Chapter 3

Why had he left? Did he hate her that much? He just up and left. What upset her the most was that he didn't even say goodbye. The only thing that hurt more was that he left without even trying to fix their relationship. The relationship must have meant a lot to him (can you hear the sarcasm). He just left her, no letter or anything. Was he too scared to say goodbye himself? He made her hear it from someone else, and from Taylor, why not Miss Patty. She would have at least been sympathetic. All this caused her to really revaluate he feelings and more importantly his feelings. She knew she loved him but how did he feel. The only question that she wanted answered was did he ever care for her and if he still did?

Lorelai didn't know how long she had been sitting there when all of a sudden she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and nearly fell over (not really fall over because she was already sitting down) when she saw who was standing behind her.

"What are you doing here? I thought you would have left by now." She asked him.

"I saw you and you looked upset so I decided to come over and see what was wrong." Luke said. Since Lorelai didn't respond he continued

"So what is wrong."

"Nothing's wrong. Why would you think something was wrong?" Standing next to him and not breaking down in tears was one of the hardest things Lorelai had ever or would properly ever have to do but she couldn't show that she was hurting. She had to be strong. He didn't care for her so she just had to pretend like she wasn't dieing inside.

"Come on Lorelai. Remember I have known you for years. I know when you are upset." After Luke said it he realised it come out a little too harsh. He didn't want to get angry with her. Lorelai suddenly became very angry. Was he really asking her what was wrong? Was he that clueless?

"What's wrong Luke! What's wrong!" She was now yelling.

"You were going to leave. Well I assume you still are seeing those bags in your truck. You were going to leave with out even saying goodbye. I though you cared about me but I guess I was wrong. I wanted to fix it. That was why I cam to the diner. I thought you might want to fix it too but boy was I wrong. I though you were it for me. No sorry I knew you were it for me. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, have kids with you, grow old with you." Lorelai looked down at her feet. "I think I may have loved you." Luke was shocked she had never said that to anyone before. Luke was about to say something when she looked up.

"Don't try and make up now. I know you aren't interested so please go. I don't want to see you. Please go." He didn't move and inch.

"Fine I'll go."

Lorelai left before Luke could respond. He knew he had hurt her and hated to see her like that but there was nothing he could do about it know. He had ruined his chances with her. She had made that very clear to him. She wanted nothing to do with him and it broke her heart to walk away but she knew she had to do it.

She walked home knowing that there wasn't anything waiting for but her big empty house full of memories of her and Luke. As she walked home she got thing. He was the first guy she had every really let into her life. She already knew Rory loved him so she didn't need top worry about that. He had been her best friend for so long they didn't have to go through that weird stage of getting know each other which was great. Now looking back letting Luke in was her biggest regret. By letting him in she allowed herself to get hurt. Since she had never let a man in to this extent she had never really got hurt before.

By this time she was at her house. As she walked up the steps on her porch she noticed a letter on her doormat.

She walked over and picked it up. Lorelai was written on it in very familiar handwriting. She opened the envelope and read the letter.

Dear Lorelai,

By the time you read this I will already be in New York. I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye to you in person but I knew if I did I wouldn't leave. Hearing you call me your ex-boyfriend the other night was too much. I couldn't take it. Then see you ever day eating a Western just killed me. I knew I had to get away because I hope that not seeing you may make this break up that little bit easier. Knowing that I am not with you just hurts too much. This is why I am leaving. Lorelai before I end this letter there is one thing you must know. I will love you for ever. There is no one who could take you out of my heart. You and Rory have been my family ever since you first walked into my diner 8 years ago. I will never forget how happy you made me but more importantly I will never forget you.

I will always Love You,

Luke

As Lorelai read the letter she started to cry and for once in her life time she was speechless.

Sorry it's not very long but if you review the next will be longer. I promise. I am thinking the next chapter may be the last. I don't know. What do you think. Please R&R.
