Who do you want to be with? A simple question for most, but for her it was a hard question. One hand you have the safe boy who you liked from the first time you saw him. The other hand was the boy who hit on you the first time he talked to you. She looked between them and just ran to the bus and got on.
She got home and her mom was at work so it was the prefect time to make her list and chose between the two boys. She drew a line down the middle. One side was Deans name, the other side had Tristans name.
Dean
Pros
First boyfriend
First kiss
Mom likes him
Lives in the same town
Works and doesn't live off parents
Nice to everyone except Tristan
Cons
Broke up with me over really nothing
Never liked me spending time with people from school
She sat at her desk thinking about if there was anything else to add to the list. She looked over at the side with Tristans name on it
Tristan
Pros
Second kiss
Said he was sorry
Went on a date with Paris because I told him too
Kissed me and then apologized when he thought he hurt me
Cons
Grandparents like him
Cocky
Kissing girls in front of my locker
Told Paris that I asked him to take her out
Told Paris I was going to the concert with him before even asking me

Got caught looking at my ear in class embarrassing me
Stole my books today and got Dean mad at me
Dated almost everyone girl from Chilton
Hangs out with people who he shouldn't
Wanted me to kiss him on my birthday, and then wanted to kiss me
Mom would hate him
She looked over her list and was about to write more when her mom yelled that she was home. She walked out and saw the huge smile on her moms face. Lorelai told her all about the flowers and what Max had done. When she asked how school was Rory left out the Dean and Tristan part.
She woke up and looked over her list again. To must people it would be a no brainier whom she should pick. She wrote two different letters one saying to meet her at her house at five, the other saying six. She put the names of the boys and went to deliver them.
She drove over to Dean's house and put his letter into the mailbox. She was filling scared somewhat about this decision that she had just made. She looked at the other letter that had Tristans name written on it.
She looked around the hallway and saw it was almost empty. She just hoped that he was coming to school today. She slipped the letter into his locker and quickly walked away before anyone could see her.
Tristan was in a mad mood today. After yesterday and what went down between him and Rory just sat the mood. If it wasn't for him not wanting to be held back for missing to much school he would be home between some blonds legs, but he is here knowing he would see her. He opened his locker and saw a letter with his name on it. He tore open the letter and read it. He looked around for Rory, but couldn't see her anywhere.
She looked at herself in the mirror for what seemed liked the hundredth time since she changed. Trying not to second-guess herself, she stopped thinking about it. She looked over at the clock and saw it was time to start. The person coming over first would be told the truth about how they couldn't be together. The late one was whom she chose to be with. The knock on the door told her it was time. She walked over and closed her eyes as she opened the door.
"You wanted to see me?" She nodded and moved so he could walk into the house. "What do you want?"
"I… I just want to be friends." He looked at her and she was looking at him.
"It's because of him?"
"Yes it is. I never wanted to hurt you. I'm sorry."
"You're sorry. That is just want I wanted to here you're sorry. I love you Rory." She closed her eyes. She didn't want to hurt either one of them.
"I'm sorry." He shook his head at her.
"Why him?"
"I don't know I just want to be with him." He walked pasted her and rested his hand on the doorknob. He opened the door and started to walk out. "I am truly sorry."
"Me too."
She looked over at the clock and saw he was late coming here. Maybe something came up and he couldn't make it. Should she call him to see? A knock on the door broke her from her mind. She walked over and opened the door for the second time tonight.
"You wanted to see me."
"Come in please." He walked inside and she closed the door. "Have a seat." He sat down on the couch and she sat down facing him. Pulling her legs under her body she looked at him.
"Are you going to tell me why I'm here for?"
"I want to be your girlfriend." The words were out of her mouth before the brain could stop them.
"You want to date me?" She bite her lip and nodded. He turned to face her. His hand went to her cheek and he smiled at her. His lips were on hers before her mind could register anything. He pulled away as her eyes were still closed. "Say it again."
"I want to be your girlfriend Tristan DuGrey." They were both smiling as he kissed her again. He pulled away running his thumb over her bottom lip
"Why me?"
"Made a list between you and Dean."
"I won?" She shook her head no.
"Lost by a mile." He looked confused as she smiled at him.
"Then why me and not Bean?"
"It was time for a change. I wanted a relationship that both of us will have to work on making it right. I want to get mad at you, I want you to get mad at me over stupid things."
"I might hurt you Rory. I can't change over night."
"If I wanted to easy way out you would've been here at earlier." She was the one who started this kiss. Everything felt right to here at this moment. She just hoped that it would stay like this.
Just something that I came up with at Five in the morning. Might be four chapters showing peoples reatcion to Rory and Tristan being togther. Title is from Breaking Benjamin song You from the Album Phobia. Hope you like it.
