Chapter 15: The Door
Gretchen and Katie checked every channel on TV. Twenty minutes had passed and they still haven't found what they wanted to watch.
While watching a special E! Entertainment they heard a knock on the door. They didn't know whether to answer it or not.
"Who do you think that could be?" Gretchen asked.
"Well, it's not them, Rory has her own key." Katie said. "Go get it." She was too lazy to get up off the couch.
"Fine, but if it is some estranged murderer and he kills me, you're next on his list." Gretchen said while walking to the door.
"Haha, That's funny." Katie said from the living room.
"Who is it?" Gretchen asked the person in the hallway.
"It's Dean. I'm looking from Rory. Is she home?" He asked through the door.
Gretchen unlocked the door and opened it. "Hi, I'm Gretchen. Rory's not home right now."
"OK, well can you tell her that I stopped by?"
"Sure Dean." Gretchen said with a big smile.
"Thanks Gretchen. That'd be great."
"I'll tell her, bye." She said right before she had closed the door. Gretchen had walked back into the living room, with this sedate look on her face.
"Who was that??"
"Huh?" Gretchen got hit back into reality when she heard Katie. "Oh. A friend of Rory's, Dean."
"A guy really? Was he cute?"
"He wasn't that bad looking. But certainly not cuter that Tristan."
"Cool. So when do you think they will be back?" Katie asked.
"I don't know. They have only been gone for about an hour." Gretchen said before returning to changing the channels.
~~~~~ At the Bar ~~~~~
While sitting at the bar with the others Rory was enjoying herself. She was on her 5th vodka shot. * Could this night get any worse? * She thought it to herself.
" Ok, Rory, I think you have had enough." Lane said to her after Cat pointed out how bad she looked.
Annie decided to get paper towels to help Rory. While she was up Rory was getting testy.
"What do you know, what I am going though." Rory said in protest.
"What's up with you now?" Cat asked her.
"God, I-we-he wasn't even thinking about us. He just called her and forgot about everything." Rory said to her.
Cat looked at Rory then at her beer. She had one beer but still she had no clue what Rory was talking about.
Rory continued saying, "You know, Tristan called Annie. He didn't even wait it out for more then a day or less then an hour. He called her 5minutes after the problem."
Cat shook her head as if she remembers. Oh she remembered all right. But that wasn't why she was shaking her head. She noticed someone standing behind Rory.
Annie had walked back into the conversation when Rory started telling Cat about what was up. And that was whom Cat was shaking her head at.
Rory turned around and saw Annie right in front of her. She didn't know what to say to her. She wasn't angry with her. She was mad at Tristan. She just couldn't deal. She was fed up with everything. She couldn't deal so she stood up from her seat and left.
Annie didn't want to upset her friendship with Rory because of Tristan. She had followed the tipsy Rory outside of the bar to the car. * Rory wasn't going to drive home * Annie thought. "Rory wait up!" She had called out to her. When she did Rory didn't bother to turn around. She just kept on going. "Rory come on stop!" she said.
Rory stopped and said to Annie "Why? Why Annie? I am not mad at you. Why are you following me? I came out here for air, I don't want to talk."
"But Rory we need to talk about it." Annie told her.
"We don't have to talk about anything. Tristan is the one I really need to talk to." Rory said while leaning against her car.
"More then you know Rory. Just hear me out about Tristan."
"Ok, Annie."
~~~~~ Rory's Apartment ~~~~~
Gretchen and Katie where still watching the Matrix. They looked at all the other channel and still found nothing on. They were getting kind of bored. Actually Gretchen was the only bored one. She had ended up going to sleep. Katie was still awake because it was just too early and also because she ate all the Twizzlers.
While Katie was up she heard the door knock. She didn't know who it was. But she was too lazy to get up, so she screamed to the person "Who is it?"
"It's Katerina." She screamed back.
When Katie screamed that woke up Gretchen.
"What's going on?" She asked a stunned Katie who was walking to the door.
" Katerina's here!" Katie told her.
"Is she really here?" She told Katie who was opening up the door.
"I thought that you couldn't make it." Katie said while walking her to the living room. "Katerina are you really here?"
"Is there a spoon?" Inference to the movie they were watching. Katerina had to say the joke.
"There is no spoon." Katie told her right back and gave her a hug.
Gretchen stood up to give Katerina a hug and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I wanted to surprise you guys; are at least you two surprised?"
"Are you kidding, absolutely." Katie said.
"So where are the others?" Katerina asked.
"Oh they went out, to where I had no idea." Gretchen told her.
~~~~~ At the Bar ~~~~~
Kat and Lane where sitting inside waiting for then to come back inside.
While outside Annie and Rory were still talking about Tristan.
"It doesn't really bother me. I mean I really like Tristan. And you two are just friends. It doesn't bother me, really." Rory told Annie.
" I know he probably just did that because he was angry and lots of things were going on in his head. Don't take it personally." Annie was going to say something very serious but she could find the words. They just came out funny. "One time.at band camp."
Rory and Annie both started laughing.
Annie stopped laugh and told Rory what she needed to say. "Just kidding. No, but really there was this on time at the beach, Tristan was angry with this girl that he tried to make friends in his sophomore year. While trying to forget about her we kind of had something."
"You and Tristan went out together?" She was shocked but wasn't going to hold a grudge. It was years ago.
"Yeah but only for one summer. It was only meant as a summer fling. Because he really liked that girl he had met in school. It didn't really bother me."
"You mean me?"
"Yeah you. Rory you are his world."
"Thanks Annie." Rory said and gave her a hug. "Hey do you think we could head home?"
"Yeah, I'll go get the others."
Annie ran back inside to the bar to get them. Cat asked her "She everything all right?"
"Everything is fine. I told her everything." Annie said.
"Good I am glad. But why isn't she here with you." Lane said
"She's outside waiting. She wants to go home."
"Hey you have to tell me twice. Plus all the guys in here are old." Cat right back to her.
"Ok, come on then." Annie told them.
Within a few minutes they all came out. Rory gave her keys to Annie and went home.
