Aah aah [Incomprehensible]

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And it's tearin' me down

They live in Hartford in the Hayden Mansion.One day when Rory is 18 years old comes out of the hallway after talking to her father
who walks out and finds her mum in the kitchen crying after a fight with Christopher.

I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my bed
I told Dad you didn't mean

Those nasty things you said

Hours eairlier Rory is sitting up in her bed reading her book and hears her parents fighting in the kitchen.
Rory hears glasses been thrown around the kitchen and Christopher walks off.
Rory comes out of her room and finds her father leaving.

"Dad, Mum didn't mean those things she said" Rory tells him "Please don't go"

You fight about money
'Bout me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter

Lorelai and Christopher Fight about money. They fight about Rory and Rich.
Rory and Rich come home to that all the time and the home is surpose to there shelter.

It ain't easy, growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be You'll see,
I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family

Can we work it out? (Can we?)
Can we be a family? (Can we?)
I promise I'll be better (I promise)
Mommy, I'll do anything (I'll do anything)

"Mum can you work things out with Dad?" Rory asks

"Can we be a Family?" Rich asks

"I don't know" Lorelai tells them

"We promise we will be better" Rich says

"I'll do anything" Rory says

Can we work it out? C

Rory is at the door when Christopher is about to leave beggiing him not to leave

I can't stand the sound (Can't stand the sound)
Make Mama stop cryin' 'Cause I need you around

"Daddy will you stop yelling at mum" Rory says "I can't stand the sound"

"Im sorry Kiddo that you and Rich are in the middle of this"

No matter what she says is true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too

"Mum Loves you Dad We all know it" Rich says

"No matter what mum says is true" Rory says "I know that she hurts you but remember we love you too"

I ran away today Ran from the noise,

Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way

One day Rory can't stand the fighting so she runs away from all the fighting between her parents not wanting to go back home.
Rory has no choice so she evenually has to go back home.

Rory and Rich are looking at their family portrait and looking at how happy they all are in it.
Wondering when thing had changed and if it will be ever the same again.

Thanks for reading I hope you like my version of the song Family Portrait and who I wrote it.
Note I made up the family a little different to them in the show. Rory has a borther Rich in this story instead of Gigi.
