Watching Max pull of out the driveway in his Camaro, Lorelai clutched the tissue in her hand tightly. She decided that she should go and tell Luke what had happened. Luke had been a sort of father-figure over the years, more so than Rory's real dad, Christopher. Going upstairs to change, she was still in some what of a fog. She couldn't shake the terror from her mind; the scene of the accident kept flashing in her mind. Pulling on jeans, she searched through her closet for a shirt. Finding one, she tugged it over her head. Dark purple with sequins and a pretty floral design on the sides, it was one of Rory's favorites. Remembering this bittersweetly, she slipped into her dark blue sneakers. Gliding down the stairs, she went out the back door and 
locked it, went around her house and started making her way to Luke's.

Luke looked up as he heard the door open. There, standing looking lost, hair disheveled, was the woman he loved. Lorelai was so beautiful, even when she was looking at her self-proclaimed "worst". Seeing that today wasn't a good day for their usual banter, he poured her a cup of coffee as she listlessly made her way over to the counter. She sat down, and ignoring the cup of coffee in front of her, put her head in her hands.

"What's wrong?" Luke asked gruffly.

"Today has been the day from hell. Rory got into a car accident."

"What!" Luke exclaimed, spilling coffee on the counter. "Is she okay?"

"I don't know.. the hospital said they would call later." Luke made his way around the counter, and stopped in front of Lorelai. Putting his hand gently on her shoulder, he asked, "Are you okay?"

"No. I'm so worried, Luke." she responded, starting to cry again. 

"Excuse me, everybody," Luke said loudly. "The diner is closed. Out, out."

"Luke, what are you doing?! You can't close the diner," Lorelai stated as people filed out the door.

"Yes, I can. I'll walk you home and wait for the call with you. Take your purse and your coat and go."

Lorelai grabbed her things and walked out the door, Luke following behind her. After he locked it, he and Lorelai started towards her house.
