Hey back for another Gilmore Girls fic I own no one, the song belongs to Mandy Moore. I am saying nothing else cause everything is a surprise in this one, but I swear you will love it oh it takes place in their senior year of high school.
"I've got a crush on you." Rory sings softly to herself. As she places some books into her locker.
"Hey Mary….or should I say Mandy?" Tristin jokes
"What can I do for you Tristin?" Rory asks
"Well. I was wondering if you would like me to give you a ride home, instead of you finding some other means of transportation to get to my house?"
"You mean to work on the project you so graciously volunteered us to work on together?" Rory asks
"Call your mom" Tristin hands her his cell, as they go to his car.
"Good to go." Rory hangs up the phone and hands it back to Tristin.
"Great" He starts up the engine and they go off to his house.
"Do you think anyone knows besides…?" Rory asks
"People who say something if they did." Tristin replies not taking his eyes off the road.
"How do you think everyone will react?" Rory asks toying with a ring on a chain around her neck.
"Don't do that, there is no reason to be nervous." He says his eyes still glued to the road.
Rory drops her necklace and sighs "I hope so."
~~~You know everything that I'm afraid of
you do everything I wish I did
everybody wants you, everybody loves you~~~
Tristin turns into the Dugrey's driveway and they get out and go in the back door.
"Hello Tristin, hello Rory dear." Mrs. Dugrey greets them
"Hi mom"
"Hi Mrs. Dugrey" Rory smiles
"My it's almost graduation, you two have grown so much, so what's the countdown?"
"3 weeks" Tristin says
"And a day" Rory adds
"I am so glad for both of you, both such hard workers, and going into Harvard, I am so happy you both got accepted, and now I am gushing, so why don't you two go on into the living room?"
"All right thanks mom"
Rory once inside the living room sits on the couch, deep in thought.
Tristin rubs her shoulder as he sits next to her. "Relax ok?"
"I am trying, I am just so nervous about this weekend, well tomorrow really." Rory admits
"Let's not worry about that now." Tristin says "Let's get this project done."
"Yea, let's get it done." Rory agrees
~~~I know I should tell you how I feel
I wish everyone would disappear
every time you call me
I'm too scared to be me
and I'm too shy to say~~~
"Bye Tristin" Rory calls as Tristin drops her off at her house.
"Bye, see you tomorrow." Tristin pulls out of the driveway
"Mom!" Rory calls once inside.
"In here" Lorelai calls back, Rory follows the sound of her mother's voice into the kitchen "So are you ready for the big dinner tomorrow? I mean really it's the anniversary of how long my parents have been friends with Tristin's parents. Who celebrates that? I know I don't! I didn't even know my mother knew Tristin's parents! Oh well it's only one night right?" Lorelai asks
All the talking made Rory feel lightheaded "I think I am going to go to sleep, I need my sleep."
"Yea I will too, I need plenty of sleep if I am going to be able to make it through this dinner." Lorelai kisses Rory good-night "Night Rory."
"Night mom" Then under her breath she says "I know I need my sleep."
********************
"That night Rory sleeps a fitful sleep, having one horrible dream after another, she hears shouts and yells, and sees images of herself, Tristin, her mom, her grandparents and Tristin's parents flash through her mind.
Rory wakes with a starts soaked in sweat, she checks her clock and gets up to get ready for school.
****************
~~~Ohh I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that I do
I get a rush
when I'm with you
ohh I've got a crush on you
a crush on you~~~
*******************
"Looks like you got as much sleep as I did" Tristin greets Rory Friday morning in school
"Tonight, I am so freaked, I can't even talk rightly- I mean correctly" Rory stumbles over the words
"Hey at least it's Friday, then we have the weekend, and 3 weeks of Chilton and we are free." Tristin assures her
"I hope so" Rory says as they walk off to class
******************
"Rory as much as I don't want to go tonight, we have to leave now!" Lorelai calls
"I'm coming!" Rory yells
They go out to the car and drive off for Hartford
20 minutes later they arrive and go to the front door of Emily's and Richard's house.
"Hello, please come in, both of you, Katherine and Anthony (Tristin's parents) are already here, along with Tristin" Emily greets them
Rory and her mom walk into the sitting room and take a seat. Tristin raises his eyebrows in question and Rory shakes her head no, Tristin nods in understanding.
After some conversation Emily suggests they go eat dinner. Rory edges over to Tristin and asks "Did you drive here separately?"
"Yea, in case this thing blows up in our faces." He says in a hushed voice
"It will" Rory answers
~~~You know I' the one that you can talk to
and sometimes you tell me things, that I don't want to know
I just want to hold you
and you say exactly, how you feel about her
and I wonder, could you ever think of me that way?~~~
"Wait" Rory stops "Are you positive you want to go through with this?"
Tristin searches her eye "I am more positive about this then I have ever been about anything. This is no crush Rory."
Rory takes a deep breath "Let's go"
~~~Oooh I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that I do
I get a rush when I'm with you
ohhh I've got a crush on you
a crush on you~~~
"Oh there you two are, I thought we'd lost you." Emily says as Rory and Tristin enter the dining room
Rory and Tristin take their seats next to each other opposite, Katherine, Anthony and Lorelai.
Tristin squeezes Rory's hand under the table and starts to talk.
"Mom-"
"Oh I'm sorry Tristin, can you please pass me the potatoes?" Emily asks
Tristin passes them and tries again but is cut off once more this time by his father.
Tristin once more tries and says "Could everyone listen for a moment." He asks which quiets everyone down
"Rory and I have something to tell you all" He says and pauses
"Tristin, we haven't all night, the food is going to get cold."
"Rory and I are going out" He says
"Ohh how wonderful" Emily exclaims which causes everyone to start talking at once.
"Wait!" Rory says loudly "We've been going out for well over a year."
"You never told me?" Lorelai asks somewhat hurt.
"My goodness that's a long time" Katherine exclaims
"Nice girl you've got there son" Anthony says
"Wait! All you of you we're not done." Tristin says
"Well, what else is there?" Richard asks
Rory takes the necklace off of her neck, slides the ring off and places it onto her hand.
"Rory dear, what are you doing?" Emily asks confused
"Tristin and I are engaged." Rory answers
Tristin jumps in before anyone could talk. "We want to have a formal wedding, before we go to Harvard, if we don't have your support, we will have something small with our friends."
"Have….have you gone mad?" Katherine finally gets out
"How do you expect to support a family?" Anthony asks
"You're both just babies! 18 years old, Lorelai I told you, you were going to lose her." Emily says
"Mom please!" Lorelai says, then to Rory "Rory I don't know what to say, one minute your going out with Tristin, now your engaged?" Lorelai asks in shock
"I'll tell you what to say, you two are not doing this" Katherine shouts
"Time to go" Tristins whispers and him and Rory get up and leave after Rory slips a note to her mother, they go to the front door. The chaotic shouts drifting out of the dining room.
"Rory, Tristin, wait." Richard calls, He envelops Rory into a hug "Is this what you want?" He asks
"Very much" Rory answers
"Well then congratulations, call me for the wedding I wouldn't miss it for the world. Take care of her Tristin. And don't worry about everyone else, they'll come around. Oh and I saw your get-a-way car, I knew you were up to something."
"Thank you sir." Tristin says and then shuts the door behind them.
~~~Ohh I wish I could tell somebody
but there's no one to talk to, nobody knows
I've got a crush on you
a crush on you, I got a crush.~~~
Deaf to the noises around her, Lorelai opens the note from Rory and reads it,
Dear Mom.
Please understand, I never meant to keep this from you.
But I didn't want to make a deal out of it. I truly love Tristin and
he loves me. Tonight I will spend the night with a friend and Tristin, if
you need anything I can be reached on his cell at 555-6241
Love Rory.
*****************
10 minutes later Rory and Tristin ring the doorbell to the massive house in front of them.
The door opens "Hey guys how'd it go?"
"Horrible" Rory says
"Like expected" Tristin adds
"As long as you two are happy" Paris says as she shuts the door. "I'll show you where to put your things, and you both know you can stay as long as you like, anything I can do to help. That's what friends are for right?" Paris says smiling.
Tristin laughs and says to Rory. "To think this all started with a crush."
Rory smiles and they walk hand in hand into the living room to join Paris and sit down to talk about the days events.
~~~You say everything that no one says
but I feel everything that you're afraid to feel
I will always want you, I will always love you
I've got a crush~~~
To be continued soon, please R&R Thanx!
