Chapter 3:Luke and Jackson

A/N: This chap takes place the same time as chap 2 only this is with Luke and Jackson. I Fixed Lorelai's name, tried to get them all so If i missed afew im sorry. Enjoy:)

It only took Jackson about 10 minutes to find Luke. "Hey" He said entering the room where Luke was waiting to get his hand stitched up.

"Hey" replied Luke dryly. He was still shivering slightly but it was barely noticeable to anyone who wasn't paying a lot of attention to his body. Jackson noticed that he was still pale and looked stressed. Today's strain definitely setting on him.

"You look mad tired man." Luke didn't reply. "Rory's gonna be fine." This got his attention.

"She is?" Luke asked lifting his head to look at Jackson. "Yeah she's sleeping." "Good, That's good, I'm really glad she's okay." Luke said letting his gaze wander back down to his feet.

"How's..." He rubbed the back of his neck with his uninjured hand before continuing. "How's Lorelai doing? Is she you know... okay?"

"She shaken but she's fine. I'm pretty sure that she's just happy Rory's okay." Jackson replied.

"That's good. I'm glad their both okay." Luke let out a loud tired sigh and then looked down to the ground as the nurse began stitching his hand up. He winced in pain a few times but other then that he made on other sounds or attempt at conversation.

When the nurse was done she gave Luke some painkillers and the two men walked out of the examining room to sit in the waiting room. Finally Jackson got up the nerve to go into untreaded territory.

"Luke... Tell her how you feel about her man." All Luke did was bend forward in his seat, adjust his hat and hold his hands on his head; his elbows resting on his knees but he didn't say anything in reply.

"Listen Luke you probably don't want to talk about this but you HAVE to tell her how you feel we all know how you feel about her. You told me when we were in school how much you loved her remember. I'm mean GEEZ if that's not falling head over heals I don't know what is. You've been crazy about her for 8 years.

Luke took in a deep breath and then sighed. "Yeah well... She doesn't feel the same way. Never has and never will, besides I don't want to screw my friend ship with her up anymore then we almost have all those times before."

"Luke you're a very scary person but you're also very foolish. That women in that room loves you also you two are just too blind to see what every one in Stars Hollow has seen since you two have met." He noticed Sookie walking toward them obviously ready to leave and left his friend with a few encouraging words before leaving. "Just tell her how you feel goddammit. Trust me she feels the same way Luke. Its not just me either cause Sookie told me that." He gave Luke a pat on the shoulder before getting up and leaving with Sookie. Jackson and Sookie had the biggest smiles on their faces. "I think they're gonna tell each other." The married couple said in unison then kissed quickly while speeding out the door to leave for home.

Luke got up and let his thoughts wander as he made his way down the hall to Rorys room.

'What if I tell her and she hates me, What if she still has feelings for someone else and I back her into a corner, I don't want to hurt her, She deserves much better then me and I know it, hell her parents would never approve, I don't want something that she doesn't and I know that she doesn't want me I own a dam diner for Christ sake, Ugh.. I don't know what the hell to do." He rubbed his face and eyes with his hands then slid the bandaged one through his hair as he reached Rorys room. Nervous as hell. Afraid to see Rory in that hospital bed he hesitated before going in. But he sucked it up and entered the room.

Lorelais eyes darted up from her coffee as he cleared his throat slightly and knocked on the open door quietly. What happened next he never in a million years would have expected. Lorelai bounded out of her chair right into his surprised arms. They stood there for a few moments until Lorelai lifted her head to look at her best friend and the man who saved her daughters life today. She looked into his eyes for a moment before taking a dive and doing something she hoped wouldn't destroy their friendship. She prayed that Sookie was right and out of nowhere… kissed him.

End of Chapter 3

Sorry that this chapter was so short I wanted to put the rest into the next chapter. I also didnt want to draw this chapter on... I tried not to make it seem like there was a slash going on there with Jackson and Luke cause that is so wrong and i would never ever ever write something like that.

1 or 2 chapters left on the way. All deepends on the reviews:) SO PLEASE REVIEW! 333333 Much thanks for reading 333333

I love Luke yay. lololol
