Sing For Me
Chapter 13
Saturday finally arrived and everyone in town was enthusiastic about the talent show. Well, almost everyone. Neither Luke nor Lane were particular happy about it. Different reasons, of course. Needless to say, the Diner wasn't exactly a joyous place to be that morning.
"Luke," Kirk called out. "Luke!"
"What do you want Kirk?" Luke yelled at him from behind the counter.
"My eggs are over easy, I wanted them scrambled."
"Luke, I need a refill," called out Taylor.
"Luuuke," called out Miss Patty.
Since everyone was particular antsy that day and Luke was particularly irritable so that mix was never good.
"Lane, take the coffee pot and refill anyone's cup that needs it," Luke told her.
Lane got the coffee pot and went over to Taylor and refilled his cup.
"Well, service today is abominable. I've been waiting four minutes for this refill."
"Sorry Taylor", Lane said, "We're very busy."
"Well, there's no excuse for poor service."
Lane walked away and was stopped by Miss Patty.
"Lane, honey. You look tired. Did you get enough sleep?" she asked her.
"I'm fine, Miss Patty," Lane responded.
"Are you sure? Is there anything you need to talk about?"
"No, really. Thanks but I'm fine."
Lane refilled Miss Patty's cup walked away and noticed Luke was arguing with Kirk.
"Kirk, you asked me for over easy. I made you over easy," Luke told him
"No, I asked you for scrambled and you made me over easy," Kirk replied back.
"I know what I heard, Kirk."
"But it's Saturday and I always have scrambled eggs on Saturday."
Lane went over to the two of them put the coffee pot on the table and took a fork.
"You want scrambled eggs, Kirk?" she yelled at him.
"Uhh...yes."
"Here," she proceeded to take the fork and chop up the over easy eggs. She handed him the plate. "Enjoy," she said.
Luke and Kirk just stared at her. Kirk took the plate and sat back down and stared at his plate for a moment. He took the fork and took a bit.
"Mmm, not bad," he said to himself.
Luke went over to Lane who was back behind the counter getting napkins.
"Lane, what just happened there?" Luke asked.
"Sorry, I guess I just lost patience. It won't happen again."
"If it hadn't been Kirk I might have gotten upset but since it was I wouldn't worry about it."
"Okay, thanks."
"And he did order over easy."
"I know," she replied.
"Luuuke," someone called out.
"Does it ever end?" he said gruffly to himself.
"Sometimes it does," Lane said to herself.
Lane heard the bell jingle from the door. She looked up to see who came in. It was Rory. She entered the diner and took a seat up at the counter.
"Hey Lane," she said.
"Hey," Lane replied.
Rory immediately saw that something was wrong with Lane
"Lane..." Rory started to say.
"I broke up with Dave last night," Lane whispered to her.
"Oh, Lane. I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." Lane sighed to herself, "I have to get over to clean off those tables so I'll talk to you later."
"Okay," Rory said watching Lane as she went off to clear tables.
Luke went over to the cash register and put some cash in.
"Hey Luke," Rory said to him.
"Rory, hey. Coffee?" he asked.
"Yes, please. Actually two to go." Rory asked knowing Luke would know the other was for Lorelai and argue with her about it.
"Two?" he asked. "Is one of these for her."
"No, they are both for me."
"Uh huh." Luke knew that one was for Lorelai. Whenever Luke and Lorelai had a fight Rory would try to get Lorelai coffee and Luke would always tell her 'no' but his heart wasn't in it to argue today. He took two cups and filled them up.
"Here," he said and handed them over.
"Oh," Rory said surprised.
"Do you need anything else?" he asked.
"Uhh...No, thanks." she told him
"Okay," Luke said and walked away.
Rory got up and placed a couple dollars on the counter. She turned to leave and while she was heading toward the door she looked over at Lane who was busily clearing all the tables and then she looked over at Luke who was taking someone's order. They both looked so down. Rory knew better than anyone what it was like to feel miserable because of love. Or, in Rory's case, what she mistook for love. Everyone around her seemed unhappy and she didn't like it one bit.
This all had to end and it had to end that night. One way or another
