Classes passed on Monday in a haze. Rory could not focus on any of them, instead she spent her time thinking about picking up her stuff at Logan's that afternoon.
Rory was surprised to see Luke's pickup truck when she went to the Yale parking lot. Inside it sat Jess, he rolled down the window and called to her, "Rory, I took Luke's pickup truck so we can take all your stuff."
"Jess! Does Luke know?" Rory asked, slightly worried.
"What do you think?" Jess said rolling his eyes, "My car is shot, remember?"
"But…Luke will be mad, he'll probably need-"
"Just shut up and get in the car, ok? Anyway, the longer you spend out here reprimanding me, the longer Luke won't have his damn truck," Jess said impatiently.
Rory let out a huff of annoyance, and got into the passenger seat of the truck. Jess started up the car, and neither one of them spoke for a while.
When the two of them arrived at Logan's apartment, both started to get out of the car when Rory stopped Jess, "Jess, look, please don't say anything that could make Logan mad. Let's just get my stuff and go, I really don't want a repeat of the fight you and Logan had before."
"Rory, do you think I'm stupid? Don't worry, I won't say anything to piss the asshole off," Jess said bitterly.
"Jess, I'm with you, okay. I'm with you all the way. He's a complete ass, but I don't want to make this whole situation any more complicated than it already is," Rory said, choosing her words carefully, not wanting to anger or frustrate Jess. He was doing more than his share taking Luke's truck and coming with her anyway.
Rory unlocked the door and let herself in, Jess followed behind her. Suddenly, Logan appeared from the bedroom in a wrinkled suit. He looked like he had just woken up. Rory was surprised that he was there, he was rarely in the apartment before midnight.
"Hey, Rory," Logan said calmly, as though nothing had happened.
Rory ignored him. Jess walked into a room at random, "Hey!" Logan called after Jess.
"Yeah," Jess said aggressively, sticking his head out from one of the rooms.
"Can you get our of our apartment please?" Logan asked, responding in an equally aggressive tone.
"Excuse me?" Jess said, "Our apartment?"
"Yes, didn't you know? I live here with Rory. Now can you please leave," Logan said snottily.
"Ignore him, Jess. Let's just get the stuff," Rory said cutting into the conversation she was sure would turn into an argument.
Logan turned to Rory, his demeanor drastically changing, "Rory, you left a washcloth in the bottom of the shower again, and you know the maid doesn't come until Tuesday."
"Logan? What the hell? I don't live here anymore remember…" Rory said.
"What are you talking about?" Logan said before putting his arms lazily on Rory's shoulders and kissing her. For a moment, Rory was stunned. Than she pulled away from him and wiped her mouth on the sleeve of her sweater.
"Logan, get away from me, and let me get my stuff!" Rory shouted.
When Logan didn't move, Rory tried to shove him away from her. Due to Rory's smaller build to Logan's larger one, he was not moved at all.
Jess advanced so that he was standing right next to Logan, "Move," he said forcefully.
When Logan didn't move Rory shouted, "Logan! Get off me or I am going to call the police and have you arrested for harassment," Logan rolled his eyes at this. "I am not kidding! Get off me!"
Jess warningly picked up an adjacent phone from a table. He didn't begin dialing but ostentatiously made sure that Logan could see it. Logan faced Jess and said, "arrest me for harassment, and I'll have you arrested for intrusion."
"Logan, I have a key to this place. You just said I lived here," Rory said frustrated.
"Ogbury vs. Jamison. It was claimed by the accusing party, that the convicted had broke in and entered because of his ownership of the key," Logan began.
"LOGAN, THIS IS NOT A COURT CASE! Just let me in the freaking apartment so I can take my stuff and leave," Rory yelled at him.
"Rory, can you please stop yelling. I have a massive hangover from a party last night. Which, by the way, I went to alone. So, keep it down," Logan said, sounding irritated.
Rory let out a derisive snort of laughter, "You went to a party alone? As if. You were probably there the whole time, boozing with Rebecca, or whoever she is, and about five other girls clinging to your arms."
"Rory, let's just go. If he doesn't want us in now, we can come back later with an officer. Let's go," Jess said, glaring at Logan.
Logan took a step closer to Jess and glared at him. Rory walked towards the door, however, Logan had positioned himself in such a way that he was blocking the exit. At this point, Jess had had enough. Being taller than Logan, he was able to grab Logan by the front of his shirt and brutally pull him away from the door and shoved him into a wall.
"Jess!" Rory yelled at him.
"Rory, let's go," when Rory didn't move Jess stormed out of the apartment alone. Not wanting him to leave without her, she quickly followed.
When Rory got to the apartment parking lot, she saw that Jess had left. Frustrated and angry Rory pulled out her cell phone and called a taxi.

Although she felt guilty for admitting it to herself, Lorelai was actually glad that her daughter had broken up with Logan. It gave her more time to see and spend time with her daughter. Lorelai needed to tell someone about her successful date with Michael. She had a feeling that this would be the relationship that she wouldn't screw up. This would be the one that she would prove herself to her daughter, parents, and friends that she was able to keep a relationship.
Finally, the door opened and closed and Lorelai was surprised to see Rory. She began to excitedly to tell Rory about her date. But when she saw the angry look on her Rory's face she chose not to.
"Hey Rory, what's up?" Lorelai said, acting as if she didn't notice anything.
"I'm going upstairs," Rory said grumpily.
"You know, that's not a good look for you. You could replace Oscar the grouch in…." Lorelai's voice trailed off at the murderous look on Rory's face. "I take it that it did not go well when you tried to take your stuff from Logan's apartment," Lorelai guessed accurately.
"No, it definitely didn't," Rory said.
"Well, do you want to talk about it?" Lorelai asked.
"No," Rory said shortly. She was about to turn around when she saw the hurt look on her mother's face. Rory knew that her mother wanted to be a part of her life, so she modified what she said. "I just don't really feel like talking now. I'm going to take a shower, and I'll tell you about it when I come back down," Rory said.
"Okay, I'll order pizza," Lorelai said.
"Thanks mom."
