I made my way through the door. I headed to the kitchen, wanting a cup of coffee. To my surprise, my parents were home. They sat in the dining room eating breakfast.
"Morning mom, dad."
"Good morning Tristan. You were up early this morning. Do you want some breakfast?" My mom asked me.
"No thanks. I just want some coffee. And yeah I went to go see Rory."
"Maria," One of our servers came in, "Would you please bring Tristan a cup of coffee please?"
"Yes, ma'me" She went into the kitchen and I sat down.
"Yes, how is Rory doing?" My dad finally put down his morning paper and asked.
"Good. She's still a little tired, but things are better." Maria returned with my coffee and I began to drink it.
"That's good." My dad picked up his paper again.
"So what have you got planned for today?"
"I was thinking of finishing off some of the assignments today. My professors gave them to me when I told them I would be absent from class for a couple of days."
"That was very responsible of you. Well I was going to head to the country club today, and I wanted to know if you would join me, but I guess not."
"Sorry mom. I need to finish these, then I'm going back to the hospital."
"All right, whatever you say."
I finished my coffee and got up from the table. "I'm going to go now. Bye mom, have fun at the country club. Bye dad."
"Bye sweetie."
"Tristan."
I left and went up the winding stairs to my room. I walked in and fell onto the bed. I looked at the box on my nightstand. I picked it up and started playing with it. *What am I going to do?* I questioned myself.
"Why did I go and buy this? We're not ready yet, are we?" I asked myself out loud. I couldn't bring myself to ask her today. I wanted things to be perfect. When I first bought it, I had decided that I would ask her. That I wouldn't chicken out, but when I saw her, I knew I couldn't do it. Not yet. I sighed and put the box back on the nightstand. I got up and started on my papers.

"What's going on here?!?!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's WAY too quiet here..."
"Nah, you're just imagining things."
"No I'm not! I haven't been here for a week not years. I know something's up!"
"Whatever you want to believe." Mom pulled into the driveway.
"Why couldn't Tristan come pick me up again?"
Mom let out a sigh. "Because he's been dragged into some party. His parents wouldn't let him out of it."
I was about to get out of the car when mom said, "Not so fast!" She ran to my side of the car and helped me out.
"Mom, I can walk. I'm not disabled."
"Nope, you are not walking by yourself."
"Fine." I wasn't in the mood to argue with her. She led me up the stairs of the porch and reached for the door. Mom opened it.
"Surprise!!!!"
The whole town was in my little house. I smiled a big goofy smile and looked around. There was a huge sign in the middle of the living room that read "WELCOME HOME RORY." I looked around and saw Miss Patty smiling like a fool, along with Taylor and Kirk. I continued to look around until Lane ran up to me and practically pushed me to the floor.
"Rory!!! I'm sooo glad you're home!"
"That makes two of us." I hugged her tight.
I walked in with Lane behind me saying hello to everyone and receiving hugs. After all the greetings, Lane and me went out onto the back porch.
"So how's it going?"
"Good I guess..."
"Aren't you happy to be home?"
"Yeah...."
"But....?"
"I wish Tristan was here..."
"Who said I wasn't?"
I turned around to see him grinning at me. I got up literally jumped on him, sending both of us to the ground.
"Awww, Mare! Miss me that much?"
"You bet your butt I did!" I kissed him. I pulled away and we both got up.
"Mom said that you were at some party that you couldn't get out of."
"Haha, and where am I now?"
"My house..."
"No, haha, I'm at a party. And yes, my parents insisted that I come... not like I wouldn't!"
"Grr... I'm going to hurt my mother!"
"Nah, you wouldn't."
"You're right, I wouldn't... But I would deprive her of coffee!"
"Now that's just mean!!! And here I was throwing you a huge party too!"
"But you told me..."
"Ahh hush! We got cake that you need to cut!"
"Oooo sugar fix!" I ran into the house.
"Looks like she's back to normal" Tristan said. Lane just nodded.
A/N: Yeah yeah, I know, its short... meh o well. Whatcha gonna do? lol. It's finally election week at our school! Whoo!!! Yay fun fun!!! This chap was all crap... I know, but I had to write something... plus i won't be till after this weekend cuz I have a baseball tourny! whoo!!! lol.
