    Summary

    She reads a familiar scrawl, “Adam to God after he’s spoken with Satan. Before you really read Frankenstein, you have to decide who you think is at fault in Paradise Lost, Satan or God?”

    Rory closes the book after reading the messy scrawl from the boy that broke her heart. 

    She’s never described herself as an angry person before, but she can feel a ball of rage in her core, threatening to escape. She shoves the book back into her bag, along with that feeling of white hot anger. Because she’s done. She meant what she said. She is not going to pine. 

    Rory leans her head against the window. 

    Unbelievable, she had purposefully only brought books that she knew he didn’t get his hands on. His dirty, grubby, nicotine and pen stained, lovely hands, that knew just the right way to touch her– 

    Of course he would still find a way to surprise her, even as she’s running away as far as she can from him. No matter if he did it first. She needs to run. 

    //or Rory re-reads her books through pivotal moments in the Gilmore Girls canon only to find her ex-boyfriend’s annotations are waiting for her.

    Summary

    Pure rage flowed through his veins. Apathy was a good enough disguise most of the time, but anger bubbled beneath the surface almost constantly. It left him unstable and on-edge, desperate to keep moving, or else, unleash the full, unbridled power of his wrath on someone who didn’t deserve it.

    Now, he was doing just that. Now, he was pissing his life away just because.

    Now, he had nothing but the open road and the noise.

    --

    Or, what happened when Jess Mariano left.

    Summary

    Rory does not think she has been in love with Jess Mariano for the last four years. But perhaps the love was just sitting there, dormant, waiting for her to awaken it again. Waiting for her to notice.

    Summary

    Rory stumbles out of the cramped space, brushing her hair away from her face. With a murderous scowl in place (or at least as close to one as Bambi can get), she demands, “Seriously? Seriously, your first instinct is to shove me in a closet?”

    “You went willingly,” says Jess dryly.

    unbeknownst to lorelai, the girl hiding in jess' closet isn't a half-naked girlfriend. it's just rory, fueled by too much caffeine and longing and misplaced righteous anger.
