Chapter 6:
As soon as Rory walked into her house her mom pounced on her. "So, this is a new development. I thought you were going out with Jess? But I see you in a car with a guy not even remotely resembling your boyfriend."
"Ex-boyfriend mom. Jess and I broke up. Actually, Jess broke up with me when he overheard me talking to Tristan today."
"And what exactly did he overhear that made him dump you?"
"Tristan had just told me how he felt about me. I was telling him that I wasn't with Dean anymore, but with Jess. I told Tristan that I liked him, but I liked Jess too, and that's when Jess interrupted. He blew up and said stuff like I wasn't the same person that he fell in love with."
"I can see how that would make him mad. Did he let you explain?"
"No, he just stormed off."
"You need to talk to him and try and make this better. Not tonite though. Let him cool off. Go to Luke's tomorrow, hopefull by then he will have cooled off a little."
"Mom, that's the same thing Tristan told me when we went to Starbucks."
"When did you go to Starbucks?"
"Well, after Jess left, Tristan and I just kinda stood there for a few minutes while I cried. Tristan asked me to go for coffee somewhere with him so we could talk. He left me by myself so I could gather my thoughts, which by the way was so sweet. So I joined him in his car and he drove us to Starbucks. When we got there, we just talked for what seemed like forever. Then he drove me home and you showed up and I went in the house."
"Wow, sounds like you had a busy day."
Later that night: Rory was doing her homework when the phone rang. She answered the phone with: "Hey, I Bible Boy I didn't think you'd call this soon." "I'm not Bible Boy," was the cold reply on the other end. "Jess, sorry, I didn't know it was you. About earlier today..."
"Save it. I get the idea. You're so sorry. So, what, are you going to be with that Gap ad prep boy?"
"Jess, I don't wanna fight. Just let me explain. I do care for you...."
"Then why were you with that jerk today?"
"Will you let me finish? Geesh. What I was going to say was I do care for you, just not like I used to. Tristan and I go way back, before you and I even met. After Tristan left last year I thought I would never see him again. Then I got to know you better and he kinda got pushed to the back of my head. When I saw him on yesterday at school..."
"So that's why you were acting so weird when you came in the diner. You lied to me then. How many other lies have you told me?"
"Let me finsh. When I saw him Monday at school, all these emotions started rushing back and I thought of things I hadn't thought of for over a year. I ignored him the rest of the day. Then this morning when I got to my locker, Tristan was waiting for me. He talked me into meeting him back there after school. When you walked up he had just told me how he felt about me. Oh and by the way, you were really rude. How could you say that to him? You didn't even know him. Now I'm sorry you had to find out the way you did, but this is how it's going to be. Like you said I'm not the person I was when we first met. I've changed. You've changed. We both need to move on. I know this sounds cliche' but I hope that we can still be friends. I mean who else can I debate books with? No one else has the same unique perspective on music either."
"Maybe down the road we can be friends, but right now, I just can't do it. You know you're the first girl I dated that I respected. Bye Rory."
"Bye Jess."
Rory hung up the phone and started crying. How come it didn't hurt this bad when she broke up with Dean? She really did mean it when she said she wanted to be friends with Jess. He had been her best friend before they started dating. She knew that somehow their relationship would never be the same again though. Just as she was getting up to get another tissue the phone rang. "Hey Gorgeous. How's it going? Miss me yet," Tristan laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Ahhh. Just who I wanted to talk to. Guess who called a few minutes ago?"
"It couldn't be Jess could it?"
"Yeah. We got in another fight, but this time he let me explain to him."
"What did you explain to him? Did you tell him that you've hopelessly fallen for me and there's no turning back?"
Laughing, Rory said, "No, not that, but I did tell him that I cared for you, and are with you now not him. Oh, did you know that according to Jess, you're a Gap ad Prep boy? hmmmm I kinda like that idea. I always thought those guys in the Gap ads were kinda cute. Acutally you strike me more as an Abercrombie and Fitch kinda guy ."
"Well I'm glad that I amuse you. I aim to please."
"Is that so? Well that's good to know. What'd you call for? Anything special?"
"I haven't talked to you in over an hour and I just called to say hi. It's only 6:30, you want to grab a bite to eat a catch a movie? I'll get you back home before midnight so you won't turn into a pumpkin."
"Sure let me ask my mom." Rory covered the mouth piece of the phone and yelled, "Mom, can I go out tonite? I'll be home before midnight." She heard an answer coming from upstairs that sounded something like "Sure, whatever. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"Yeah, she said that would be fine."
"I know, I heard."
"Sorry, I thought I covered the mouth piece good enough. So, what time are you going to pick me up?"
"I'm actually on the way to your house right now." Rory starts freaking out and goes, "What! No! I'm not dressed yet. Give me at least a half hour." Laughing at her Tristan replies, "I'm just kidding. I just said that to see how you would react and you know what? You're thoroughly predictable. I leave my house in about ten minutes so that will give you more than enough time to be ready. Remember, it's just dinner and a movie so don't get really dressed up. I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt if that helps. Anyway, I don't care what you wear, you'll look great no matter what you wear. Hurry up, you only have 45 minutes now." With that he hung up and Rory stared at the phone until she realized he was serious and then she started rushing around her room like a mad woman.
