Prologue
Present time, 9:04 pm
She didn't know what she was doing there.
The drive seemed to drag on more than usual, and the minute she arrived at her destination, her reasons for coming vanished. All through the drive, she rehearsed what she was going to say when she saw him. She imagined the different scenarios that might encounter. She thought of the insults she could hurl back at him. But the moment Rory Gilmore parked the jeep, everything flew out of her head.
Rory killed the engine, but made no effort to get out. She took a slow, deep breath, as she remembered the day's events, a tear slipping down her cheek. She remembered the hurt, the pain and the confusion she'd been feeling ever since he returned. And then it all came back. The reason she was there.
Rory needed to confront him. She needed to know why he said the things he did. She needed to know why her life had been an emotional roller coaster since the day he stepped back into her life. She needed to know why she felt an inexplicable urge to be near him. Taking another deep breath, Rory opened the door to the jeep, and stepped out.
"Great," she muttered, as she was immediately drenched from the pouring rain. She quickly closed the door to the jeep, and ran up the steps to his house. She took a moment to calm herself down, before pressing the doorbell.
No answer.
Rory pressed the doorbell again.
"Please be home, please be home," she whispered over and over. Rory breathed a sigh of relief, as she heard the sound of footsteps walking closer and closer to the door.
The door flew open, and he stood there, his mouth forming an 'o' in surprise.
Rory looked up to meet his eyes, and for a moment, she saw a flash of concern, as he looked at the wet mess she was. She bit her lip as a small smile started to form on her face. However, everything Rory was feeling was dashed after she heard the cold tone in his voice.
"What are you doing here?" Tristan asked in a resigned voice.

Ooh, some suspense! Well, my pathetic attempt at it. Just to let you know, I'll try to update this story soon, but seeing as I'm going to be writing diplomas all week, I probably won't have time to update the story until next weekend.
