Title: Down To You
Summary: When a new guy comes to Stars Hollow, he hits things off with Lorelai. They seem like the perfect couple, and Luke is happy for them. Ha! Yeah right.
Pairings: Luke/Lorelai Rory/Jess (a little bit) Lorelai/Charlie Luke/Nicole
Spoilers: None
Distribution: Please tell me first. being it's my story and all. You can just e-mail me.
Author's Note: This chapter is a song chapter, and the inspiration for this chapter is from the song, "Everytime We Say Goodbye". My dad has this DVD of really good songs and Rod Stewart's version is really nice. From this chapter on, most of the chapters will be song chapters since I have a bunch in my head that plays out perfectly with the story and well I think it's easier to write chapters like this.

Everytime we say goodbye
I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
Lorelai sighed, she was putting the remains of her things into a box, and then sealed it with tape. It was raining outside and she heard the raindrops hitting her window. Her bedroom was plain, only consisting of her bed, which was bare, and her closet, which in the first time in many years was clean. She smiled a little, remembering the moments she shared in her house. Now she had to move on, with everything. Try to forget about everything in Stars Hollow, including Luke. But she knew that forgetting cherished memories would not be easy, but she promised herself that her would try her best to just try.
She lugged her boxes to the living room and saw that another box was there, Lorelai had never saw this particular box before so her opened it and smiled when she saw the contents. She picked up a picture frame, which held a picture of Luke, and her at the Firelight Festival, one that Rachel took. She smiled and carefully put it back in the box, and then she saw a yellow daisy, which reminded her of Max's proposal. She laughed at the thought and put it back along with the frame. She then pulled out a blue baseball cap and instantly was reminded of Luke. When she put the hat in the box a piece of paper dropped out, Lorelai picked it up and read it.
-Lorelai I know you're probably in the process of packing but I thought there might be room for things that I can't have since you gave them to me and we both have to move on. - Luke.
Lorelai cringed, and tucked the paper in her pocket. She stood up and looked out the window, at Stars Hollow, the place that she soon would be leaving. She sighed and went towards the door, it didn't bother her that it was raining, she just wanted to talk to Luke and ask him what he meant about moving on. She ran to Luke's and went she got there saw that the sign read closed. This had never stopped her before so she never intended for it to stop her now. She knocked on the door fiercely until she saw that Luke was coming down the stairs. Luke looked confused but nonetheless he opened the door for her. "You do know that it's raining right?"
"Yes, I'm aware of the fact that it's raining." Lorelai said getting in of the diner.
"You can get a cold by running around in the rain with no jacket."
"Well you can get arrested for breaking into someone's house and leaving a box of things at their living room." Lorelai shot back.
"Oh so you saw it?" Luke asked, quietly.
"When I was walking down I saw it in the living room."
"Sorry about the whole 'breaking in' thing."
"It's okay, it's not like it's the first time you did it."
"I told you you're back lock was broken." Luke reminded her.
"Listen I came here to talk to you about something."
"What?"
"Mind going up to you apartment?"
"Okay."

When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye
"Okay so what do you want to talk about?" Luke asked when Lorelai sat down on his couch. Before she answered him she looked around the apartment - she saw that some of Nicole's things were unpacked from their boxes. "About you telling us to 'move on'."
Luke looked down, "Oh that."
"I knew that when you kissed me before, you thought that was a mistake was it?" Lorelai asked
"I'm not sure anymore, but why should you care about it?
"Because it happened." Lorelai said, "It happened while you were with Nicole and when I was with Charlie."
Luke looked up at Lorelai, "Well then sorry."
"I'm leaving tonight." Lorelai said quietly, "So we can both move on that way."
"So you're really going to Boston, huh?"
"Yeah, I'm really going to Boston."
Lorelai looked at Luke and sighed, she was more confused than ever about everything that was happening. She just wanted to get away from all of it and just to break free from all the stress occurring.
"Who's getting the house?"
"It's for sale for now, but I'm not sure. It's hard to just move on."
Luke couldn't believe that Lorelai was really leaving; his Lorelai was going to be gone. "So what's going to happen when things don't work out in Boston?"
"I'll go back here, and start the Dragonfly with Sookie."
"Good, you have a fall back plan."
"Yeah, I do."
"Again that's good."
"Something tells me that you want to tell me more than 'that's good'." Lorelai said.
Luke thought, but he couldn't find the words that he wanted to tell her. "No, nothing else." He lied.
Lorelai smiled, "Oh okay. Listen I better get going."
"Sure, I'll walk you outside." Luke said getting up.

"I guess this is it." Lorelai said, holding back the tears, "Good-byes have never been easy on my eyes."
"Me neither, but I guess it's only natural right?"
"Yeah, only natural." Lorelai repeated.
They stood, rather uncomfortable just looking at each other in silence. "I better get going." Lorelai said softy. She went out, and sighed. She slowly walked towards her house. She stopped when she heard Luke's door opening. "Luke?"
But he didn't answer, instead he hugged her. "Bye." He said into her ear.
She cried on his shoulder, but neither cared. They didn't care if it was raining or what, they just wanted to say good-bye. "Bye." Lorelai replied.
They broke apart, wet from the rain and still confused about the events that took place. Lorelai leaned towards Luke and softly kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back, letting her tongue enter. She wrapped his arms around his neck, and he put his arms around her waist. They broke apart, looking at each other's eyes. "Bye." She said walking away from him. She didn't look back, for fear that she would never be able to leave.
