"Thanks mom"
There was a knock at the door "Knock knock" Lorelai answered the door to see Luke in a Tux and Jess in slacks, a white button down shirt and a tie.
"wow" she said
"wow" rory said
Luke handed a rose to each of them, Jess handed them each another one
"Jess, you're coming" she panicked
"calm down Ror, I heard you practice yesterday, you're exposed"
"okay then"
"Good luck Rory" Luke said
SHOWTIME
Lorelai, Luke and Jess sat front row so She could see them. She frantically got ready for the show and finally took her place on stage
Unfortunately her teacher changed her program to her solo first.
"Rory, change of plans, your solo is first"
"What?!?!" she panicked
" I know, Im sorry" she hurried and left
"Hey" Tristan came behind her
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"wishing you goodluck" he kissed her cheek
"thanks" she felt chills down her body and felt nervous
"I'll be out there" he turned and left
"welcome ladies and gentlemen, we have changed our program, our soloist Rory Gilmore will perform first. a week ago, I thought our chances for 1st place was impossible, until Rory was put in my class, though God KNOWS she didnt want to, she is our best chance we have. here is our soloist, Rory Gilmore performing "only hope"
Rory stepped upo and got nervous. She looked for her mom and quicly found her.
"I love you" lorelai mouthed
Rory smiled and listened to the into to her music and heard her part come
"Theres a song thats inside of my soul its the one that ive tried to write over and over again im awake in the infinate cold but you sing to me over and over again.
So I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray- to be only yours I know now, you're my only hope

so I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray, to be only yours I know now, you're my only hope hmm... mm. hmmm ohh.. ohh..ohh.
Rory finished her song and was overwhelmed with cheers and whistles Luke had tears in his eyes, and started a standing ovation, everyone followed
Loreali who noticed his tears, hugged his arm. "Wow" luke though.. Rory is good, I cant believe this little girl I saw grow up did this" he thought
Lorelai was in awe "she did it" she said to herself
Tristan knew then and there that he was addicted to Rory Gilmore. He had stood in the back and video taped the whole thing
Jess was amazed. He had lied about hearing her, he wanted to be there and see her.
Emily sat there struck by the events. She knew that Rory was going to sing, but she had NO idea that she was that good. "there is so much that I dont know about her that I should"
The rest of the show went on very well. They sang, Do you believe in magic, one voice, and amazing grace. all of them had rory a featured soloist.
LUKES
The car ride home was silent after rory said she needed to calm her nerves. Luke offered coffee to her, so they met up there.
"here you go" Luke handed her a cup of coffee
"Thanks Luke- you're a god"
"No problem"
"Hey rory, who was that blonde writting an article?" Jess asked
Rorys face froze "wh..what?"
"the long blonde hair chick"
"Paris?"
"Yeah, thats it"
"Mom.. she wrote an article"
"Ror, calm down, it'll be ok"
"Okay, I did alright, right?"
"Rory! you did excellent!" Jess exclaimed
Dean walked in the closed door
"Hey Ror, how did it go?"
"it went fine" Dean looked around and saw everyone dressed up
"You let them all go?" he yelled
"No! I invited Luke because, well for my own reasons, one of which, hes heard me, and Jess over heard me the other day, so he came too"
"But I couldnt go?" He screamed
"No! I didnt want more people going than I had to" rory ran out crying and headed home
"GET OUT!!!" Luke barked
CHILTON.. NEXT DAY
Rory was overwhelmed with how many people congratulated her and told her how well she did. She opened her locker to find a dozen roses. Next to it was a large cup of coffee "Tristan" she whispered
Dean walked by and saw them "who the hell sent MY girlfriend flowers?" he blew up
"a friend"
"was it tristan?"
"I dont know" she looked at the ground
"are you cheeting on me?"
"no" she was shocked to hear that
" you slut!" he yelled
Tristan came up to him and slammed him against the lockers
"appologize" he sid in a fierce tone
"No"
"Do it NOW" he shoved him harder. Dean winced
"Im sorry"
"Dean, we're over" rory said
"But I love you"
"No you dont, you just like it that you have a girlfriend thats beautiful that every guy would kill to have and follow her around"
"yeah, no kidding" rory walked off
Tristan grabbed her coffee from the locker and followed her down the hall
"you left this" he held it out for her
"Thanks" she greatfully took a gulp
"Hey rory.. there is something that I need to tell you, but I cant"
"Whats wrong?, I thought we could tell eachother everything" Rory was getting worried now. She was hopeing that whatever was about to come out of his mouth was something they could fix, she couldnt imagine life without him. she cared about him alot, but lately she felt chills everytime he touched her, but she didnt want to lose their friendship
"I know.. I know I should be able to tell you everything- but" he stopped mid sentence and kissed her. he used his tongue to open her mouth. Rory pulled away after the shock
"whao!" she put out her hands
"Im sorry Rory, but I-"
"you what?"
"I love you"
"you what?!?!" she was getting scared
"I'm sorry."
"Tristan.. I care.. i really do- but I dont want to ruin our friendship."
"but this will only make it better!"
"Tristan, Just let me think.. Im confused"
"Its either you love me or you dont" he said sounding upset
" I.. I .. I dont know, who knows? maybe this feeling ive been having is love.. I just dont know"
"let me know when you know" he walked off and out of school.
*hes just going to cool off* Rory thought
TRISTANS CAR
"God!! I knew I shouldnt have told her- she wasnt ready!" he slamed his fists on the wheel. His eyes were getting blurry and he rounded the corner. He ran head on to a car that didnt yeild.
CHILTON
Rory sat in English and wondered where Tristan was, but then her cell phone rang *how did it get turned on?* she whispered she took the phone to the hall, Ignoring Mr. Medinas evil stare.. it was Tristan
"Hello?"
"Rory, I need your help" he was crying from the pain
"whats wrong?" her eyes started to water
"theres been an accident"
"are you okay?"
"I need you to hurry and call the police for me, Im right by the starbucks..My phone is going dead
"Are you okay?" Tristan groaned from the pain
"Theres so much blood rory"
"Im on my way" Rory ran in her class room and grabbed her stuff "its an emergency"
Rory drove like a bat out of hell, and called an ambulace, she saw 2 cars tipped over, she saw tristan in his car
"Tristan" she ran to his car
"Rory?" he whispered
"Yeah, can you get out?"
"My leg is caught"
"okay, Hold on"
"Rory I cant feel my toes" he cried softly
"Its okau.. Im gonna get you out" she pulled the jammed door open and the door broke off, she saw the dash board dented pinning his leg under it
"Tristan, im going to lift this, can you move your leg when I do?" he nodded
She began to lift, he screamed, he couldnt move it out, so she used her arm to prop it up and her other to move his leg
"I know baby, just hang in there"
"she un buttoned his seat belt and started to pull him out. There was alot of blood around his hair and shirt.
"Tristan where are you bleeding at?" she asked frantically
"I dont know.. everything hurts" he whimpered
She looked at his shirt and saw shiny stuff on it, and a big rip. she lifted his shirt and found a big piece of glass in his gut, Tristan looked like she was about to pass out.
"Tris, i have to pull some glass out, can you feel this?" she touched it slightly and immediately he screamed
"hold my hand, Ive GOT to pull this out" Tristan laced his hand with hers and held it close to his heart. Rory counted to Three.. One. Two.. Thress. and pulled it free. Blood was flowing freely. she ran to her jeep and pulled out a coffee sweatshirt. she put it against him to put pressure on it
Rorys hands were shaking, there was so much blood. The ambulace showed up and loaded him in. The other car had a person in it, that only had some bumps and bruises.
HOSPITAL
Rory followed the ambulance there and followed them in. They made her wait in the waiting room. She treid to call her mom, but she couldnt get ahold of her, she tried Likes.
"Hello?" Luke answered
"luke, its Rory, is my mom there?"
"No, shes not, whats wrong?"
"Im at the hopspital, Tristan was in a car accident"
"Were you in it too?"
"No, he called me, its bad luke"
"im on my way, keep trying to get ahold of your mom"
Rory kept trying her cell moms cell phone, but it never picked up. Luke came running in.
"I got ahold of your mom, shes on her way"
Rory ran up to him and hugged him.
"Why did this happen?"
"I dont know.."
"its bad luke, he has a deffinate broken leg.. and there was so much blood"
Rory took off her school jacket that she put on to hide the blood stains everwhere."
"Oh my god Rory, you're covered in it"
"I know.."
"Hold on, let me see if i can get you some clothes" Luke ran to the nurses station
"Excuse me, My friend is covered in blood, do you have some extra scrubs that she can change into?"
"Im not supposed to, but she looks so scared.. sure" she went in back and got some scrubs that would fit her
"thanks" Luke ran to rory and handed her the scrubs
"thanks luke." she walked into the bathroom. she rufused to look at the mirror. she didnt want to see the blood. she changed as quickly as she could, and walked out with the bloody clothes in her hands, her eyes all red from crying.
"Come here" luke said to her
Rory sat down next to him and leaned on his arm, she fell asleep quickly
Lorelai ran in as fast as she could and found Rory in scrubs
"Luke, is she okay?"
"yeah, shes scared, she said it was bad, and I believe her..look" he whispered and pointed to her clothes
"Oh my god" she gasped
"There nurse said if Rory wasnt there, to free his leg and pull the glass out, he would have died"
"She pulled the glass from where?" Lorelai asked
"His Gut.." Lorelai gasped
"is Rory Gilmore out here?" the nurse asked Lorelai. she shook rory
"Hey babe.. the nurse needs to see you" Rory woke up remembering what was happening
"Yes Ma'am?"
"Did you bring Tristan DuGrey in?"
"Yes Ma'am"
"you saved his life by doing what you did" Rory looked at the ground, tears in her eyes "will he be okay?"
"Thanks to you, yes.. he has a mild concussion and a broken leg, and they stitched his gut, hes going to be sore for awhile"
"Thank you, can i see him?"
"if anyone asked, you're his cousin" she winked
TRISTANS ROOM
Tristan lay on his bed trying to remember how he got there
"hey" Rory said
"Hey angel"
"how are you?"
"Im alright, but i cant remember anything today"
"You dont remember?"
"No.. I dont.. tell me"
Rory debated it, should she tell him why he was upset, especially since she was confused if she loved him or not, she knew she cared.. alot.. and those chills
"Dean and I broke up" Tristan looked like he was a 2 year old opening his presents early
"Then um.. we had a little fingt and you went driving, you crashed your car and you called me"
"Why did i call you?"
"I dont know.."
"Im glad you did. The nurse told me I would have died without you"
"I know"
"Hey ror?"
"Yeah?"
"what did we fight about?"
"You uh. told me you loved me"
"Oh.." he looked down. I guess the reaction was bad?"
"Im just confused Tris.. You're my best friend, and i care for you alot more than you thing. but i cant help thinking its wrong to fall for you.. not that i havent already"
"maybe its the right kind of wrong"
"its wrong to love you"
"so does that mean that you love me?"
There was a knock at the door "Knock knock" Lorelai answered the door to see Luke in a Tux and Jess in slacks, a white button down shirt and a tie.
"wow" she said
"wow" rory said
Luke handed a rose to each of them, Jess handed them each another one
"Jess, you're coming" she panicked
