Rory and Jess sat at the kitchen table with Lorelai. They were both dreading whatever she was going to say.

"Jess.. Let's think through this," Lorelai began. Jess looked up. He knew what was coming.

"Yes?" Jess asked.

"You and my beloved daughter, Rory, went to a party last night," Lorelai said.

"Yes, we did," Jess replied, getting a little restless.

"From my understanding, you was in a really bad mood," Lorelai said.

"Yeah," Jess said. He sighed.

"So you just took off and went upstairs?"

"Yeah, so? Big deal," Jess said, his voice nonchalant.

"So my daughter came upstairs to see what was wrong with you and instead of telling her you start to make out with her?" Lorelai asked.

"She is my girlfriend," Jess explained.

"But no, no, you couldn't stop at making out? You had to go farther. My daughter isn't ready for that, Jess. Then when she tells you that, you snap at her causing her to cry and run downstairs where she bumps into her ex-boyfriend, still crying, and you guys get into a huge fight? Jess? What has gotten into you?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Jess said.

"Jess. I don't want you seeing my daughter anymore," Lorelai said.

"Mom.. don't," Rory said.

"He's trouble. He's violent and selfish, Rory. You don't need him," Lorelai said.

"Mom! You can't force me to stop seeing him! You can't! I'll go behind your back and see him! You'll never know! Mom, don't ruin my life!" Rory screamed. She got up and ran out the door. Jess, feeling awkward, ran after her.
