Wonderwall
Authors note: Loreilei and Christopher actually get along, and Rory is slightly OOC, but only slightly.
Background: When Christopher got Lorelei pregnant, what neither of them knew, was that one month earlier Christopher had gotten another girl pregnant, but this girl hadn't told Christopher yet. This girl (named Janice) finally did talk to Chris she told him that she wasn't going to keep the baby; she was going to have an abortion. Lorelei and Christopher talked about this (after getting over the fact that he'd gotten her pregnant) and they decided they if they could convince her to keep the baby until birth, than they would take little him/her. Janice agreed. But Lorelei and Christopher's parents forbid it, so once both babies were born, they ran away. Four years later, Chris's parents past away in a car accident. Christopher and Lorelei inherited all of their money and estates. They rented out the houses, and invested the money, and Christopher started his own Record Store, which turned into a chain of stores, and now they live in a small middle-class neighborhood just outside Hartford, but they don't live like they are as rich as they really are, and they don't spoil the kids too much. They let them make their own choices, and make sure that their kids don't feel suffocated like they did. Kevin knows that Lorelei isn't his real mom but he loves her like a mother, and he calls her mom, he's never met his real mother. Rory and Kevin are pretty close, and they usually get along great. They both are juniors at Chilton.
Oh and one more thing, my chapter titles have NOTHING to do with the story, lame I know, but I can never think of something really good, so I use quotes from a movie, all the chapter titles in this story will be from the same movie, see if you can figure out the movie as we go along, it'll be fun!... i promise
Chapter One: "I think your heart grows back bigger ya know, once you get the shit beat out of you"
"Kevin! Where'd you put my keys?" Rory yelled as she rushed down the stairs trying to put her shoes on and walk at the same time.
"On the kitchen counter!" Her older brother hollered back from somewhere upstairs
Rory, after much trouble, finally stopped walking, put on her shoes, than continued into the kitchen.
"There not there!"
"Ug! I don't know, Rory, didn't you have them last?"
"No you took my car last night, cuz I borrowed your truck to help Lane move. And I never got them back from you."
"Fine! Fine! I'll look for them! Geez"
"Thank you Brother Dear!"
Rory walked over to the marble countertop and grabbed the coffee pot and emptied its contents into two paper coffee cups with the lids, and walked into the living room, and stood at the bottom of the staircase.
"Found the Keys!" Kevin yelled as he came down the stairs
"Alrighty, lets go we're gonna be late, oh wait I forgot, can you drive I wanted to study for that history test on the way there"
"Sigh, yeah sure, you know if you would've mentioned this five minutes ago we'd be out the door by now"
"Sorry, now let's go"
"Okay but if I'm driving than we're taking the truck"
"Fine let roll!"
Rory and Kevin Hayden jumped into Kevin's black fully loaded F-150 and backed down the long drive away, away from the large blue house, through the small suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of Hartford, and hit the road toward Chilton. Rory pulled out a textbook, notes, and index cards, and began to pour over her notes
"Hey favorite sister…you wanna quiz me on that stuff?"
"yeah sure, It'll help me remember. You did remember to study though right?"
"hey I am studying now right? Your gonna quiz me, now shoot"
"Kevin!"
"What? Oh, you can scold me later, we're studying here!"
"Sigh , okay"
Not too long later they pulled into that Chilton parking lot. Both Haydens pulled down their mirrors and adjusted their appearance. Kevin perfected his "messy cool" spikes, while Rory poked and prodded her curly/wavy hair into place.
Kevin had his Dad's skin tone and build, but then he had electrifying bright green eyes, and dark hair similar to his sister's; both of which he could only assume came from his mother. Somehow, people still told them they looked alike, but really it's just that their mannerisms were so similar they reminded everyone of each other.
Rory's hair ended just below the shoulder, with soft bangs and face fraying layers, and today she wore it wild curly/wavy. (think season 6/7 hair) She had on eyeliner, a little navy eye shadow and pink, and mascara, along with a touch of lip gloss. She was wearing her skirt ( hemmed a little shorter than in the show) with gray knee socks, and a tight gray sweater vest over her shirt, and black maryjanes. (kind of like Madeline and Louise dress)
As soon as Rory opened the truck door to step out she heard
"Good Morning Mary, your looking lovely as always"
Rory responded by simply glaring, so Tristan turned his attention to Kevin.
"Hey man, hows it goin? You guys are gonna be at my party this weekend right?
"of course man, you know I'd never miss one of your parties, I don't know about Rory though"
"Um, I don't think so" Rory responded
"Oh come on" Kevin urged "you need to get outta the house and have some fun, your books will be there when you get back"
"I don't know, I'll think about it"
"yeah Mary, listen to your brother, and I'll make sure you have fun" he said as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"shove it DuGrey," She snapped at him.
And with that the three of them walked into the building
Rory and Kevin pulled up to Tristan's huge mansion, and stepped out of Rory's black VW Bug. Rory was dressed in a black and white pin-striped jump-style dress that went to just above the knee, a low cut white blouse underneath, with black bow in her hair and black ankle boots to complete the look. Her make up was simple but stunning, and her hair was straight and sleek. Kevin was dressed in baggy light wash jeans, and a red long sleeve button down shirt.
As they entered the gigantic mansion the roaring music assaulted their ears, and the mass scene of moshing teenagers greeted their eyes. Kevin strutted fearlessly into the crowd, and Rory followed timidly in his wake. The brother and sister pair soon found their friends in a smaller room off to the side. They all hung out, talking, laughing, and even dancing a few times, than after about an hour and a half, Tristan came striding into the room.
"Hey everyone I hope your all enjoying yourselves" Asked Tristan
"Ya definitely man, happy birthday" responded Kevin, everyone else gave similar responses, except for Rory, who stayed quiet.
"Hey Rory, how about a dance?" Tristan asked smirking
"I don't think so Tristan, asks for the offer though" she responded with a with an obviously fake smile plastered on her face.
"Come on Mary, for the birthday boy" he pleaded as he grabbed her hand.
"Fine, one dance" she relented as he pulled her up from her seat and toward the dance floor. Just as they reached the dance floor a slow song came on.
"Well it looks like it's my lucky day Mary" Tristan said as he pulled her close
"Only cuz it's your birthday" Rory said as she looked away from him. Truth be told she did have a thing for Tristan, but she would never admit that to anyone, she was not his kind of girl. He might act like he liked her but she knew she was just another girl to him. She couldn't even figure out what she liked about him.
As she turned her attention back to her dancing partner, she was greeted by his piercing blue eyes. And all of sudden, she couldn't tear her eyes from his, and she didn't want to.
The song continued, but Rory didn't even know what song was playing, and she didn't care. As she started into his icy blue eyes, his face came closer, and closer, and before she knew what was going on she felt his lips on hers. He pulled her tightly toward him, and she moved her hands behind head and pulled him deeper into the kiss. Than all at once the realization of what she was doing hit her like a brick. She quickly broke the kiss and fled the dance floor. She wasn't quite sure where was running to. But she ended up in a secluded piano room. A few minutes later Tristan entered the room.
"Tristan I can't talk to you right now" She mumbled out as she turned around to face the wall.
"Am I really that bad of a kisser?" he joked softly, trying to lighten the mood.
The only response was silence.
"Come on, Mary, you know your curious," he moved slowly over to the piano beach she was seated at, and slide up behind her "I know you think about me, you want to know what it be like to be with me" he whispered pompously, with a cocky smile on his face."
"I think I am gonna be sick" she shot forcefully, standing up with such speed, he jumped slightly.
"Do you really think your playboy pickup lines are gonna work on me? I'm not one of your slutty bimbos Tristan," she spat her words out like vemon "if you want an easy lay to make your birthday special, go find your whore-of-an-exgirlfriend". She turned on her heel and walked briskly toward the door, but the tone of his voice stop her.
"Rory, wait!...please?". She stopped walking, but she didn't turn around. "I know that your not that kind of girl, if you were, you wouldn't be nearly as amazing as you are………" there was a pause "butt what do you want me to say? That you stupefy me? That I am in complete awe of you? That I just want to be around you? That I am actracted to you in a way I've never felt before, because I when I look at you, I don't just see your gorgeous body, but your brilliant mind, sharp wit, and pure nature? That I like you for everything you are, and everything you aren't? Because that's all true! But do you know how hard it is to say those things to you!? To anyone?! I'm absolutely terrified of you Rory! Of what your next words can do to me now that I've opened my big mouth!" He had gotten louder and louder as his rant went on, and near the end his words were booming through the room. As soon as his last words left his mouth, he made a beeline out the door, too terrified of her response to stay.
During his rant, Rory had turned to face him again, and then stood stunned. By the time she got her bearings he was out the door.
