A/N- Wow! It's been too long. I'm so sorry to anyone who was interested in
this story and got mad because I haven't updated in so long. I made a
couple of mistakes in the last chapter, like saying it was chapter two when
it was chapter three. So sorry about that, please don't mind dumb mistakes.
Well, here's chapter four. I hope you enjoy it and review. P.S I don't like
Dean being a bad guy so I'm sorry if this chapter didn't turn out the way
you wanted it to.
Chapter four- Apologies
After Rory left the diner, Lorelei ordered more coffee. She sat at the counter waiting for Luke to refill her mug. When he came by with the pot Lorelei asked, "Luke, do you think you could take a small break? The diner isn't busy and Jess and Ceaser are both working. I need to talk to you."
"I don't know Lorelei," Luke looked around.
"Please Luke, I have to talk to you."
"All right, we can talk upstairs. But it can't take long."
"It won't."
So, Luke and Lorelei headed for his apartment. Luke opened the door and led Lorelei to his new leather couch Jess insisted he buy.
"New couch?" Lorelei asked while running her right hand over the black armrest.
"Yeah." Luke replied.
"Okay... so I guess I'll just talk." Luke looked at her, but said nothing. "All right, here goes. As you know, yesterday was Sookie's wedding." Lorelei paused, so Luke nodded. " I thought that my life was actually going great. Christopher and his girlfriend Sherry were separated at the time so me and Chris thought it was time to finally be a couple."
"Why are you telling me this?" Luke asked annoyed and confused.
"Just wait until I'm finished." Luke nodded again. "I thought my life was finally going as planned. Rory's mom and dad would finally going to be together. We'd have the perfect life, right? But it didn't turn out that way. Before it was me and Rory's turn to walk down the aisle, Chris got a call from Sherry. She turned out to be pregnant so Chris left me to try and work things out with Sherry. I knew that Chris and I being together could never happen but I tried anyways and he broke my heart. I'm finally over the idea of me and Chris and I can move on. But I can't move on happily knowing that I hurt my best friend. Until we're friends again Luke, I don't think I'll ever truly be happy again. I apologize Luke. I know what I said was totally blown out of proportion. Rory's accident was not your fault. Jess being here is not your fault. I said it was that night because I was scared and confused and upset. I know nothing I do or say can make up for how badly I hurt you. But I hope someday soon, you will forgive me and we can be friends again. To be honest, I miss you Luke, more than I've missed anyone or anything in my whole life." With that final comment, Lorelei got off the couch and left the apartment and diner, leaving Luke alone, with his thoughts.

Rory was walking toward the gazebo with her book, Franny an Zoey. When the gazebo came into view, Rory saw two figures sitting in it talking. One of them was Dean. "I thought he said he had work." Rory said suspiciously. She decided to go listen in on his conversation since she was supposed to find out why he was so cool about the break-up anyways. Maybe she could find something out now. She settled herself behind the gazebo making sure they didn't hear her.
"So you guys aren't together anymore?" Tom, Dean's best friend, asked.
"No. I knew she liked Jess and I knew that as long as he existed, things would never be the same between the two of us. I loved her too much to see her unhappy. And if Rory thinks Jess can make her happy, I'll let him. I'm just glad she doesn't hate my guts and we're still friends."
"Come on man, you know that's not the only reason you didn't get real mad over her liking Jess."
"What do you mean?" Dean asked, completely clueless.
"Does the name Lisa ring a bell? You told me you liked her, even before you and Rory went downhill."
"Well Lisa is really nice. She's a cool person."
"A cool person that you have the hots for. Am I right?"
"I wouldn't go that far. But I still love Rory. I can't do anything about Lisa until I'm totally over Rory. Who knows, we may even end up back together again"
"Maybe, but if it helps you get over her faster, I heard Lisa likes you too. Sean told me he was gonna ask her out soon so I suggest you hurry up with Rory."
"Come on man. It's not that easy."
"Whatever. Let's go get Sean and Levi, we'll play a little two on two."
"Great idea. Thank God Taylor let me skip work today." The two boys left the gazebo and headed over to their friends house. Rory stayed behind the gazebo thinking about what she had just heard.
"Inspecting the structural support frame of the gazebo? Good idea. I heard there are a lot of termites around these here parts." A voice said in a cowboy sort of accent.
Rory turned around quickly. "Jess!"
A/N: Well that's not much of an ending but that's all I could come up with. Please review!!!!!
