They deleted my story! I don't know why, I didn't do any of the things they said I did. So here it is again. Enjoy.

"Breakaway"
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Rory Gilmore was the good girl, from the small town no one had ever heard of. When she was younger, about eight or nine, she would sit watching the rain drip down her window and tried to figure out how to make her dad come home, and make her mom fall in love with him. She thought that was all she needed to be happy.
Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
Almost everyone in town was protective of Rory. When your mom had you at sixteen and fled from her parents to give you a happy life instead of a stuffy posh life, it kind of pulled at the heartstrings of the townspeople. They all loved her, but it didn't feel like there were many people who could understand her. She always thought she was destined for bigger and better things than Stars Hollow High.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Then she got the letter. "Dear Ms. Gilmore, We are happy to inform you that we have a vacancy at Chilton Preparatory starting immediately." She was in! The path to Harvard had just become a little nit clearer. She knew there were things she would miss, simple things. Although there were risks involved in changing schools, people dealt with them everyday. Rory knew it would all be worth it in the end.
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway
When your life's ambition is to become Christiane Amanpour, you had to be willing to make a few changes in life. Rory would do almost anything to get to Harvard and become a foreign correspondent, and thanks to her super-supportive mom she was on her way.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakawayWhen she arrived at Chilton she met HIM. He was the one destined to change her life. Tristan was gorgeous, he was a god at Chilton and he knew it. Even so, when he had his pick of every girl in the school, he chose Rory. There were wild party girls everywhere you looked, dozens of intellectuals, beauty queens, but he didn't want them.
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
Life was full of opportunity. If there was one thing Rory knew, it was this; no matter where you went in the world there was always something waiting for you. The people in Stars Hollow were full of tales of their own adventures, and Rory wanted to get out there and experience these things.
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
