The next morning the Gilmore's were gathered around the table having breakfast when they caught the headlines in the New York Times.
Gilmore Lie Exposed!
Yesterday we sat down with Lorelai Leigh Hayden and got the inside scoop regarding her relationship with the Gilmore family. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lorelai, Logan and her father Christopher Hayden. Here is what i found out. Lorelai Leigh was born to Lorelai Victoria Gilmore and Christopher Straub Hayden. When she was 16 years old Lorelai Victoria ran away to a small town called Stars Hallow and refused to let Christopher be involved in raising his daughter and as a result he was in an out of her life for almost 18 years. According to Lorelai Leigh, who ive been informed goes by Rory, her mother ran away from the society life she was accustomed to inorder to raise her. As she was growing up Lorelai always told Rory to follow her dreams and be who she wanted to be; but as she got older Rory started to realize that Lorelai was raising her to essentially be her mini me. When Rory started at Chilton she had a chance to fit in but Lorelai did all she could to dissuade her. Upon graduation from Chilton Rory's now ex boyfriend turned best friend, Tristan DuGrey, tried to get Rory to move to North Carolina with him so they both got away from society. Im told that when Rory had turned down his offer Lorelai stopped talking to her daughter because she was unhappy that Rory had decided to go to Yale and follow in her families legacy. Going to Yale is what started the rift between her and her mother, but apparently started to mend the relationship between Rory and the Haydens. Christopher had this to say about his daughter.
"Rory going to Yale and becoming the woman she is today has become a blessing in my life. While my parents and i missed the first eighteen years of her life we couldn't be happier of the person she is today. Logan Huntzberger is exactly who my daughter needs in her life. They balance each other out and every time i look at them i can see the love they have for each-other."
The sincerity in Christopher Hayden's voice was undeniable. And just by looking at these two her father is right the love they share is undeniable. After that comment made by Christopher i asked Rory what made the rift worse between her and her mother. She only had this to say.
"My mother never wanted me to be apart of the world she left. Since i was young she made it clear that those who came from society were not to be trusted and that being a member of society would keep me from my dreams of becoming a writer. When i attended Yale, i joined the paper and met Logan and his well now our friends. Immediately i fell into Society life. I was attending events planned by the DAR, having lunch at the club with my grandparents, and jetting off on random trips with the gang. My mom didn't like the fact i fit so perfectly into the world she left behind. When my graduation rolled around Logan asked me to marry him and i had said not yet. He said now or never and walked away. My mom was a little to happy about that. Two days later i found out i was pregnant and instead of turning to my mom i went to Shira Huntzberger."
To say this reporter was shocked by that revelation is an understatement. When asked why Rory simply stated that Shira and Mitchum Huntzberger were a direct line to Logan, and that she had no plans of keeping the father away from his child. I highly admire and respect Rory Hayden. I had one last question for all three of our visitors and that was what they think the Gilmore's reaction will be to the article. they all had their own answers but the answer of Logan Huntzberger sums it all up completely.
"Frankly it doesn't matter what they think. At this point the only family we need are those that support us. Christopher is right. we balance each other out. She keeps me grounded when i need it and i help her with her explore her sense of adventure. To me, at least, the Gilmores are not important in our lives. and if they cant except the fact that Rory and i will be together then we don't need them."
To this reporter it looks like the Gilmore family has some things to answer for. Everyone here at the New York Times wishes Logan, Rory and their families the best and cant wait to see their little bundle of joy.
The room was completely silent. No one knew quite what to say or how to react. They couldn't believe that Rory would actually put out an article that painted them in a horrible light. One thing that never crossed anyone's mind was how this would affect their buisness'. Back in Stars Hallow the calls started coming in with people canceling their reservations. No one wants to stay at an inn run by someone who can turn her back on her child.
"that ungrateful child! Lorelai if you had stayed here and raised her with us we never would have been embarrassed like this!"
"You know what mother i did what i thought was best at the time. i was 16 years old and wanted to do something for myself. i hated society i still do! i never wanted this life for Rory." The argument continued within the Gilmore house. Across the country however things were calm and enjoyable.
Rory had a copy of the Chronicle and Times sitting before her on the breakfast bar. The articles in both papers were the same except for some of the wording. She couldn't help the satisfied smirk that settled on her face at the fact that her mother and grandparents could potentially be ruined because they tried to control her life. She was her own person and this interview had proved that. Rory finally stood up for herself and it felt great.
"Ace? what are you doing up? come back to bed." Logan came up behind her and wrapped an arm around her.
"I was just looking over the articles. There is no way the Gilmore's can escape this. Mom might not suffer but the elder Gilmore's prided themselves on being family first. When clients of grandpa read this article they may very well look for other insurance companies. i should feel bad but I dont. Logan does that make me a horrible person?"
"No ace it doesn't. they did this to themselves. you clarified things said by them and they now reap the consequences. now lets go back to bed." Rory allowed Logan to lead her back to bed where they fell asleep for a few more hours.
