Who Will Win?

ROGAN! Sometimes we run from our past because it's what we think is best. But eventually it will catch up to us. It's just a matter of who will win. Because if our past wins, that means we are letting our past haunt us for the rest of our lives and we will never be able to live life to the fullest.

Information to Know:

Chris and Lorelai got married once Rory and her brother Mike were born. But they divorced. While they were together, they decided to live in Boston and they would be closer to Chris' parents. Rory will be close to both sets of grandparents especially the Hayden's. Rory will have a hidden past that will come out eventually surprising her new friends Logan, Colin, Finn, and Stephanie. Rory is friends with Paris and Tristan. They met the summer before their senior year at a society function (Rory decided to go to Chilton for reasons that will be explained). Before Rory went to Chilton, she would pull pranks and she knew how to party and have fun. But once she went to Chilton she turned into a Mary.

Rory goes by the last name Gilmore not Hayden. She used to go by Hayden while her parents were together but changed it once her and her mom moved to Stars Hollow. Rory and Paris went off to Yale, whereas, Tristan went off to Harvard. Paris and Tristan know about her hidden past. Rory is really rich but doesn't abuse the power of having a credit card with no limit and has more influence than her friends. The reason she and her family is rich is because there is Richard's insurance business, Straub being a Supreme Court Judge, Francine having a line of fancy luxury hotels that only the most wealthy stay at (she is starting to hand it over to Chris), the Hayden's own Starbucks (yes Rory and Lorelai still like their coffee), they also own the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Lorelai has her own line of inns, one being in Stars Hollow.(I know that's a lot but this is my story) Lorelai is still close to Chris' parents; even though she and Chris are divorced. The Hayden's always liked Lorelai and her crazy ways. This will be a Rogan. I don't know how the other pairings will go but Tristan is only like a big brother to Rory and Paris. Mike will not be in the story. So don't ask where her brother is, it will be explained. Everyone is the same age as they are on the show but Stephanie, she is Rory and Paris' age. This picks up at the beginning of her sophomore year at Yale and some parts of the story will be like the show. This is my first FanFic. Hope you like. I don't own Gilmore Girls or anything related to it.

Chapter 1: What Went Wrong?

'Paris you here?" Rory said wondering why her friend wasn't there; Paris was always early making sure everything was her way. Rory pulled her phone out calling Paris.

"Hello"

"Paris, its Rory."

"Oh Hey"

"Where you at?"

"Well, Asher's funeral just let out so I'm on my way."

"Oh My God Paris, I'm so sorry."

"It's all right; my mourning time has come and gone."

"How did he die, I mean he didn't die while…" Rory trailed off not knowing if she really wanted to know how Paris would respond.

"No Gilmore he didn't die while I was having sex with him!" Paris yelled.

"Sorry just wondering."

"OK I'm almost there; I'll see you in a little bit. Bye."

"Bye. And Paris…"

"Yeah?"

"I really am sorry."

"I know you are." And with that they both hung up.

Rory decided to go out and get coffee and walk around while thinking about things, especially her past.

They were lying in her bed watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when Mike said "Hey Ror, what's going to happen to us after high school?"

"What?" Rory asked wondering where is this coming from, college wasn't for another two years. I mean yeah the next two years will probably go by quick but I mean college talk shouldn't be happening for another year. I guess there is nothing like the present.

"College is just around the corner…"

"Two years isn't just around the corner, now six months is a different story but TWO years."

"Rory the next two years are going to go by quick and you know it. I mean it just seems like yesterday we started high school and here we are now, halfway through it, not knowing where it went."

"Technically, we know where it went. I mean it didn't even move; its still there at the intersection of First and Columbia."

As serious as Mike wanted this conversation to be, he had to laugh at what his twin sister said.

"Very funny. But really what's going to happen, are we even going?"

"Yes we're going why would you even say that or even think that for that matter." Rory said angrily.

"Well Ror we haven't talked about college and I wanted to know your opinion."

"Do you not want to go?" Rory said calming down, not actually believing that he was possibly considering not going. For one, she would have his head, then their parents would get the rest of him and then their grandparents would probably kill their parents for having raised a son to believe there was the option of not going to college.

"Yeah, I want to go but if you think about it, we don't even have to go. Our jobs are already picked out for us. We automatically become CEO's of our families companies. We don't need more education to run them. We already know how to run them. We have been raised to and have been going to our grandparents and parents works for the past five years. I mean you and me pretty much own the Steeler's now. We're the ones always signing the contracts, going to the meetings, hiring and firing people, and going to the games. We run the show. I know we're young but that's how it is. The main reason I want to go to college is for the parties and the girls."

"Still planning on being the playboy in college?"

"Better believe it."

"I get your point about college. We don't have to go if we don't want to. It's just expected. We have to live up to the family name, whether it is Gilmore or Hayden. But I also feel I have to go, get a better education, become smarter, and have four more years till high society takes us forever."

"That's another reason I want to go because once we're done with school there's no more partying and goofing around. I mean we can be like our parents and hate society and the life that comes with it and then just mock people at the parties and have a good time not caring what other people think."

"That's exactly how I want my future to be like. I don't want to be a trophy wife. I want to still have fun like our parents do. I want to do something with my life. I don't want to work so much that I forget I have a family, like our friends parents do."

"You'll never be a trophy wife. You won't forget your family. I won't let it happen. Plus, our parents and grandparents plan on you working for the companies. Any guy would be lucky to have you and would not make you become a trophy wife if they knew what you truly wanted."

"I guess you're right."

"I'm always right."

"Aren't we a little cocky today?"

"Me? Nah, I'm not cocky. At least not today, I'm not." Mike said with a smile.

"So where do you want to go to college?" Rory said.

"Honestly?"

"Honestly."

"Honestly, I don't care."

"Same here."

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Uh, I thought you would have the college picked out and the classes you wanted to take considering you have tons of stuff with Harvard on it."

"OK, maybe I do want to go there. But I want to go wherever you go. I know eventually we will have to make our own decisions and do things on our own but I don't want that to happen yet." Rory said sadly. Making Mike feel bad for starting a serious conversation like this.

"I'll always be there for you. You know that right?"

"Yeah I know. It's just good to hear it every once in a while. You know I'll always be there for you too, right?"

"Of course."

"So what's the plan?"

"How about we plan on both going to Harvard no matter what?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean I don't care where we go I jut want to be close to you. You're my best friend."

"What about Andy, David and Matt?"

"Nope you're the one I can always count on."

"You're my best friend, too. I'm not just saying that because I'm your best friend but because I really mean it. I mean, yeah Natalie and me are always together but you and me have a special connection."

"What about Andy?"

"He's my boyfriend. We have a different special connection." Rory said smirking.

"Ah geez. Why did you say that? I so did not want to think about my sister and friend like that."

"Cause I wanted to see the look on your face and trust me it was worth it." Rory said laughing.

"Sooo Harvard?"

"Yeah, only if our friends want to go there because we all have to go to the same place. I couldn't live without them."

"I know what you mean but they're going to Harvard their parents are making them. We're the only ones who have a choice."

"I guess you're right…So Harvard?"

"Harvard."

And here she was…at Yale. What happened? Why didn't she just follow the plan? It was simple…go to Harvard. Before she knew it, she was back at her dorm. It looked liked Paris was there.
