They had been driving around for thirty minutes when Rory finally decided to say something.
"Tristan, what are you going to do?"
"I do not know. I'm not going to go back that much I know."
"Where are you going to stay?"
"Where ever my father goes."
"You still want to be with him?"
"He's my father. He has always been my father. My mother never really was there for me but he was. Not that I expect you to understand but my father and I are like one person. I do not know what I do with out him."
She looked at him sadly. "I know exactly what you mean. Do you really think he's not going to go to jail if you grandfather has his way."
He looked at her worried. "I have to stop him. Go back now! And hurry!"
"Do you really think you can?"
"I know he didn't do Rory. Believe me when I say I know he didn't do it."
Looking in his eyes she knew that everything he was saying was true.
"So what do you think?" Sasha asked as Luke took another sip.
"Not bad what did you do to my coffee?"
"Just did what I do. I can not cook if my life depended on it but I can defiantly make coffee."
"I will not deny that."
She took his coffee from him and put it behind her back.
"Now let's talk business."
"You took my coffee so we could talk business. I own the coffee I can just poor more."
He turned around to pour another cup and noticed the pot was gone. He turns around to face her. She was smiling. "Where is my pot of coffee?"
"I'll tell you when you agree to hire me."
"To do what?"
"To be a waitress here."
"Why should I?"
"Because if you look around you whole place is full and everyone has coffee and is happy and all because of me."
He looked around and she was telling the truth, the whole place was packed and everything had their orders.
"When did you do this?"
"While you were in the back getting ketchup I think."
"So the pot of coffee…"
"Is empty and being washed by Jess."
"How did you get Jess to wash anything?"
"Easy, I bet him."
"Bet him what?"
"Give me the job and I'll tell you all the secret to get Jess to work."
"Deal."
"Thanks." Lorelai said as Max pulled up to her house.
"For what?"
"For picking me up with out asking questions."
"Oh that I do that for all the pretty girls I know."
"Oh you do?"
"Yes, let me see their names are…."
She put her hand up. "If you say Sasha and kill this moment you won't make it home in one peace."
He laughed. "Ok, deal. Now can we go inside?"
She gave him a look. "Now what could you possibly have in mind for us tonight?"
"Lot's of fun, just you and me and a bed."
"Well then why waste any more time." She said with a smile.
Rory and Tristan pulled up to his house. There were police vehicles around his house. He got out and ran towards the door Rory ran after him. The policeman stopped him.
"You can not go in there."
"Why?" Rory asked knowing Tristan could not find the words.
"A man killed himself here tonight."
"Are you sure?" Rory asked.
"Yes, he shot him self there was even a note. Look I'm sorry but I can not tell you anymore without risking…"
"It's ok. Thank you, Officer." Rory said. She turned to Tristan who was already heading back to the jeep.
She got in. "Tristan…."
He turned on the radio.
"When you feel all alone and the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold…"
Rory turned it down. "Tristan, are you ok?"
"He said he wasn't good at long good byes. He was trying to tell me what he was going to do. If only I had been there."
She looked him in the eyes. "Do not blame yourself. You had now way of knowing."
He turned away, the tears were coming too fast and he could not stop them.
"When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can not take any more
Let be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away in to the night
If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broke hard
If you need to crash and burn then you're not alone…"
She knew he was crying but what was she supposed to say. There were no words that she could possibly say now that would heal his pain. "Tristan, you do not have to hide your tears…"
He turned around to face her. "How…"
"I would be crying if I was in your position. You can cry in front of me…"
"I know, I just have to be strong…"
"Not with me.."
"When you feel all alone and a loyal friend is hard to find
You call it a one way street with the monsters in you head
When hopes and dreams are far away and you feel like you can not face the day
And you feel like you can not take any more
Let be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away in to the night."
Looking in to her eyes he knew it was true. He let all of his tears fall. He could taste the salt in his mouth now. He didn't know what he wanted her to do but when she hugged him, he knew that she knew.
"If you need to fall apart I can mend a broke hard
If you need to crash and burn then you're not alone
There has always been heartache and pain and when it's over your breath again
Your breath again."
Finally he spoke. "I can not go home. I do not know where…"
She cut him off. "You can stay at my house."
"Why would you…?"
"I told you this was a start of a beautiful friendship and I meant. Besides I wasn't going to leave you any way."
"Thank…."
She cut him off. "Do not, just be there for me when our places are reversed."
"I promise."
She started the jeep and headed home. Tristan turned up the radio again.
"When you feel all alone and the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart
Let be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up out to the night
If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broke hard
If you need to crash and burn then you're not alone
Let be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away in to the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broke hard
If you need to crash and burn then you're not alone"
The song said everything their hearts could not find the words for.
