Just Fiction

Luke and Lorelai met eight years ago. And since then, Luke has had a thing for Lorelai, which the entire town knew, but she remained completely oblivious to.

He watched her go from guy to guy: her running away for fear of commitment and ending it due to a certain lacking. No matter how hard she looked, the 'right one' seemed to remain far-too-well hidden. But Luke was always there for her when she was hurt and alone, offering comfort and even sometimes words of advice.

Finally, Luke made his move. And in doing so, Lorelai's eyes were opened: he captured the heart and entire being of Lorelai. He told her "Lorelai, this thing we're doing, i just want you to know, I am all in."

And so it seemed... things were going well, and it was very evident that Lorelai had fallen head-over-heals for the guy who had been right in front of her all along.

But all good things must come to an end. A problem came around, and Luke told Lorelai "I just need some time to figure things out." And so she backed off a bit, wanting so much to talk to him, but respecting his needs. Only days later, however, time was no longer what he needed. Instead, he informed her that he could no longer be in this relationship.

It had come out of left field: it had just been a small complication, something two people in a relationship should be able to overcome. But instead he decided it wasn't worth it.
Her heart broke.

Never before had Lorelai fallen apart over a boy. She disappeared into her house, where her friend later found her in bed, mourning the loss of someone she had believed to be 'the one'. She was devastated and ended up neglecting things that had once been important and even a priority in her life.

Now this would be a sad story if it ended here. But luckily for Luke and Lorelai, it didn't. (other's aren't as fortunate as them)

After a few weeks of Luke's foul mood and violent nature, he received a wake-up call from an unexpected source. He knew what he wanted, and he knew what he needed, and he no longer sat around pretending it was not true. He ran to Lorelai's door...
and they got to have their middle.
