Chapter Fifteen:

Rory's mom let her out in front of the hospital's door and promised to be with her soon. Rory looked at the doors to the hospital and looked at her mom driving the jeep to the parking garage. Taking a deep breath she entered the hospital she had last seen when her grandfather had had a heart attack. She walked up to the nurses' station in the middle of the floor.

" Excuse me?" she asked.

" How may I help you?" a nurse asked.

" Will you tell me where Tristan DuGrey is please?"

" Are you family?"

" Yes."

" He's on floor eight, room 343. He just got out of surgery and his family is in the second waiting room on the left."

" Thanks."

Rory quickly walked to the elevator and jabbed the up button. She waited impatiently for the doors to open and when they did she jumped in and hit the eighth floor. When the doors opened to show her the eighth floor, Rory got scared. Gathering her courage she walked down to the second waiting room. She stopped inside the door afraid to disturb the family she saw sitting there in tears. The tears that had refused to come suddenly came and Gisela came over to comfort her.

" Go see him."

" I can't. I'm scared."

" We'll all be here for you. Go. He wants to see you."

" He's awake?"

" He slips in and out of conciseness but when he is alert he asks for you."

" Will you walk me to his room?"

" Okay."

As they were walking down the hall Lorelai walked onto the floor. She saw her daughter entering a room and a girl walking back to the waiting room.

" Hi, I'm Rory's mom. Is she going to see Tristan?" Lorelai asked.

" Yeah. It's good she came he wanted to see her. He told me that she probably hates him for standing her up."

" She doesn't. She was so worried."

" Come sit in the waiting room. Everyone wanted to meet the girl Tristan had gone out with but I guess they'll have to meet you first. By the way I'm Gisela."

" You're his cousin. The one Rory met the night of the blind date."

" That's me."

" Lorelai."

" Let's go Lorelai."

Rory opened the door to room 343 and walked in. When she looked at the form on the bed she almost turned and walked back out into the hallway, but then he whispered something.

" Rory?"

" It's me Tristan."

" You…came."

" Shush. Don't talk."

" I'm…s…sorry."

" It's okay. You couldn't help it."

" I thought that you'd hate me."

" I couldn't hate you."

" I'm so tired."

" Go to sleep."

" No, I want to talk to you."

" Go to sleep. I'll be her when you wake up."

" Promise?"

" I promise."

Rory sat down in the seat that had been dragged near his bed and grabbed his hand and squeezed it. He weakly squeezed back and Rory smiled.

" I love you Tristan. Get well soon." She whispered.

Hours passed and Tristan didn't wake up again. Rory was still thinking about what she had said to Tristan.

' Do I really love him? I can't believe I said that. What if he doesn't love me? But what if he does love me and I don't really love him? Do I love him? I'm so confused. I do love him. I hope that he loves me. I guess it took this accident to make me realize I was already hopelessly falling for him.' She thought.

The door opened and Lorelai stepped inside.

" Honey?"

" Yeah mom?"

" Do you want to go home and come back tomorrow?"

" No. I promised to be here if he woke up."

" Do want to see if I can get you a bed?"

" Could you?"

" Sure."

" I hope his family doesn't mind if I stay here."

" I bet they won't. Do you want me to ask them?"

" Please."

" Okay. I'll report back soon."

" Thanks."

Lorelai left and closed the door behind her. Taking a deep breath she walked to the nurses' station to get a bed for her daughter and then she was doing to call Luke.

" Rory?" Tristan whispered.

" I'm here."

" You don't have to stay."

" You heard that?"

" Yeah."

" I'm going to though."

Closing his eyes, Tristan said, " I wish I could kiss you."

" Open your eyes."

Tristan opened his eyes and saw Rory standing over him.

" Do you want me to kiss you?" she asked.

" Please."

" Okay."

Rory slowly leaned down and touched her lips to his. Tristan moved his lips against hers and Rory opened her mouth to his tongue. Tristan's tasted her mouth and groaned. Rory pulled her mouth away from his.

" That was amazing." He said.

" I know."

" I wish we could do more."

" Not now and not here."

" I know."

" Good thing we agree."

" I know."

Suddenly the door opened and Lorelai skipped in. A nurse pushing in a cot followed her.

" Tada!" Lorelai said.

" Thanks mom."

" Thanks Lorelai."

" No problem you two! Anyway I was talking to Luke here and he said he would come pick me up so I could leave the jeep for you, Rory and then Luke and me could go home and have a quiet dinner and maybe watch a movie."

" Sure. Like you're going to actually watch the movie." Rory said.

" We will!"

" I believe you."

" Anyway smart ass, I'll leave you two love birds alone and go wait for Luke in the downstairs lobby."

" See you later mom."

" Bye Lorelai and thanks for letting her stay the night." Tristan said.

" Well she had no plans on leaving so I took it upon myself to find my daughter a bed so she could stay by her injured boyfriend."

" Okay mom. Thanks and I'll see you soon. Oh and Luke is bringing you some clothes that Patti got for you."

" Good."

" So I'll bring them back up and then I'll leave."

" Okay see you soon."

" I love you. Bye Tristan."

" I love you too mom."

" Bye Lorelai."

Lorelai turned and headed out the door talking to Luke. Rory shook her head and went to lie down on her bed.

" What are you doing?"

" Checking out my bed. It's kind of lumpy but it will do for the night."

" You can always share my bed."

" I don't think so Tristan." Gisela said.

" Gisela! What's up?" Tristan said.

" Nothing. The family wanted me to tell you that since Rory is staying the night that we were going to go home and come back tomorrow morning."

" Are my mom and dad coming in?"

" I don't think so. Do you want them too?"

" No. I'll be fine."

" Okay see you later. I'll come back tomorrow after school. Okay?"

" Yeah. Get my work for me?"

" Sure. Rory are you going to school?"

" Yeah. Mom had Patti back my clothes so I'll go to school from here and come back after."

" Okay see you two tomorrow."

After Gisela left, Rory went downstairs to get her stuff. When she was back in the room Tristan and her talked until Rory said that it was time for bed. Giving him a quick kiss Rory went to change into her pajamas and brush her teeth. When she came back out Tristan was already asleep. Rory lay down and finally fell into a fitful sleep.
