "Lorelai, there's so much I want to tell you. You just; you have to wake up." Luke took a deep breath.

It's now or never, Luke thought. Hell, it's not like she can even hear me, right?

"I-I love you, Lorelai. I want to be with you." Luke reached out and grabbed Lorelai's hand. "I don't want to just be your baseball cap, flannel wearing coffee supplier you endless flirt with and tease anymore."

"Jeez, Lorelai, I said this," Luke said, frustrated. "I'm supposed to be able to fix this. I can always fix whatever you need. Whenever you have a problem, I can fix it; I can make it better. But I can't fix this Lorelai, I can't fix you! I can't pull you out of this coma and make you better, and I hate it! You said I was your hero. Why can't I fix this?"

A single tear fell from Luke's eye, but he quickly brushed it away and continued.

"And what's worse, I caused this! I shouldn't have yelled at you this morning. Of course you have a boyfriend. Look at you. Even after a car accident, you're still beautiful. But, I just couldn't tell you how I felt, and, this morning, I just lost it. That's why you were going so fast and you lost control. It's my fault." Luke paused again. He could almost swear Lorelai had squeezed his hand, but he must have just imagined it. She was still unconscious.

"C'mon, Lorelai, wake up. Rory needs you. Dammit, Lorelai, I need you! You have to wake up! I'll give you free coffee for the rest of your life!" Luke pleaded. Still no change.

"Lorelai, I love you. I need you to wake up so I can really tell you that. And so that I can tell you how sorry I am for what happened this morning. I will never forgive myself if you don't make it through this." Luke realized all this talking was getting him nowhere. Lorelai was still in the same state she'd been in this whole time. Luke resorted to just holding her hand.

Rory had gotten off the phone a few minutes ago. She had been entering the room when she heard Luke talking. She didn't want to interrupt (he was on a roll) so she stood unnoticed in the door frame until he was done talking. By the time he finished, Rory's eyes were filled with tears.

Whoa, Rory thought, the guys in Luke's family: rough exteriors, but deep down, they're actually pretty sweet. Wow, I've never seen Luke like that; so emotional. I mean, I knew Luke liked mom, the whole town knew; except mom of course, but I had no idea that-wow.

Luke had stopped talking a minute or so ago. Rory decided that now would be a good time to make her presence known. She blinked back her tears, not wanting Luke to know that she'd heard what he said.

"Hey Luke," she said, stepping fully into the room.

"Rory, hi," Luke said, quickly letting go of Lorelai's hand. "Everything okay?" He asked, gesturing to Rory's phone.

"Oh, yea, everything's fine," Rory responded quickly. "How's mom?"

"No change," Luke informed her, sounding disappointed.

"Oh, um, well, I'm starving," Rory changed the subject, trying to hide her disappointment. "Want to get something to eat?"

Luke pulled out his wallet and handed Rory a few dollars. He absently placed his wallet on the table next to Lorelai's bed.

"You go ahead. I'll be down in a minute." Luke told Rory.

"Okay," Rory responded. She turned and left, on her way down to the cafeteria.

Luke turned back to Lorelai. He picked up one of her petite fragile hands in his tow larger, stronger ones.

"Lorelai, please, wake up," he pleaded with her vacant body one last time before following Rory downstairs, leaving his wallet on the table.

TBC!

Hopefully that chapter was less confusing then the last. I'll update as soon as I can, but it might take a while because I go back to school tomorrow. However, if I get lots and lots of reviews, it might motivate me to update sooner! ;

REVIEW please!
