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

Rory struggled to open her eyes. Hearing a lot of commotion, she finally was able to open her eyes and immediately closed them, when suddenly she was blinded by the lights overhead.

" She's awake!" someone yelled.

' What's going on? Where is T… Tristan? Oh my god. Rory thought as she opened her eyes and struggled to sit up.

" Miss? Miss, stop struggling." A man yelled.

" No! No! Where is he?

" Miss, calm down! Your friend is going to be okay. Are you hurt?"

" No, I'm not. I need to see him."

Staring at the man, Rory pushed herself up onto her knees and turned towards where Tristan had been. He was there but surrounded by a red liquid. Crawling to him, Rory finally sees the blood on his shirt and realizes what she is kneeling in is his blood.

" No. Tristan, no you can't be hurt. You're fine." Rory sobbed as she was pulled away.

As she watched EMTS run up to Tristan and began to try and help him. Crying Rory looked down at her hands, which were covered in Tristan's blood. Suddenly, she was being lifted up into someone's arms and was being carried away from Tristan.

" Wow! Put me down." She yelled over and over again as she was put in a police car.

As the car drove off presumably to the hospital. Rory saw Tristan being placed into an ambulance. That was the last thing she saw before blacking out again.

**Four hours later**

" Mrs. Gilmore…" the doctor started saying.

"Lorelai."

" Lorelai, your daughter has a minor concussion on her head, nothing serious, her passing out is due to stress and her wrist needs to stay in the brace for about a month because it was sprained as she fell."

" That's it."

" Yes. That young man saved her life. If he hadn't dived In front of her when he had it would have been worse."

" Thank God. Is he… Is he okay?

" I'm not sure. I'll find out and tell you."

" Thank you. I'm sure Rory would want to know."

" Yes, doctor as soon as possible."

" Rory? Honey, how are you feeling?" Her mom asked.

" I'm fine mom. But what about Tristan?" Rory asked as her voice got stronger.

" I don't know. The doctor went to find out."

" He saved me."

" I know."

" What else do you know?"

" You love him."

" I know."

" What went on at Starbucks?"

" He came in before the robbers I tired to call someone, and they found out. He made us go to the front. The man… the man was about to shoot me, but… but… he saved me."

" I owe him"

" No you don't, we both do. God, where is he?" Rory yelled as a nurse walked in.

" Miss. Gilmore?"

"Yes?"

" We have some news about your friend, Mr. DuGrey."

" He just got out of surgery, about two hours ago. He's stable, and no major organs were hit, we should be up by now."

" Can I see him?"

" Yes. I'll be right back."

" Thank you."

The nurse exited the room and grabbed the wheelchair that was across the hall. Pushing it back into the room. She assisted Rory into it and pushed her to the elevator. They went up two floors and after passing eight rooms. They entered a doorway on the left side.

Rory immediately noticed Tristan's still form on the bed, unmoving. When she was stopped at the edge of the bed she grasped hold of Tristan's hand.

" Well, I'll be back sooner or later. If you need anything, ring the buzzer."

" No problem."

As soon as Rory heard the door close, she looked at Tristan.

" Tristan? Tristan are you awake?" Rory asked.

Silence ran throughout the room.

" I guess you aren't. Today has been horrible. To start with, Luke refused to give me my coffee. But then you called me."

" But they had to choose today, to choose the time we would be there. Damn them. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you today."

Looking at Tristan, Rory watched for the slightest movement to indicate that he was awake.

" Why did you do it Tristan? What reason did you have to jump in front of me? Why did you have to get shot?"

Rory stopped again and tried to regain her composure. The tears had been streaming down her face and her thoart ached from speaking. Finally she was able to speak again.

" Tristan I went to your house to tell you something. Something that had the power to change our lives forever. Here goes. Do you remember what we learned in Spanish the other day?"

Rory waited hoping he would say yes.

" I know you can't answer me, but the saying that stuck with me was 'Yo amor consigo. Yo amor tú con todo el corazón. Translated that means, I'm in love with you and I love you with all my heart."

Looking at Tristan she leaned over and pressed a kiss to his lips.

" I love you." Rory whispered in Tristan's ear.

Closing her eyes, Rory held onto Tristan's hand as she prayed for him to wake-up.

' Please wake-up. Please.' She thought.

Shaking his head Tristan tried to clear his head. Suddenly he remembered the events from the day. Struggling past the darkness he heard a soft whisper in his ear. I love you. Rory. He always knew when she was in the room even if she didn't say a word.

' Wait did she just say she loved me? Wake-up you ass.' He thought.

Coughing he felt the grip on his hand tighten. Finally able to open his eyes he looked straight up into Rory's gorgeous blue eyes.

" Tristan? Oh my God, you're awake! Are you okay?"

" Rory?" he croaked out.

" Yes. God, you scared me so much today! Why did you have to do that?"

" I… I couldn't let you get hurt."

" Why not? I could have ducked."

" Because…"

" Tristan? Tristan? Oh no!"

Rory grabbed the buzzer and pressed it many times until a nurse came in.

" Yes, what's wrong?" the nurse asked worried.

" He woke up and then he passed out. Why?"

" It happens sometimes. He had a bad wound and was given multiple pain killers and drugs doing the surgery."

" When will he be up and not pass out evey other second?" Rory asked getting aggravated quickly.

" Tomorrow morning. He won't wake up again today. Why don't you come tomorrow?"

" I guess."

" Do you want help to your room, miss?"

" No. I'll leave in a second."

" Okay."

Turning back to Tristan, Rory looked at his face.

" I love you Tristan and don't you forget it. You have me now and forever." Rory said before kissing him on the cheek.

As she walked out of the room she looked back repeatedly, checking to see if he was still breathing, if he was still alive. Finally she was back into her room. Once there the tray of food was pushed out of the way and Rory collapsed onto her bed in tears.

' Why today?' she wondered.
