Summary: AU: Rory Hayden is the President's daughter, but, getting sick of it, she escapes. Can she hide from her parents, lie to her friends, lie to herself about her feelings for a certain blond boy, and avoid running into a certain vicepresident's son?
Runaway Daughter
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" her father's voice appeared on the other line.
"Hi, dad."
"What's wrong sweetheart? Is everything alright?"
"Um… yeah… I was just… I just wanted to know when you and mom are coming home tonight."
"Well, I don't know, honey. This is a really important convention… Look, Mr. Rodschild is here. I have to go. Don't wait up tonight!"
Her father's voice was quickly replaced by the dial tone.
Unbelievable.
Un-fucking-believable!
It was her sixteenth birthday, and her parents were at some convention yet again. That, and they completely have no idea that it's today. Wow.
Rory Hayden might be called lucky by some kids her age. But really, she was so damn unlucky! Her parents, Christopher Hayden and Lorelai Gilmore, got married at 20. At 21, Lorelai had their first child – Robert Joseph Hayden, RJ to closest friends. At 24, three years later, they had a daughter, whom they named Lorelai Leigh Hayden, Rory for short. Upon turning 35, Christopher ran for President. With his already-enormous influence in the country, and his attractive persona, Christopher easily won. Now, five years later, Rory wasn't Christopher Hayden's daughter. She was the president's daughter.
RJ escaped the hell by making his parents send him away to a boarding school in Hartford, Connecticut. Life in D.C. was boring without him.
There was one more unique thing about Rory's life. There were absolutely no pictures of her as the President's daughter. Nobody knew her like that. She went by the name of Rory Gilmore. This kept the publicity away.
To be completely honest, Rory was sick of her life. She was sick of her parents never being there for her. She was sick of not being allowed to date, and not being allowed to be friends with whomever she wanted.
Tonight was her birthday, and she was sitting here all by herself, watching "The Notebook."
Suddenly, an idea came to her. If RJ had pulled it off, why couldn't she? Running upstairs to her bedroom, Rory grabbed the largest two suitcases, and started to pack.
It was only two hours later that Rory was finally done. Dragging her bags downstairs, she called her driver. Paying him generously not to talk to anyone about this, Rory rushed off to the airport. There, she got the first available ticket to Hartford, Connecticut.
Let the chase begin, she thought. Could she keep her location a secret from her parents? Could she keep who she is a secret from her future classmates? Could she find RJ? And could she possibly find love, now that her parents will no longer be restraining her?
AN: this is just the beginning. I'll update more in a day or two if you guys are interested
