Chapter Seven: It All Makes Sense.


It had been over a month since the play, as Jenna walked home from her night class, it was the last week of classes, and then finals would start for the end term. She smiled to her self, at the thought of spending Christmas Break with Jess, he had already meet her brothers, but being able to be together on Christmas celebrations just felt right. She looked at Jess room as he walked but, knowing that he wouldn't be back from his job for another hour. She fiddled with her keys for a moment before realizing some one was watching her. She looked down the hall saw a figured, slouched against the wall.

"You!" a familiar voice said. "My so called daughter, the one who ruined-my-li-ife." The voice slurred as it walked towards her.
Jenna began to shake "Mom?" She asked stepping back
"Well who did YOU think it was, well I'm not exactly your mother now am I? HA! Look at you. Trying to make your life better. You are a good for nothing little brat." Her mother slurred, trying to walk towards Jenna.

"Are you drunk?" Jenna asked

"Pfft! Am I drunk….yah…so, you go to Yale. Bet you thought I wouldn't find you, bet you thought, you were free from me. But your wrong. You and you good for nothing brothers are a bunch of lying trouble makers trying to get all our money! You deserved to get hit, you deserved everything YOU GOT" Her mother yelled.
"

No….no…I "Jenna started but her choked up voice stopped.

"Oh what? Are you going to cry? Your weak!" Her mother said grabbing Jenna.

"Get off me" Jenna cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm three times the person you'll ever be."

Jenna ran off, leaving her mother to stumble around the hall. She didn't know where she was running to, but she quickly found her self slamming on Rory Gilmore's door. They had become somewhat friends in the past month, not best buddies, but they both had a mutual respect, and were starting to work on a friendship, knocking on the door at 10:30 acting hysterical will probably won't get her self in the good books, but she had no place to go, and she wanted to be as far away from her mother as she could get.

"What the…Jenna?" Rory asked swinging open the door. "Omigod! Jenna! What wrong?"

"I-I had no where else….to go." Jenna sobbed. "I…."

"Come here" Rory said softly leading her to a couch. "What happened?"

Jenna tried too speak, but burst out into tears again.

"Did something happen between you and Jess?"

Jenna shook her head.

"Rory, what's going…..Is she alright?" Paris asked seeing Jenna on the couch.

Rory shrugged, as Paris went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water.

"Jenna, you need to calm down for me alright, take a deep breathe." Rory said calmly.

After a few moments, and a glass of water, curtsey of Paris, Jenna had finally calmed down enough to talk.

"Alright, so what happened?" Rory asked.

"I came home from my night class, and my mom was standing there" Jenna explained. "She…was…told me how horrible I am, how I'm good for nothing, how….how I deserved to be hit back when I lived with her….." Jenna explained breaking down into tears again. Rory hugged her, as Jenna cried on her shoulder. Finally understanding what her mother meant back that night when they had the fight about Jenna probably had dark times in her past, she realized how much of a foul she had been acting, and that Jenna wasn't so bad, as she once thought, she wasn't as confident as she appeared to be either.

Paris stood there, and grabbed Jenna's bag, looking for her cell phone, finally finding Jess's number.

"Is this Jess?" Paris asked.

"Yes….is this Paris? Why are you calling me?" Jess asked.

"Look, I don't like you, but Jenna is here."

"Here where?" Jess asked.

"Here, at me and Rory's place, Something happened. Her mother came by or something, I'm not sure, she's really upset, and I think you need to get over here…..soon."

"I'm on my way" Jess said quickly.

With in moments Jess was knocking on the door, Jenna had calmed down enough, but she still shaken up.

"Jenna?" Jess asked as he rushed in the door wrapping his arms around Jenna. "What happened." Jenna explained, but was able to talk without going into complete hysteria He sat with Jenna in his arms for a few moments, holding her. While Rory and Paris stood awkwardly in the door way. After fifteen moments Jenna was pretty much back to normal.. Campus police where called, and her mother was charged, and arrested for breach of a restraining order.

"I guess I should explain, what just happened." Jenna said quietly. "I uhmm want to get some pizza, I know that's random, but I'm hungry, and it might lighten the mood a bit.


Everyone nodded, and grabbing coats took off to a pizza parlor, that was opened to the wee hours of the night.

Jenna had finished explaining to Paris and Rory her "dark times in life," leaving the both of them in shock. Neither of them could believe that there were people like that who would hurt Jenna.

For the rest of the night the mood was lighter, and the began talking about Christmas, and gladly welcomed Marty who came in. He smiled as he sat down.

"I have hardly seen you all semester Marty." Rory said.

"Yeah I've been keeping busy." He replied.

"We all have, Logan has been really busy I've hardly seen him this past month."

"Hey, isn't that Logan over….oh." Paris said quickly.

"Logan is here? Really?" Rory asked turning around.

"Rory…wait" Paris said, but was to late Rory saw Logan with a tall blonde, and it was obvious they weren't friends, because Logan partially had his tongue down her throat. Before Rory knew it she marched up to Logan and pushed him as hard as she could sending him to the floor.

"What the hell…Rory" Logan said. "Look I can…"

"Explain….what is there to explain. It's pretty obvious what you're doing here, How could you do this to me? This is where you've been lately. Isn't it?" Rory screamed.

"Rory I think you're over reacting, I'm just having some fun."

"Having some fun? HAVING SOME FUN?" Rory screamed, causing many people in the parlor to look up. "Having some fun is going to one of Finn's crazy party's it is not cheating on you're girlfriend with this bimbo! Or any bimbo for that matter."

"Rory…"Logan started. But before he could something came over Rory and before she knew it her fist went flying into Logan's face, the crack of his nose could be heard across the room, a second burst of anger kneed him in the stomach, know one could believe that this was Rory Gilmore. Before Rory could do any more damage to Logan, Marty grabbed her and dragged her out of the pizza parlor, screaming and yelling at Logan how he'll pay.

Once outside Rory was calmer but she was still filled with anger and hatred.

"How could he do this! How!" Rory screamed, kicking a waste basket.

"I don't know, but I need to get you somewhere before you do more damage to you self Logan, or the innocent garbage bins." Marty said smiling. "That was a great punch"

"Yeah?" Rory asked getting into Marty's car

"I could hear it break all the way across the room" Marty said, "Remind me never to piss you off."

"I'm not like that, I…." Rory started. "Can you take me to Stars Hollow? I need to talk to my mom."

Marty nodded as he drove off.


It was two in the morning as Rory walked in. "Mom!"

"uhmg" Her mom answered as Rory turned on the light. "BAH! What, Rory, it's two am!"

"I know." Rory said.

"Why is the light on…and why is your hand covered in blood? Rory what happened?"

"Oh its been an interesting night, the first half can wait but this!" Rory said "Is Logan's fault"

"That little bastard hurt you didn't he? Where's the phone, Luke has a shot gun and a shovel, I doubt anyone would miss him,…"

"Logan didn't hurt me, well psychically. I punched him."

"You punched Logan?"

"Yes. I think I broke his nose, maybe a rib too."

"Okay, why did you do that" Lorelai asked.

"I caught him with his tongue down some girl's throat. I don't know what came over me. I lost it. And well…"

"Logan's nose got in the way?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah, apparently people could hear it break from across the room."

"Okay, I'm glad you beat up Logan and all, but I need more information" Lorelai demanded. "And speak slowly, my brain doesn't process right at this tie of day.

"Wow!" Lorelai said, after Rory had finished explain everything. "I wish I could have seen you beat Logan up!"

"He deserved it." Rory said angrily.

"But what a night, first Jenna is at your door in hysterics, she's alright now though I hope?" Lorelai asked.

Rory nodded.

"And then you beat up Logan. My little girl is growing up. But I guess that mean you two are over huh?" Lorelai said

"Yeah, I don't even feel upset, just anger." Rory answered.

"Well lets get you cleaned up, and then to bed, tomorrow we'll make Luke make his special pancakes for you. You deserve it." Lorelai said smiling.

Te next day, Lorelai walked into the dinner, Luke smiled as the walked in, but quickly noticed Rory's hand, which was know a several of shades of black and blue. "What happened."

"Logan" Rory mumbled.

"That creep did that too you! Alright, I have a shot gun and a shovel, I doubt anyone would miss him" Luke started, in a protective rant.

"No, Luke, that was my idea, and Logan didn't due that to Rory, Rory punched him." Lorelai explained, the expression on Luke's face fell into more confusion.

Rory sighed, and explained the whole night again to Luke.

Luke smiled. "I wish I could have been there! Maybe we can drive down, Me and Lorelai will hold him down, you can take a few more swings at him!" Luke said laughing. "We can take turns"

"How about you start us off with special pancakes, then we'll talk about that plan." Lorelai suggested.

"You got it". Luke said smiling.
