New Beginnings

Act 5 ch 5

"Hey" Rory runs over to Victoria as Victoria walks away from a coffee cart at Yale.

"Oh, hey" Victoria turns around to greet her sister. "You didn't tell me Tristan's uncle was Mitchum Huntzberger" Rory says.

"What?" Victoria asks. "Mitchum Huntzberger, the news paper guy. He's Tristan's uncle" Rory replies. "He's his mother's sister's husband" Victoria explains.

"That's an uncle" Rory points out.

"They barely even have a relationship, hell Logan and Mitchum barely have a relationship" Victoria tells her. "Still how could you have never thought to mention this, have you met him?" Rory asks.

"No" Victoria answers. "How haven't you met him, you've been to family stuff" Rory reminds her. "Yeah, that doesn't mean Mitchum has" Victoria replies.

"What?" Rory asks confused.

"I told you, Tristan's only related to Mitchum's wife. Any stuff for her side of the family only her and their kids go to, he's always working" Victoria explains. "Still you could've introduced me" Rory insists.

"How could I introduce you to someone I've never met?" Victoria asks. "You're my sister, you know I want to be a reporter. You're supposed to help me" Rory replies. "And if I could I would" Victoria nods.

"Then you should have" Rory insists.

"Bye" Victoria scoffs and turns around to walk away. "What do you mean, bye?" Rory grabs her arm stopping her.

"You clearly haven't listened to a word I've said and honestly I don't feel like dealing with your entitlement right now" Victoria replies. "What's that supposed to mean?" Rory asks offended. "We're in public Rory, don't make me do this here" Victoria tells her.

"I can't believe how selfish you're being" Rory shakes her head before walking away.

Victoria and Tristan are asleep in bed Saturday morning when Victoria's phone rings.

"Hello?" she answers the phone in a sleepy voice keeping her eyes closed. "Are you still asleep?" Lorelai asks from the other side of the call.

"I'm trying to be" Victoria replies. "Where were you last night? The grandparents stood us up too so Rory and I ended up eating pizza in my mother's living room" Lorelai asks her. "Grandma has some dinner for a children's hospital" Victoria tells her.

"She told you about that and not us?" Lorelai asks.

"Well I was already calling to let her know I wasn't going" Victoria explains. "Why weren't you going?" Lorelai asks confused.

"Didn't want to fight in front of grandma" Victoria answers. "Fight? About what?" Lorelai asks even more confused now. "Rory didn't tell you?" Victoria finally opens her eyes.

"Tell me what?" Lorelai asks feeling out of the loop.

"Who are you talking too?" Tristan asks waking up and wrapping his arms around Victoria's waist, still laying down behind her. "My mom" she turns her head to tell him.

"We got in a fight in front of the coffee cart, now the barista thinks we're both crazy" Victoria says to her mother. "What happened?" Lorelai asks worried. "She got mad at me for not introducing her to Tristan's uncle that I never even met and when I explained that I never met him she kept complaining saying how I'm her sister and it's my job to help her, it all ended with me calling her entitled and her calling me selfish" Victoria explains.

"Oh honey" Lorelai sighs sadly on the other line.

"Can I call you later? I'm really tired" Victoria asks not wanting to talk about this right now. "Yeah, sure" Lorelai nods despite Victoria not being able to see her.
