This belongs to Amy Sherman Palladino!
"I can not believe that woman," said Lorelai as she slammed the front door of their house shut. It had been a long night and both Rory and Lorelai were relieved that it was over since the tension in the other Gilmore house was just too much to handle.
"Poor Tristan!" exclaimed Rory as she collapsed on the couch, "I mean to have to sit there and listen to Grandma suggest the idea of throwing a party for our relationship? I, myself thought I was going to collapse at the idea!" Rory quickly sat up and looked at her mother questionably, "How could Grandma even think about throwing a big party for me of all people? Doesn't she now how much I hate them?" She covered her face and sighed in frustration, "For God's sake; at the party Madeline threw I spent most of my time sitting in a corner reading my book!"
Lorelai reached down and stroked Rory's head softly, "You usually do that at parties." She took that same hand and ran her fingers through her hair, "God, I still can't believe it. The night started off okay, but it seems we can never come off of a Friday night dinner at their house in peace."
There was a pause, which was soon broken by Rory's voice, "Mom," said Rory softly.
"Yes honey," whispered Lorelai.
"About what you said about you and dad…"
"Oh sweets," reassured Lorelai, "don't worry about that."
Rory looked at down at the carpet, "It's kind of hard not too."
Lorelai looked down at her daughter, a look of sorrow written across her face. "It's hard for my mother to…" Lorelai paused struggling for the right words, "say things to people that don't mean to mentally slap them across the face. I mean…" she sighed heavily as she winced, "she knew exactly how much talking about your dad would hurt me."
Rory brought her head up and let her chin softly rest upon her hands, "that was so wrong how she did that. I mean why would she suddenly mention him like that?"
Lorelai looked at her daughter and shrugged, "I guess it's the Gilmore way."
Rory's eyes met with her mother's tear stained ones. "If that's the Gilmore way," said Rory, "then I don't want to be a Gilmore."
Lorelai laughed bitterly as she wiped a tear. "Yeah," she sniffed, "join the club."
Well there it is another chapter! I know pretty short but I thought it was pretty good. I'll try to make the next chapter a little longer. Until then enjoy this one and please review:)
