Hey I thought before I added anything more to my other Trory story I needed to make a new one, this one takes place around Christmas time for the purposes of my story.
It takes place after the party when Rory and Tristan kissed and it's about a week later, at the end of the day at school. Please R&R I hope you all like it.
The students in Mr. Medina's class that day were on edge, everyone aching for the last bell to ring so they could go home and take a short break from school. Mr. Medina sensing that his usually attentive class was no longer listening to him.
"OK guys the bell is about to ring so for today ONLY you can all pack up for the last minute or so."
There is a flurry of excitement as everyone starts jamming books into their bags, all in a hurry, -- except for Tristan, but no one notices.
The bell rings and the halls are buzzing with excitement, people talking and laughing and making plans for the vacation, Tristan is silent at his locker.
Rory looks at him confused, *no comments or anything* she thinks "Hey Tristan, I hope you have a good vacation"
Tristan looks over "Thanks, but I doubt it" He shuts his locker and walks away.
Rory shudders at the coldness Tristan was letting off "Hey princess don't worry it was nothing you did, Tristan always gets like this at Christmas time" Paris says in a superior tone.
"OK, bye Paris, have a good vacation" Rory smiles sincerely *nothing could screw up my mood not even that fact that me and Dean aren't-* She stops her thought *Why did I? No forget it, don't think about him, you don't need him all you need is your mom Lane and some good food. That's it.* Rory goes to the bus smiling but inside, she is crying.
"Have a good vacation" Tristan whispers from his car as he watches Rory walk to the bus with a fake smile on her face. "I know you will" Tristan starts the car and heads home at first then says to himself "DuGrey why you going home? To what an empty house, nah come on live it up go out have some fun! Yea come on" He goes in the opposite direction from his house.
********************
"Lane!" Rory yells when she gets off the bus excitedly
"Rory!" Lane throws her arms around Rory as though they hadn't seen each other this morning.
"Let's go to Luke's my mom should be there now, and I want to find out what we're doing for Christmas"
"OK lets go" The two of them head over to Luke's laughing and joking like a couple of little girls.
"Hey Rory, Hi Lane, Rory your mom is at your table already" Luke points
"Thanks Luke!"
"Hi Mom"
"Hi Loralai"
"So what are we doing for Christmas?"
"Yea I hope I am included in some of your plans"
"Hey, hey , hey girls calm down, sit down have some coffee, wait on second thought no coffee for you two your wired enough"
They sit down and wait for Loralai to start talking.
"Well first of all tonight Rory and I have to go to my mom's house for our Friday dinner, tomorrow the three of us can do some last minute shopping, Sunday in the morning we are having the big breakfast like we always do, and for the rest of Sunday we can do whatever"
"Oh yea my mom said that she is bringing over muffins or something for the breakfast"
Lane tells Loralai
"What time are we going to Grandma's tonight?"
"A little earlier then usual tonight Hartford is supposed to have a storm and my mom doesn't want us to drive in it." Loralai makes a face
"OK, then me and Lane are going to go home and I am going to get dressed for tonight and pick out my shopping clothes then pick out my Christmas day clothes then we are going to Lane's house to do the same." Rory says jumping out of her chair.
"OK I'll pick you up at Lane's at 5:30 sweetie" Loralai calls after them.
"Bye!"
********************
After they picked out all of their clothes and Rory got dressed they sit back on Lane's bed, relaxing."
"You done shopping?" Lane asks
"Almost, you?"
"Just about"
There is a silence.
"Rory?"
"Yea?"
"Are you OK?"
"Of course"
"No I mean are you OK?"
Rory rolls over and face Lane "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because of you and….."
"Oh. Yea actually I am OK. I really am"
"Good, I'm glad for you." A car honks
"There's my mom see you tomorrow"
"Bye Rory"
********************
"Man my mom was right it is a lot worse out here" Loralai squints through the windshield.
They drive in silence they are almost there. "Hey mom be careful there is a sign about ice over there." Rory points ahead.
"Thanks Rory" Loralai spots a car smashed into a tree and a man being taken out of it "Whoa someone didn't see the sign"
"MOM STOP!" Rory shouts
Loralai skids to a stop "What is it? What's wrong"
"That car I'd know it anywhere, that's Tristan, come on" Rory gets out of the car.
"Miss do you know him?" A paramedic asks
"Yes his name is Tristan DuGrey"
"Know a number or a way to reach his folks."
Tristan moans and mumbles "No number, no way"
"Is he OK?" Rory asks
"It's hard to tell out here, we have to get him to the hospital, want to come it would be good for someone he knows to be there."
Rory looks over to her mom "Come on Rory we'll follow in the jeep."
The ambulance starts up and Loralai follows it to the hospital.
******************
Rory and Loralai are sitting outside Tristan's room when the doctor comes out. "Are you the friends of Mr. DuGrey?"
"Yes" Rory answers
"Any luck contacting family?"
"None"
"OK well Tristan will be just fine, he has some bumps and bruises and a fractured arm and he tore some ligaments in his knee, which will heal over time, he hit the tree hard. Ice is really a dangerous thing." The doctor shakes his head.
"Can I see him?" Rory asks
"Yea sure go ahead in"
"Rory I'm going to go call my mom so she doesn't call out the FBI to go and look for us OK? Then I'm going to find some coffee"
"Sure mom"
Rory opens the door and goes inside, there are machines everywhere, all doing something different, all connected to Tristan in some way. All Rory hears in the humming and beeping of the machines, and- and Tristan breathing softly his chest rising and falling with every breath.
"Why does he even look good after a car wreck?" Rory wonders in astonishment
"It's just a gift I guess" Tristan says softly from his bed.
Rory jumps "You scared me."
"That was the idea"
Rory got angry all of a sudden "Why weren't you more careful you could of gotten yourself killed."
Tristan shrugs "No one would miss me"
"Rory is taken back by the comment "What are you talking about?"
"My parents are oversees right now doing business they won't even know I got into an accident."
"What about brothers or sisters?"
"I have an older brother and older sister. My sister lives in California, and is too busy to talk to her family, my brother travels the world and pops up with a letter or a phone call once in a while."
"Whoa, I'm really sorry"
"Don't be, it's my life"
"Yea but-"
Changing the subject Tristan asks "So why are you here?"
Rory looks at her hands trying to decide on an answer.
A/N: I'm putting the rest in for chapter two, to break up the story a little bit, just read on lol.
