Ring. Ring. Rory's cell phone was ringing. She just got at Yale yesterday and was rooming with Steph. "Hello" she answered tiredly. She looked at the clock it read 7:30 she groaned.
"Rory it's your grandmother." Emily Gilmore's voice rang through the phone.
"Good morning grandma." Rory said as she was getting out of bed. She walked into their kitchen and started a pot of coffee.
"Well I have arranged you a date tonight his name is Marcus Fernamuse he will be at the Yale pub tonight at 7 for your date." Emily said. Rory had just taken a sip of her coffee. She started chocking on it. Colin came out of Steph's room and looked at Rory with a look that said 'what's going on, oh grandparents. Are you ok?' she nodded. He took a seat beside her. "Hello…Rory?" Emily said.
"Grandma it's really nice of you but I don't want to go on a date with him tonight." Rory tried to say calmly. Colin heard this and gave her a pat on the back and a small smile. Their parents and grandparents were always trying to set them up with other heirs. Rory had just broken up with Dean after he didn't like the fact that Rory hung out with Logan, Colin and Finn so much. Rory said that they were her friends. Rory just though back to that day.
It was a Friday night and she was having a movie night with the guys when there was a knock on Rory's door. She opened it. "Dean. What are you doing here?" The guys all sat up when they heard this. None of them like dean they all thought that Rory was too good for him. Dean grabbed Rory's face and tried to kiss her passionately. She pushed him off and backed up. The guys were still sitting on the coach ready to interfere if things got out of control.
"Rory what the heck?" Dean asked sounding mad.
"We need to talk." Rory said quietly. "Could you excuse us guys?" she said walking to her bedroom. "Dean come in here." Dean walked into Rory's room. She was sitting on the bed. He turned around and locked the door. "What was that out there?" Rory asked Dean starting to sound mad.
"I didn't want them getting any ideas, I wanted them to know that you're mine." He said smiling brightly at the last part.
"What, am I some kind of property?" Rory asked. "Dean this isn't working I think it's time we break up." She said quietly. Dean turned furious. He ran over to the bed where she was sitting and slapped her across the face. The guys herd it and came in. Logan and Colin took Dean outside to "Teach him a lesosn." Meanwhile Finn stayed behind to make sure Rory was ok.
"LORALEI LEIGH GILMORE-HAYDEN" Emily was screaming into the phone. Rory snapped out of her trance.
"Sorry grandma what?" Rory said trying to sound sincere.
"You will meet Mr. Fernamuse tonight and you will have a great time. This is final." Rory sighed.
"Yes grandma."
"Alright have fun tonight Rory." Emily said. Rory hung up. She sighed.
"What's up, Hayden?" Colin asked sounding sincere. She walked over to the coach and sat down he fallowed.
"Well." she started but, then her door unlocked and Finn and Logan came in. She had given all the guys keys.
"Good morning Ace." Logan said brightly. Finn just walked over to the other side of Rory and groaned.
"Why are we here at this ungodly hour?" he asked himself.
"So…. what's wrong ace?" Logan said after seeing she looked down. Finn immediately shot up, sobered up and looked at Rory. All the guys loved Rory like a sister.
"It's nothing." She said. Logan reached out and grabbed her hand. He was sitting on the coffee table in front of her.
"Come one Ace tell us." Logan urged.
"My grandmother just called and set me up with Marcus Fernamuse for tonight." She paused. She continued quietly, "what if he ends up just like Dean though." She finished and started crying she turned to her right and leaned into Finn.
He held her and whispered into her ear, "don't worry love it won't be like Dean. We won't let it." All the guys nodded.
"I don't deserve friends like you guys." She said laughing.
"Actually we don't deserve you." Colin started. "What about the time when you bailed us out of jail I mean times actually." He said pushing the times.
"Or the time when you told the teacher it was your fault that the statue was broken and saved us from being expelled from Chilton." Logan said.
"Alright already I get your point." She said. "Still you guys are the greatest. Just then Stephanie just emerging from her bedroom.
"Morning." She said. She got a gaggle of good mornings.
"Alright I'm going to go get ready then." Rory started. "Mr. Huntzburger we have a meeting for the paper." She said in a motherly tone.
"Don't remind me Ace." Rory left for her room. Stephanie noticed that it looked like Rory had been crying.
"What's wrong with her?" Stephanie asked.
"Oh her grandmother just set her up and she was afraid of another Dean situation." Logan said.
"Oh." She said. She remembered the Dean situation a little. She was in California to visit some friends when this happened. The guys told her.
Rory came out of her room in jeans, boots and a blue sweeter. "Ready to go?" she asked Logan, while grabbing a cup of coffee to go.
"Yes I guess the sooner we go the sooner we get back." He said getting up.
"You look great Hayden." Colin said with Finn and Steph nodding in agreement.
"Thanks guys." She said.
"Bye girlie." Steph said.
"Bye Love." Finn said.
"Bye guys." She said. "Shall we?" She asked Logan.
"We shall." He said putting his arm around her waist.
