Room 213

[auroryborealis]

Rory sat in her room, curled up in a blanket.

She had Adoration Seriously playing on her computer, and she was eating coffee ice cream with gummi bears and sprinkles.

More accurately, she was crying into coffee ice cream with gummi bears and sprinkles.

Breaking up was hard.

Confirming that it was for real? Was so much harder.

Parker knocked on Rory's door. "Rory? You alone?"

[auroryborealis]

Rory burst into fresh tears.

"Yes," she called, voice muffled by her knees. "I am very much alone, Parker."

[mparkerceo]

Uh-ohhh.

Parker walked in and shut the door behind her, then sat down on Rory's bed. "What's going on? What's wrong? Why are you mainlining coffee ice cream, oh my god, did you get rejected from Harvard?"

[auroryborealis]

"That's not until next year," Rory sniffled, looking at Parker like she was crazy. "Ana-Anakin and I broke up."

[mparkerceo]

Parker facepalmed. "Again? Or for real?" She sighed, then scooped up some ice cream onto the spoon. "Eat this, tell me, breathe."

[auroryborealis]

"For real," Rory mumbled, taking the ice cream. "Because of Obi-Wan. Because it was a mistake and Anakin's going to get kicked out and the only way to keep this from getting him in trouble is to - " another sniffle " - make it a non-issue."

Parker got up from the bed, rummaged in her mini-fridge, pulled out a bottle of water, and handed it to her. "Okay. So, you two just decided to break it off forever because of one visit?" She sighed. "You couldn't just break up until next Thursday?"

[auroryborealis]

"It seemed like the right thing to do," Rory said, swiping at her eyes. She stopped as she heard a knock and Bridge's voice.
