Her mother walked into her room and stared at her. It was eleven thirty on a saturday. She was usually up. "What's up?" She asked after waiting impatiently.
"Nothing." Came Rory's muffled responce.
"Bull. You came late yesterday, went right to sleep didn't say a word to me." She stood at the foot of her bed and stared.
"I didn't know I was required to check in with you before going to sleep." She shot back.
"Okay, stop right there. I asked a question no need to bite my head off."
"Mom, I'm eighteen years old. Do I seriously need your permission to go out, come home and go to sleep, and then sleep alittle late the next day?" She sat up and glared at her mother. Why was she taking this all out on her mother? Everything had been strained between them the last few weeks, and it seemed that at every chance they could they'd attack each other verbally.
"What the hell is happening here, Ror? We never used to be like this?" Rory just turned away and laid back down. "Fine, I'm going to Luke's." She left her daughter's room and left the house. Minutes later she heard her cell phone ring. The caller I.D. read Dean. She shut the phone off and went to shower.

She got into her new car, a present from her grandparents, and took off down the street. She didn't bother leaving a note for Lorelai. While sitting at the town's stop light, she picked up her cell phone and noticed she had five missed calls and voice messages. All from Dean, she shook her head and called the second number on her speed dial.
"Hello." She heard his deep voice answer the phone.
"We need to talk. I know you don't wanna talk to me, but we need to. I won't let you leave without me talking to you first."
He was silent. "Fine. Where are you?"
"I'm in my car. Trying to get away from Stars Hollow. Meet me at 1405 Glenview in Hartford."
"Bye." She reached the house ten minutes later and rang the doorbell. The door swung open and revealed Tristan DuGrey. Rory's new best friend since he had returned from Military school. They had both lost all intrest in each other more than friends and now they did anything for one another.
"Mary, what are you doing here?" He asked surprised.
"Jess is coming over." Tristan nodded knowing exactly what was going on and let her make her way up the stairs and to the extra bedroom. She took off her shoes and threw her purse on the floor and began pacing waiting for Jess to show. It seemed like forever, but fifteen minutes later the doorbell rang. Tristan obviously let him in and directed him up to her where abouts. He knocked on the door and she told him to enter. He opened the door and didn't even look at her before tossing his keys on the table by the door.
"You rang." He looked at her.
"I did." she nodded and watched him take in the room.
"Who's he, your other boyfriend?" He asked, refering to Tristan.
"Good friend."
He nodded. "Ah, you have many of those." He said sarcasticly and sat down on a chair. "So you wanted to talk. This can't take too long, I still have to pack."
"Jess, why are you being like this?"
"Like what, Rory?"
"Leaving.."
"Rory, you know I like you, god dammit, I love you. You flirt with me, you even kissed me, and then the very next day you're with Dean right in front of my god damn face. I don't need or want to take this shit anymore Rory. You had the choice, and you've obviously made it by staying with Dean. So you'll have your way and I'll leave."
"You leaving is not my way."
"Oh you want me to be around so you'll always have someone to fall back on when Deans not around"
"Jess-" He got up and stood in front of her.
"You have no idea what I have to go through just seeing you two. I'll go to NY and try to move on." She stood up and now they were face to face.
"You know it's not like that." She looked him in the eyes. "You know I like you, Jess, but I'm with Dean and I don't wanna screw things up." He stared at her and kissed her square on the lips. And she didn't push him away.
Her mother walked into her room and stared at her. It was eleven thirty on a saturday. She was usually up. "What's up?" She asked after waiting impatiently.
