A Different Way of Life
Disclaimer: I don't own any thing.
Summery: Takes place after 5.13, Say Something. What if Luke left, like he promised the town, but comes back a few later because someone called him with shocking news. AU and my be slightly OOC
A/N: I just over came writers block for this story so if this chapter is bad just stick with me and it will get better.
A/N 2: This chapter is a filler and very random… oh and its about Luke's life over the past 6 months.

Ch 3: Old Flings, New Flings and Existing Things, part I
Last Time:
"Perfect. We have our four choices now. For a girl, you can use Delilah Mae or Lorelai Ashtyn. And for a boy, you can use Lucas Austin or William Michael." Rory said.
"Life in Mayberry is nothing like Stars Hollow, except they are exactly alike."
I thought that I saw Luke's green truck drive by. I knew it couldn't be him.
I hope my Gilmore girls are doing well and finding a way to get the coffee they need to survive.

Luke's POV:
"What was your life like before you can to Mayberry?" she asked me.
"Well, 6 months ago I left Stars Hollow, CT." I began. "My girlfriend of a few months and I had just broken up and having made a stupid promise a few months earlier, saying that I would move if we ever broke up, I fled town. I left in the middle of the night so no one would know I left. I drove to the Hartford Airport, bought tickets on the first available flight which took me to Seattle, then I rented a car and drove until I came across Mayberry." I said, pausing to let her get caught up.
"Well, why do you and your girlfriend break up?" she asked.
"Me and my girlfriend broke up because she hid an evening with her ex-boyfriend, who happens to be the father of her daughter, and at her parent's wedding vow renewal ceremony he told her that they belonged together." I paused. "For 8 years we were friends and I was in love with her and she was in love with me; only neither of us would admit our feelings until my sister's wedding, which we went to together. Lorelai, my ex, was my best friend, my soul mate, and the only person I have ever really wanted to spend the rest of my life with." I said, with sadness in my voice. As soon as she heard what I had to say about Lorelai, I could see the sadness in her eyes and I wished that I hadn't been the cause of that sadness.
"But she has a kid from a previous relationship, doesn't that bother you?" she asked, her voice filled with hurt and pain.
"Not really." I said. "You have to understand that I have know Rory, my ex's daughter, since she was a little girl, I guess since she was about 8 or 9. Once Lorelai and I became friends, she and Rory would always be in the diner and I just came to see Rory as my own daughter." I really should stop telling her about Rory and Lorelai I thought, it must be killing her.
"So was Lorelai the "one" for you?" She asked, this time she tried to hide her pain in hopes of some positive response.
"Yes, she was. She is my everything; my best friend, my soul mate, my rock, and my reason for living. I knew or at least I thought she was the one, until I heard her ex saying all those things. I knew right then that any future I thought I had with her was over." I said. "Taryn, I am so sorry to have to tell you this but we can't be anything more then friends right now. It hurts me too much and I don't want to hurt you. You are so much like Lorelai and I think that's why we became friends and that's great, but to be anything more I would compare you to her and its not fair to you at all. I am so sorry. I hope we can still remain friends." I said.
"No Luke we can't." Taryn said, tears begging to fall from her eyes. "Luke, over the past 6 months we have become a lot closer and I started to have feelings for you. Knowing that you love someone else at the same time as I love you is too hard and I can't be around you right now." She paused; the tears were falling hard now. "Please just do me one last favor. Go back and find her and make things right. You owe it to yourself."
"Okay." Luke said. He was at a loss for words. He wasn't quite sure how to respond to something like that. "I will pack and leave tomorrow. Goodbye Taryn and take care." And with that Luke and Taryn went their separate ways, neither knew what lied ahead.

A/N: okay, first off, sorry it took so long to write this. Secondly, this chapter was more of a filler and from now on the story will really pick up (Lorelai giving birth, Luke returning, and maybe even more Rogan). Stay tuned and don't forget to leave reviews!!!!
