"Hello?" He said.

"Hey, Max, it's me."

"Hi. What's up?"

"We need to talk!"

Chapter three:

"About what?"

"Us."

"Oh… What about us?"

"I can't do it. I can't marry you."

"Why not?"

"I'm in love with someone else." Lorelai said and was about ready to crack.

"What? Who?"

"It's Luke."

"Luke-Luke?"

"Yes, Luke from the diner."

"Um, well… uh, this is a surprise."

Lorelai was about to say something when she saw a load of doctors and nurses running into Luke's room. She watched in horror and quickly said; "I gotta go. Something's wrong!" into the phone and hung up.

She then hurried into Luke's room and saw Rory standing in the corner watching the doctors and nurses work on Luke. His body jolted from the shock. Nothing happened. They shocked him again. Nothing. They shocked him another time at 360. Then the sinus-tack was back. Lorelai breathed in a relieved sigh and walked over to Rory. She put her arms around Rory and made her look away, while she herself watched the doctors doing a quick exam. When they were done, one of them walked out and the other walked over to Rory and Lorelai.

"What happened?" Lorelai asked as she pulled away from Rory, tears in her eyes. "He was doing fine when I left the room."

"It was just an arrest. He's stable now-."

"Just? Just an arrest? How can't you say 'just'? An arrest is a serious thing. People can die from it. He could have died from it. He means a lot. Not just for us, but for the whole town we live in. He's the heart and soul of the town."

"Mom…" Rory butted in with a low voice. "We just have to focus on that he's not dead. He didn't die from it, ok?" She said, as she laid a hand on her mothers shoulder.

"Oh honey…" Lorelai tried, but she couldn't figure out what to say.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that miss," The nurse said and left very quickly.

The room was quiet for some time again. But then Rory broke it, by saying:

"What am I gonna do tomorrow?"

"What do you mean?" Lorelai asked confused.

"I mean school, max, everything. Should I even go to school tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow?" She talked very fast, while she was walking around the room.

"Well, do you want to go to school?" Lorelai replied.

"Yes. No. Yes, no, I don't know. What if Max asks me about you and him?"

"Then tell him to call me."

"But..."

"Honey sit down and try to relax." Rory sat down on a chair next to Lorelai.

They were silent again. Both of them were thinking, thinking about how things would change from now on if he died.

Lorelai looked at Luke; he was just lying there, in a coma. Not able to do the things that he loved, or loves. She couldn't decide whether to use presence or past. She most wanted to use presence. Rory and her, they were just sitting there, in all their silence and suffering.

Then Lorelai said something.

"I'm gonna go find some coffee at this hospital, you want anything?"

"Yes, just a coffee too" Rory said.

"Ok, I'll be back"

She left. While walking she was wishing that someone, anyone, would come and tell her how to handle this. Cos to be honest, she was handling this at all.

She got the coffees and headed for Luke's room again.

"I have to go to the bathroom." Rory said as she got up. Lorelai nodded.

Lorelai had been holding Luke's hand all the time. Her cheeks were stained with tears.

"I feel like I should say something." She said. "But what can I say? Just open your eyes. Please open them. Wake up!" But when nothing happened, she decided to say something else. Talk to him like she always did. "Well, that's not working." She said and smiled a little. "Umm… a couple of months ago, Rory told me that you had a thing for me. I didn't believe her. I still don't know if what she said is true, but…" She paused. "What I do know is that I think I'm falling in love with you." She trailed off. "No, I don't think I'm falling in love with you." She paused again. "I am falling in love with you. I think I have felt like this for a year, but I've just been ignoring it. Running away from it with Max and the engagement. I called it off by the way. The engagement, I mean. I can't keep running from these feelings. Today made me realize that." She stopped to wipe away the few tears that had escaped. "Luke, I love you. Just… wake up. Rory and I were heartbroken when we thought you were dead. We are still afraid that you won't wake up from the coma, so please… wake up and make two girls very happy. Wake up, wakeup, Luke. I love you. Please, wake up!" She said and cried hard again. Still holding his hand, she laid her head on the bed and continued crying.

A few minutes passed and she looked up. Her eyes immediately met his. He was awake! But she had to take a minute to actually believe it.

"Oh, thank god!" She said, crying again and stood up from the stool and hugged him.

Just then Rory reentered the room. "Mom?" She said. She couldn't see that Luke was awake, so she thought that her mother was crying, because Luke really was dead this time. Lorelai leaned away from Luke, so that Rory could see the big news. Tears sprung to Rory's eyes from happiness and she smiled. "Oh, my god." She said as she walked over to him and hugged him.

Luke was completely oblivious to what had happened. He knew that he was at the hospital, but why was Lorelai and Rory crying and hugging him like that? The doctor, who had been treating Luke since he came to the ICU, walked by the room and saw that he was awake. He walked in.

"I see you're finally awake." The doctor said. Luke, Lorelai and Rory looked at him.

Rory and Lorelai pulled away from Luke, so that the doctor could take a look at him.

"So, how are you?" The doctor asked.

"Um, confused?" Luke answered. They all smiled at him. Lorelai even laughed a little, it felt great! Then she started to wonder. Did Luke hear what she had just told him? Did he know that she loved him now?.
