That's Just the Way Things Work Out
Chapter 5
Rory sat there, not believing what had happened. 'Why had he been such a jerk to me? He has never acted like that before. What got into him?'
"Hey Rory." Tristan walked into the room.
"God, you scared me half to death." Rory replied.
"Well, my looks have been known to send chills through people."
"Wow how did your big head fit through the door?"
"I will ignore that comment, and pretend you said something nice."
"Ok whatever."
And then the silence came. Together they just stood there not knowing what to do. Then Tristan broke the ice. "So what did you think of the biology test?"
"What?"
"Well I figured that you did not want to talk about tonight so I thought I would bring up biology. I can change the subject to Spanish."
"First of all, you're right I don't want to talk about tonight, and second of all, I am not in biology anymore. I was in bio last year, and school is now over."
"Oh yeah," Tristan replied. "Plus I don't go to school there anymore."
"But I do have one question for you."
"Yeah," Tristan said not trying to get his hopes up.
"You were just out there right?"
"Yeah, so what's your point?"
"Is he still out there?"
"No, he left right after you came in here." Tristan replied his hopes falling.
"Oh, well I better go, I have to call my mom to get a ride."
"You don't have to do that, I can take you home." Tristan said finding this the perfect opportunity.
"It is so out of your way. I feel bad."
"Don't, I would love to take you home, you have been through a lot tonight, and it is way too late to have your mother come out here to come get you."
"Thanks so much. That is so sweet of you."
"No problem."
Later... In the car
"No way! Real World is so much better than Road Rules. Look at the awesome house they get to live in." Rory said arguing with Tristan.
"All they do is sit there bitching and moaning about their pathetic love lives."
"Well what about your pathetic love life?"
"My love life is not pathetic."
"No, it's not pathetic, you just don't have one."
"Hey, hey I have been in military school for a log time, how am I supposed to meet the girl of my dreams, locked in a tiny room with five other juvenile delinquents?"
"Good point." Rory replied. "Turn here, it is the blue house on the left."
The car pulled into the driveway, and they both just sat there not knowing what to do. This time it was Rory's turn to beak the ice.
"This was so much fun. I barely thought about Dean since I started talking to you. Thank you so much for the ride home."
"No problem Rory."
"Good night Tristan."
And then it happened. Rory leaned in and and kissed him. It was soft and sweet, yet it was passionate.
"Wow, I can't believe I just did that."
"I know, me neither." Tristan replied. "The good thing is though that you aren't crying."
"Ha ha very funny."
"Just pointing it out to you."
"Tristan what are you doing tomorrow?" Rory asked rather bluntly.
"Coming to visit you at eleven in the morning to cheer you up."
"Good plan, but make it ten."
"Ok see you tomorrow. And if you need anyone during the middle of the night, I am only a phone call away."
"Thanks, bye Tristan, see you tomorrow." Rory gave Tristan a final hug and left the car running up to her house to tell her mom everything that happened.
'Wow, I can't believe she kissed me. I just have to take this slow; I can't let my emotions get the best of me. I just want to know why I feel like I should be in a Disney movie right now? All happy and cheery? That just isn't Tristan DuGrey. Well I guess girls will do that.' And with that Tristan started the engine and left heading home to Hartford.
"Rory!" Lorelai came pounding down the stairs chasing her daughter into the kitchen. "Did Dean get a hot new sports car that he would love to take me for a ride in?"
"Nope Dean did not get a new car. He did get a new something though."
"What did he get?" Lorelai asked.
"Nothing." Rory said, ignoring the question. "We just broke up though."
"Oh honey what happened. Come on let's get some mocha ice cream, order a pizza, and sit down on the couch, and you can tell me what happened."
"That sounds like a great plan."
Later...
"And then I kissed Tristan." Rory said ending the story.
"Rory, why do you always kiss Tristan right after you break up with Dean?"
"I don't know, force of habit I guess. Wait, I forgot to tell you something."
"Whats that?"
"Tristan is coming over tomorrow to cheer me up."
"Thats great honey, I am very proud at the way you are handling this."
"I know I am too. I am not that sad. I just realize that if Dean can get over me that fast, that I should be able to just pretend he doesn't exist, and get on with my life."
"Honey, I love the way you are so optimistic. Come on, Tristan's coming over early, so we have to get some beauty sleep. Good night Ror. If you need anyone to talk to in the middle of the night, go buy a dog."
"Mom!"
"Just kidding, come talk to me if you need to talk."
Ok thanks Mom. I love you."
"Love you too sweetie. Sleep tight."
"Good night."
Ok that's the end for now. There will be more. Just please review good and bad. I like Constructive Criticism. I hope you like the story. I don't know when I will get the next chapter up , but I have school, tons and tons of homework, and driving classes, so it might be a few days. Sorry. And as in the words of Tigger. TTFN Ta Ta For Now!
