A/N- schools starting in a few days! My first day of high school, a bit nervous, but looking forward to the challenge. My classes are the more complicated ones, so the load of homework will increase, hopefully it won't mean I can't continue my stories! Luke Rules- Thank you for my first review on this story, I'm glad you like it, if only I could get more.

He couldn't sleep, what kind of girl would turn down Luke. Luke was ,well, his uncle so he had lesser opinions of him, but he had always seemed to work things out with Luke. He was a great guy, heck Luke gave me a home he thought. Even though I am a pain. Nicole must be on some type of drug. Or booze. He laughed at the thought. It's possible though, since she is a lawyer. How could she go and cheat on Luke. Even worse sleep with the guy. Luke loved her. Heck, he had overheard Rory talking to her mom that morning and she had said that she saw a few tears. He had never seen Luke cry. He had always yelled when he was mad or frustrated. Yelling and fishing was his thing, crying wasn't. He couldn't even picture it. He decided to go for a walk. As long as Taylor wasn't out, he wouldn't get caught out of the house. He grabbed a coat and walked down the stairs careful not to make any noise. When he got outside he started walking towards the bridge, he didn't plan it, it was just automatic. Starting to sing St.Anger he realized how mad he was at Nicole. 'St.Anger round my neck, he never gets respect, St.Anger.' It was the perfect song. For now. He'd have another perfect song by the end of the week. I Hate Everything About You, also came to mind, though the situations didn't match. As he neared the bridge, he saw a figure sitting off the side. Feet dangling over the moon - lit water. He continued to quietly near, pretending he didn't notice the person he aimed to go to the other side of the bridge. Then he realized who it was. He quietly sat down beside the man.
"It's ok to cry you know, I'm not going to be sarcastic."

"I know, but damn it, I wasn't supposed to fall in love, or get married. I went for the chance and look at what happened." Luke's voice was broken up. Then he saw a tear slide down his face.

"You have Lorelai you know."

"I know, but she's a friend." Jess interrupted him.

"You need a friend."

"Hey, what are you doing out here anyways? Taylor could have caught you, I just missed being seen."

"The black coat blends in."

"Oh."

"I'll let you be alone." He offered, not wanting to intrude in his Uncle's business.

"Oh, er, I guess."

When Jess left he spilled. The tears came flowing down. He had no idea why.

Luke walked down the stairs of the Diner. After Jess had left, he had waited a few minutes to leave himself. When he reached the last step, he saw people eating. 'What time was it?' he wondered. No one was here to open up... then he saw her.

"Lorelai, why are people eating in my Diner?"

"Your heart was broken, you were sleeping, and there was no way to get coffee."

"How did you get in?"

"Jess, oh and don't get mad, remember the coffee part. I will die without my coffee."

"Well, is Caesar here?"

"Luke go out, go fishing or whatever you do."

"I can't leave, I own a Diner, who's going to serve?"

"We are."

"Who's we?"

"Me, and Rory and Jess, heck maybe even Sookie. You need to go take care of some stuff."

"Lorelai, you have an Inn, Rory has school, same with Jess, and Sookie works for you."
"Well figure it out. Leave. Now. Get out of my Diner," Lorelai yelled.

"I can't..."

"Go," she started pushing him upstairs, "I'm giving you ten minutes to pack," she declared. He didn't refuse. It was true that he needed to get away. When he got in his room, he grabbed a bag and threw his fishing stuff, clothing, and a few other possessions. Then went back down.

"Good, you're ready, go load up your truck then come and say goodbye before you leave."

He did as told; you didn't want to mess around with Lorelai. Just as he was finishing up someone walked behind him.

"Luke, we need to talk." The voice was so familiar, yet he didn't want to remember it. He decided not to reply as he ignored her and headed to the door of the Diner.
"Luke, I need to explain. I feel so guilty."

"Well, you should."

"You know it's not your child."

"Yah, I think I realized that."

"I was seeing someone a few weeks before I met you. I didn't realize that, well you know. You asked me out and I started gaining weight and being sick."

"I don't want to hear it."

"Luke I need you."

"Yah and I need you like I need a hole in the head." That was his final comment as he opened the door and yelled good-bye to everyone and the got in his truck and drove off, being sure that she didn't get in her car and follow him.
