Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, okay?

A/N- Okay, Luke and Lorelai didn't get together before because it would have felt weird to them because then Lorelai would be dating her daughters uncle-in-law, and that would probably be a bit strange for them.

"So," Lorel said very stiffly to Rory as they entered the house. "Which room is mine?"

"Your grandmothers old room," Rory said walking towards her own room. She heard Lorel stomp up the stairs and slam the door shut.

Rory sat down on her bed and thought about where things had started to go wrong. Oh yes, it was when Lorel was 13 . . .

*-~-*-~-* Flashback *-~-*-~-*

"I want to move to a normal house," Rory said. "I don't want Lorel growing up in the city."

"It's fine here," Jess said. Lorel sat there and looked at her parents.

"No it's not!" Rory said. "I don't want Lorel to grow up here, she might end up like . . ."

"Like who?" Jess cut her off. "Like me? I grew up in New York and look at me, I'm fine and Lorel will be fine too."

"I want to live in a normal house and just be normal," Rory said.

"And you want Lorel to leave all her friends?" Jess said. "You want to do to her what my mom did to me? Make me move to some place I didn't want to be? I'm doubting Lorel would want to do that."

"You are impossible, my job brings in enough money. . . " Rory started.

"Oh yes, you are the main provider in this house, like I don't already know that." Jess yelled. "Just because I didn't go to college or anything like that doesn't mean I contribute some to this house."

"I wasn't saying," Rory said lowering her voice.

"Yes you were," Jess said. "I'm out of here." He grabbed his coat and his car keys and left.

"I hate you!" Lorel yelled. She'd walked out of her room in time to see Jess run out the door. She ran back into her room and slammed the door shut."

*-~-*-~-*-~-* Flashback Done *-~-*-~-*-~-*

Rory thought about the fight. Jess hadn't come home until morning, and he was drunk. She never had found out where he went after those fights that he ran out on.

Rory heard noises up stairs and someone saying something.

"I hate her, I hate her."
