Read and Review!


Everyone switched their gaze, leaving Lorelai looking at Luke and Rory looking at Jess. They were silent for another minute, before Luke shouted,

"Everybody out!"

Everyone who was seated quickly got up and left, they all crowded around the window outside. Babbette and Patty were at the front.

"Maybe we should go upstairs?" Jess said.

"I'm not going upstairs with you." Rory said bitterly to Jess.

"Good because no one wants you to go upstairs." Lorelai said

"You know she needs to come up for this to be settled, don't be crazy." Luke said.

"I wouldn't be so crazy if you wouldn't be such a jerk," Lorelai said, "And you wouldn't be so selfish" She finished pointing at Rory.

"Oh she's selfish?" Jess asked "I don't recall her being the one trying to keep her daughter away from her boyfriend so they can sit around watching movies when they are about to go to Europe for two and a half months."

"Why don't you learn to keep your mouth shut? That's what you do any other time." Lorelai said.

"Why don't you keep yours shut! He didn't do anything to you!" Rory said.

"Oh yeah, expect for corrupt my daughter."

"Oh so I am just a horrible child now, aren't I?" Rory asked.

"Well normally a good child would keep their pants zipped until they were married." Luke chimed in. Everyone got quiet and Rory's eyes filled with tears.

"Well as much as I would like to continue this…" Rory trailed off and ran upstairs to the apartment.

"What the hell would possess you to say something like that?" Jess asked before running up the stairs behind her.

Lorelai started, "A plus in Being a Jerk 101, Luke." Lorelai went up after Rory and Jess. Luke walked around the counter and pulled out a stool and sat, cradling his head in his hands.


Rory was in the bathroom sitting on the floor leaning against the wall, crying. Jess knocked on the door, "Can I come in?"

Rory stayed quiet. Jess tried the handle and found that it was open. He slowly opened the door and Rory faced away from him. He came inside and shut the door behind him. He sat down and sighed. Rory sniffed, and looked at him.

"I'm sorry for freaking out on you earlier." Rory said quietly. Her eyes were red and puffy and her makeup was smeared around her eyes.

"It's okay." He wrapped his arms around her and she scooted into his lap. Lorelai entered the apartment and her faint talking coming from the bathroom. She walked over to the door, and knocked. "Who is it?" Jess asked.

"Lorelai." She said, still angry. She heard some rustling and then the door opened to reveal Rory, and Jess standing behind her.

"Yes?" Rory asked bitterly.

"I was coming to see if you were okay."

Rory softened. "I'm sorry, mom."

"I'm sorry to kid. For all the mean stuff that I said."

Rory leaned in and gave her a hug. Jess sighed, relieved.


Rory was laying on her bed talking on the phone with Jess. "So you and Luke haven't talked yet?"

"Nope. Have you?"

"Nope. How long are you gonna freeze him out?"

"Until he apologizes to you." Jess said.

"I don't think he has talked to mom either."

"Or has your mom not talked to him?"

"I think its both. He's definitely mad at her. Some words must have been shared." Rory said.

"Yeah."

"What are you doing?"

"Getting ready for work."

"I didn't know you had to work tonight."

"Neither did I until they called."

"Oh. What time will I see you tomorrow?"

"I get off at nine in the morning, so whenever."

"I can't believe we are leaving for Europe in a day."

"I know."

"I am going to be back packing across Europe. Maybe in France I can get one of those hats that go to the side and have that little pointy thing on top. Have you ever seen those? Let me tell you they are some cool hats."

"Well good luck trying to find one."

"Thank you very much." Rory said smiling.

"Alright, well I gotta go."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow at 10."

"Ten? Can you even get up that early?"

"Well I have to spend the whole day with you since I am leaving at like 5 in the morning the next."

"Speaking of which, am I going with you to the airport?"

"Oh no!"

"No?"

"Not no, like no you can't go, oh no like that's bad! Luke was supposed to take us to the airport."

"Well you guys have all day tomorrow to make up and get everything settled."

"That's true."

"And if not, I think I could handle riding back to Stars Hollow with Sookie and Jackson."

"Awwwe, you're sweet"

"Okay I gotta go. Love you."

"Love you to. Bye." Rory clicked off the phone and smiled. She was going to Europe!
