Chapter 13

Rory's POV

I couldn't believe that my best friend from Chilton turned out to be my actual big brother. However, don't ask me how he remembered to pack his X-box and all his games before we had left the DuGrey house. But he had. There wasn't a T.V. in his room yet so he hooked it up to the T.V. in my room. Or was attempting to anyway. And of course he won't let me help. Men and their toys you think they would learn to look at the directions every once and a while.

Now he was cursing like crazy because it wouldn't work. I couldn't help but laugh.

Tristan: oh and what do you find so funny Miss. Gilmore? (annoyed)

Rory/Leigh: you Mr. Hayden. (smiling)

Tristan scrunched his nose at the sound of me calling him Mr. Hayden.

Tristan: do you have to call me that, I've met dad. He's a total Jack. Mr. Gilmore is just fine. But don't in anyway attach Hayden to that. Just the thought is making me nauseous.

Rory/Leigh: I'll make a deal with you T. Oh and none of us call Christopher "dad," just to let you know. (serious)

Tristan: (distracted) Okay. What's the deal?

Okay now he was just getting annoying.

Rory/Leigh: I won't call you Friggin' Mr. Hayden anymore if you let me hook up the damn X-box!!!! (desperate)

Tristan: (threw the wires down) Deal. These fucking wires are pissing me off anyway.

Rory/Leigh: (sighing in relief) thank god.-- Oh by the way you have to give your bike a paint job. (nonchalantly)

Tristan: Why? (confused)

Rory/Leigh: (matter of factly) Because your Bike is black. Me, Alley, and Chris just got brand new silver ducatis . Grandma and Grandpa say that it's like the Gilmore color for more than one sibling or something like that. I don't know I wasn't really paying attention to that conversation.

Tristan: Okay. At least I know where I get my oddness from. You guys have the weirdest traditions.

Rory/Leigh: (smirking) you already knew that Tristan. Done. Know have fun and play Madden 4000 or what ever the hell it is.

Tristan: Madden 2000 Rory. We haven't reached the year 4000 yet. But good try you were only off by 2000 years. (sarcastically)

I was about to answer when all the sudden my bedroom window shattered. Both Tristan and I jumped up to see what happen. But he made sure that I was behind him the entire time, and he pulled out his cell phone and handed it to me.

Tristan: (whispering) Call the cops and then call mom. But stay right behind me so that nothing can happen to you okay.

I just nodded into his back and dialed the phone numbers.

Mom, Dad, Jess, Chris, Alley, and the police showed up just about the same exact time. Tristan had kept me practically glued to his back while he checked out the window and the brick that had caused my window to shatter. But every time he went to go touch something I slapped his hand away so that when the cops looked at the window and the brick they wouldn't have a problem with what ever it was they had to do.

After everyone arrived Tristan and I were shuffled off to another room, with the rest of my family.

Cop: (to Tristan) What's your name?

Luke, Chris/Brian, and Alley: (at the same time) Tristan DuGrey.

Lorelai, Rory/Leigh, and Tristan: (simultaneously and at the same time as the others) Tristan Gilmore.

To say that Jess, Dad, Brian, and Alley were confused were an understatement.

Lorelai: I never got the chance to tell you all, with all the commotion that was going on at the dinner and then the phone call. (smiling)

Everyone but Tristan and I were looking at mom expectantly waiting for her to answer their unasked question of, "What the fuck have we missed and what the hell are you three talking about?" It was all rather funny actually.

Lorelai: (Smiling tearfully) Tristan is my baby, or one of them at least. All my babies are in my house with me right now and none of them hate me. I can say right now that there have been worst days. (smiling sarcastically)

Tristan and I smiled as mom motioned to my bedroom. And the information processed in everyone else's minds and we saw the realization dawn on everyone.---- However, the moment was short lived when I caught the movement of something outside the kitchen window. When I moved my head slightly to say that I was surprised to see the bastard at my house while the cops were here was an understatement. All I know is that I wasn't about to loose my brother I just got back. But I got Tristan down just as the bullet shattered that glass.

The bullet must have grazed my shoulder because all the sudden it hurt like mother fucking hell.

Rory/Leigh: (wincing in pain) what were you saying about having worse days.

I went to get up and screamed in pain.

Rory/Leigh: (pissed) mother fuck!!!! That bastard fucking hit me!!! Oh that's it, Tristan hand me your cell phone.

Mean while, while I'm laying there and my family is checking to see how bad I'm hurt the cops are moving to get out to the back yard to find him. I decided to dial my grandparents. When they heard what happen they immediately got on the phone with their lawyers and all that other stuff rich grandparents are good for.

By now an ambulance had arrived to take me to the hospital.

Rory/Leigh: (pissed; to the EMT's) Hold on one god damn minute!! I know I'm hit believe me I can feel it. But there is no way in hell that a couple of minutes is going to make a goddamn difference!! So if you insist on working on my shoulder, you can do it while I sit here and make a fucking phone call to some one you really don't want to meet!!

I didn't even wait for the EMT to answer I just flipped Tristan's cell open and dialed Brandon's call number. I could feel Brian's eyes boring down into my back. But by now I didn't care so I just flipped him the bird over my shoulder.

Rory/Leigh: (pissed) Hi Brandon. Look, I know your coming here, but I need a favor from you and Jake.

A/N: Okay that's where I'm going to leave this chapter. I hope you like it. Sorry it took so long to update again, I got a really bad sinus infection that made me not want to do anything. But I'm working on the next chapters and hopefully I will be able to get Chris/Brian to meet a girl of his own. And have Dean go off and never bother them again or something like that. Well anyway I'm working on ideas and hopefully I can get Jess and Rory some alone time soon. ;-) thanks for reading and please review and let me know what you think and if you have any ideas I'm always open to suggestions!
