Chapter 2
Lorelai grabbed a tissue out of her purse and then brought it to her eyes. She couldn't understand how one person could be so blissful and miserable at the same time. She drove her jeep like a mad woman to Luke's Diner, without stopping. She looked inside; Luke sat there at the counter holding his head with his hands. Lorelai proceeded to the door, just when she was about to open it, she saw the sign. The sign that would change her life forever; 'Closed, Business for Sale.' Her mouth dropped open and her hands started pounding on the door. Luke looked back and saw her standing there. At first he smiled that she came back but then he realized that it was beyond impossible to think that Lorelai Victoria Gilmore could possibly feel the same way about him that he showed for her. All those years wasted flirting and comforting hadn't paid off. She would never realize that their love was strong enough to fight for, or even live for. Luke got up and turned the lights out and walked upstairs.
Nothing. No feeling at all, her whole body was numb. She lost her best friend. Luke Danes, her only true caffeine savior was leaving. She never would have believed it if someone told her. But it was what it was Luke was leaving because of her. She sat there on the cold cement diner steps all night thinking what was the best way to apologize, the best way to get him to stay. She had to do it for herself and Star's Hollow, there was no turning back now.
"Lorelai, my dear have you been here all night?" Miss Patty patted Lorelai on the shoulder to wake her.
"Miss Patty, what time is it?"
"Honey, it's eight o'clock."
"Thanks."
"Are you alright, Lorelai?"
"I'll be okay…thanks for waking me up."
Lorelai sat up and looked back into the diner. Luke wasn't there, "Miss Patty, how long as Luke's sign been up?"
"Sweetie, it's been there ever since you ran off with Rory's dad."
"Oh."
"Lorelai, we were all routing for you two. Go talk to him."
"I don't think he wants to talk to me."
"Lorelai, we all know how he feels about you. Now you go tell him how you feel."
Lorelai knew Miss Patty was right. She needed to talk to Luke, but how could she talk to him? He hated her. She ruined his life and her own. She needed a plan and there was only one person to help her, she didn't want it to come to this but she had no choice she needed Jess.
