Thanks for the reviews guys it is going to take awhile until Lorelai and Rory make up; I want Rory to break away from Lorelai a bit. Sometimes I think of this story, as 7.21 prevention I mean I know Lorelai is not the direct cause that Rory said no to Logan proposal. However, I believe that Rory was worried about letting down Lorelai which is why one of the reasons that she said no. So I want Rory to stop always thinking about what her mom is going to think. You guys might disagree on that.

By the way I tweaked the days a bit, Monday August 12 was when Rory and Logan had a fight and I wanted Rory and Logan to make up on a Thursday but instead I made it Wednesday so I went back and changed it to Chapter 11 being August 15 instead of August 14. I want this chapter to be a Friday it goes better with my story.

August. 16.2004

Rory was talking on the phone. "Thank you so much for helping me move my things. I still can't believe you borrowed Luke's truck how did you manage to do that?... Special delivery huh. So you did not tell him what it was about? ...Well its not like I do not want him to know, I am going to tell him the Readers Digest Version when I see him. I am just not going to badmouth him to Luke he is still his nephew... Look I am going to go talk to him I will try and be down in 10 minutes tops... I don't think he will do anything, but I appreciate your concern Bye."

Rory closed her cell phone and put it in her purse, everything seemed to be going to plan. Rory felt a little exhausted after spending all of yesterday and this morning packing everything she owned into the boxes, which she had brought from her dorm room at Yale. She had called Casey, and apologized for her behavior on Monday, and asked to have only one more day off work. Casey had been more than understanding. Rory was also grateful that Jess had been in his room for the past two calling everyone he knew, about his so-called accomplishments to notice what Rory was up to. Rory looked through her purse to see if all her keys, including the extra one (she had secretly obtained from Jess while he was asleep) were in her purse. Everything was all set there was just one more thing she needed to do, which she was dreading but she needed to do it. Rory had vowed after coming home from Central Park that she was not going to let that relationship control her anymore.

Rory took one final deep breath and knocked on the door to Jess's room. Jess answered the door with the phone to his ear. "Hold on I will call you back." Jess said to whoever was on the other line. After Jess had hung up the phone. He said, with one of his annoying smiles. "So decided to pick to where we let of last night." Jess said pulling her close to him, but Rory immediately pushed him away.

"Jeez, Rory why are you being such a tease I thought from yesterday that we were way passed that stage."

Jess's tone was on the verge of anger, but Rory decided not to scream at him. Instead she calmly replied: "I am not being a tease Jess, it's just that you have no right to ever touch me again. Every single thing I own is in Luke's truck downstairs; you and me are over so over."

"What?" He was shouting at the top of his longs, but Rory kept her cool.

"You heard me Jess I am walking away from this apartment, you, and this relationship forever."

Jess tried to calm down a little as if to reassure himself that Rory was not serious. "Rory come on this is crazy you know I love you and you love me."

"That is so funny Jess because I don't love you, and I don't think I was ever in love with you. I had an intense crush on you in High School, because I thought you would be an exciting literary boyfriend but you were not. And, you do not love me either you just love me as a trophy to feel good about yourself."

"Oh man your leaving me for that rich boy last week typical Princess Rory poor Jess cannot satisfy your needs, so you go to the rich punk who will but he will soon ignore you."

"Jess you are the punk who ignores me not Logan. All Logan has ever done is been there for me in the past two, which is more then you have ever done in the past two years. I am not leaving you for Logan; I am not even with Logan romantically. I am leaving you for me."

"Oh please your mind is poisoned by this Logan guy. "

"Jess you should really look up hypocrite in the dictionary."

"What the hell are you talking about? Jess screamed

"You are the one who poisoned my mind through our entire summer making me the bad guy in all our fights when you were really the one controlling me."

"Rory this is nonsense. Look things will be better in Philadelphia my book will be published and I will have more money, and I will spend more time with you. " Jess said in his typical salesman tone.

"Jess these are just a bunch of empty promises lies, that you use for me to come with you. I am not stupid and naive anymore Jess, I know things would be the same if we went to Philadelphia."

"Not true I would be more successful", Jess said sounding like a two year old.

"Jess get it through your thick head this is not about money and success. You could be a billionaire Jess and I would still leave you. Because you have no idea how to be a boyfriend or what love is. You just want someone who is okay with the crap you do and that is not me."

" Rory please your the only good thing in my life." Jess yelled

"Well you should have treated the only good thing in your life better. "

"Oh come on."

"No Jess I said what I needed to say, everything is over and done with. I will miss the friendship we had when we were sixteen, but nothing beyond that you hurt me and let me down to much. I will tell Luke that we broke up mutually after all he is still your family, and despite how much I despise you right now I am going to hurt you guys' relationship. However, if you do try to track me down and bother me again I will tell Luke and Liz everything. And, if that does not work I will go to my grandfather to help me get a restraining order. After a long pause Rory uttered the last words she would ever say to him, and what she should have said a long time ago. "Goodbye Jess"

Then Rory immediately ran out of the apartment before Jess could catch up with her. She then locked the door with Jess's key so he could not follow to her new address. Even from down the hall Rory could still hear Jess pounding on the door screaming. "Rory get back here it is not over." Rory almost felt sorry for him his controlling and delusional tendencies would never allow him a successful relationship. As Rory walked out of the building she threw her old key, and Jess's key into the dumpster outside.

As soon as got into Luke's truck, Lane had immediately asked. "So how did it go?"

Rory simply shrugged. "As expected he thinks I am a crazy gold digger, yet he refuses to let me go. "

Lane gave her a sympathetic look as she started the car. "Rory I am so sorry, but do not listen to him the guy should get his head examined."

"Its okay Lane I got my catharsis by stealing his key and then locking him out."

"Wow, Rory Gilmore I never thought you had it in you." Lane laughed.

"Hey it was me who devil egged his car back two years ago."

"That was you?" Lane asked impressed

"Yes, it was me and Lorelai when she needed catharsis after attending Sherry's baby shower." Rory laughed at the memory, yet felt sad to she missed the fun things her and her mom did.

"Well good for you guys it always bothered me how Jess's had a car after wreaking yours, instead of replacing your old one or paying you and Dean for the damages. After all you needed a car more than he did you had to compute from SH to Chilton every day."

"Well that is the same old Jess always caring about himself. I wonder what happened to my car that I left at Yale. "

"Your mom retrieved it from the impound lot. "

"Oh good to know." Rory replied flatly

"You ever think you will make up with her?"

"Not until she learns to respect my decisions. I will call her to tell her I changed addresses so you don't need to feel awkward around her. "

"Thanks I guess, I am sorry you had a rough time with Jess I always knew he was no good but wow."

"Hey it is not just his fault I was the idiot who did not see what everyone else saw."

"Rory do not blame your self sometimes we tend to get blind to these things. Second of all a girl must always fall for a bad boy why do you think so many accountants get married?''

Rory laughed. "Just sometimes I wish you could have stability and excitement in a relationship, and with Dean and Jess it was always one or the other."

"Rory you have only dated 2 guys there are a million other guys out there."

"Well, I have never been good at going out there and finding the guy, Dean and Jess both approached me first. If you know what I mean."

"I know it is the same with me with Henry and Dave. Speaking of which I heard that Dean and Lindsey split up. "

Rory was somewhat not surprised by this the last she saw Dean he and Lindsey appeared to be drifting. "Do you know what happened?"

" No, but I heard that he is now living with his parents."

"Well I hope he is happy he was a good first boyfriend, I often wished I still loved him. Its funny if he had asked to get back together with me, I might have said yes all because I wanted a relationship. How screwed up is that?"

"Would you have said yes to him now?"

"No I have done the what if with an ex it did not work. "

"Well, you learned a lesson not to make the same mistake again that's not screwed up. Screwed up am me liking Zach?"

"What?" Rory asked surprised.

"Just a trollop told me I liked him."

"Tell me about that."

As they continued to talk Rory started to feel better about letting her past go and going into the future.

Logan was sitting in front of the TV flicking through the channels his mind was not on TV right now. He kept thinking of Rory he knew she would come; he had spent all of today decorating the quest room for her. However, he did not when she would come. He hoped it would be sooner rather then later.

Suddenly the door came, and Rory was standing there surrounded by her stuff. "Does the offer still stand?" Rory asked quietly.

"You don't have to ask Ace." As Logan gave her a small hug. In his embrace Rory had finally felt like she had come home.
