"Can you come over?" Rory spoke into her phone, biting her nails. She hoped the answer was yes. Her mom sat across from her at the table, eating her chicken alfredo.

"Yeah, when's good for you?"

"Anytime is alright. Just text me when you're on the way." She smiled at her mom and gave her a thumbs up.

"See you soon." He hung up the call, and Rory sighed. There was lots of things that needed to be discussed.

"Just act like you don't know who he is." Rory's mom nodded, sighing as she watched her daughter run up the steps. Her mom stood behind the wall as she heard him knock. She waited a few seconds before opening the door to find a boy with long dark hair and a hat on.

"Hi, I was looking for Rory.." He trailed off, looking at her mom.

"Oh, Rory!" She yelled up the stairs. "Your friend is here!" Rory peeked down the steps to find Matt standing there and she smiled. "I'm Rory's mom, but just call me Clara, sweetie."

"Stop embarrassing me, Mom." Rory blushed. "Come in, Matt. I think we need to talk."

"Alright." He said, and they climbed the stairs to her big bedroom. "What's up?"

"I'm sorry. For everything." He looked at her confused. "I know this is coming out of nowhere."

"Why are you apologizing now? There's nothing to apologize for."

"Just.. with everything that happened with Seth. I'm sorry I kissed Nick."

"You don't have to be sorry, I don't care about that stuff anymore." He sighed, giving her a bear hug and tackling her down onto the bed.

"So can we start fresh?" She smiled, and she could feel his breaths on her face, making her relax. Rory was comfortable in his arms. She always would be, until the end. And she hoped he felt the same way too.

"I'd want nothing more. Honestly." Matt rolled on his back. "No bullshit, no cheating, and no drama."

"I wish this happened earlier. Why'd you kick me out of the house that one night?"

"I don't really know. I was so angry at you. I thought, 'Wow, Rory doesn't love me anymore.' But even if you didn't love me, I would still love you. I'll love you forever."

"Rory!" Mr. Müller yelled up the steps. "Your mother and I are going out to eat! No drinking and no sex!" Matt laughed.

"Wasn't planning on it, Dad!" Rory smiled. "God, I'm so glad I found you."

"I'm so glad I followed you back. And I'm also glad you're not that much of a hoe."

"Are you kidding? At the party I flirted with Danny, made out with Colt twice, made out with Jordan, and slept with you all in one night. I think that's very hoe-ish."

"Well, yeah. That's normal eGirl shit though." A pause came between the two.

"Hey, do you want to watch me stream? I want to so bad right now." Rory asked Matt, and he nodded. She got up and walked to her three monitor set up and opened up OBS.

"Ready to make fun of my one dollar wager skills?"

"Like you have no idea."

After Matt had gone home and her parents came back, she went downstairs and finished her alfredo. "So, Matt and I are going on a date tomorrow. At that one noodle place."

"I see you guys have made up." Her dad said and sat down next to her at the dinner table. "Ooh, my back is killing me."

"Who made up?" Rory's mom said, walking into the room and tapping on her phone with her index fingers.

"Me and Matt."

"I'm very happy to hear that. I know you love him a lot."

"Yeah," Rory said with a smile. "I do."
