Finding her Romeo
Summary: The night of the play, Tristan never went through Bowman's dads safe and therefore did not get sent to Military school. Rory never told Dean that she was doing the play, let alone that she was doing the play with Tristan. One more thing… Jess never came to Stars' Hallow (please don't kill me)
Pairing: R/T it might be R/D for the first couple of chapters but then it will be R/T, I promise.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Gilmore Girls *tear tear*, but I wish that I did (don't we all?) They belong to the great people of the WB.
Authors Note: Thank you guys sooo much for all of the reviews. I am sorry for the long wait in between chapters, but as I said before, I had many reports to do (and I just got another one!) The work of a high schooler is never ending. I had many people tell me that they did or that they did not want recaps/previews, so the only solution that I could think of was to put both up and if you don't want to read them then just skip over them. If anyone is confused about when something takes place or the setting of the story, please read the first authors note. If you are still confused about something then feel free to email me and I will do my best to clarify it for you. (Chelle2006@aol.com) Anyway enough babbling from me, so without further ado, on with the show!
Chapter 2: More Fights and Sleepless Nights
~ Luke's ~
*Tristan, is that Tristan* Dean thought *Well, only one way to find out what he is up to*
Just as Dean was about to follow Tristan his cell phone rang.
-Dean/Nancy intercut-
Dean: "Hello"
Nancy: "Hi Dean, oh how I have missed you. Where are you? Are you home yet?"
Dean: "Hi mom, yes I have missed you too, I am at Luke's then I was going to see Rory"
Nancy: "I have not seen you for two weeks, you are going to come home…now. You can go see Rory after."
Dean: "Oh…ok mom, see you at home."
-End intercut-
Dean, having forgotten all about Tristan, went home. He was upset about not being able to see Rory.
~ The Crap Shack ~
The doorbell rang at 12:00 on the dot. *Oh that must be Paris, leave it to her to be exactly on time* Rory thought
"Hi Paris"
"Hi Rory. What wrong, you don't look too good? Are you sick?"
"No I'm fine, I just haven't had any coffee this morning because my mom broke the coffee maker"
"Oh if that's all…"
"That's all? That's all! You say it like it's not a big deal"
"Fine, fine I'm sorry, but its just coffee, right?"
"Just coffee!? Just coffee!!! It is not just coffee. Coffee is…coffee is a way of life, coffee is what keeps me alive, what keeps me going! Coffee is in no way, shape, or form 'just coffee'." Rory screamed
Paris raised her hands in surrender and backed away "Ok, ok I get it. Its not just coffee"
"Ok then, now that we have that cleared up" Rory said "Where is Tristan, he should be her already."
"Wait a minute…you actually want Tristan to be here?" Paris asked
"Yes…no…well yes, but just because he comes bearing gifts. I called him and made him get me coffee on his way over."
"Oh" Paris said
Just then the doorbell rang. *Yay Tristan is finally here…wait why do I want Tristan to be here…it must be because he has my coffee…yes that's it, isn't it*
"I'll get it, I'll get it, I'll get it!" screamed Rory. She ran to the door and threw it open.
"Well, well, well couldn't wait to see me huh Mary. I always knew that you loved me." Tristan said *Yeah right…I wish*
"Could you please check your ego at the door because I don't think that the house is big enough for it. Now where is the coffee…don't tell me that you forgot to get it. I won't let you in the house if you didn't get the coffee"
"Yea that would probably be a good thing, she gets pretty crazy without coffee…trust me." Paris said
"Don't worry, don't worry. I got it, it's just in the car."
"Oh good, then go and get it. Come on…go…chop chop." Rory yelled
Rory watched him go up to a brand new red Ferrari and bring out 2 large cups of coffee. Her face broke into a huge smile.
* I just love it when she smiles. God she is sooo beautiful. I love it even more when it is me that makes her smile. I wish that I could be the one that could make her smile all the time. She should be with me, not bagboy*
Tristan snaps back to reality when he notices that Rory is hugging him.
"Thank you, you are a god and not just any god, but the sacred god of coffee."
"I knew that you would come to your senses soon enough and realize what I truly am…a god."
Rory finally notices what an awkward position they were in, so she grabbed the coffee and started drinking them (backing away from Tristan in the process)
*Great job DuGrey, now you have scared her. You and your stupid ego*
"Why don't you come in, I'm sure that Paris wants to get right to work"
"Ok …sure"
They turn to walk inside and Rory sees a very angry Dean getting out of his car.
"I can't believe this, I really can't believe this" Dean screamed
"Tristan, why don't you go in the house." Rory said and the way she said it, he knew it was best just to listen to her.
"Dean, I didn't know that you were coming home today?"
"I bet you didn't, but you would have if you called or wrote to me…at all!"
"I was really busy…"
"Yeah, yeah. Rory how could you do this to me…and with the accountant of all people?"
"Tristan and I… no, no. Dean I would never. Tristan and Paris are just over because we are doing a play for school, you have to believe me. Dean, I love you!" *Wait…do I really love him, I mean he doesn't even trust me and we have had soo many fights lately. What am I saying, of course I love him…I think? * 'Yeah sure you love him but are you in love with him?' The voice in her head asked her.
Back inside the house Tristan winces when he hears Rory say that she loves bagboy.
Dean gets into his car and drives away. Rory comes in the house crying.
"Now that that's over, can we please get started on the play?" Paris asks
Rory and Tristan look at her dumbfounded. Rory runs into her bedroom crying.
"We are going to have to reschedule to study session another time Paris." Tristan says
"Fine, then we should go." Paris says
"You go ahead, I am going to make sure that Rory is all right."
Tristan walks to Rory's door and softly knocks.
"Who is it?"
"It's Tristan"
"Oh, ok you can come in"
"How are you doing? Dean was a jerk, he should have trusted you"
"I really messed up this time, I really hurt him."
"Rory, how can you say that? You did nothing wrong, if anyone is at fault here…it is Dean! He should trust his own girlfriend, especially after you told him that nothing happened."
"He is going to want to break up with me."
"No he's not, he will be back." *He'd be a fool not to come back*
"Thanks Tristan, you really helped make me feel better."
"Good, now lets get you to Luke's so you can get some food and coffee. You dropped your other one before you got to finish it."
"Ok, that would be nice."
~ Luke's ~
Once at Luke's Tristan finally gets Rory feeling better.
"Luke, can I have another coffee, please?"
"Sure Rory, but only because you are upset. As soon as you are feeling better than it's no more coffee for you, understand?"
"Oh…well then I don't think that I will be feeling better any time soon." Rory said to Tristan.
Just then Dean walks in.
"I don't believe this! Rory, this is twice in one day now!"
"Dean, wait!"
"No Rory…I don't want to hear it."
Dean leaves and Rory runs after him, leaving a crushed Tristan sitting in the booth. Luke walks over.
"The Gilmore's are special…they will make you deliriously happy one minute and grief stricken the next."
Tristan looks up and says
"Lorelai"
Luke nods
~ Rory/Dean ~
"Dean, wait up!"
"No Rory, I said no"
"But we need to talk"
"Well I don't want to talk right now, so we will have to do it later when I calm down some."
*Yeah right…he is always like this; overprotective, jealous, and temperamental…not to mention dumb! Why am I thinking this? He is your boyfriend and you love him, remember. Why do I have to keep reminding myself that I love him? *
Rory runs home, crying. She finally cries herself to sleep. While she is sleeping she dreams about Tristan.
~ DuGrey Mansion ~
Tristan was lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling.
"Why can't I stop thinking about her" *Because your in love with her, that's why. *
He couldn't fight it anymore, he was in love with Rory Gilmore, and he wasn't so sure that he wanted to fight it. There was only one more thing left to do…make her realize that she liked him too. No matter how hard he tried to fall asleep, he couldn't because thoughts of Rory filled his head. This was nothing new to him though, this had been happening for a long time now.
"Well, one thing is for sure, this is going to be another long, sleepless night." sighed Tristan

AN – Well that's it for the second chapter. So what did you think of it, great? Horrible? Somewhere in between? Let me know because, as I said before, I am my own worst critic. I want to thank CoffeeAddict4life for all of her help on this chapter. Without her it wouldn't have been posted nearly as quickly. I would also like to thank Babyblugoddess7389 and all of the other people who encouraged me to write this story; I couldn't have done it without you. You guys are great. Well until next time…
