Part 2~ Shape Of My Heart



"Rory, this is completely crazy and you know it!" Lane told her best friend. She thought that Rory was totally off and should let him, Tristan, continue the whole 'male bonding' ordeal in peace without the complications of girlfriends having to be involved.



"Lane," Rory sighed exasperatedly, "I know this sounds crazy, and freakily stalkerish but I know that something is wrong, or at least something is just not right." Rory explained, "and I am going to find out once and for all it isn't."



"Ya know that you are starting to sound like that girl that you were in competition with." Lane asked him and Rory shot her a death glance. "I mean it though Rory. Since when did you become so, I don't even know how to put it. So obsessed and needy?" Lane asked her perplexed.



"Well, as you know our anniversary is coming up in a week, and I am finally going to express to Tristan how I really feel about him." Rory admitted. This was the first time she had let anyone else know what she was feeling inside. She had never told her best friend, mother, or even the one responsible for making her feel these feelings, her boyfriend Tristan.



"Whoa! Rory I had no idea-"



"Its ok. Forget it. But don't tell anyone. I mean I want to be the one to tell Tristan that." Rory sighed as Lane just nodded her head understandingly.

"Wow! Tristan has sure been gone awhile now," Matt observed.



"Yeah, wow he has," Jason laughed and gave Matt a congrats pat on the back.



"She was a hot one, that's for sure!" Chase chuckled and they all agreed on that.



"Tristan is damn lucky to have us guys here to set him up with a hot babe that will please his every need- and when I say every I mean every!" Tom went on, and was going to continue to, but then felt a tap on his shoulder. He noticed all the guys staring at him and he at once knew something was not good about the situation he was in.



Tom slowly turned his head around in the direction of the tap and looked up. He saw two very angry and hurt piercing blue eyes staring into his.



"Where is Tristan?" The girl asked him.



"I don't know," Tom told her simply, keeping his cool.



"Where the hell is he?" Rory asked him once again, but more forcefully this time.



"As I stated so very clearly before; I don't know." Tom reiterated to her staring her down.



"Don't you dare give me that shit I want to- I need to know where he is!" Rory yelled at him trying to stay calm, but it was obvious from the tone of her voice she was not.



"Whoa! When did you turn all psycho bitch?" Tom asked her, egging her on, as she just flinched and was about to open her mouth and say something before Tom spoke once again. "Oh yeah." He stated matter of factly, "Me n the boys here, decided to get Tristan his own lil strip show." Rory's eyes widened in shock as he went on, "since you never seem to pleasure him or anything like that. We took it upon ourselves and got him a lil of his own." Tom said and winked at her.



"Where is he?" Rory asked trying to stay calm when millions of thoughts were running through her mind.



"Her place."



"Where is that?" She tried to speak calmly, but it was not working.



Tom pointed to another stripper there and said, "ask her."



Rory walked over trying to keep from killing Tom and the rest of them and asked the woman, "Hi, I'm looking for someone who left tonight with one of the other girls here…" She asked shakily.



"The one that left with that hot, tall, messy haired blonde babe?" The woman whose nametag read Desiree asked.



"Yes, that would be him." She said. That is my boyfriend! I mean I know he is good looking, but I don't want to know what other woman think of him! Ugh!



"He left with Melody." Desiree told her, "don't worry he is in good hands." Rory breathed out a sigh of relief, not realizing she had been holding it in. "Yeah she's great, she'll please him however he wants."



Rory just stared at her not knowing what to say. She tried to hold back the tears but she could not any longer. She broke down as Lane, who had been there with her the whole time, tried to calm her down.



* * *



By now the little fiasco in Melody's home had become full-fledged. She had taken of all her clothing and was ready to please Tristan in anyway he wanted it.



Tristan was just lying back not really realizing all that was happening. He was pretty much at ease until he felt Melody trying to get his member inside of her. This startled him enough to say, "Don't!"



"Why not baby?" Melody asked him, "I'm positive that you are not a virgin."



"Well I'm not, but you see I have this girlfriend and I really love her, and this is going to already kill her, but at least not going all the way-" He told her.



"Yeah, I know all about her. Your buddy Tom told me the whole story," Melody confessed, "I wish it wasn't this way. I really like you but I do respect you for not letting me do anymore. I wish my boyfriend would have done that for me…." She trailed off.



"Thanks Melody." Tristan said to her, "one day you will make one guy very happy." He smiled his killer smile at her.



"I hope so. But if you ever want to get together again here is my number," she told him handing him a piece of paper with her name and her number on it.



"Thanks," he said and she laughed.



"Come on, let's go!" Melody said pulling back on her clothes and leading him outside to her car.

When Melody and Tristan returned back to Midnight Mayhem Tristan gasped at the sight he saw. Sitting outside on the bench was Rory and Lane. Lane was trying to comfort her and Rory was crying her eyes out.



Lane looked up and gasped at the sight of Tristan and a very attractive woman standing next to him. Rory noticing Lane's change in attitude looked up and saw her boyfriend with another beautiful woman. It's over for us Thought Rory. He probably wants her, I mean I've been his girlfriend and we never do anything. If I'd only known he wanted more!



Melody noticing the exchanging of longing, and sadness between the girl sitting on the bench crying her eyes out and Tristan- she knew this was the girl he loved. She envied that his girl could get so much love from someone like Tristan, yet she knew what she had to do.



Melody whispered to Tristan, "can I have a word with her?" Tristan shot Melody a questioning look, but shrugged his shoulders.



She then walked away towards Rory and said to her, "Can I have a word with you?"



Rory looked up at her and thought here it comes. No more Tristan for you Gilmore



Melody broke into Rory thoughts when she started to talk. "You know you are really very lucky to have someone like Tristan." Rory gasped obviously surprised. "He loves you more than you will ever know. He wouldn't let me do anything." She paused a moment so Rory could say something, but Rory was speechless to say the least. "You are lucky, never let him go." And with that final thought Melody left giving Tristan a 'go ahead' look on the way out and he looked toward Rory who was walking his way.



Hmm, yeah, yeah

Baby, please try to forgive me

Stay here don't put out the glow

Hold me now don't bother

If every minute it makes me weaker

You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah



Lookin' back on the things I've done

I was tryin' to be someone

I played my part

And kept you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart


Sadness is beautiful

Loneliness is tragical

So help me I can't win this war, oh no

Touch me now don't bother

If every second it makes me weaker

You can save me from the man I've become



Lookin' back on the things I've done (back on the things...)

I was tryin' to be someone (tryin' to be...)

I played my part

And kept you in the dark (in the dark)

Now let me show you the shape of my heart



I'm here with my confession

Got nothin' to hide no more

I don't know where to start

But to show you the shape of my heart



I'm lookin' back on things I've done

I never wanna play the same old part

I'll keep you (keep you in the dark) in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of my heart



Lookin' back on the things I've done

I was tryin' to be someone (tryin' to be someone)

I played my part

Kept you in the dark

Now let me show (Now let me show you the true)

you the shape (shape of my heart) of my heart



Lookin' back on the things I've done

I was tryin' to be someone

I played my part

And kept you in the dark

Now let me show you the shape of

Show you the shape of my heart



"Rory I'm-" He started out.



"Shh, its ok. I know what happened. Nothing did." Rory told Tristan as he just stared at her.



"Rory I-" He stammered again.



"I love you Tristan," Rory told him interrupting what he was saying. I finally said it! Thank God!



"And as I do you." He told her as they embraced and when they finally went up for air, Tristan noticed Melody staring, watching them and she gave him a wink when she caught his eye.



'Thank you,' Tristan mouthed to Melody and she just smiled and walked into the club.
