Chapter 2: Identities Revealed
Recap: He saw movement on his left and saw a car come towards him at full speed. Holy shit, thought Tristan and was about to gun it when the car came into contact with his. His head went into the window and the last thing he remembered was a girl screaming.
Rory woke up with a pounding headache. She opened her eyes to be greeted with bright lights. She blinked a couple times to adjust to the lighting. She looked around her surroundings to realize she was in a private room in a hospital. Leave it to her Grandmother to make sure she got accommodated well, even when she was a state away.
A nurse came in and said, "Ah, you woke up. How are you feeling?"
"My head hurts," Rory stated.
"How's the arm? Any pain?" said the nurse with a sympathetic smile.
Rory felt the cast on her right arm before she saw it. There was a purple cast going all the way up her arm, ending below the shoulder.
"It doesn't hurt but it feels weird," said Rory.
"It feels weird? Can you explain it to me?"
"Well, I've never had a cast go all the way up to my shoulder before. I guess I just have to get used to it," Rory explained.
"Oh! Ha, okay. I just want to check your vitals first. Oh! Silly me, I'm sorry, I'm Holly Pearson and I'm your nurse," said Holly.
"Nice to meet you," Rory said.
She wondered how the other person was doing. This whole mess is my fault since I wasn't even paying attention. How could I have been so blind, thought Rory? Maybe, thought Rory, I could ask Holly.
Before Holly left, Rory asked, "Um, do you know how the other person is? You know, from the accident? Can you tell me who it is?"
"I'm not entitled to give out any names but I can tell you how he is. He only sustained a concussion and needed five stitches on his forehead. So you shouldn't be worried about Tristan's in juries. Crap! You did not hear that from me," Holly said and hurried out the room.
Tristan, why does that name sound so familiar? Tristan, Tristan. Oh my god! Tristan DuGrey from high school! Bible boy… maybe it's a different Tristan, thought Rory and got comfortable.
In Seven rooms over to the right
Tristan was thinking about the accident. About how he could've avoided the accident. If only he had looked both ways. Wait, if I remember correctly the light was green. So really it wasn't my fault, thought Tristan. He was going to pound the other guy. It wasn't his fault and the guy had ruined his new car. Wait, the other guy could be dead, realized Tristan. It's not even a guy, it's a girl or women because the scream sounded like a girls. Tristan stop talking!
All of a sudden Holly, the nurse, bursts in the room.
"I'm so sorry. I told the other person in the accident who you were. But I only said your first name so maybe the person doesn't know you," Holly babbled.
"You know what you can do? Since you told her, you can tell me who the her is," Tristan said.
Holly looked flustered and said, "I- her name is Lorelei Gilmore."
"Wait, did you say Gilmore? Holy crap, I hit Rory's mother!" Tristan yelled.
"Um, Lorelei doesn't look like a mother. Lorelei is only twenty-three years old," Holly said a bit confused.
Tristan paled and said, "I have to go see Rory.
He got up but Holly pushed him back against the pillows sternly. Even though Holly looks small she is really strong. Holly has dirty blonde hair that looks really shiny and silky. Her eyes sparkle blue and you can tell that she is happy. Her eyes always deceived her because you can always tell how she is feeling.
"I don't think so buddy. You still have a bit of a concussion. If you want to go visit your friend, wait another hour. Your pupils are still a bit dilated," Holly explained.
"I'll be back in an hour. Rest," Holly commanded Tristan.
Tristan waited for a couple minutes and slowly creped to the door. He stuck his head out and didn't see Holly. He went left since there were more rooms then the right side. Some doors were open and some doors were closed. So he hoped to God that her door was open.
He only passed three doors when Holly yelled, "DuGrey get back in your room! Do I need reinforcements?"
Tristan rolled his eyes and said, "No."
He walked back to his room but waited by the door until the coast was clear. He would wait until Holly left the floor. It couldn't be that long, right, thought Tristan? It was only ten minutes later when Holly left the floor and he made his move.
He peered in doors hoping to see Rory. She was on this unit because Holly was also Rory's nurse. It was then when he found Rory's room. She was propped up watching TV and her right arm had a cast on it. Tristan thought Rory looked good.
Rory's P.O.V
Rory felt someone's eyes on her and she was getting freaked out. She also felt pissed off that someone was looking at her, at her worst. When she turned though, she didn't expect to see what she saw.
She saw Tristan DuGrey with stitches over his left eyebrow. Other then that he looked really good. He also seemed different but a good different. Rory was actually speechless for once.
"Hey Mary," Tristan said and broke the ice.
Rory scowled and said, "Bible boy. I see you haven't changed much."
Tristan smirked and said, "At least you didn't call me the spawn of Satan."
Rory blushed and asked, "How do you even know about that?"
"One word: Paris. She was one of the few that wrote to me while I was in the army."
Rory's mother decided to walk in and look Tristan over. "Hello blonde Abercrombie model. And how do you know my daughter?"
"I'm Tristan DuGrey, Lorelei. Remember, I went to Chilton with Rory?"
"Bible boy?! My how you have grown. Wait, why are you at the hospital and here in Boston for that matter?"
"I flew in this morning from Minnesota. It was me that Rory hit actually. It seems that fate wanted us reunited again," Tristan said and smiled.
"Oh, it seems like the next couple of weeks are going to be interesting," said Lorelei smiling wickedly.
