Chapter 10- Here we go!

*Please leave a review. I see it somewhat pitiful that I only got 35 reviews when I have 10 chapters out. I have been delaying because I don't have any motivation so give me some! I have about 3-5 chapters all written. I just need that push to put it up. I need to reach 50 before I put number 11 up! ( I am not harsh. Just jealous of all the other fanfics that get all these reviews. Okay, maybe I am. I need more coffee)
A nurse came in to take Rory into a wheel chair. Tristan followed her while Lorelai stayed behind to sign all the papers. She handed her Jeep keys to Tristan. "Take my car. I want Rory to get home as soon as possible."

Tristan handed his keys for his BMW to Lorelai. "It's the silver BMW parked right outside."

Lorelai's eyes widened. "Can I drive it around?"

Tristan laughed. "If you want to, go ahead."

Then he ran after the nurse. When they got outside, he spotted the Jeep and helped Rory into the car. Then he loaded the wheel chair, thanked the nurse, and got into the car. "Are you ok?"

"I've felt better. Thank you so much for what you did."

"No problem."

Then Rory looked into Tristan's eyes. "Tristan, why were you at my house?"

Tristan thought for a split second and said smoothly, "I needed some help with calculus and I remembered that Jeff was coming over to study, so I thought 'What the hell' and came over."

"Oh. Well, I am happy that you came. Do you want me to help you now?"

Tristan's face lit up. "Yeah, that would be great!"

Rory then pouted. "Tristan, I'm hungry."

Tristan laughed. "What do you want to eat?"

"I don't know. Can't we just go through a drive thru and buy something really fast?"

"Sure."

Tristan went into a Carl's Jr. "Rory, what do you want?"

"Cheeseburger, large fries, and a chocolate milkshake."

"Can I get a cheeseburger, chicken burger, 2 large fries, a large coke, and a chocolate milkshake."

"Drive up the window."

"Thank you."

While waiting for the car in front of him, Rory started to fidget.

"Mary, what's wrong now?"

Rory sighed. "I am looking for my wallet."

"Mary, I am paying for this ok?"

"Bible boy, I want to pay for it."

"Too bad Mary." Tristan drove up to the window only to see a very attractive blonde.

"Here is your. Tristan?!"

"Hi Cassidy."

Rory looked at the person in the window. When she saw Cassidy, she sighed knowing that Tristan would flirt.

"So Tristan, how have you been lately?" Cassidy asked, leaning over, completely ignoring Rory who sat beside him.

Tristan looked a bit stiff. "I am fine. Look, my girlfriend and me are hungry so can you just give me the food?"

Cassidy looked at Rory with an evil look. She threw the food at Tristan and didn't even give Tristan his change back. Tristan just drove away.

"Well that was awkward." Rory said silently.

"Sorry about that. I didn't even know she worked there."

"Who was she?"

"Just some girl I went out with once."

"Oh." Rory looked a bit distracted. "Tristan, why did you say I was your girlfriend?"

"A slip of tongue. And, it's the easiest way to get rid of girls like that."

"Oh." Rory's face fell because she felt as though it might have been possible that he actually liked her. Rory hated to admit it, but since the kiss at sophomore year, she felt as though she might actually like Tristan. The feeling faded after he left for military school, but as soon as she got the letter, she thought back on those feelings.

Tristan wanted to kick himself. A perfect opportunity to tell her and he let is slip away. But he already had a plan all laid out, a plan that he thought would definitely get Rory's heart.

If they only knew that telling each other how each of them felt would have been enough.
"Rory, you have 20 minutes until Tristan gets here so HURRY UP!" Lorelai yelled at her daughter.

"I am trying to. But I can't find my blouse!"

Lorelai barged into Rory's room to see a handicap Rory, who was in her wheel chair, wheeling around her room. Lorelai couldn't help but laugh. "Mini-me, you are turning more like me everyday." She pointed the Rory's lap. "You have it right there."

Rory looked at her lap and laughed. "What in the world is happening to me?"

Rory quickly buttoned her blouse and got her blazer on while Lorelai went into the kitchen to pack Rory's stuff up. Right then, the doorbell rang.

"What kind of insane person would come this early?" Lorelai then walked to the front door to see a man with dozens of bouquets of flowers.

"Hello Lorelai. I heard that Rory's is hurt. It's been all over town that Rory is injured so these flowers have been sent to here. There are a lot more in the car."

Lorelai had to laugh. "Rory, Ms. Patty spotted you!"

Rory wheeled to the front door. "Oh my God!"

The flower deliverer looked worried. "Rory, are you ok?"

"I am fine Joe. I have to get ready for school."

Joe laughed. "It is just like you to still want to go to school even though you are hurt. Where do you want me to put these?"

"In the living room is fine."

Joe made 5 trips, with flowers, chocolate, stuffed animals, and cards.

Lorelai gasped. "Wow, someone sent 10 pounds of chocolate!"

Rory laughed. "Don't worry mom, half of it is yours."

Then a black Lincoln Navigator pulled into their driveway. A handsome blonde boy stepped out in his Chilton uniform.

"Looks like your ride is here princess."

Rory laughed. "I still can't believe that he drove all the way here."

Tristan walked to the front porch, only to be blocked with gifts. "Wow, all this for me?"

Ror smiled. "You wish Tristan. Although." Rory picked up a bouquet of white roses and plucked out the card. "These are for you. Thank you so much. I can't believe that was all yesterday."

Tristan wanted to reject the roses, but Rory pushed them into his hand. "Take them, it will make me feel better if you did."

Tristan received them and put his hand on the wheelchair. "And we are off Mary."

Lorelai laughed. "Classic."

Tristan helped Rory into the car and pushed the wheelchair into the trunk. Then he stepped into to car, and left the driveway.

The two were bantering in the car even before Tristan turned the keys. If they would have looked up, they would seen Lorelai in the front porch, smiling. *Those two are meant for each other. *
