**The Next Morning- The Crap Shack**
Tristan woke up unaware of where he was, he tried to turn over and felt something warm next to him. He groaned thinking that he had gotten drunk and spent the night with some girl, again. But then he opened his eyes and saw that Rory was there, curled up into him. He smiled and started to play with her hair. She was so helpless looking, so peaceful and beautiful. He then bent his head down and kissed her forehead. He quietly and carefully got up and walked into the kitchen. He checked the time and it was 12:37 pm. There was a note from Loralei on the counter that said, ' Devil Boy- I know you'll be the first one up. Went to Lukes. Let Rory know. Also your secret is not a secret. And she feels the same way about you trust me I know my mini me. -The Queen'
Tristan laughed at Loralei but then he realized that she had said his secret wasn't a secret. How did she know? Was it that obvious that he had feelings towards Rory? And Rory would never have feelings for him. She was still with Dean. At least he thought she was still with Dean. Just as he was pondering this whole thing he heard a voice from the next room, call "Tristan?"
"Yea Rory," he said folding Loralei's note and putting it in his pocket, and then walking in smiling.
"Oh good, I was wondering where you went, what time is it?"
"Its about 12:40. You wanna go to Lukes for coffee?"
"Have I mentioned how you're a god?"
"You haven't seen all my godlike qualities." he said implyingly. (I know its not a word but hell now it is!)
She got up and hit him in the chest and said, "Good, I hope I never do!"
He smirked as Rory walked out of the room to go get her jacket. He followed her and opened the door and said, "Ladies first. Oh wait then I should go cause your definetly NOT a lady."
Rory put an appalled expression on her face, though it was obvious she was trying her best to hold back a grin, "I am ashamed at you Mr. Dugrey, speaking to a lady such as myself like that, have you no manners."
"No none at all, good Rory." He said, taking her arm as they started walking towards town. The whole way into Stars Hollow the two talked, gossiped about who was doing who, what was going on. Tristan and Rory both catching shy glimpses of each other, both too afraid to tell the other the truth. When the got to Stars Hollow they started to walk towards Luke's when Rory stopped and dropped Tristan's arm.
"What is it Rory?" asked Tristan. When Rory didn't respond Tristan looked around and he spotted Dean, and then he knew what it was. He suppressed a groan and ran his fingers through his hair thinking how Loralei was definetly wrong. He hadn't had an encounter with Dean the whole time he had been friends with Rory. He looked up again and saw Dean walking extremely fast towards them.
"Rory whats the accountant doing here?" asked Dean demandingly.
"His name is Tristan and he is here because he's my friend." Said Rory coolly.
"Whatever his name is. Listen up accountant, stay away from my girlfriend, okay? Rory I don't like him at all and you know that, I don't want to see you around him again ever, he's trouble for you and me."
Rorys face showed pure disgust but Tristan did not see that. He thought that Rory would go along with what Dean was saying just to save their relationship.
So Tristan said, "Listen Bagboy, I am not trying to take your girlfriend, I can be friends with her and I don't think it really is much of your business who she hangs out with, but if yo-" Tristan was cut off when he heard the sound of a slap. Then he looked up and saw Deans face with a handprint mark on it and Rory standing next to him, her eyes full of anger and loathing.
"How dare you Dean?!?!?!? I've been trying to make this relationship work for months know months, its gone Dean everything is gone, do you get that? There are no sparks! You are so unconfident and the most overjealous person I have ever met! You can NOT tell me who and who not to be friends with. Tristan is one of my best friends, which you obviously did not know because then you would have known why he was here. I will spend as much time with Tristan as I want, and stop calling him the accountant! You and I, Dean, we're over, okay over. This was the final thing. First you were jealous of Tristan, then Jess, now Tristan again and now your trying to tell me who and who not to be with. Go find yourself some blonde bimbo who will actually listen to you Dean!"
Deans eyes were brimming with tears after Rory's outburst. And he said quietly and awkwardly, "But I thought you loved me Rory, I love you more then anything."
Rory sighed and said "Dean don't you realize you don't love me, the sparks been gone, you know it too, we both know it! Your just holding on to me, just like I was. Dean I will always love you, I'm just not in love with you. You were my first for just about everything, my first love, my first kiss, the list goes on. I'm sorry Dean that I just blew up like that but we both knew that this was going to happen soon, I didn't realize I was going to do that now, but I have to go get coffee now, we'll talk later though okay? But it is over." With that Rory grabbed Tristans arm and started marching away.
Tristan looked back at Dean who had put his hands up to his face, obviously devastated. Then he looked at Rory, who had a look of mixed emotions on her face. She had anger, fear, loneliness and sorrow on her face. He looked at her eyes and saw a tear slide down. He took his thumb and wiped the tear away.
"Thanks Tristan," said Rory.
"For what?"
"For being there."
"Anytime, just please don't tell me it was because he offended me."
"It wasn't, I've been waiting to end it for a while. The right time just hasn't showed up yet. I'm actually not that upset, I mean in ways I am, he was my first in so many things and I'll cherish him and our relationship forever but I just couldn't stand being with him anymore. But come on lets go get coffee now."
Tristan laced his fingers between Rory's and said with concern, "Okay, if you need to talk after we get coffee just tell me, and the coffee's on me." Rory smiled as the two walked into Lukes, she had noticed the worry in Tristans voice and she thought to herself, 'Yes I've definetly done the right thing, and now if Tristan wants me, well maybe in some time I can be with him.' She giggled at the thought, to happy to think anymore.
Rory looked up and saw that Jess was at the counter, "Flannel Boy Jr (knowing it annoyed it) I need 5 cups of coffee now now now! BLACK COFFEE!" she said with a slight smile, her eyes still a little watery.
Jess groaned and said, "Rory please do not call me that, it is an absolute insult-"
"Hey watch it you bad ass" said Luke grumpily going back upstairs.
Jess looked up and he saw Rory's face, he went over to the coffee pot poured five huge cups of coffee and said, "What has happened to my lil' sis, aka Flannel Girl?" comfortingly.
Rory didn't respond so Jess looked at Tristan and said "I'm guessing something with uhh either Tristan? (Tristan shook his head) or Dean? (Tristan nodded and Jess's expression froze into pure hatred)."
"Dean," Rory whispered, barely audibley, the little happiness that she had regained after her blowout was now gone replaced with guilt.
Jess looked outside and saw Dean sitting in the gazebo looking out in to space. "What did he do to hurt you, tell me Rory, he'll pay for this he will" Jess said very protectiviely.
"No Jess don't, he didn't hurt me, I- I hurt him, I dumped him, he started trying to boss me around and I told you the spark has been gone, the love is gone, so I just took advantage of the opportunity and dumped him." Rory said stopping between words for gulps of coffee. Jess came over and gave Rory a hug and a kiss on the forehead, brushing back her hair, then he motioned for Tristan to come over to him.
"Well man, lets just leave her a lone for a little while, she'll be fine, she was going to do this for a while anyways, and now well now you've got your chance, and well floppy head was just boring and I hated him anyway, you should be with her, she deserves you. I don't know if you deserve her, infact I don't know if anyone deserves her." Jess said.
"I don't deserve her, no one deserves her, she is magical, something that no one deserves, but I just wish she would want me as much as I want her. It drives me to insanity to see her like this. I just want to hold her and kiss her and-"
"Please don't tell me anymore, your basically talking about my sister here," said Jess with a smirk, "But your right. And she will be yours she will be, give her about a week but she'll realize how big of a hole shes fallen in, cause trust me I can see love in her eyes everytime she looks at you."
"You think?" said Tristan.
"I know." With that Jess patted Tristans back and they walked back over to Rory who had downed her 7th cup of coffee.
"Ror how bout we head back?" Tristan suggested.
"Okay, but Jess I want some coffee to bring with me."
"Sure" said Jess as he handed Rory two filled coffee cups. He then gave her a hug and whispered, "Everything'll be alright, everything with Tristan will work out. I know you love him. Just wait, he loves you too he is just too scared to tell you."
"How--?" Rory started but Jess cut her off.
"Don't ask me how, I just know Rory, and I've known for about a month now." Jess winked at Rory and Tristan looked quizzically back and forth between them.
"Good luck Tristan" said Jess
"Thanks?" said Tristan wonderingly, "Bye Jess"
"Bye Jessie!" Rory singsonged to Jess as she grabbed Tristans arm and Jess rolled his eyes.
Tristan and Rory started to head back to The Crap Shack. ************************************************************************ So what did you think?!?!?!? TELL ME! TELL ME MORE TELL ME MORE!!
