Chapter Eleven:

Lorelai looked around and saw her daughter sitting on the sidewalk with her head down. Swearing to herself that she would kill him for hurting her daughter she got out of her car and walked over to Rory. As she got closer her daughter, she looked up and that's when she saw the tears. She rushed to her daughter and pulled her into her arms.

" It's okay. Go ahead cry baby. I'm here."

Calming down Rory lifted her head from her mom's shoulder and looked at her mom.

" I want to go home."

" Okay, let's go. Luke is worried about you."

" Tell him I'm fine."

" I'll tell him when I call to cancel our date."

" No. I want you to go. I don't want anyone thinking something is wrong."

" But something is wrong."

" I know. I want to be alone tonight and then we can talk tomorrow."

" Do you want to stay home from school?"

" Yes. Do you think you could stay home from work?"

" I'm the manager. Of course I can."

" Thanks."

" No problem."

Lorelai glanced at her daughter as she started the car. As she pulled out of the gas station she felt so bad for her daughter because she was so unhappy. This was turning out to the week from hell. As Lorelai drove through Stars Hollow she looked over at her daughter and noticed that she had fallen asleep.

' Probably from what happened today.' Lorelai thought as she turned onto her street.

As she was about to pull into her driveway she saw a blue BMW in it.

" Tristan." She hissed.

Stopping the car and then checking to see if Rory was still asleep, Lorelai got out of her jeep and walked up to the car. After looking in the window and seeing no one in the car she walked up her porch steps. That's when she saw him sitting on her porch swing.

" You have some nerve." She said.

" What? Where is Rory?"

" You know damn well what I'm talking about. Where Rory is none of your business."

" Yes it is."

" It is now? Since when?"

" I need to talk to her."

" You won't be talking to her any soon. She doesn't want to see you ever again."

" I have to talk to her."

" Listen boy, you better get in your flashy car and drive away now or you'll be sorry. I can't believe you. You knew about Dean, but that didn't stop you. I've always tried to protect my daughter from your kind. I know your type but I thought that maybe just maybe you were going to be different. Obviously I was wrong."

" What are you talking about?"

" You know what I am talking about. Now get out of here. I don't want you to upset my daughter anymore. Stay away from her or I'll hurt you. She asked me not to so I'm holding back. Now get out of here."

" But…"

" No. Get out!"

" Fine. Tell her I need to explain. It isn't what she thinks it is."

" Get out."

Tristan looked at Lorelai for a second before he got into his car and drove off. After Lorelai was sure that he was gone, she walked over to the jeep. Shaking Rory softly, she woke her daughter then helped her into the house where she collapsed on the couch.

" Go get ready for your date mom."

" Rory, I'm going to cancel. Luke will understand."

" No. Go."

Realizing that her daughter was not going to back down she said, " Fine, but I won't have any fun. I'll be home as soon as possible."

" Okay."

Lorelai walked slowly up the stairs to her room and changed her outfit. When she saw Luke's truck pull up, she walked down the stairs. When she entered the living room, she saw Rory sleeping and covered her with the blanket on the back of the couch. After locking all the doors and windows Lorelai kissed her daughter's forehead and walked to Luke's car.
