Lorelai slammed her phone down when Rory's voice mail went to voice mail three times in a row.
"Why won't she answer my calls?" She thought out loud. "I can't believe that she didn't tell about this."
Lorelai sighed and pressed redial. "AH!" She yelled when Rory didn't answer once again.
Fuming, she stomped out of the house and went to Luke's.
-GG-
"Colin! She called four times!" Rory panicked.
"Don't worry. Just say that you didn't have your phone on you, and you were out for breakfast or something. Say it had to charge." Colin said, trying to help.
"I can't lie though!"
"Come on, she will probably call again, so leave it on the charger, and we are going out for breakfast."
Rory grinned. "You always know how to make me feel better!"
She quickly threw on something decent to wear out and put her phone on the charging stand, then followed by Colin, walked out of the door.
-GG-
They arrived at a little café about two blocks away from Yale. They sat at one of the tables on the sidewalk and talked, not noticing the photographers who saw them and were adding every moment to film.
They ate and paid, then began to walk away when a news reporter stepped in front of them.
"Miss Gilmore-Hayden, is this your boyfriend?" She asked, gesturing to Colin. "What is your favorite color? What is your major? Miss Gilmore-Hayden!" The reporter screeched as Rory ignored her cries and continued walking hand in hand with Colin.
"I am not going to like this part of my inheritance." Rory moaned as they neared her dorm.
"Don't worry. It will most likely die down after a little while. Soon, you won't be interesting anymore unless they catch you sniffing books." Colin said with a smirk.
"Shut up!" Rory retorted, knowing she lost that argument, and continued into her dorm to check her messages. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother did in fact call two more times.
She quickly dialed her mothers number and waited for the ringing to stop and her mothers melodious voice flow through the speaker.
"Rory." Lorelai clipped as she answered her phone.
"Hey mom, read any good newspapers lately?" Rory joked.
"Yes I have. I also spoke to your voice mail several times today."
"Sorry about that, I left my phone at the dorm while me and Colin went out for breakfast."
"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" Lorelai asked, obviously hurt.
"I'm sorry. I was in shock, then I told my friends and we were celebrating." Rory explained in a small voice.
"I understand that you have been distant lately, and we haven't really been talking, but really, why wouldn't you call me and tell me about this!"
"Mom! I'm really sorry! I was celebrating."
Lorelai snorted. "Celebrating? Celebrating what? The fact that you are jumping into the world I left for you? That you are nothing more than a trophy wife now?"
"Mom!" Rory cried, astonished her mother could be so cruel. "First of all, YOU left Grandma and Grandpa's. Second, I never experienced it. So please let me. Third, I had hoped you would be supportive and not such a bitch on this trivial matter. Bye mom." Rory hissed as she hung up the phone.
"What happened?" Colin asked as he saw Rory's side of the conversation. He watched her eyes go from joy, to sorrow, to regret, to anger.
"She is mad that I quote, unquote 'the fact I am jumping into the world she left for me.' Can you believe the nerve of that woman? I can't believe she won't support me on this! So I get a little money, BIG DEAL!"
"I know babe." Colin said as he pulled the freaking out Rory into a hug.
"I miss her. I mean , I know that I said all that stuff about being independent, but I do miss her. She was my best friend for 20 years of my life!" Rory said softly, as she relaxed in Colin's embrace. "And what did I tell you about calling me babe?" She added as an afterthought.
Colin chuckled softly, and led them over the couch where they laid down, cuddling and listening to the TV.
-GG-
After a two hour nap, Colin woke up and saw that Rory was still sleeping. He got up quietly, praying he wouldn't wake her and grabbed her cell phone. He scrolled through the phone book until he found the number he wanted. He quickly hit send, praying again he was doing the right thing.
"Luke's" A gruff voice said quickly over the hustle and bustle of what was going on his end of the phone.
"Luke Danes?" Colin asked.
"What?"
"This is Colin McCrae, Rory's boyfriend, I know that we haven't met, but I need your help." He said in his 'business' tone.

A/N: Short, I know, but I want certain things to happen at once, so I decided to cut this chapter short. Review please!
