A/N- italics rory's thoughts

"Ms. Gilmore lovely to see you." Dr. Anderson said as I walked into the room and took a seat. I need to remember and be calm, I cannot be stuck here for three months. I am not insane show her how not insane you are. Great now I'm having internal arguments with myself, maybe I am insane.

"You too." Good keep it nice and simple.

"Okay well, I thought that we could just jump right to the questioning." Oh how shocking. Don't freak out remember nice and simple.

"Sure."

"Alright so what exactly inspired you to come back to Yale?" Huh. That is an excellent question actually. What did inspire me? Wait, It was not a what it was a who. Uh-oh it was Jess. Great now if I say his name that could lead to more questioning and our story is too long to tell. Okay so how do I make him seem of unimportance? Who should I say he is? An ex-boyfriend? Ha, yeah right. An old friend? Doubt it. Just a friend? That's pretty nice and simple.

"A friend."

"And how did this friend have such a significant impact on you?" Man I knew I couldn't keep this up for long. Well time to confess.

"Um, he's actually an ex."

"Ah, is he the one that got away?" Stop. Rewind.

"Excuse me?"

"You know the one who you never got your happy ending with, But fate always brings you together." How does she know this?

"No." I say partly confused and partly lying.

"So was it a mutual break up?"

"Uh, no"

"Did he break up with you?"

"Not exactly."

"So you broke up with him."

"Jeez your like the freaking paparazzi"

"Sorry, Just trying to get some answers." silence. "So what happened then?" Dr. Anderson asks slowly. Just take a deep breath.

"He moved." Im proud of you Gilmore you have now reached nice and simple territory again.

"Was he your first love?" Yes!

"No, he was my second."

"That's interesting." Why is she smiling at me like that?

"What is?"

"Most girls say that they will always love their first love. Not so much there second unless...he was the one that got away." I'm trying to come up with something to say. Should I get defensive and deny it? Should I give her a sarcastic comment like "im not like most girls." Nope, it's official she has me speechless.

"Um" I say looking down at my hands because Im afraid that if I look in her eyes she'll get all the answers she was looking for. "Next question."

Knock.

Knock

Knock.

"Who is it?" I ask sitting on my couch with a giant bowl of ice cream trying to recover from my horrible therapy session.

"Room service." A high pitched women's voice answers.

"You can come in mom."

"What if I was a killer?"she asks as she comes and sits by me on the couch.

"I'm pretty sure killers would be smart enough not to try to break in by shouting "room service" in an apartment building."

"Oh well I was never cut out for that job anyway."

"So what are you doing here?"

"Well I couldn't remember what you looked like so I thought I'd stop by."

"I look the same." I answer a little annoyed.

"Well this is embarrassing Im not wanted in my own daughters apartment."

"No your always wanted, I just had a bad day."

"Why?"

"Therapy." I say in a duh-tone.

"Oh did you freak again?"

"No the questions were stressful but I held my own."

"Good. So what were they about?"

"Jess." I answer looking down.

"Really?" She asks shocked. "Why?"

"Um, she wanted to know what inspired me to come back."

"And that was Jess?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry did I miss something. Are you with him again?"

"No he just came by to show me the book he wrote then, we went out to dinner with the uninvited guest Logan, And Logan kept interrogating him and he walked out. So I followed him and he starting yelling at me on how I was not being myself. And I guess it just opened my eyes." I said taking a breath.

"Wait, Jess wrote a book?"

"Yeah."

"Is it good?"

"Yeah it's really good. You should read it."

"Is that why your not talking to Logan?"

"Partly."

"Jeez could I be a little more behind?" I could feel my moms eyes on me. As I was looking nervously at my hands again.

"Did something else happen, Rory?"

"No. I just didn't want Jess to see me like that and I didn't like him being degraded."

"Aw, hun." She said stroking my hair.

"So do you want pizza?" Definitely time for a subject change.

"A small coffee to go please." I told the man behind the counter at the little café.

"Thank you." I said as I was walking out the door I heard a voice call out my name. Come on. I already have to deal with you twice a week.

"Hey, you want to sit for a little bit?" Hell no.

"I'd love to but I've got an article calling my name."

"Please. Just for a second." Dammit. Why do I have an uncontrollable need to please people?

"Okay." I say as I take a seat across from her.

"So how has your day been?"

"Fine." until now.

"Good, so is anything new?"

"I'm sorry is there like a secret meaning behind these questions that your going to hold over me at are next session?"

"No, im just wondering. I found out that people can talk to other people they know better than people they don't." Haven't I been saying that this entire time?

"Oh, well no nothings new with me. How about you?" yeah like I care.

"Well I just got the complete marks brothers box set and was looking for someone who shares my interest in them to come join me to watch them."

"Marks Brother's? Well you have good taste."

"You like them?" say no, say no.

"Yeah."

"Would you like to come over Saturday and watch them with me." It's a trick don't give in. Do not be fooled by her taste.

"Um, sure."

"Great, well I guess I'll let you go and I will just see you Saturday." Your weak Gilmore.
