Hey thanx for all of your reviews on the last part and sorry it took so long for this one to be put up. Anyway thanx to Hunni Bunni for pointing out that I wrote that Rory said good-night Dean instead of Tristan, sorry about that. Anyway I hope you all like this next part please keep R&R!
"What do you want? Haven't you done enough already?" Dean asks in a raised voice
"Shut up Dean!" Rory says abruptly, so much that Dean shuts up and sits down, he has never heard Rory talk like this before. "I should be asking you that. Do you know the crap you did? You cheated on me with my best friend"
"It wasn't my fault. I didn't mean to, I loved you."
Rory lips start to tremble "Then how could you do that to me?"
"I thought you came in here to lecture me and yell at me" Dean says sullenly
"I did" Rory's anger coming back "You don't have any idea what you did to me"
"What about me? I laid my heart out on the line for you and I say I love you, and you just sit there? What was that? Then you go and kiss Tristan at a party the next day, and let's not forget how the whole town hates me!"
"Apparently Lane doesn't, you two took to each other just fine"
"Would you shut up about that!"
"Why should I you're going out with her now"
"I don't love her, I love you"
Rory stops shocked "Don't say that! I came here to tell you how much I hate you, don't you dare say you love me!"
"But I do, I was just using Lane"
"No! I don't care what you are doing , if you loved me, you would of understood , Tristan does!"
Dean stands up towering over Rory, his voice is lethal "Don't you ever, EVER compare me to a loser, stuck up jerk of a guy like that!"
Rory takes a step back, but Dean comes closer still ranting and raving, his rage blinding him, Rory goes for the door, but Dean blocks her "Going somewhere? Come on this was your idea, you wanted to yell at me and scream and tell me how much you hate me , what? When it comes back to you , you can't handle it? I swear Rory, I could just-"
Dean raises his arm as though to hit her, but his arm is stopped in mid-air "What the hell?…" He asks turning around, only to receive a blow to his face.
Rory screamed as Dean went down and started trembling "Tristan thank God your here, but how did you know?"
Tristan smiled "I called your house when you didn't come into school, but I knew you weren't sick, and I figured you would be here."
"Yea but how did you know I would be HERE in this classroom?"
"I got a tip from someone" Tristan looks to the door, where Lane was standing
"Lane? What are you…..Tristan what's going on?"
"I got Lane to tell me, because I have my amazingly sweet charming personality" He smiles "We got here and we waited outside, because it would be best for you to vent, but the second he raised his hand…."
Rory kisses Tristan deeply "Thank you so much, I don't deserve someone like you, you are so amazing."
"Don't say that Rory you are an amazing person too, but right now you don't need to be talking to me…."
Rory looks to the door where Lane is standing there sadly, with tears rimming her eyes
"Oh Lane…" Rory goes over to her former best friend and they hug tightly
"Rory I am so sorry, I don't know why I did, I got so caught up in the idea that someone liked me and, and I don't deserve to be your friend anymore or even talk to you." Lane says through her sobs
"Don't say that….I'm sorry that you did that too, but I still want to be your friend, your the best friend I ever had!" Rory says now crying
"So does this mean you want to be friends again?" Lane asks looking at Rory
"No….. I want to be best friends again!" Rory smiles and the two girls hug again.
"Lane? What about us?" Everyone turns around they had forgotten he was still there.
"What about us?" Lane eyes him "Cause I know you don't love me, I heard you say so yourself, I can't believe I even said those words to you, they're so precious Rory was right for not saying it back."
"But-"
"Dean you should go now" Lane says softly but firmly "Please."
Dean says nothing but leaves the classroom.
"Well come on you two!" Tristan says with a smile on his face.
Rory and Lane are busy wiping their faces and cleaning themselves up. "What are you talking about?" Rory questions
"We should celebrate! I mean me and you are both going to be in a LOT of trouble for skipping school, you too Lane, and we probably will all get punished and you two are friends again, Dean is gone, and we should go celebrate come on lunch er, breakfast make that on me." He says checking his watch.
"OK lets go" Rory says they all head to Luke's Diner.
***************
"Rory? Lane? Tristan? What are you guys doing here?" Luke asks suspiciously
"We have a day off Luke, we all deserve it" Rory smiles
"Yea that's it definitely" Lane agrees
"Sure it is" Luke says "So what do you want?"
"Coffee" The three of them say together (hey it was a long morning) "And some pancakes" Rory adds
"You guys are poisoning yourselves with that stuff, you know"
"Yea but it is sooooo good though." Rory jokes
"You're turning into your mother. Don't."
"Why thanks Luke."
"Sure whatever" he goes to make them their food.
"Rory? Tristan? What are you doing here?" Loralai says sitting down, she spots Lane "Lane what are you doing here?" She asks shocked.
"It was a long morning mom"
"Yea a real long morning Loralai" Tristan adds
"Well did it have a happy ending?"
"Of course" Lane says
"Good then I want to hear all about it. But first." She looks to Luke "I need some coffee" She smiles devilishly
*************
"Wow" Loralai says after they finish telling her the story. "I am really proud of you Rory standing up to Dean like that, and I'm sorry Lane that you had to hear all of that, and Tristan I am so glad you were there."
"See I told you I liked this boy, that other one was no good." Luke says
"Luke!" Loralai says exasperated
"Fine I get the point."
"So you guys want to go out and celebrate tonight? We can have dinner at the inn"
"At the inn mom?"
"Well we have to eat and I have to work late tonight so why not?"
"OK fine, it sounds like fun mom."
"Good see you kids there around 6:00 OK?"
"Yup see you later." They chorus
"So what do we do now?" Lane asks "Go back to school?"
"We could or we could go back to my house and watch movies" Rory asks
"I'm there" Tristan says slinging his arm around Rory's waist.
******************
Skipping ahead to after dinner.
"That was great food. Loralai" Tristan says after he is done eating
"You should know, you ate practically the whole kitchen" Rory jokes
"Hey I can't help it if I was hungry" Tristan protests
"OK, OK kids lets go, we sat here long enough and I have some more work to do still." Loralai says standing up
"OK bye mom I'll see you later" Rory says giving her a hug
"Bye sweetie, bye guys"
"Bye Loralai" Tristan and Lane say
They all go outside
"Well I really have to get home now, my mom is going to kill me as it is. But she'll be happy to know I broke up with Dean."
"OK goodnight Lane" Rory gives her friend a hug.
"Night Rory, night Tristan."
Lane heads off to her house and Tristan and Rory hand in hand head to Rory's house.
They walk for a while in silence when Rory stops. "What is it Rory?"
"I have to tell you something Tristan"
"Sure, you can tell me anything" Tristan says confused.
"I love you."
Tristan looks shocked for a moment as he recalls the conversation between Rory and Dean about her not being ready to say I love you. He smiles "I love you too Rory."
Rory smiles the happiest smile she has ever "You better Tristan DuGrey" she throws her arms around him and they kiss.
Hey I hope you all like it, I think it might be the end of the story, but if you guys want me to continue it I will, please R&R.
