AN: I'm still working as hard as I can to finish this so if it's not I'm sorry but at least I wasn't slacking off. This is more of a filler chapter some action happens but not that much. I must warn you that there will be RAPE in the next chapter. It will be non-descriptive focusing mainly on the psychological trauma. The story will continue to be rated T. Thanks for all the reviews you guys have really been bringing it home and make me feel like updating twice a day.

Chapter 10: It's Over Between Us
A week later Mia left and in that week the abuse had decreased a little since Lorelai was paying more attention to Rory.
The next Saturday Rory was finally allowed to go out with Dean for the first time in weeks. She looked at her face it didn't have noticeable bruising and looked fine.
Rory's body was still sore from all the beatings but she was getting used to not flinching at all when she was hugged.
"So are you ready for your date with Dean tonight?" Lorelai asked hoping that that Rory and Dean were finally going out again and maybe she would have her happy Rory back.
"Yeah I'm ready" Rory said trying and succeeding in sounding normal.
"Well have fun tonight" Lorelai said as there was a knock on the door.
Rory went and answered the door.
"Nice to see you" Dean said pulling her into a hug.
Rory returned the hug. 'Maybe tonight won't be so bad' she thought.
"So what are we doing tonight?" Rory asked.
"Well I was thinking of seeing Lord of the Rings" Dean said.
"Well let's go" Rory said.
They went to the movie and before they knew it they were back in Stars Hollow.
They stopped by the diner to get something to eat.
"Hey, Rory I tried reading The Fountainhead again just to see if I could do it" Jess said.
"And how did you like it?" Rory asked.
"I didn't I couldn't even make it past fifty pages" Jess said.
"Come on The Fountainhead is a classic" Rory said.
"No, The Fountainhead is a good way to save the environment by recycling paper" Jess said.
"I bet you'd like it if Hemmingway wrote it" Rory stated.
"If Hemmingway wrote that I would hate him" Jess said.
"Rory I'm not hungry anymore come on let's go" Dean said guiding her to the door.
"Unbelievable" Jess muttered.
"What's unbelievable?" Luke asked.
"What is Rory doing with a guy like Dean?" Jess asked.
"Well I guess because he's nice and treats her good" Luke said.
"He gets jealous way to easy, I'm just talking to her and he feels threatened, she shouldn't be with that guy" Jess said a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Jess you may not believe this but I know the feeling" Luke said.
"What do you mean?" Jess asked.
"Everyday someone walks into this diner and all I can ask myself why is she with the guy she's with because there is no way in hell he's good enough for her" Luke said.
"That guy is Rory's step-father right?" Jess asked.
Luke's silence gave him his answer.
"Why didn't you ever tell her?" Jess asked.
"Tell who?" Luke asked getting very defensive.
"Lorelai, because if Max is the guy then Lorelai is the girl" Jess explained.
"Get back to work" Luke said firmly meaning that the conversation was over.
"Alright but eventually you have to tell me why you never told her you loved her" Jess said.
Rory and Dean had started walking back to her home in silence until Dean broke the silence.
"I don't want you hanging around or talking to that guy" Dean said.
"Who Jess?" Rory asked.
"Yes him, I hate that guy" Dean said.
"Why do you hate him?" Rory asked.
"Because he got into a fight I tried to help him and he hit me" Dean said getting angry.
"I'm sure it was just an accident" Rory said.
"The only accident is him being here, he doesn't belong here Rory" Dean said.
"Why do you have to do this Dean?" Rory asked.
"Do what?" Dean asked.
"This you ruined the evening because you're jealous of him" Rory stated.
"I'm not jealous, I just don't like him" Dean said.
"Then why don't you want me to see him?" Rory asked.
"Because he's trouble and not the kind of person you should be talking to!" Dean yelled.
"I'm still going to see and talk to Jess" Rory said.
"You can't" Dean said.
"Then you know what Dean it's over for good this time because I don't need someone who controls my life" Rory said. 'At least I don't need three people' Rory thought sadly.
"Rory please we can talk this out" Dean said panicking.
"No Dean we can't, I'm sorry but we're over" Rory said.
Dean stood there for a second taking in what she said before walking away.
"I hope you're happy with him!" Dean shouted back at her.
Rory headed home a little confused about what she had done but she was sure that it was the right thing to do.
'Dean's just too controlling' Rory thought as she arrived home.
"How was your date?" Lorelai asked putting down her bowl of popcorn.
"Dean and I broke up" Rory said.
"Honey I'm so sorry" Lorelai said pulling Rory into a hug.
"Its fine, he was getting too jealous and controlling" Rory said.
"What do you mean?" Lorelai asked.
"He said I couldn't see or talk to Jess because he didn't like him" Rory explained.
"I'm still sorry" Lorelai said.
"Don't worry about it I don't think he ever really trusted me" Rory said a few tears in her eyes.
"Well if you need someone to talk to don't forget you can talk to me" Lorelai said.
Rory then went to her room.
Lorelai walked into her room to talk to Max.
"Rory broke up with Dean" Lorelai said.
"That's horrible" Max said faking sympathy while he was cheering on the inside.
"I know they were pretty serious" Lorelai said.
"I'm going to go and talk to her" Max said.
"Don't be too long" Lorelai replied.
Max went to Rory's room and walked right in.
"Hello Rory" Max said.
"Hey" Rory said nervously.
"I'm proud of you, you should be focusing on Harvard and not boys" Max said.
"Thanks" Rory said.
"Did he break up with you, or did you break up with him?" Max asked.
"I broke up with him" Rory said.
"Good, because you did that your mother and I have agreed, no punishment for three days" Max said.
Rory couldn't believe it. 'Three safe days' was all she could think.
"Why?" Rory asked.
"Because boyfriends are dangerous and you might have told him something now because you're a good girl you've earned three days" Max said.
"Thank you" Rory said.
"You're welcome now go to bed" Max said leaving her room.
'He said I'm a good girl and I have three safe days' Rory thought as she went to sleep.
"How was she?" Lorelai asked.
"She's doing fine and I think she will be fine" Max said lying down on the bed.
"How do you know?" Lorelai asked.
"Just call it a very good feeling" Max said as he went to sleep.
