Why do you build me up Buttercup?
Chapter Two
Untitled as of Now
**Recap** "Rory, we both know that you want to be with me as badly as I want to be with you. So why can't you be my girlfriend?" One word sums it all up for Tristan as Rory manages to choke it out. "Dean." She says in between hiccups which she has gotten trying to hold back the tears that are now freely falling down her face. As Tristan is leaning over Rory, trying to comfort her, Dean walks up with a scowl on his face. As soon as he notices Tristan leaning over a shivering crumpled Rory his fist takes over for his brain. "What did you do you rich little bastard? If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, stay the HELL away from MY girlfriend!!" He swiftly punches Tristan; square on the nose and then kicks him in the chest. Tristan lets out a moan and falls to the floor. Before his eyes close he weakly gasps out, "Rory!" and then he becomes silent. Through her wall of tears, Rory can see all that has happened between Tristan and Dean, and after Dean punches Tristan she runs over and crumples at the sight of Tristan, unconscious, with blood trickling out from the right side of his mouth. "I need you Tristan, you can't die. I won't let you. I love you too much," she whispers as Dean, in a rage, comes running swiftly at her with the same fist that he knocked out Tristan with, outstretched **End Recap** "Lorelei Leigh Gilmore-Hayden, I have taken way too many blows from you and your family in the past, now its time for you to take one for me." Dean laughs harshly as he swiftly punches Rory, knocking her to the ground where she lets out a last whimper, and crumples on top of Tristan. Tristan's band- mates see all that has gone on and Todd jumps out of the back of the truck. "Come On guys, Tristan's grandpa is on his speed dial, and Rory's mom is on hers. So who wants to tell Lorelei?" Everyone was too afraid to volunteer to tell Lorelei that her boyfriend had punched her, and her best friend, and they were now both unconscious, sprawled one on top of the other. So they drew straws. Brandon lost, so he grabbed Rory's phone, and called Lorelei's cell. "Mini-Me?" "No, Lorelei, it's Brandon." "Who?" "I'm Tristan's friend. We're in the band Honor Wounds together." (A/N: There's a punk band at my school called Honor Wounds) "Oh. Hi Brandon. Not that I don't like talking to you, because I do, but what the HELL are you doing on my daughter's cell-phone?" "Let's just say it's a life-threatening emergency involving her, Tristan, and a certain psychopathic, obsessed narcoleptic boyfriend of hers, otherwise known as Dean Forester, and that you should get over here a.s.a.p" As soon as Lorelei heard that, she hung up the phone. "Come on Chris. Something happened to Rory. Tristan's friend Brandon called just now, and based on all the names that he was calling Dean, I'll bet he did something to Rory and Tristan." (A/N: Cheesy I know, but a little cheese is good every once in a while.) "Oh my God, is she okay?' Chris said. He was beginning to get anxious. Then again, who wouldn't be anxious in this situation? "No Chris, I don't think so. Brandon said that it was a life-threatening situation. Forget about dinner. We really need to go." "Ok" "Put it on my tab Luke!" Lorelei called as they almost flew out of the diner in Star's Hollow, toward their mansion in Hartford. Lorelei floored the car almost the entire way to their house and she had a very determined look, almost like a grimace expressed on her face. They pulled up to the house where Tristan's grandfather and all of the guys in his band and the paramedics were already waiting. Rory was sitting up, slightly bloodied and with a dazed look on her face, but Tristan was nowhere in sight. Lorelei ran to her daughter and hugged her tightly, closely followed by Chris who had been talking to Janlen DuGrey. "Hey sweetie. What happened to you guys?" "I was talking to Tristan cause he came by to surprise me, and then Dean came up and got really mad cause he saw Tristan leaning over me and he hit him. Then he got all weird, and he hit me too. I blacked out before I saw where he went." "Back it up little missy. Why was Tristan leaning over you? It sounds to me like Dean had a right to be upset. Granted, not kick his ass like Jet Li in those cool movies but" "Mom!" "Oh, right, we're getting off topic. Okay, so why was Tristan leaning over you, as previously asked?" "Because I was crying and he was just being a good best friend and asking why." "Why were you crying?" "Because we were talking about this really sad book that we read in class, and because he brought me a present because he figured that I would be bored waiting for Dean to call me." "I wish I had him for a best friend." Lorelei pouted. "Well, you've got me and Sookie and Dad." "Yeah but Tristan's so damned cool. Where is he anyway Rory?" "He.um.he's in a coma. Dean hit him really, really hard. Then he kicked him. His arm is broken and they don't know if.if he'll." "Oh Rory, Tristan will make it. He'll make it because he knows that you need him too badly. You and I both know that and so does he." Lorelei tried comforting Rory, but to no avail. "Yeah Mom, you are right. We know that and he knows it, but we also don't know what is going to happen because obviously we didn't see this coming. Besides, they know more about his 'medical condition' than we do. Face it; the last thing he may have ever seen will be me crying because I couldn't be his girlfriend. Do you have any idea how long that will haunt me?" "Ror," Lorelei tried to break in. "No don't 'Ror' me! I have known him since before kindergarten, and I know what is behind that façade he puts on for everyone else, and I know that he is a wonderful man who doesn't deserve to die because of my jealous, overprotective bastard of a boyfriend." "Would you like me to take you to the hospital Rory?" Chris comes in rescuing Lorelei. She mouths a silent thank you as Rory tearfully nods. Rory, understandably, is silent through the car trip except for the uninhibited sobs she lets out once every 3 or four minutes. At the hospital she runs up to the Nurse's station. "Please.DuGrey.room number!" she gasps out. "Are you a family member?" a girl with a slightly nasal voice and way too much make-up asked without even looking up at Rory. She knew that she would never get in so she silently prayed that the girl wouldn't question her when she said yes. "Yes. I'm, his, uh.fiancé yeah. We just got engaged." "Oh, well, congrats. He is in room 502 on the 3rd floor, in the ICU unit." "Thank you," Rory gulped out and started to cry again as she walked away towards the elevator. ICU. That meant that his condition was deadly serious. She just hoped that he would make it through for her. She certainly didn't want to remember him being upset at her right before he died. She wanted to cry as soon as she entered the room that the nurse had told her was Tristan's. She saw him in the bed, his messy blonde hair plastered to his forehead. He looked so pale and sickly that it was hard for her to believe that this was the man who had, only hours ago been singing and dancing for her, and pleading for her to be his girlfriend, something which she wanted so badly, but couldn't do because she was involved with Dean. Now she wasn't so sure that she wanted to be involved with him. The room in which the man she loved lay was so un-Tristan, that it scared her. When he woke up, he would certainly demand that some things be changed. For a person so vibrant and full of life, the vomit colored walls and drab brown curtains didn't suit him at all. He would be upset when he woke up. She went over to his side and sat down on the edge of the bed. She lay her head down on his chest and the tears began to fall freely. Tristan, still a little bit groggy from all the medication he had been given was startled to taste warm salty water, which was streaming down his face. He tried to open his eyes but couldn't. There was something on top of him. His first reaction was to cry out for help, but he realized that the object was a human form. And the only person who would lie down on top of him without even thinking that they could potentially injure him was his best friend in the world Rory Gilmore. She got up to leave but as she turned to close the door, she heard him cry out in a muffled voice, "Mary!"
