(A/N) - I own nothing. ASP is so Lucky! And The Bangles happen to rule .. I don't own them either. tear

I think this has to be one of my favorite chapters I have written so far. So please enjoy

But first - some shoutouts.

LukeNlorelaifan - Luke's dad did have cancer. Both of his parents did. It's really sad isn't it? I feel bad for Luke.

xxnicole033xx - Thanks alot. I really appreciate people saying that I can write .. even though I really don't believe it. I think I'm going to take some writing classes next year to improve my writing.

Labyrith - Yes .. poor sad Luke. Since the last chapter was so short .. I hope this chapter makes up for the lacking of the last one.

Four months have passed and Luke's dad was getting worse. Everyday after school Lorelai would help Luke out at the hardware store. She was around Stars Hollow so much she was considered a resident of the town. Her parents even let her stay at Luke's house on most weekends. They didn't go out on alot of dates, but she knew that the only reason for that was because he didn't want to leave his dad home alone especially in his condition. On an average night, Luke's dad would go to bed around 6 since the treatements made him tired. Luke would cook Lorelai and him dinner, they would eat and usually just watch a movies until they fell asleep.

But tonight was different. Luke wanted the thank Lorelai for everything she has helped him with so he bought 6th row seats to the Bangles concert. He surprised them to her one day during school. Luke slipped her an envelope with her name on it. She traced her finger around his cursive. She loved how he wrote her name, how he always made the 'L' really big and the rest almost microscopic.

Once she was in study with Sookie, she sat down and ripped open the envelope slowly so she wouldn't rip it apart with the eagerness she was holding inside of her. First dropped out a note. It read :

Lorelai,

I don't know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me and my dad these past couple months.

You have been the kindest person I have ever met. Please take these tickets as a 'thank you' from me

and my dad. I hope you have a fun time with who ever you go with.

Love, Luke xoxo

She put the note on her desk and reached inside the envelope and puller out the tickets. She squealed with delight. The teacher told her to quiet down and Sookie asked her what was wrong. Lorelai just flashed her the tickets and Sookie squeaked with joy. Another "shh" was yelled to them from the teacher.

Once the period was over, she found Luke waiting for her to walk to their next class. She jumped into his arms and planted a passionate kiss on his lips and thanked him a million times. She was contemplating on what she should wear and should she make a poster until Luke interrupted her thoughts.

"So, who are you going to take?"

"What do you mean? Your going with me of course."

"Lorelai you don't have to take me just because you feel obligated to. I bought you them tickets to spend a nice night with someone who'd you enjoy hanging out with."

"Duhh .. that's why I'm taking you!"

He smiled as he took her books out of her hand, kissed her on the forehand and they walked to their next class.

He showed up to her house in a new black shirt, flannel-less and no cap.

He rang the doorbell, the maid answered. He was surprised it was the same maid that he saw last week. Wow .. Emily must be having an off week or something. She's usually gone through 3 maids by now.

He walked in the living room to be greeted by Richard and Emily having their before-dinner drinks.

"Why hello Luke. It's nice to see you again." Richard shook the young man's hand.

"Hi Mr. Gilmore. Hi Mrs. Gilmore."

"Luke please, call me Emily."

"Hello - Emily."

"So, how is your father doing lately? We are still terribly sorry about what's been going on."

"Umm .. he's about the same."

"Oh. Well, if there is anything you or your father need help with - we're always here." Richard said noticing the hurt in Luke's voice.

"Thank you Mr. Gilmore that means alot to me already."

"It's really no problem at all."

"Yep, no problem what-so-ever." Lorelai said as she walked into the room. She was dressed in jeans and the new Bangles tee-shirt she bought for this ocassion.

Luke put on his 'Lorelai smile'. She noticed that she had her own smile .. nobody else had a special smile but her.

"Hey Luke! You look great! It's so different seeing you without your baseball cap and flannel!"

"Hey Lorelai." he said walking up to her, he planted a small kiss on her cheek. She was happy that her parents were so accepted of Luke that he let him show affection to her in front of them.

"Okay. Mom, dad - I'm staying over Luke's again tonight. I'll call you once the concert is over." she said as she put Luke's hand in hers.

"That's fine. Make sure you thank Luke's father for us." Emily responded

"Okay. Night mom, night dad."

"Good night Lorelai."

Once outside they hurried into his father's truck. Lorelai was bouncing in her seat. "Yay! I'm going to see the Bangles! Did I tell you that they are the GREATEST band I have ever heard .. of course next to the Ramones .. but, they still are awesome."

"Yes, I heard every day since I got you the tickets." he said sounding annoyed.

She noticed his tone of voice, "Well, have I thanked you enough?" she said in a seductive voice

"Hmm .. no .. I don't believe you did."

"Well, we just have to fix that now don't we?"

"I guess we do."

She pushed her hands through his hair and pulled him into a passionate deep kiss including much tounge. They pulled away in desperate need for air.

"Thank you very very much." She kissed his lips again but this time it was a simple kiss.

"Okay." she hit the steering wheel. "Let's get down with our bad selves!"

Luke rolled his eyes. They drove to the concert in record timing. Lorelai bought a bunch of junk food for her, and a couple of healthy things for the stubborn Luke. She also bought a poster and a tee shirt for herself. They found their seats and the concert started. She noticed that Luke was having a good time as well as she was. They cheered together and sat down when slow songs came on. Lorelai's favorite song came on. 'Walkin Down Your Street', she didn't know why she liked it so much but there was just something about it.

She looked over at Luke who had a spark in his eye as he watched the band play.

She starred at him for most of the song, he turned to his side.

"What?" he said looking confused.

"Luke .. I .. I think .." she trailed off.

"What's wrong Lorelai? You think?"

"I think I'm falling in love with you." she spitted out - she quickly realized what she said. She flung her hands to her mouth and couldn't believe she actually spoke the words out.

"What?" Luke looked confused and surprised and hoped that she actually said what he heard.

She removed her hands from her mouth, "Luke, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said it. It's way to soon. I'll understand if you don't feel the same way. We can just forget that I said that .. God I'm such an idi-"

She was cut off from Luke's lips on hers. At first she didn't know what was going on but she began to kiss him back. He pulled away and whispered in her ear. "I know I'm falling in love with you."

Her eyes widened in disbelief but it changed into excitement once he placed his lips on hers again. She could feel the answer of her question as he kissed to passionately. He put his hands around her waist as she put her arms over his neck. They stayed like this for a couple of minuts until they both pulled back. She placed her forehead on his and smiled at him.

The rest of the concert was a blast for Lorelai. She was not only watching her favorite band in the world play but she was with her boyfriend - the boyfriend that she finally realized that she loved. She thought she loved Christopher but after meeting Luke - she knew that it was just a fling between her and Chris. She felt as though, with Luke, she would do anything for him as long as they were together. She kept trying to make him happy as he made her. She knew that it was love when - whenever he touched her or placed a kiss on her lips, she got a tingle in her stomach. She thought that the magic would go away by now, but it still felt so right.

After the Bangles were done their set she and Luke headed home. In the truck Lorelai sat in Luke's arms next to him with her head on his shoulder. He knew she fell asleep when he felt her breathing was at a steady pace. When he reached his house, he looked at the girl laying in his arms. He knew that this was the real thing - but didn't want to scare her since they were both still teenagers. He continued to watch her until she began to stir as she became awake.

"Hey. Why did we stop? Are we home?" she said in a whisper as she looked into Luke's eyes.

"Yeah .. yeah .. we're home. C'mon. Let's go inside."

"No .. I'm comfy .. can't move."

Luke sighed as he picked her up, her back in his left hand, legs in his right and her head on his shoulder. He pushed open the door, closed it, locked it and walked upstairs with Lorelai still in his hands. He placed her in on 'her' side of his bed. He went to his closet, pulled out his flannel shirt that she always wore and the pair of shorts that she kept at his house. He changed her into them slowly and quietly. He was heading into un-marked territory. They had yet to have sex - he wanted the time to be right, but he knew that if he left her in her jeans she'd wake up in the morning cranky from the discomfort. He pulled the covers over her body and went downstairs. He made a quick call to the Gilmore's assuring them that everything was alright and that Lorelai fell asleep before she had a chance to call them. He made his way back upstairs to find Lorelai in the same position she was in. He got changed into his boxers and overnight shirt and climbed under the covers. She began to wake up, "Go back to sleep babe." she nodded her head, turned to her side so that Luke could face her and mumbled "Night Luke. I love you." He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him and planted a kiss on her forehead before whispering, "Goodnight. I love you too Lorelai Gilmore." they both fell asleep quickly knowing that they were safe from the outside worls because they were in each others arms.

I have alot of ideas for the next chapter. I hope you guys like it. I'll update tonight or tomorrow.
