Ring. Ring. Rory's cell phone was ringing. She just got at Yale yesterday and was rooming with Steph. "Hello" she answered tiredly. She looked at the clock it read 7:30 she groaned.

"Rory it's your grandmother." Emily Gilmore's voice rang through the phone.

"Good morning grandma." Rory said as she was getting out of bed. She walked into their kitchen and started a pot of coffee.

"Well I have arranged you a date tonight his name is Marcus Fernamuse he will be at the Yale pub tonight at 7 for your date." Emily said. Rory had just taken a sip of her coffee. She started chocking on it. Colin came out of Steph's room and looked at Rory with a look that said 'omg are you ok?' she nodded. He took a seat beside her. "Hello…Rory?" Emily said.

"Grandma it's really nice of you but I don't want to go on a date with him tonight." Rory tried to say calmly. Colin heard this and gave her a pat on the back and a small smile. Their parents and grandparents were always trying to set them up with other heirs. Rory had just broken up with Dean after he didn't like the fact that Rory hung out with Logan, Colin and Finn so much. Rory said that they were her friends. Rory just though back to that day.

It was a Friday night and she was having a movie night with the guys when there was a knock on Rory's door. She opened it. "Dean. What are you doing here?" The guys all sat up when they heard this. None of them like dean they all thought that Rory was too good for him. Dean grabbed Rory's face and tried to kiss her passionately. She pushed him off and backed up. The guys were still sitting on the coach ready to interfere if things got out of control.

"Rory what the heck?" Dean asked sounding mad.

"We need to talk." Rory said quietly. "Could you excuse us guys?" she said walking to her bedroom. "Dean come in here." Dean walked into Rory's room. She was sitting on the bed. He turned around and locked the door. "What was that out there?" Rory asked Dean starting to sound mad.

"I didn't want them getting any ideas, I wanted them to know that you're mine." He said smiling brightly at the last part.

"What, am I some kind of property?" Rory asked. "Dean this isn't working I think it's time we break up." She said quietly. Dean turned furious. He ran over to the bed and started hitting her and punching her. Rory hoped more then anything the guys would come in…but then she remembered that Dean locked her door. He picked up and threw her against the wall. Rory used all the strength she had to yell, "HELP." The last thing she remembered was Logan, Colin and Finn breaking through the door and beating Dean up. Finn left the fight because Logan and Colin were more then capable of finishing Dean off. Finn always had a soft spot for Rory. He went over to the corner to see a bloody and beaten Rory.

"It'll be alright love, it'll be alright." Then she remembered waking up in the hospital with Lorelei, Christopher, Logan, Colin and Finn all sitting beside her bed, she was so thankful for friends like them. She remembered going back to her dorm and seeing a piece of paper saying "I'll Be Back For You." It was from Dean. Rory had the guys spend the night at her place for a few weeks until she was ok.

"LORALEI LEIGH GILMORE-HAYDEN" Emily was screaming into the phone. Rory snapped out of her trance.

"Sorry grandma what?" Rory said trying to sound sincere.

"You will meet Mr. Fernamuse tonight and you will have a great time. This is final." Rory sighed.

"Yes grandma."

"Alright have fun tonight Rory." Emily said. Rory hung up. She sighed.
