Just and scene the popped into my head while thinking why Luke was so pissed at Lorelai. I was going to continue this, and I had an idea, but I couldn''t get the inspiration for it. if anyone wants to continue this, let me know. I just wanted to get this out before the new season starts. I hope you all like it, and if you have to flame, be nice about it. thanks

Disclaimer- I own nothing



Lorelai comes into the diner


Luke- what do you want?

Lorelai-coffee.

:beat:

Luke, how many times do I have to say how sorry I am before you forgive me. I was upset that night, my daughter was in the hospital. I was scared and angry and I lashed out. I needed to blame someone and Jess wasn''t here and you were. I know that it wasn''t your fault. I just..I was so angry. It had nothing to do with you Luke, you have to believe that, you have to know that.

Luke-I do know that. It had nothing to do with me. I knew it then, and I know it now. That's the point.

Lorelai-So why are you so angry at me

Luke- I'm not angry Lorelai. I'm being what you want me to be.

Lorelai-what are you talking about

Luke-I care about Rory

Lorelai-I know you do

Luke-even if I hated who she was I would still care about her, because she''s your daughter, and I care about you. You''re my friend Lorelai, and that means that I care about the people you love. Not because they are important to me, but because they are important to you. That's how you treat your friends. You care about the people that they love-even when its hard, you still do it. But see, you don''t have to do that when its just the guy who owns the diner that you eat in every day. You don''t have to care about his family, about raising a kid that he didn''t ask for, about how terrified he got when he didn''t know where is nephew was after he got into a car accedent. None of that means anything when he''s just the guy who serves you coffee

Lorelai-Luke, you are so much more the just the coffee guy, you have to know that. You have always been there for Rory and me. You're the guy who fixes things around my house, and drives me to the hospital when my dad is sick, and cares about what I eat, and helps me, and is always there for me. You are so much more then the guy who serves me coffee. You..you're one of my best friends Luke, and I don''t know what I would do if you weren''t in my life. I am so sorry. I never meant to make you feel that you were any less important to me

Luke-you keep changing the rules on me. I'm you coffee man, and then I'm you fix it man, and then sometimes I feel like I'm...you date Rory's teacher, then you break up, and then you get mad if any woman so much as looks at me, and Rory''s father comes to town, and then you get engaged, and then you''re not........we're friends, and then we''re not, and then we''re friends again and all of this is making my head spin. You make everybody's head spin, you''ve always made my head spin but its gotten to the point where this is a ride I'm not sure I wanna be on anymore.

Lorelai- Luke......

Luke- So I'll just be the coffee guy. Cause you don''t have to care about him, and he doesn''t have to care about you. Now if you''ll excuse me, I have work to do.
