Con todo el corazón (With All My Heart) : Part One

Rory pulled into a parking spot at Starbucks and after a quick look she realized she had arrived there before he had. After she had hung up the phone she had sat in her car trying to figure what Tristan wanted to see her about. Nothing was making sense anymore. She had finally decided that if she wanted all of this confusion to end she had to meet him.

Truthfully she was nervous, very nervous. She got out of her car and walked into Starbucks and joined the line for a cup of coffee that she was really going to need.

Tristan parked his car next to Rory's jeep and knowing she was in line getting some coffee, he got out of his car slowly. Approaching the door he failed to notice the black Honda speed into the parking lot. The bell above the door sounded so loud to Tristan as he stepped through the door. His eyes swept the store, searching for her familiar face. As if in a dream the second he spotted her he was shoved towards the counter.

" Get down! Now! Get on the floor before I start shooting." A man yelled behind Tristan.

As Tristan sank to the floor he glanced to where Rory had been. She had laid down on the floor and as Tristan stared at her he saw her shoulders move soundlessly.

' Just hang on, Rory. I'm going to get to you.' He thought.

As Rory lay on the floor crying she thought of what to do. She hoped that Tristan was near-by but not inside. What would she do if he got hurt? Closing her eyes images of her life began to float past her eyes.

" Everyone! Put your wallets, purses and jewerly on the table nearest to you. Now!" the man in charge yelled.

Tristan reached for his wallet as he watched Rory take off her jewerly and grab her purse.

" Everyone, get up slowly. Move to the back and place your money and jewerly on the nearest table to you. Once you get to the back of the store, sit down and face the back of the store." A woman yelled.

" I want on the workers to open this cash register and give me the money. Now!" the man yelled once again.

Tristan stood up and threw his wallet on the table he was next to. His eyes never left Rory as he watched as she got up and placed her things on the table.

Rory placed her jewerly and purse on the table she had been sitting at moments before as she turned to walk to the back of the store. Suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist and gasping Rory whirled to face whoever it was.

After taking a few more steps Tristan was able to grasp Rory's wrist and pull her towards him. He watched as Rory whirled to face him and saw her face change from fear to happiness as she collapsed against his chest. Tristan sat down and pulled Rory onto his lap and hugged her for what seemed like hours before Rory spoke.

" Tristan?" Rory whispered.

" Yeah?"

" Thank you."

" For what?"

" For this."

Neither said anything as they waited for this ordeal to be over. Suddenly a gun shot rang throughout Starbucks. Seeing the blood drain from Rory's face, Tristan looked at her. As he stared into her eyes, she realized what he wanted her to do.

Slowly she reached her hand up and into Tristan's front pocket. Taking a deep breath, he tried to control the emotions that rolled over him as her hand brushed his chest. Inching her hand out of his pocket she pulled out the phone and was dialing 911 when a shadow appeared above her.

" What the hell do you think you're doing?" a man yelled angrily as his hand knocked the phone from Rory's grasp. " Get up!"

Pulling herself up, she faced her attacker.

" You think you're smart? Well, you and your little boyfriend here can get up and move to the front of the store."

Tristan released Rory's hand and stood up next to her before grabbing her hand again. They walked towards the front of the store looking at the people they passed hoping that one of them could get them some help before things got to out of hand.

" You, boy, get those bags and place them in the car." The women yelled as she grabbed all the wallets, purses, and jewerly off thew tables.

Grabbing the two bags, Tristan walked out the door and placed them in the backseat of the Honda, before turning back to Rory.

Rory watched helplessly as the man turned from Tristan and towards her. As he pointed the gun at her and moved his finger to pull the trigger she closed her eyes and waited for the pain as the shot rang in her ears.

As Tristan stepped back through the door he saw the man move to pull the trigger of the gun he had pointed at Rory. Looking at Rory he jumped in front of her, knocking her out of the way just as the gun went off.

Rory was tackled suddenly and as she began to fall she opened her eyes and stared into Tristan's blue eyes as they glazed over in pain. Darkness soon engulfed her.

As screams rang throughout Starbucks the robbers jumped into their car and drove off. As they departed the sirens could be heard approaching.
