Lorelai stepped outside. It was damp and dark. She dug through her purse some more, finally finding her cell phone. She dialed the numbers and put it to her ear, hopefully she would get an answer. It was 8:30 at night, so she wasn't positive. Lorelai began to pace back and forth slowing as the ringing buzzed in her ear.
"Hello?" a gruff voice come onto the other end of the line.
"Hi, it's, uh, Lorelai, could you, uh, come pick me up please. I'm in front of The Edgemont resturant, I-I don't know where it is." She was upset and it was very obvious. She kept studdering and tears began to well in her eyes again. Lorelai only knew how grateful she was that Luke had picked up the phone. She knew no matter what, he'd want to help her.
"Don't worry, I'm on my way, uh, what happened?" Luke inquired. He began to lock up the diner, it was empty afterall. He walked out the door and got into his Truck. He knew where Edgemont was, don't ask him how, he just did.
"It ah, It's a long story, I'll tell you on the drive back, thanks Luke, bye." She hung up the phone and put it into her purse. Her eyes wondered around for a bit, in the end, she decided to sit on a wooden bench. She wiped some tears that had been falling down her face away. Lorelai sighed, not knowing who was going to be in her future and having no idea what to expect would be tough. She was just glad she had, Rory and Sookie looking out for her. And Luke, she could never forget him.
Luke pulled up to the resturant about thirty minutes later. He parked his truck and walked up. He spotted Lorelai sitting on a bench, head down, obviously sad. His eyes became sad as he gave a small smile and walked over to her. He couldn't help but think, even though she was upset, she still looked beautiful. "Hey." He sat beside her.
"Hi" She looked up, relieved he was finally there. "Lets go home okay, I'm so, so uh" Tears again started to well. "so, uh, sorry that y-you had to come and, uh"
"No problem." He looked at her and took her hand. Luke led her back into his truck and drove her home. The whole car ride, she sat there as tears stopped and began to come up again. Occasionally he looked over at her. Luke was pained to see that Lorelai was so sad and had been hurt like this. He was positive she would tell him eventually, now just wasn't the time. "okay." He pulled up to the driveway, but Lorelai just sat there before turning her head.
"Will you sit with me, you know, just for a-a-" She studdered again. She wasn't sure if he would want to do this. He didn't have to. Lorelai felt bad for making him take care of her. It wasn't his job, not at all.
"Come on." He got out of the car and opened the door for her. She went upstairs and got into her pajamas. Luke was still surprised she had wanted him to stay with her for the night. He was also shocked that he still felt totally comfortable around her. He knew he liked her, maybe even loved her. Luke had not expected to have to take care of her, or have her need him like this. He wasn't happy about her current state, but he was happy she depended on him.
In a little while he was called upstairs. She was sitting on her bed, crying. He sat beside her and Lorelai immediately baried her head in his chest and began crying. He slowly wrapped his arms around her and began to rub them. He was trying to comfort her and trying to make her feel better. They sat like that for a while. Soon, Lorelai fell asleep. Luke placed her on the bed and covered her with the covers. He left her house slowing, hoping that she would be okay.
Lorelai's eyes opened slowly, she was frowning and squinting. She sat up and tears approached her eyes once more, she looked around the room and found that no one was present besides herself. She got out of bed and put some shoes on quickly. She headed downstairs and called "Luke!" but was given no answer. Then, Lorelai grabbed her coat and left the house.
She tip toed up to the diner and knocked hard on the glass door. "Luke!" She hollard once more, hoping he would come. "Luke!" Then she saw him head to open the door for her. He wore a surprised expression and let her in.
"What it is?" He mumbled, obviously he had fallen asleep. "I thought you'd sleep like a baby?"
"Uh, you know what?" she sniffled "Baby's don't sleep that good, they cry and wake up like" she was holding back tears again. "ten million times a night, so I never really, uh, g-got that expression." She wiped her eyes and proceeded to tell Luke everything as they sat at one of his tables. "I don't love Chris, I really don't and I'm over him, I-I, Rory's just usually there when I get home and she w-wasn't, I'm lonely" She finished sniffled a lot.
"It's okay" Lorelai followed him upstairs and layed in his bed. Luke sat down on a chair and watched her as she fell asleep, as peaceful as can be.
