INSIDE
Jess walked in on lorelai and luke makin gout
* whoah!* he thought they obviously didnt notice him so he walked into the kitchn to fix a drink for rory
OUTSIDE
"Tris?"
"hey" he came up and gave her a huge hug
"why are you here?"
"you left your pictures"
"oh thanks"
Tristan sat down next to rory. "so whats going on here?"
"mom and luke are outside, and jess went to get me a drink"
"oh.. are you and Jess together?"
"he wants to be..."
"and you?"
"I dont know," rory was starting to get tears inher eyes, he noticed. He lifted her chin up "hey, dont worry, you'll figure it out, you always do"
"its just that, I like another guy too, but im not sure what to do"
"who is the other guy?"
"I- Uh, lets not talk about that"
Just then, Jess walked out
"Hey" Tristan stood up
"hi"
They sat there in an uncomfortable silence, but then it started raining
"whoa, luke and I better get going- oh, and watch out, they were making out in there!"
"what?"
"yeah, they were"
"haha.. oh my god"
All three of them walked in, lorelai and luke jumped up and shifted around uncomfortably
"uh uncle luke, we should go, its starting to rain" he was trying very hard not to laugh
"Yeah.. uhh lets go" he wanted out as soon as possible
Jess walked over to rory and then placed a slight peck on her lips. Rory saw tristan behind jess and saw him wince
"bye jess" rory said
"bye"
"okay rory, whats bible boy doing here?"
"he came by to give me my pictures"
"ohkay, well tristan, you cant drive out to hartfort whith the weather, so I guess you're stuck"
The tornadeo alarms started going off
"okay, in the closet we go" lorelai said
"what about the crutches?"
Tristan too the crutches and picked her up
"okaaay, problem solved" lorelai said clearly amused
Lorelais closet was big enough for the three of them, how could it not be with all the crap she keeps in there?
Tristan slowly made his way up the stairs, rory in his arms.
" I dont like tornados" she whispered to him
"its okay, they wont hurt you, I promise" he whispered back
she went back to putting her head burried in his neck, this felt right.
Tristan made it to her closet and gently sat rory down on the pillows and he sat next her her, and lorelai on the other side of her.
"Rory, you arent still scared of these are you?"
"who? me ? never!" she said while tristan found her hand and gave it a sqeeze- she sqeezed it back
There was aloud train sounding thing come "shit.. its here" lorelai said
Tristan squeezed her hand and bent over and lifted her chin. he placed a gentle kiss on her lips "it'll be okay, just wait and see"
The roof started to crack and a peice landed right by the closet.
"SHIT!!" lorelai put her arms around rorys nect and tried to sheild her from anything hitting her. Tristan did his best to help. a peice of the ceiling started to give over rory and lorelai, tristan threw himself over rory and lorelai and blocked it from them. it hit his arm and back instead. He felt a sharp pain in his arm and gasped
"tristan, are you okay?"
"shhh dont worry about it" he lied. The pain was unbarable, so he gently lifted his painful arm and brought it to his lap.
The tornado passed- rory and lorelai started to get up. "lorelai, get her crutches, I cut my arm, and I need to clean it up" he shielded it from them and turned away "okay"
Lorelai got the crutches and they went down the hall. Tristan went into the bathroom there was a huge peice of glass in his arm. *damnit* he tried to pull it out. Rory and Lorelai went to ge the pillows out of there, and fould alot of blood on the floor. "tristan" they both said
"just alittle more" he tried to tell himself, but it didnt work "okay, on the count of three... one.. two.. THREE" he yanked the glass out "OOOWWWWW shit!"he yelled
Rory and Lorelai came in. "Tristan are you okay?"
"Yeah, Im fine." he said while hiding his arm under a towel.
"Let me see"
"You dont want to do that" he shook his head
"just let me see" he gave up at that point, the pain was too un bearable. He uncovered the towel and brought the piece of glass out from behind his back.
"oh my god" lorelai said
"Come on, lets check the car and gethim to the hospital" rory said making her way down the stairs.
Within twenty minutes, they pulled into the hospital and got to work on putting stitches in- it too 15 stitches. tristan couldnt stand needles, he could take a beating, anything but needles. Rory offered her hand, and he gladly took it.
Once out of there, they got back to the gilmore house and tried to catch some sleep. Lorelai had already called luke and told him everything.
Tristand and Rory took their medicines and since the living room was a mess, some of the cieling had fallen, so Lorelai had given permission for tristan to sleep on the the trundle down under her bed. They placed the beds side my side and tristan took off his shirt to be more comfortable.
"hey tris?"
"yeah?"
"thank you"
"for what?"
"taking the hit for me"
"it wasnt really a think and do thing, it was instantanious, if it would have hit you, it would have hit your head and killed you, and the parts of the ceiling would have hurt your mom pretty bad."
"thank you"
"anytime"
"one more question"
"whats that?"
"what do I do about jess?"
"do you love him?" his voice was quivery
"yes...." she waited a minute "as a brother"
"then there is your answer"
"how do you tell the guy you like, that you like them?"
"well, wait and see if he likes you too, or wait for him to make the first move."
"okay, good night Tristan" she leaned over and kissed his lips the same way he did to her earlier.
"goodnight rory"
Rory woke up early the next morning and found a note from her mom
"hey babe, Im going to be working late today, ive already called the school to tell them tristan is under my care and faxed them his doctors note. Love you, and BEHAVE. Mom."
Rory hobbled around and made some coffee.
"mmmm...."
"coffee?" tristan asked
"exactly!" she poured him a cup
"thank you"
"did you sleep okay?"
"yeah, I did, thanks"
"so my mom called the school and gave them your doctors note, you're stuck here with me"
"how am I going to live?!?!" he dramatically said
"you'll die and slow and painful death"
"only if we have to watch willy wonka again"
Rory and tristan laughted then called her mom
"Mom?"
"hey babe- sleep okay?"
"yeah, but what do we do all day?"
"go to the video store"
"dont have money"
"check under the rabbi"
"got it!"
"bye babe"
click
Tristan and rory headed to the video store in his car and fould alot of movies they both loved
"here" he handed her some dvds
"go get VHS, we dont have DVD yet"
"You do now" he pointed to the check out line that had a dvd player in it, with willy wonka
"my moms going to kill you"
" I know, but she owes me"
"now she owes you more"
"no, now we're even"
"I dont understand your twisted mind"
"neithe do I"
They got back home and tristan set up the player.
"I like!" rory clapped like a four year old
"what movie first?"
"hmm.. lets go with 40 days and 40 nights"
"okay"
Rory got settled on tristans lap. her head lay on a pillow that was on his lap and her foot on another stack. She brushed her chocolate brown hair to stay out of her way.
Tristan stroaked her hais, which made her sleepy. She shut her eyes halfway through the movie, and fell asleep. Tristan, who had wached her fall asleep, decided to go to sleep too.
Lorelai walked in to find rory asleep in tristans lap, tristans hand protectively on her head *they are so cute together, what about jess though?* then as If someone had read her mind, jess came walking through the door that she forgot to shut
"uh jess, rorys asleep"
"Oh, well i'll just tell her I came by..." he stepped to the living room and saw them
"Look jess, he had to stay the night because of the storm"
"why are they laying like that?"
Tristan had heard the noise and woke up "Hey lorelai, hey Jess"
"Hey Bible Boy, jess was wondering how yall got to laying down like that"
"Easy, she wanted to lay down on the couch, but not enough pillows for her foot and her head, so she lay her head on my lap, and foot on pillows"
"makes sense" jess said
"yeah, sorry dude"
"Hey Tristan is there anything going on between you and Rory?" he asked
Rory who had been listening decided now was a good time to wake up. Tristan was relieved, he didnt knw what to say.
"hey beautiful" jess said
"Hey"
"Ror- can we talk?"
she shot a look at tristan who nodded his head
"sure" Rory grabbed her crutches and left with Jess, who sneeked in a quick kiss.
"rory, how do you feel about me?"
"I like you... but as a friend"
"and tristan?"
"I think I love him"
Jess just nodded and they headed home
"Hey ror" tristan said when she walked in
"Hey"
"go alright?"
"yeah"
"good" he picked her up and hugged her, then lay her on the couch.
"You are like my new best friend! I dont have to sue the crutches anymore when you're here"
"you ARE my best friend"
The rest of the night was spend watching movies, with lorelai who was about to kill tristan for buying her a dvd player.
That night, tristan needed advice- They lay in their beds and stared at the ceiling.
"Rory?"
"Yeah?"
"How do you tell your best friend you love them?"
"Just tell them I guess"
"Rory?"
"I love you"
Rory rolled over to him and kissed him "I love you too"
Tristan pulled her closer and kissed her more He licked her bottom lip and she opened her mouth for him. She felt his tongue slide over hers and felt tingles down her spine. His hands were roaming over her bak, and her hands were exploring his stomach. His hands reacher her shirt and lifted the corners "is this okay?" she nodded and lifted her arms. Tristan took her shirt off and carelully laid her on her back so he foot would be okay. He slowly kissed ler left breast, then her right, leading a trail down her belly button. She giggled and started to kiss his chest "I think we need to stop now" she whispered
"thank you"
"no problem, im sorry I made you stop"
"dont be, I dont want you to do anything you're not ready to do"
rory leaned in and kissed him, they played "suck eachothers face" for about twenty minutes then rolled over and fell asleep
Tristan and rory woke up to the sound of lorelai breaking a coffee mug
"Mom?"
"yeah?"
"what are you doing?"
"I am busy breaking this coffe mug.. I guess its evil"
"oh" she said it normally as if anything lorelai did was ever normal.
"I think I better go home and check in with my parents" Tristan came out.
"sure, call me?" rory said
" I will" he kissed her
Lorelai just sat there watching this and decided to say something when the lip lock kept going.
"did I miss something?" Rory and Tristan broke apart
"Umm... just saying goodbye?"
"haha.. nice try, try again"
"this could take awhile to explain Tristan, why dont you go home and call me?"
"okay" he pecked her cheep
"bye lorelai"
"bye evil one"
TRISTANS HOUSE
"Mom? Dad? he was confused, there were boxes everywhere
"in here son" his dad called
"whats going on?"
"hows your arm Tristan?" his mother came in
"its fine mother, whats going on?"
"well, we're moving"
"WHAT?!?!"
" I have to run a company in california"
"what? why?"
"Why is this so bad?"
"Dad, I cant leave Rory"
"whats going on with rory?"
"I love her"
"You'll find another Rory in californai, and thats final youre going!"
Tristan ran out of the house and headed for Rorys house, he was furious, and upset.
GILMORE HOUSE
"RORY!!!" he screamed as he banged on the door
"what?" she opened the door hobbling with her crutches
"sit down, we need to talk- is your mom home?"
" no shes at work"
"Sit"
"whats wrong?" she asked while she sat down
*quick, do this quick* he told himself
"Rory.. listen.. my dad.."
"whats going on?"
"my dads moving us"
"what?!?! where?!?!"
"California" he dropped his head
"No.." she started to cry
" I cant do anything about it"
" you can come back right?"
" no, he wants me to start over"
""no, we can still be together"
"Rory, I cant be here.. You need someone who is here.."
"I love you too much to move on"
" I love you too Rory.. this is killing me"
" I cant do this.. Just get out"
"Rory, wait"
"No, GET OUT!" she screamed
LATER THAT NIGHT
Rory didnt move from the couch after Tristan left. Lorelai walked in
"whats wrong hon?"
"mommy.. I think im going to die" she laid her head down in her moms lap
"what happened?"
Rory explained what happened and just lay there letting her mom stroak her hair.
NEXT MORNING- RICHARDS FUNERAL
"Come on mom... we cant be late" Rory said heading out to the car
" Im coming!" *keep her mind off of tristan!* she told herself
They made it safely there and only made rory feel worse.. Tristan was there
"shit..mom, hes here"
"its okay, just stay with me"
The service started and all three gilmore girls were standing there crying. Rory feeling the guilt all over again.. *God I want to hold her. I want to be with her.. why are you doing this to me God?* Tristan thought
When the service ended, Tristan tried to talk to Rory
"Rory, please talk to me"
"tristan, just go away.. Please"
"not until you talk to me"
"Look, just go live your life.. go find a new girl to tease"
"Rory, I DONT want to go, I HAVE to go. You know I want to be with you"
"Well I guess we both lose this time" Rory went to find her mom
"you okay babe?"
"No.."
"Come on, lets get out of here" Rory broke down into tears
" I think I just lost him"
Jess walked in on lorelai and luke makin gout

"who is the other guy?"
"I- Uh, lets not talk about that"
