A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Love them! Anyways, I know Jess was a little OOC last chapter so I attempted to explain that this chapter. And sorry it's so long. I just can't help it when I get in a roll. Hope you enjoy this chapter and let me know what you think.

The ride home in the jeep was completely silent, except for Rory's sobs. Lorelai knew Rory was hurt and needed her space. Plus, Lorelai felt guilty for her fight with Rory, who was not only her only daughter but her best friend too. Lorelai pulled into the drive way and watched Rory storm into her bedroom, still sobbing. Lorelai agreed to herself to let Rory have the night to wallow and would talk with her in the morning.

The next morning, Lorelai knocked gently on Rory's door. When she didn't answer, Lorelai opened the door to let herself in anyway. She walked to the bed and sat on the foot of the bed. She lightly pushed Rory to wake her up.

"Rory? Honey?"

"Huh?"

"Wake up. We need to talk."

Rory sat up in her bed. She was groggy and irritable. She hated being woken up early in the morning. "What could we possibly need to talk about? I thought we took care of all that last night," Rory said with attitude.

"What happened last night? What happened between you and Jess?" Lorelai asked. She looked into Rory's eyes and could see the pain and hurt. She also noticed the circles and puffiness around Rory's eyes from crying all night.

"Jess broke up with me! He broke up with because of you and grandma!" Rory yelled at her mom. She then slipped back under the covers, burrowed her head into the pillow, and starting crying again.

"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry."

Rory bolted up from her covers. "Really? Cause I thought you wanted this. You said yourself that you didn't want me seeing him." After she was finished she slipped back under the covers

"Rory, this is not what I mean. I don't want to see you hurt like this."

"Well, I am and it's your fault," Rory mumbled from under the covers.

Lorelai, who was deeply upset, left Rory's room and headed for her jeep. She needed coffee, she needed food, and mostly she needed Luke.

"Coffee! Luke! Coffee!" Lorelai yelled.

"I heard you the first time," Luke replied.

"Just making sure. So where's Jess?" Lorelai asked. She was ready to kick his punk ass for breaking her daughter's heart.

"Upstairs. We've been fighting lately and he's not talking to me. Why?" Luke asked a little concerned. He handed her the coffee and waited for an explanation.

"He didn't tell you? Jess broke up with Rory last night. Now, Rory won't come out of her bedroom or even talk to me and it's all his fault. Now, I'm going to kick his ass!" Lorelai said heading to the staircase.

Luke grabbed her arm before she reached the first step. "Wait. Is Rory ok?"

"Are you listening to me? No, she's not. She's miserable, completely heartbroken. And the moment that I see Jess, I'm going to kick his ass!" Lorelai yelled.

"No, I'll deal with it."

"Really?"

"Yea. You need anything else?"

"Break-up food would be nice," Lorelai said with a small smile on her face. Luke always cheered her up.

"What the hell is break-up food?"

"Chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, pie…um ice cream but I'll pick that up at Doosee's…" Lorelai said with 'duh' tone.

"One order of break-up food coming up," Luke said. Lorelai gave him a thank you smile. Once the food was done, Lorelai left, bought the ice cream, and headed home.

Once Lorelai returned home, she found Rory sitting in her pajamas watching tv on the couch. Lorelai went to the kitchen and spread the food on the table. Lorelai knew she was treading on slippery ground but knew she had to try to reach out to Rory. She couldn't let their relationship

"Hey kiddo, I have something for you in the kitchen," Lorelai called to Rory.

"What?" Rory asked as she slowly walked to the kitchen. Once she reached it, her spirits were lifted a little. "Break-up food!" Rory exclaimed as she sat in a chair and began eating.

Meanwhile at the diner…

After Lorelai left the diner, Luke told Caesar to take over for him and he went upstairs to talk with Jess.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Luke yelled at Jess over his blaring music. Luke walked over to the radio, turned it off, and repeated himself, "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

"What are talking about?" Jess asked annoyed.

"Rory, you broke up with her. You broke her heart Jess."

"Ah, jeez. Don't give me this crap…"

"No, crap is you breaking up with Rory and the way you treated her. She doesn't deserve this…" Luke yelled at Jess before being interrupted.

"Look, I did everyone a favor! Lorelai doesn't want to see us together, Emily doesn't want us together, no one wants us together! In a couple of months, she's going to college and is gong to leave us all behind!"

"I thought she was going to Yale."

"Rory can go to any school she wants! She got into Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and every other school she applied to! She could just as easily go to any one of those schools!"

"You go to one of those schools too Jess," Luke said with disappointment.

"Not this again…"

"Jess, you're failing all of your classes. You can do so much better than this."

"And what if I can't!"

"Liz sent you to me to straighten your life and that's what I'm going to do!

"No she didn't! She sent me here because she was tired of having a son! I was getting in her way and her next boyfriends hated me! That's why she sent you to me!"

"Well, I'm going to straighten your life anyway! As long as you're living in my house, you're going to pull your grades up and pass your grade!"

"And if I don't?" Jess yelled back.

"Then you're not welcome here anymore!"

"You would throw me out just like that!"

"Jess, you don't respect anyone around here: me, Lorelai, Rory…"

"So, this is about me breaking up Rory? That's our business, not yours!"

"Yes it is! Rory is like a daughter to me and I'm not going to let you hurt her! And no, this is about you not the break-up!"

"Fine!" Jess yelled as he grabbed his coat and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving! I know when I'm not welcome anymore! I'll be back later to get my things!" Jess yelled and slammed the door shut behind him.

Rory finished her break-up food and instantly felt better. She realized all the trouble Lorelai was going through to make her feel better and to patch up their relationship.

"You feeling better?" Lorelai asked Rory.

"A little." There was a moment of arwkard silence before Rory continued. "Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or yell at you or anything else. I was just upset."

"I know sweetie. I didn't mean anything I said either. It was a heat of the moment thing," Lorelai said. She opened her arms to gesture for a hug. Rory jumped out of her seat and ran into her mom's arms. "I love you kiddo."

"I love you too mom."

"So, I was thinking that we could have a movie night. Of course there will be all our favorites: Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, Wizard of Oz, Pippi Longstocking, just to name a few," Lorelai explained. She was going to continue telling Rory their plans but was interrupted by knocking on their door.

Lorelai opened the door and was surprised to see Jess standing at the door. "What do you want?" Lorelai asked angrily.

"Is Rory here?"

"No. And if she was, she wouldn't want to talk to you."

"I wanted to tell her that I'm leaving. I'm moving from Stars Hollow. Can you tell her I said goodbye?"

"Yea, I'll make sure she gets the message."

"Bye," Jess said and walked away. Lorelai slammed the door shut and went back to the kitchen.

"Who was that?" Rory asked.

"Just Babbette. You know checking up on the town gossip."

"Oh, so how about those movies?"
