AN: Alright just as a warning the chapter does contain references of rape. Don't worry it's not descriptive. There will also be much more Rory angst in the next chapter. Thanks for all the reviews.

Chapter 11: Rory's First Time
The next three days for Rory were the best she had in a long time. She didn't even care that she had broken up with Dean as long as she was safe.
Lorelai was very confused about Rory's behavior. She thought that Rory was just trying to put on a happy face and was really hurting inside over the break up like she had last time.
After the three days were up Rory was trying to be herself again but that was hard since the threat of abuse still hung over her head.
Something odd happened during the months leading up to Christmas. Max had almost stopped abusing Rory the only way that he was still abusing her was a little slap or kick once or twice a day.
'Maybe he's finally stopping' Rory thought as school let out for Christmas break.
"So what do you want to do on your Christmas break?" Lorelai asked when she got home.
"Well we have to watch The Godfather Part 3" Rory said.
"Why?" Lorelai asked.
"Because Coppola actually defends Sofia on the commentary" Rory said.
Lorelai just nodded even though Rory had seemed better over the last couple of months something still wasn't right with her.
"So what are you working on?" Rory asked breaking the silence.
"I'm working on the Bracebridge dinner" Lorelai said.
"And what is that?" Rory asked.
"It's a historical dinner, the entire inn is booked" Lorelai said.
"So when is it?" Rory asked.
"In three days and I'll be busy all night" Lorelai said.
"I hope it goes well" Rory said.
"I hope so too" Lorelai said.
Three days later Lorelai was at the inn getting ready for the dinner while Rory stopped off at Luke's to get something to eat.
"What will you have?" Luke asked.
"A cheeseburger and fries" Rory said.
"So where's your mom tonight?" Luke said casually.
"She's at the inn, a big group is having a historical dinner there tonight" Rory said.
"That's good" Luke said as he went back to make the food.
"So have you tried reading any Hemingway?" Jess asked coming up to her.
"No I haven't" Rory said.
"So you mean I attempt to read The Fountainhead and you don't at least try to read The Old Man and the Sea or The Sun Also Rises" Jess said.
"I couldn't when I tried to read them before I fell asleep and I never fall asleep to a good book" Rory said.
"At least try for me" Jess said.
"Alright but if I fall asleep I won't try again" Rory said.
"Good then I won't try to read The Fountainhead again" Jess said as Luke brought out her food.
Rory ate her food quickly and just as she was about to finish something happened.
"Hey Rory isn't that your step-father across the street?" Jess asked looking out the window.
Rory turned around and indeed Max was standing in the square.
"I better get going, he's probably looking for me" Rory said paying and leaving.
Rory went outside to meet Max.
"What were you doing talking to him?" Max asked sounding angry at her.
"Talking to who?" Rory asked.
"Luke's nephew" Max said.
"Why?" Rory asked.
Max took a look around the square. "We'll talk about it when we get home" Max said.
Rory felt like she was on a death march the entire way home. She hadn't seen Max this angry in months.
Eventually they did get home and Rory was scared out of her mind.
"You will stop flirting with that boy, both your mother and I don't like him" Max said calmly.
"But he's really nice and we were just talking" Rory said weakly.
"I know flirting when I see it" Max said.
"I wasn't…" Rory started before she was slapped across the face.
"You will not get pregnant like your mother" Max said.
"I wasn't thinking about having sex with him" Rory said.
"I know what you think about" Max said eying her over.
'He's going to rape me' Rory thought and she tried to run to her room.
Suddenly Max went after Rory and she fell and hit her head on a table and then she blacked out.
The next thing Rory knew she was in the shower, naked, with the water running.
'What happened?' Rory asked herself as she tried to stand but realized that she was too sore.
Just then all the memories came rushing back to her.
'Oh God, he really did rape me' Rory thought as she started to cry.
Rory took a quick look at her surroundings and noticed that he put some cloths in the bathroom with her.
'Why am I in here?" Rory thought. "Because he wanted to destroy the evidence" she said out loud.
Rory sat there and cried for the next ten minutes before turning the water off and getting dressed.
Rory headed straight for her room hoping that she wouldn't run into Max.
Right as Rory was about to enter her room she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see Max staring right at her.
"That was fun, just remember you don't talk to Jess this doesn't happen" Max said smiling at Rory.
All Rory could do was nod and try not to cry.
"Good, now go to sleep and I called your mother she thought that my form of punishment was a good idea since we've been going easy on you lately" Max said.
Rory just nodded and went into her room and locked the door.
Once in her room Rory started to cry. 'Why would they do this to me?' she asked herself.
Rory had always imagined that her first time would be special. Maybe she wouldn't wait for marriage but it would definitely be with somebody she loved.
'Now I'm dirty, what man would want me?' Rory asked herself as she cried herself to sleep.
Overall the dinner had been a success for Lorelai. Jackson had been great and all the guests were pleased. Since her job was done for the night she was heading home but something was still bothering Lorelai.
Lorelai couldn't tell what it was but something just seemed off tonight. It wasn't the dinner but something else just seemed wrong.
When Lorelai got home she was amazed at how quiet it was. The time was only eleven so Rory should have still been up.
When Lorelai walked in she found Max waiting for her.
"Where's Rory?" Lorelai asked.
"She's sleeping, Paris called and just stressed Rory so she took some Advil and went to sleep" Max said.
"I'm just going to check in on her" Lorelai said, she tried to enter Rory's room but was surprised to find her door locked.
"Why's her door locked?" Lorelai asked.
"She didn't want to be woken up" Max said.
"She's never locked her door before" Lorelai said.
"It's nothing she just wants some privacy" Max said.
"I guess" Lorelai mumbled.
"Now come on lets go to bed" Max said as he took Lorelai's hand and led her into the bedroom for the night.
