Seeing You Again

Rory sat in her apartment holding a chain around her neck thinking of the day she got it.

*Flashback*

knock knock

"Rory, will you get that?"

"Yeah, Im going" she opened the door

"is there a Ms. Rory Gilmore?" the man asked

"thats me"

"Okay, I have a message for you" he handed her a box and turned around to leave.. Rory shut the door and opened the box, a letter fell out

Dear Rory,

I know how mad at me you must be, but please understand I had no choice. I have no regrets in telling you how I feel. I would gladly go through all this hearache again if I could hold you or even see you one more time. I love you so much Rory. Please dont forget that. Happy Birthday, I have sent you something to prove I will be back for it. I love you with all my heart. Love, Tristan

Rory looked in the box and found a gold high school ring. On one side it had Tristan written on it and on the other had Rory. Inside the band was engraved "I'll love her always"

*End flashback*

She remembered that day well. She had been expecting something from him as he always did at her birthday and christmas. He had sent her roses the first christmas, and a huge teddy bear with a harvard sweatshirt on it for her birthday. She didnt want the ring on her hand, she was still very mad at him, so she put it on a gold chain around her neck.

"Hey babe, Ive got to go home" Lorelai came in

"Okay mom, thanks for the help"

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just thinking"

"about him?"

"Yeah, tristan"

"oh Hon, you'll be okay, I promise" she hugged her

"I know, I love you mom"

"Love you too babe" she shut the door behind her

*okay..might as well do that study thing right?* she headed to the library

LIBRARY

*oh my god, shes here.. my rory is here* he though

*okay..what now is she still mad? does she still love me? his eyes darted to her hands, her ring wasnt on it..shes mad, she probably threw it away!! God shes so beautiful.. sitting there reading*

Just then, she got up and started to go home, Tristan decided to follow her to see where she lives

He saw her to her door and saw her look around

"is someone following me?" she whispered to herself. He instinctivly grabbed for the ring

*shes wearing my ring* tristans heart did flips as she walked in her door

Tristan walked upstairs as it turned out, he lived in the same building upstaris.

*shes so beautiful!! shes grown up so much! does she have a boyfriend? did she date after me?* tristans thoughts wore him to sleep listening to "Im gonna love you" It was loud

"god! shut that up!" rory screamed. when it didnt stop, she ran up the stairs to the room with the loud music and banged on the door. A grumpy voice came and the door swung open.

"what is it? tristan asked rubbing his eyes

"T... Tristan?" rory stammered

"Rory?" his eyes popped open

"Yeah, sorry.. the music was loud"

"Its okay, i'll turn it off, come on in" she walked in

"Thanks"

"so... umm how are you?

"Im alright" she said awkwardly

"Good"

"and you?

"Im good."

"youre lieing"

"so are you"

"Look tristan, Ive been mad at you for a long time. I dont know how to stop all those things in my head"

"I know... Im sorry Rory"

"I know you are, but it doesnt make what happened go away"

"I know.. I never should have left"

"I never should have fallen in love with you"

"Do you really feel that way?"

"It would have been easier than what I felt like after you left" she said quietly, but still angrily

"do you love someone else?" Rory looked away

"You do"

"I didnt say that"

"so you dont?"

" I never said that either"

"then waht?"

"No.. I dont love anyone"

"so you dont love me anymore"

"Tris.. Ive been mad at you for so long, I dont KNOW how I feel." Tristan nodded his head "sorry"

"its okay.. lets just... be friends"

Tristans heart broke at "be friends"

"I guess thats better than nothing"

"Okay.. I better go" she turned to leave

"Wait.. Rory"

"yeah?"

"Can I..."

"can you what?"

"Can I kiss you?" Rory just stared at him

"can we settle for a kiss on the cheek for now?"

"Yeah.." he walked over to her and slowly bent his head towards her cheek.. He started to kiss her cheek slowly, she whimpered and he moved to her neck

"Okay Tristan, we need to stop"

"okay" he pulled pack "hey rory... when you first fell in love with me, how did you know for sure?"

"This kiss" she said simply

"what do you mean?"

"When you first kissed me, I felt the chill, down my spine.. The sparks, and I just knew"

"oh"

"bye" she walked out the door

THE NEXT DAY

Rory and Tristan had spent the whole day together

"olay.. okay..so luke and your mom.. and paris and jess?"

"yep thats it"

"but Paris and Jess?"

" I know, but they are good together, he proposed about a month ago, they are moving here this week for paris to go to harvard, and jess is going to the state university"

"Thats cool"

"So.. did you date jess?"

"no.. I could never fall for him, so I introduced him to paris"

"and they fell inlove?"

"Yeah"

"Thats sweet" he said in a girly voice batting his eyelashes, rory hit him

"okay.. what now?"

"umm actually, I have to get going:

"what? why?"

"Umm I have plans"

"common rory, we're best friends.. tell me"

"Tris.. you dont want to know"

"Just tell me"
