Update from last chapter:

"Dad, what did Vice President Forester have on you that could cause so much damage? Why can't you just tell me."

"Look, honey, I will tell you when the time is right."

"I hate that phrase!" yelled Rory, throwing the phone against a wall. Watching it fall in numerous little pieces, Rory cringed. It wasn't fair. She came here to escape him, to escape it all. Instead, she ended up being forced closer to him than before.

Stupid politics.

Chapter 7: When Love Hurts

"Hey, Rory, I'm back with the goods!" Stephanie's voice sounded through the dorm room. Looking in the mirror to make sure that her face didn't show any hint of tears, Rory walked out of her room and smiled.

"Wonderful. And what do we have here?" she said, looking at the grocery bags stacked by on, under and by the coffee table.

"I told the guys to get one of every type of junk food they could find in the store!"

"Brilliant!" smiled Rory. She needed this right now.

"Tristan paid, of course. I'll pay him back later…" Stephanie said with a wink.

"Ugh. Keep the details to yourself please!"

"So, the boys are coming soon with the movies. Shall we look and see what food they got?"

"We shall!" Rory squealed and grabbed the first bag, plopping herself on the couch.

"Do we need bowls?" asked Stephanie.

"Nah. We'll just eat from the bags. It's much more fun that way!"

"Hello, dolls! The exotic man who haunts your dreams is here!" Finn's voice was heard from the doorway. In his hands he was carrying the three movies he and Rory decided on.

"Oh, and RJ told me to get Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because apparently it's your…" he never got to finish that sentence because by that time he was struggling to keep Rory, who had jumped him, from falling. The girl was hugging him so tightly that Finn soon had to ask for air.

"Sweetheart, I never knew you wanted me so badly!" exclaimed Finn with a smirk on his face.

But Rory didn't seem to hear what was being sad. She walked off into the kitchen and turned on the coffee machine, Joey, all while singing "Oompa, loompa, doompa-dee-doo, I have a perfect puzzle for you. Oompa loompa, doompa-dee-dee, if you're wise you'll listen to me."

"Oh, no. You gave her Willy Wonka?" cried RJ walking into the room.

"You told me to, man!"

"But you don't show it to her before it's time to watch it! Now she'll be singing that through all the movies!"

"What's going on here?" asked Logan, walking in too and looking at Rory's prancing form.

"Oompa, loompa, doompa-dee… Rory broke off as she noticed Logan there. Then she turned around on her heel and ran into her room, shutting the door behind her and locking it. There, she collapsed on her bed and recommenced crying.

"Um…" Logan stood there frozen on the spot. "What did I do?"

"Dammit, Rory! It's nothing you did, Logan, don't worry. Can you guys stay here? I'll go talk to her." Sighed RJ. "Rory?" he whispered knocking on her door.

"I'm not unlocking the door! Just leave me alone!" came Rory's scream from inside.

"Fine," said RJ. "Be back in a few, guys."

With that, he walked out of the room and outside. He walked around the building and came to Rory's window. Just as he had assumed, Rory was crying in a pile of blankets on her bed.

"Did you talk to him?"

"Yeah. RJ, why is this happening to me? It's not fair! Had this happened a week ago, it wouldn't hurt as much… But now…"

"What makes it so different now? What happened these past few days, Ror?" RJ asked, even though he feared that he already knew the answer.

"I think I got a crush. A very strong one," Rory whispered.

AN: yeah yeah uber short, and after a very long time. Wow, I feel horrible! With the finals and all the college visits I have completely forgotten about this story! So so sorry! I guess that comes with going into your senior year of highschool…

I promise I will try to update really soon. And with a longer chapter, too.
