Rating: T (may rise later)

Pairing: Trogan

Authors Note: Hey all! I know I shouldn't have written another one, but I couldn't resist. I've had this one on my mind for quite awhile and thought I should write it. And since summer is just around the corner updates to this fic and my others shouldn't be a huge problem. In fact rather shortly updates will be faster and more frequent. I'd just like to say that this Trogan is completely different from Lean On Me and I'm sure you'll see it as we continue on. Maybe even in the first chapter. It's a bit obvious I think in the summary that there different but just thought I should point it out. I'd also like to say that I'm not going to be abandoning my other fics, I'll update each fic in order so it's completely fair. Oh one more thing this is a completely alternate universe fic and Rory will be out of character! Just saying that now as a warning. Well that's it for now.

Stuff To Know:

Colin is Rory's twin brother

Tristan, Logan and Colin are all best friends

Chapter 1:

13 year old Rory Hayden bounded down the stairs happily, on a warm October morning. 'I can't believe it!' she thought as she ran toward the kitchen. 'I'm finally a teenager! Nothing can ruin this day!' Grinning excitedly she ran into the kitchen. 'Today is going to be the day things go back to how they used to be! I can feel it!' As she entered the kitchen she saw her twin brother Colin and his two best friends sitting at the round kitchen table eating cereal.

"Happy birthday, Colin!" she exclaimed smiling at him as she reached for a bowl.

Colin looked up angrily. "Who said you could talk to me?" he yelled. "I told you to never talk to me!"

Tristan choked into his cereal trying to hide his laughter, Logan on the other hand laughed hysterically.

"Go away!" Colin continued. "No one wants you here!"

"Yeah!" Tristan agreed smirking up at her hurt face. "No one wants to see your ugly face this early in the morning!"

"But…" Rory protested blinking back tears. "I... have...to...eat."

"You don't need more food!" Colin replied standing up, towering over his sister as he glared down at her. "You're much too fat as it is, you could go without a meal or two!" Colin sneered.

Rory looked back up at him, clearly upset. Silently she looked into his eyes begging him and pleading with him to stop.

"Oh look, she's going to cry!" Logan said standing up beside Colin. "God! You're such a cry baby!" he told Rory. "If we do anything or say anything you go running to your parents. You're such a loser!" he said with disgust.

Rory fled the room quickly. Not wanting the boys to see her tears that would surely fall any moment. She ran to her room, locking the door behind her, knowing the boys wouldn't be too far behind. Always ready to throw more rude comments at her, taunting her. 'Why are they like that to me?' she thought as she plopped down on the bed, 'What did I ever do to them? Why do they have to be like that to me on my birthday?' Rory rolled over as she heard the boys' footsteps on the stairs. Groaning, she grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it.

"Rory!" Colin called from outside the door as he banged on it. "Unlock the door!"

"No!" Rory yelled back.

"Please Rory!" Tristan replied. "We want to apologize for the way we've been treating you all these years!"

Grinning happily Rory jumped off the bed and flung the door open, she was met by a cloud of white. Rory screamed and backed up, but Logan grabbed her arm to hold her still as Tristan smashed an egg over her head. Rory screamed again, slapping the closest person to her, which was Tristan. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?" she screeched "It's my fucking birthday and you treat me like crap! You always treat me like crap! What the hell did I do to you?"

"You were born." Colin said harshly pushing her into her room hard, making her stumble and fall. "Take a shower! You stink!"

Logan quickly took a picture of the fallen, sobbing girl, and the trio walked away howling with laughter.

An hour later Rory emerged from the bathroom, feeling completely clean but worse than she'd ever felt in her life. She lay on her bed, rolled over and stared intently at the picture of Colin and herself when they were three, their first day of school. In the picture Rory and Colin had their arms wrapped around each other happily and were grinning into the camera excitedly. 'I wish things were still like that' Rory thought wistfully as she observed that picture 'After that day things were never the same. If only Logan and Tristan hadn't come along!' Tears formed in her eyes, but Rory quickly pushed them away. 'I can't deal with this anymore!' she thought. 'I don't want to deal with this anymore!' She sat up and tried to come up with a plan to get away from the torture. She was concentrating so hard that she didn't hear the boys enter her room.

"Well lookie who we have here." Logan sneered as Rory's head popped up at the sound of his voice.

"What do you guys want?" Rory asked quietly.

"What makes you think we want something?" Tristan asked sitting on Rory's bed.

"Because you only come in here when you want something." Roy pointed out tiredly. "So what do you want?"

"I don't know Tristan…" Colin said. "What could we possibly want with a loser like you?"

Tristan shrugged and Logan walked over to her nightstand and grabbed the picture that Rory was previously looking at. Throwing it carelessly over his shoulder the frame shattered into millions of pieces.

"No!" Rory screamed diving after it, Tristan jumped up after her, reaching the picture first and ripping it in half. He smirked, satisfied at hurting her yet again.

"You jerk!" Rory said glaring at him.

Tristan shrugged. "It was revenge." he replied, "For hitting me earlier, plus I hate you, so it all works out." He finished nodding, and casually putting his hands in his pockets.

"Go away!" Rory screamed.

"Not yet." Colin replied stepping up to his sister closely. So close that their toes were touching. "From now on…" he said darkly, "you're going to do all of our homework!" He said with a satisfied smirk.

Rory snorted. "That's a bit of an old line don't you think?" she asked smartly.

"Don't speak to me like that!" Colin yelled. "You're going to do our homework whether you like it or not! If you don't, I'll tell mom that you're the one who broke that dollhouse, great grandma Lorelai gave her!" He finished, narrowing his eyes.

"You wouldn't!" Rory gasped, knowing full well that Colin and Logan had broken it.

"Oh I would." Colin replied, nodding. "You know I will."

With that he stormed out of the room, just as quickly as he came in. Leaving Tristan and Logan, in the room with her, not caring what they would do or say to her. Luckily for her, they followed Colin, not before knocking all her pictures onto the floor and breaking the frames.

Once they left the room, Rory locked the door and lay on her bed, crying herself to sleep.

Several hours later Rory woke up to Lorelai sitting on her bed.

"Hey, sweets." Lorelai said softly, once Rory woke up. "What are you doing up here all by yourself on your birthday?"

"You know why!" Rory replied darkly. "How'd you get in here by the way?"

Lorelai sighed. "what did they do this time?" she asked ignoring Rory's question.

"What does it matter?" Rory replied, looking away.

"It matters Rory!" Lorelai insisted.

"I don't think it does." Rory said with tears in her eyes. "Nothing matters anymore I can't handle it anymore!" Letting the tears fall freely.

"So what do you want to do?" Her mother said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Rory looked deeply into her mother's eyes, and swallowed, knowing what it was she wanted. "I want to go away to boarding school." She said, softly

So what do you guys think? First chapters always suck I know, anyway I hated writing Rory and the boys like that but you had to see why she left, and how bad they were to her. Brothers can be like that maybe not that bad but hey kids are cruel. I'm not sure what people will think of this fic, it's different I've never seen anything like it personally but who knows if anyone's written anything like it. Anyway I know you guys aren't going to like how they treated her but that's the fic. I can say now that it'll mostly be in flashbacks now, all the teasing and bulling that is. If you didn't notice I had a hard time writing this chapter, I love the idea but it's hard to write them mean really mean. Well that's it for now...

Anyway my next chapters will be better I promise

Warnings for next chapter: Five years later! Rory's back and she's not alone!

Please review if you think I should continue!
