~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Tristans POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Tristan stepped out of the plane, he was greeted by his long time driver/manny/friend, a polite gay guy named George. "Tristan! Its so great you're home!" George said very enthusiastically. Inside, Tristan was screaming, but he still managed to smile and give George a hug.
Once inside the black Escalade, George attempted to make conversation, but Tristan just stared out the window and thought. He thought about what he should do tonight, whether he should call up his old friends, there was probably some party or club they were going to. They would be glad to have him back & except the same Tristan would get drunk off his ass and sleep with anyone who breathed.
But Tristan wasn't like that anymore, and there was only one thing he really wanted to do. Tristan wanted to see Rory. He wanted to talk to her, to stare into her bright blue eyes and caress her pale skin. So Tristan decided what he would do. He would go see her in Stars Hollow, so what if she still had a boyfriend? It had never been a problem for him with other girls.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Rory POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rory slept late and found a post-it note from Mom on my forehead. It read: Hey Rory! Time to wallow, there's plenty of Ben & Jerry's in the fridge, Phish Food, New York Super Fudge Chunk, Chunky Monkey, Chocolate & Vanilla. Luke dropped by lots of boxes for you, that Jess left for you. Lucky Girl! Instead of 1 Jess box, you're getting like 5 of them!!! Anyway, its off to work I go! Get some coffee at Lukes, I'll be at the inn all day. XOXOXO Mom
Erghhhhh. There was no way she wanted to go to Luke's without seeing Jess there. It would be too painful, there were too many memories and kisses shared there.
Instead, Rory walked into the kitchen and grabbed the container of Phish Food and a spoon. After taking it to the porch swing, she opened up a box to look inside.
Rory discovered a note "look in box labeled X for my letter." After making a mental note to do that later, she looked further inside. Jess had left her all his books. She saw Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, and even a copy of one of Rory's Plath books he had forgotten to give back.
Tears ran down Rorys face as she saw the word Dodger circled in one book, a note to her about a dialogue in another, more and more remnants of him were revealed as she opened the other boxes and discovered more books.
Finally, Rory got to the box marked "X", she discovered the elusive letter and stuck it into her pajama pant pocket for later. This box did not contain books, there was Jess' favorite Metallica T-Shirt, a bunch of his cd's, and another letter marked, "To be read on first day at Yale." The tears continued to flow and Rory opened up the ice cream.
Rory ignored the signs of a car driving up, she figured it was probably one of the many townspeople checking to see if she was okay. After someone walked up the steps and cleared their throat, Rory figured it was Dean. "Go back to your fiancée Dean," she muttered.
"Wow, Deans engaged?" asked a puzzled Tristan, "Is that why you're so upset?"
Rory looked up, everyone in Stars Hollow knew that Dean was engaged and knew why she was upset, who could this be?
"Oh my god! Tristan?!?!" She shrieked after seeing his blonde hair, blue eyes and strongly built body.
"Hey Mary" he said affectionately.
"What no mean joke, no rude snide?"
"What's wrong with you Rory? Why are you crying and eating ice cream in your pajamas at 1 in the afternoon?"
"It's called wallowing" she informed him.
"What do you have to wallow about? Did that damn stockboy hurt you? Cuz if he did."
"Tristan, why are you here? I thought you were in North Carolina!"
"One word Rory: Graduation"
"oh yeah! But why did you come to see me?"
Tristan felt like he was going to burst, but he knew it was too soon to tell her of his true feelings, "Well I don't want to go back to my old crowd, and anyways Ror, I have always thought of you as a friend. Don't you feel the same? Wait---you are the one with the dreams about me! Of course you missed me! 'Oh Tristan! Please come back! I need you, I want you oh baby oh baby!' "
"Oh shut up Tris!"
"Only if you tell me why you're so upset."
"Erghh! Fine! You remember Dean, right?"
"Yeah."
"okay well a few months after you left Luke's nephew Jess moved here from New York City" A lump caught in Rorys throat.
"I was still dating Dean, but I got to be better & better friends with Jess. One night, I was helping Jess study and we were going to take my car out. It was the car Dean made me. I let Jess drive and we crashed. I broke my wrist. Luke sent Jess back to New York."
Trsitan could tell this was hard for her.
"On the day of my Mom's graduation, I went to see him, Chilton uniform and all. I don't know why, I just had this sudden urge to talk to him and to see his face"
Tristan could understand, that's how he felt about Rory today.
" He came back on the day of Sookie, my mom's best friend's, wedding. I was still with Dean, but I kissed Jess."
Tristan sighed deeply, remembering his kiss with Rory.
"I spent the summer in Washington with Paris. When I got back, Jess was with some blonde slut, no let me rephrase that, he was like on top of her, full out making out. Dean was happy to see me but I wasn't happy to see him. I stayed with Dean for a little bit though, and he dumped me in the fall because he could tell I liked Jess. I talked to Jess afterwards and told him. So then he dumped Shane and we were together."
Tristan nodded, "so he was your boyfriend?"
"Yup, but noooooooow, now he's gone and Dean is engaged to some prick." Rory started to sob uncontrollably.
Tristan was curious the circumstances of him leaving, but just pulled Rory closer and hugged her, "Shhh, it will be okay, Jess was stupid to leave you and so was Dean, don't cry"
They just sat there like that together, and that's how Lorelai found them when she arrived home.
