Chapter Eight: Wait, what?
I found him at the bridge, still not really sure what I was doing. What about Jess? That question repeated itself over and over, like it was trying to make me feel guilty. It was a question for crying out loud. But I did feel incredibly guilty.
"Hey," I said, softly
"What are you doing here? Is Jess behind one of the bushes ready to mock me?" He asked.
"No. I just came to – I well…" Why am I here? I sat down next to him, trying to clear my head.
"What about Jess?" He asked.
"I like Jess, Tristan." I replied.
"Then why are you here?" He asked. I don't know!
I shrugged. He smirked. "Jess is a great guy." Tristan snorted. "I'm sorry. Was that jealousy?"
"Hot damn, Gilmore. I saw you looking at me in the diner."
"Oh, please." I dismissed.
"Then why are you here?" He enunciated. Stop asking me that!
"I-I don't know…" Out of nowhere he kissed me. My mind was screaming Jess! Jess! Jess! And this was not Jess. I broke the kiss and stared at him, terrified.
"Tristan." I said, in a warning tone. And then I ran.
How? Could? He? Man! That stupid kiss! That stupid Tristan! That stupid military school letting him out. I have to tell Jess. No question. He could do a Dean and break up with me if I don't. Or he could do a normal and break up with me if I do.
5:00 pm: I enter Luke's Diner, and I see my handsome boyfriend, Jess Mariano cleaning tables.5:02 pm: Jess looks up at me and smiles. Man, I feel bad.
5:03 pm: Jess tells me has something to tell me, at the exact same time I do.
"I have something to tell you." Jess and I said in unison.
"You first." We said together. We both laughed, nervously, and fear took over.
Here goes. "I kissed Tristan." Quick and painless, right. Wait, Jess said something to…
Rewind:
RORY: I kissed Tristan.
JESS: I kissed Shane.
What?
