Disclaimer: Yea owning Gilmore Girls...that's VERY wishfull thinking on my part.

A/N: I was reminiscing a while back about my relationship with my friend, and something in my head just kind of connected somehow.Luke and Lorelai's relationship is a lot like ours. Me, I'm your hyperactive insane kind of person, andhe is that kind of down-to-earth sarcastic kind of guy. Our relationship initially began (in the third grade) with me teasing him, and our entire relationship up until recently consisted of constant banter, sarcasm,and the whole 'that's what friends are for stuff.' Also, my friends used to constantly inform me that he had a 'thing' for me which I constantly denied. Anyway, he and I barely see each other now and its not that there are any hard feelings but I never get to talk to him and we're just not the same. And to top it all off after constantly denying the whole 'thing' I kind of want it now…Yeah, soas pathetic as it sounds,this is my way of making it all better by taking my little puppets, Luke and Lorelai, and making it work out for them so I can have some hope that it may work out for me…

Summary: The outline of my story is that Luke and Lorelai have never gotten together but Luke has moving away and closing the diner. If you want to know why you're just going to have to read the story. But now that he's gone, Lorelai realizes what she's been missing all along. The real questions are: Now what does she do? And does Luke still want her or better yet did he ever want her? Read and find out!

Spoilers: umm NO spoilers least I don't think there are. This story doesn't take place at any specific time so I don't think there will be any but if there are I'll warn you at the beginning of the Chapter

I skip through town on my way to Luke's with already 6 cups of coffee in my system and moving to the next thing on my list for the day: Get more coffee and bug Luke. When I finally reach Luke's I pull on the handle but the door won't budge. I look up to see a 'FOR SALE' sign and grungy boards nailed across the windows. Peeking through a crack in between the planks, I peer into the normally crowded diner and find that it's deserted. All of Luke's dad's things have been torn off the walls, and all the tables have been taken out.

"Luke?" I say his name softly in too much shock to say it louder. Shaking it off, I scream it now. "LUKE!" Desperately, I start pounding on the door all the while sobbing. "LLLUUUKKKEEE!" I cry hysterically as I start ramming the door with my shoulder but it won't budge. Giving up, I let myself slide down the door and I just sit there and let my sobs shake my body. "Please, come back," I plea quietly, "Come back…"

All of a sudden I wake up tangled in my blanket and tears running down my face. Without thinking or even pausing to look at the clock I jump out of bed and run downstairs only stopping to hastily grab my coat and a pair of tennis shoes.

Running as fast as I can, I make it into town and stop in front of the Diner and start banging on the door.

"Luke!" I scream scooping up a couple of rocks and 'gently' pelting them at Luke's apartment window. "Luke, wake up!"

The light in Luke's apartment turns on, and a second later there's Luke sticking his head out the window.

"Lorelai? What the hell are you doing? It's 3 am."

"Oh thank God! I'm sorry, Luke, can you let me in I-I just-can you let me in?" I shout up to him, my voice shaking a little.

Luke must notice how frazzled I am because he doesn't argue and just replies with "I'll be right down."

Downstairs the lights turn on and Luke walks over to the door, turns the dead bolt to the right, and lets me in.

I immediately throw my arms around his neck and cry into his shoulder. "Thank God, you're here, y-you're really here. You didn't- you didn't" I sob gripping his flannel as he holds me tightly, safely, in his arms.

"Shh, shh, it's okay, it's okay…" he says soothing me with his whispering voice, being my hero once again, not seeming to mind what time it is.

I finally calm down and Luke pulls away a few inches and looks down at my face. "You okay, now?"

I nod, my lips pulled into a tight thin line desperately fighting the urge to frown.

"Do you want some coffee?"

I nod again, but this time I manage a weak smile. Coffee makes everything better. Coffee makes this real. Coffee makes this not a dream.

"Okay, just sit at counter and I'll get you some," he says, letting go of me slowing before leading me to a stool. He heads behind the counter and pours me some coffee and sets the cup down in front of me. There is a slight pause when no on really knows what to say so I sit there silently sipping my coffee.

"So…" he says uncertainly.

"So…" I say back not meeting his eyes.

"So…why are you here?" he asked

There is another awkward pause as I contemplate what to tell him.

"I…I was just in desperate need of a coffee fix," I say, managing to save myself from telling the truth.

"Okay…"

"Yeah, I'm sorry I woke you up, but I've just been up all night working on stuff for the inn and I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore so I figured your coffee would do the trick," I ramble on, and I can tell Luke knows that's not the reason I nearly broke his window in my hast to wake him up.

"Oh, no problem. Just glad I could help," he says, dropping it.

"Yeah, well, I'll see you tomorrow, I guess," I try to make my exit, but he stops me.

"Wait," he blurts out suddenly, running around the counter. "I," he takes a real deep breath, "I won't be here tomorrow," he says quietly, avoiding my gaze.

"What do you mean you won't be here?" Immediately I panic and I can feel my heart racing like crazy.

"I.-I tried to tell you so many times," he laughs sadly to himself.

"Tell me? Tell me what?" My hands are flying all over and my heart is about to leap out of my chest.

"I'm, I'm leaving Stars Hollow…I'm leaving Stars Hollow for good," he says finally looking me in the eye. My vision begins to blur and try to hide my face with my hands, but instead he takes my hands in his. "I'm sorry," he says releasing my hands and pulling my body into his arms, and I cried. Twice in one night I leaned on Luke and cried, like a baby in his arms.
