Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did, Chad would still be on the show, nad the kiss issue would have been much more complicated than that.

And if things don't get better?
Chapter One: Thinking about tomorrow
Rory sat on her bed, thinking back to the evening of the play, two days earlier. She was glad it was over with, but she still couldn't get out of her head the fact that Tristan was gone, forever. It wasn't relief, nor joy, nor it was sadness, or despair. She felt sorry for him. Sorry he had to go through all of this 'cause he didn't hang out with the right crowd.
What had happen to him this year? He came back from the summer a totally change man. Not that she really knew him to begin with, but they had started to become friends, and then she said she hated him. In the long run, she knew she didn't really mean it, but right then and there, she had to say it, she had to make Dean see that Tristan was nothing to her, well nothing more than a friend that is.
She hated this. She hated thinking about Tristan doing a stupid thing and being sent away. She knew he had a thing for her. Everyone knew he had a thing for her. She remembered the time Dean told her. She didn't want to believe him, but deep down she knew he was right. "I hope he didn't get sent away for me. I hope he'll be okay…" she thought.
God how she needed her mom right now. But she was on a date, with Luke. Her very first date with the obviously dumbstruck with love coffee man. She wished her mom would finally admit that she had feelings for Luke too. Like she wished she could have told Tristan that she didn't hate him. But now that he was gone, there was nothing she could do, nothing more that is. Maybe her life at Chilton would get easier, maybe now she could make some friends…
A.N. Okay I know, it's short. And it's probably been done before. You know the kind of story where Rory thinks about Tristan, and realises she loves him. But I'm gonna try and make it different this time around.
