Part 5: Good-bye again Mary
When she glanced up from her note taking she could see his eyes were filled with some sort of emotion. The only problem was she couldn't figure out what it was. It was even could it be regret? She decided to go ahead and ask what could it hurt would he admit after all these years he had fallen in love with her. "Any regrets?" "Two," he began softly. "The first one breaking into Bowman's father's safe and not being able to kiss good-bye the only girl I've fallen in love with," Rory suddenly remembered that night how for once he hadn't been a complete jerk. Yes, he had interjected Mary but it had been for old times sake. Flashback:
PARIS: Where have you been? You have to get dressed; we're on in ten minutes.
TRISTAN: Can't.
PARIS: What?
TRISTAN: Actually, my dad had me pulled out of school. He. and is she unhappy.
RORY: What do you mean he had you pulled out of school? What happened?
TRISTAN: Nothing. Just ticked the old man off, that's all.
RORY: By doing what? Tristan, come on, tell me.
TRISTAN: I got in some trouble.
RORY: Trouble involving?
TRISTAN: Involving Duncan and Bowman, and Bowman's dad's safe.
RORY: Oh no.
TRISTAN: I mean, Bowman had a key. It was supposed to be no big deal. And the crazy silent alarm kicked in.
RORY: You broke into Bowman's dad's safe?
TRISTAN: Yes.
RORY: Stupid.
TRISTAN: Yes.
RORY: Well, okay, you can apologize and you can put back the money and you can explain that, I don't know, you were going through something.
TRISTAN: I was, I was going through his safe.
RORY: Why would you do this?
TRISTAN: I don't know. I guess that's something I can ponder at military school.
RORY: Military school?
TRISTAN: The police are letting our parents handle it, and in my case that means military school in North Carolina.
RORY: I don't know what to say.
TRISTAN: Well, I imagine you're overwhelmed with the relief in knowing that soon I will be gone.
RORY: I'm so sorry.
TRISTAN: Well, I'm a big boy. I can handle it.
RORY: There's nothing you can.
MR. DUGREY: Tristan, come on.
TRISTAN: I gotta go. So, I might kiss you goodbye but, uh, your boyfriend's watching. Take care of yourself, Mary.
"you should have kissed her," whispered Rory quietly breaking the sudden silence between. "She already hated me. Why make her hate me more?"
Flashback: He's not my boyfriend! I hate him! I love you, you idiot!
"Maybe she only said that she hated you because you wouldn't leave her alone about a certain concert," she said pointedly.
Flashback:
TRISTAN: You should decorate this thing.
RORY: I did.
TRISTAN: Well I mean with something other than a bunch of dead black and white women.
RORY: What, like curtains?
TRISTAN: You know what I mean. I did mine up.
RORY: Yeah, I saw that. The naked picture of the Siamese twins is particularly classy.
TRISTAN: You know what these are? (holds up two tickets)
RORY: They look like tickets.
TRISTAN: To PJ Harvey.
RORY: Wow, you have good taste. I'll give you that.
TRISTAN: You're into PJ Harvey, right?
RORY: Yeah, how'd you know?
TRISTAN: Why, I'm all knowing.
RORY: How Godlike of you.
TRISTAN: One of these is for you.
RORY: Oh, I don't think we should go to a concert together.
TRISTAN: Reason?
RORY: It would seem like a date.
TRISTAN: Well it would seem like a date because it would be a date.
RORY: I can't date you Tristan.
TRISTAN: Well I give you permission.
RORY: And on that humble note. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
TRISTAN: So I'm a little tired of this game.
RORY: What game?
TRISTAN: Are we meeting there or what?
RORY: What are you talking about?
TRISTAN: The concert's tonight.
RORY: Well I hope you and the empty seat next to you have a lot of fun.
TRISTAN: I'm started to get a little irritated here.
RORY: So am I.
TRISTAN: What are you mad about?
RORY: You've been telling everyone that I'm going to this thing with you.
TRISTAN: Just a couple.
RORY: You told Paris. Paris and I had just started getting along and now she hates me again.
TRISTAN: Well, the damage is done. You might as well go to PJ Harvey with me.
RORY: Never never. I am never going anywhere with you ever.
TRISTAN: You know, these tickets cost me a fortune.
RORY: They cost your daddy a fortune.
TRISTAN: I don't even know anybody else who's even into this stupid guy.
RORY: PJ Harvey's a woman.
(Tristan grabs Rory's books)
RORY: What are you doing?
TRISTAN: You'll get them back when you agree to go with me.
RORY: You're pathetic Tristan. Keep the books. I'm leaving!
Suddenly Tristan realized she knew. He looked up and her eyes revealed the hope she had for him. "Maybe I really did want to go with her," he whispered softly enchanted with those brilliant blue eyes yet again. "Why didn't you just say so?" "Like she would have believe me!" he said snorting incredulously. "Maybe she would have if you hadn't been a jerk the whole time asking her to go,"
"I know I made a lot of mistakes back at Chilton but the only thing that made me get through of all those days, my only hope, the last thing I held onto, my lifeline you could call it. It was, our sparring matches, Rory," his voice wavered and Rory tensed. They were centimeters apart and getting closer as each second went by. Suddenly Rory's cell phone rang but she didn't make a move to get it. The moment was over as Tristan drew back from her. She sighed and reached for her phone. "Hello?"
"Hey beautiful it's Andy,"
"hi Andy," she whispered quietly but not quietly enough. She glanced back she could see his crestfallen face quite clearly. It made her lose her cool composure. "I'll call you back," she whispered. "Tristan." she turned back to face him but he was gone. Tears were rushing down her cheeks. She looked around and spotted him. He was walking off the field and she raced to catch up to him. "Wait, please," she begged him. "I should have known you had a boyfriend," he said bitterly. "I do and I'm sorry okay? I never thought I'd see you again! I always had this dream that you would come back but you never did do you know how hard that was for me? I had to face the facts you weren't coming back anytime soon,"
"I had no idea. Rory it was just as hard to leave you standing there in your Juliet costume, looking so beautiful and not being able to kiss you,"
"You should have,"
"Dean would have killed me,"
"But would it have been worth it?"
"Probably but I'll never know will I?"
"I guess not," she said sadly. "Yeah, I guess not," he replied dejectedly. She went back to the dugout to gather her things including her hat. "Tristan would you mind signing this?"
"No problem," he took a marker from Rory and signed it. He thrust it back into her hands a minute or so later. "Read it later," he whispered quietly. "Oh and Tristan?" Rory called to him. "What?"
"Don't let another eight years pass by okay?"
"Okay but Rory the same goes for you,"
"It's a deal!" she cried out. She gave him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. Rory could feel the chills racing up and down her spine but ignored it. "Bye," she whispered and with that she was gone. "Bye," he whispered to her retreating back. "I love you Rory Gilmore and I know someday you'll know that we were really meant to be," he smiled sadly and wistfully remembering when he had first met Rory.
Flashback:
TRISTAN: Hey, Mary.
RORY: Me?
TRISTAN: Yeah, you.
RORY: My name is Rory.
TRISTAN: I'm Tristan.
RORY: Hi.
TRISTAN: So you new?
RORY: Yeah, first day.
TRISTAN: Remmy's class is rough.
RORY: Yeah, it seemed very intense.
TRISTAN: I could loan you my notes, if that would help.
RORY: Really? That's be great.
TRISTAN: Yeah? How great? (he's walking forward, pushing her up against the wall)
RORY: I don't know. Mr. Remmy said that getting someone's notes would be...
TRISTAN: I could even help you study. If you want.
RORY: Uh, I kind of view studying as a solitary activity. But thanks.
TRISTAN: Bye Mary. (he walks off)
RORY: It's Rory.
Turning quickly he headed to the locker room hoping he would just forget about Rory Gilmore once and for all.
