Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews; since there were a lot of questions I'm going to answer them now
LCIchick101: Since Rory is going to Yale (in the show, and in my story) it won't work out if she goes with Lorelai to Chicago. So she has to live in a dorm, in New Haven.
Stari: Yeah Lorelai really has to leave, but at lease she kissed Luke.
* * *
Turn it inside out so I can see
A part of you that's drifting over me
Lorelai looked out of the car window, she stared at everything that was around her, for some reason Boston seemed a little dull, but then again it was her first day here. She hadn't mentioned anything to Charlie about the kiss or the emotional good-bye. They were heading for their apartment soon, Lorelai's stomach was feeling strange, she had a really big headache and all she wanted was to lie down and sleep.
Screech!
'Does he know how to stop a car?' She thought, 'Luke drives better than him, Man I have got to stop comparing Charlie to Luke, it's bad karma. I mean pretty soon Charlie's going to compare me to some ditzy, pimpled girlfriend that he had before.'
"Sorry, new car. Not use to it yet." Charlie apologized.
"It's okay, made a cool sound though." Lorelai commented. 'I wonder what got me to move in with him in the first place.'
"Yeah, I guess it did." Charlie said smiling.
'Oh yeah, that.' Lorelai thought.
They got out of the car and walked into the apartment, Lorelai put her coat on the sofa and looked around, everything was new. The floor, the furniture, everything, she walked into their bedroom and saw that it was all-new too. 'Is there anything in this house that isn't older than like 2 years?'
Lorelai walked into the kitchen and saw a coffeemaker on the counter. 'Looks like Luke's coffeemaker but Charlie's is smaller, ah damn it I have got to stop comparing things like that.'
* * *
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere, You're everywhere
Luke opened the diner, knowing that Lorelai was going to be with someone else, somewhere else. He sighed, 'I shouldn't be acting like this, I mean I have a girlfriend, and she has a boyfriend to it'll never work out.'
A few customers came in, ordered coffee and some breakfast, just another ordinary day for Luke. 'Geez, must these people always demand coffee? Even without Lorelai here, I'm going to be short on coffee.'
After serving a few more people, Nicole came in with a bag full of things. "Hey sweetie, here's the last of my things." Nicole said dropping the bag. Luke looked at it, 'That's the last of it? Is she sure? I mean aren't women supposed to bring excess things of everything? Maybe its just Lorelai, I have to stop doing that - thinking about her. She's gone and I can't do anything about it.'
He grabbed the bag and headed upstairs, 'What the hell does she have in here?' he wondered. As Luke lugged the bag up the stairs and when he reached his apartment, he dropped it. He looked at his table to a picture of him and Lorelai at the reception party for Rory's graduation. He picked up the picture, walked over to his drawer and placed it inside. 'This is a start, this moving on crap is going to be hard.'
* * *
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
The sounds of the pianist playing filled the restaurant, while thoughts of Luke filled Lorelai's mind. She gradually took a sip of water, and scanned the menu once more before the waiter took their order. 'Okay now do I want the steak or do I want the seafood platter?' she debated in her mind. "I'll have the steak with mashed potatoes." She finally decided. The waiter wrote the order down and announced that he would bring their beverages out shortly.
"Everything okay? You seem tense." Charlie said, noticing that Lorelai seemed stressed. 'Yeah everything's fine, it's just that I'm going insane by kissing every freaking guy on the plane.'
"Just fine." Lorelai lied.
"Great, listen I'm going to be starting my job tomorrow, leaving you with the whole day on your own. I left some maps and things that might interest you while I'm gone okay?"
"Okay." Lorelai said. 'Great now I can squeeze in some massive shopping time in.'
"I'll be right back okay?" Lorelai said, getting up to leave. She went out of the restaurant and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed a few numbers and then the heard ringing.''
"Hello?" Rory said
"Hey sweetie."
"Mom, what's up?
"I'm at this great place in Boston."
"Really?"
"Yeah, how are you?"
"Great I have a lot of homework, but it's great."
"I kissed Luke." Lorelai spontaneously blurted out.
"What?"
"Before I left, something happened."
"Wow, so are you still with Charlie?"
"Yes." Lorelai squeaked
"Mom."
"I know, I know bad move, but listen things with me and Luke are fine, we're back to being friends."
"Sure?"
"Yeah I mean it was totally one of those things you do when you know, you're really unsure of things."
"Hm, I think I have a class next on dealing with that."
"Rory."
"Okay, okay well how's it going with you and Charlie?"
"Great he's great I'm great and Luke is - um."
"Mom?"
"Yea sweetie?"
"You're in denial."
"No I'm not."
"Fine well Paris has to study and she needs absolute silence."
"A test? Already?"
"Well our first official test isn't for another 2 weeks, at lease that's what our professors tell us, but Paris says that they want us to think that it's in two weeks so we aren't too prepared. But I think Paris is insane and I might have to turn her in."
"Mmkay, bye sweetie."
"Bye mom, love you."
"Love you too honey."
* * *
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Luke tried to sleep he kept fidgeting in his bed, 'this is stupid she's away in some stupid place with some stupid guy. I have to stop thinking about her. C'mon Luke, you can move on.'
He stood up and turned on the light, he turned on the television and an advertisement for coffee came on. A woman looking oddly like Lorelai popped up and started talking about the coffee product. Luke blinked and shook his head, 'I'm going crazy! Or maybe she's driving me crazy. Which ever it is, I still go crazy!'
He quickly turned off the TV and grabbed the phone. He dialed a few numbers and someone finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"Nicole hi." Luke said
"Luke, what's up?" Nicole said in a sleepy tone.
'Great job moron, you woke her up.' "Sorry to have woken you up."
"It's okay I was just watching TV."
'Okay, freaky coincidence' "I think you should move in now." Luke blurted out.
"What?"
"I think that you should move in with me tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay then, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, see you."
Luke hung up the phone and sat on his couch, confused. 'I like Nicole and well I want to start something with her.'
He stood up, than went back to the couch when he heard his phone ring. "Hello?"
"Hey Luke."
"Lorelai?"
"Yeah, how've you been?"
"Great just great, and you?"
"Same here glad to know you're doing great."
"Yeah, listen about the thing that happened." Luke started, "I'm not sure about what happened."
"Me neither but that's why I called. I'm going there on Saturday to check on things with the Inn, you know some final closing stuff and we can talk then okay?"
"Sure, is erm - Charlie going to be there?"
"Well he is my ride so yeah, but when we talk no I mean it's personal."
"Okay so I'll see you on Saturday okay?"
"Yeah see you." Lorelai said, she hung up the phone and sat back down on the couch, 'Okay Gilmore, you have to do this on Saturday and do it right. I mean it's only Luke, the guy that you've been friends since you came to Stars Hollow.'
She sighed heavily, 'I can't go on with it, I mean for all I know I'm breaking his heart.'
She stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen, she poured herself some coffee and paced back and forth the kitchen, debating whether or not she should go on with everything. Finally at 1:30am in the morning, she decided that she would go on with seeing Luke. She went to her room and saw Charlie sleeping happily on the bed, 'I mean I'm doing the right thing right?'
* * *
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there
Luke opened the diner the next day, knowing that he would be seeing Lorelai tomorrow and that Nicole would be moving in today. 'How am I suppose to explain Nicole's sudden move to her? Wait I don't have too, she already knows.'
Like Lorelai, Luke had been debating on the Saturday appointment. He began to scrub some tables when Kirk appeared through the doors, looking happy. "What do you want Kirk?" Luke asked, not looking up from where he was scrubbing.
"Well what a nice way to greet your customer." Kirk sneered.
"You come in, get coffee with nine equals, yeah some customer."
"Seven." Kirk corrected.
Luke rolled his eyes, "Okay seven."
"So can I get my coffee?"
"Yeah, just hold on." Luke said turning around to get a cup. He stopped when he got to the coffee pot. 'This is ridiculous, I mean I'm reminded of Lorelai cause of coffee? I mean that makes sense since you know half of her body water is coffee, but I mean if this happens more often then I might have to stop serving coffee. Ha, I can't do that I'll lose my business.'
"Excuse me? I'm waiting for my coffee." Kirk called from his table.
"Wait just a minute Kirk."
"I can't I have a job interview."
"Aren't you working down at that seafood place?"
"Yes, before I found out that I'm highly allergic to crab cakes."
"Oh okay then, well here's your coffee."
"Since Jess is gone, are there any spots open at the diner?" Kirk questioned
"Um, when I know, I'll let you know okay?"
"Okay, here's my daytime number, and my address so you can mail me the application." Kirk said taking out a business card from his wallet.
"Uh thanks Kirk." Luke said.
As soon as Kirk left, he threw the card in the garbage. A few more people came in, and Luke began to be busy, Caesar came in a helped a bit, but not as much as needed.
Meanwhile in Boston, Lorelai was alone in the apartment, trying to find the keys to her new car. 'Okay now Charlie said that they should be, ha I found them.' Lorelai smiled and finally got out of the apartment. She looked at the driveway and saw that the silver SUV was parked neatly near the curb. She walked over to it and went in. 'Okay so I know how to get to the mall, I went there millions of times.' She started the car and soon was on her way.
She passed by a few cars, and then suddenly realized, 'Chris and Sherry live near the mall, great but what are the chances of me bumping into them?' She shook her head and began to look for a parking space; she finally found one and got out of the car.
The mall was pretty big, and was filled with people hoping to get a good sale. She walked into H&M and looked at all the things that were for sale. 'I have to look some more. I mean I have like most of the things that they have for sale here, just in different colors.' She walked out of the store and wandered off at Macy's.
She found herself looking at the bags when suddenly her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey mom."
"Oh hey sweetie, what's new?"
"Well today all my classes are cancelled due to some reconstruction."
"What Yale isn't big enough?"
"Well no, I mean they just have to fix some things, where are you?"
"Macy's"
"Cool, well I have to go. I have to meet some friends at the library."
"But I thought you had no classes."
"Yes, but I do have a term paper due on Monday. Bye love you."
"Love you too honey."
Lorelai closed her cell phone then she walked over to Jessica Mc Clintock. She looked at the store window and looked at the wedding dresses. She liked one with spaghetti straps, corset bridal gown with embroidered and rhinestone bodice, square neck, drop waist, and a floor length tulle skirt.
She walked off thinking, 'That's the dress I'm wearing for my wedding day.'

A/N: Okay this was one of my longest chapters, I didn't get to finish the song cause it was too long. So tell me if you hated it/loved it/ or you thought it was okay.
