Chapter 17- A Walk to Remember
*~*~*~*
Rory looked at the clock.
*6:50 *.
She wasn't sure of what she was so worried about. It was just Tristan, one of her newest and closest friends.
*But you like him. *
Rory didn't know what was happening but lately, every time she was close to Tristan, she felt happier, safer, and as though they were the only people in the world. She felt oblivious to everything else. The time they spent together was the highlight of the day.
*But I can't like him! This is Tristan! *
But she knew the truth. As much as she had hated to admit it, she was falling for her best guy friend. Tristan was the only person that kept her mind off of her recent lack of love.
*Too bad he doesn't like me. *
It was true that Tristan did not have a flavor of the week and flirted less, but he never made a move on Rory.
*I guess I just am not good enough for him. *
She thought of telling him but didn't want to destroy what she already had with him. She didn't tell anyone yet. She had just recently figured this out. She wanted to talk this out with either Lorelai or Lane but wasn't sure if they would understand. The doorbell rang.
*Here goes nothing. *
Rory opened the door to see Tristan clad in an Abercrombie shirt and khakis. He was smiling and handed her a bag full of junk food and videos.
"You know that the door is always open right?"
"My hands were full."
"But you had a hand to ring the doorbell?"
Tristan smirked.
"I just wanted you to get off your lazy butt."
Rory laughed.
"I am not lazy!"
Tristan rolled his eyes.
"You are also extremely stubborn."
"Am not."
"Whatever Mary."
Rory gave him a glare. She actually didn't hate that name that much anymore but felt somewhat obligated to glare at him or say something. She actually liked it, because she felt as though it was their special bond name.
"Mean Bible Boy."
Rory started to dig through the selection of videos.
"Gladiator."
"It has this strange love thing and has action."
"Fast and Furious."
"Cars and also this small love thing."
"And Paul Walker."
"What, am I not good enough for you Mar?"
"I guess not. Anyhow, umm, Tristan, have you gone insane?"
"About?"
"A Walk to Remember?"
"I thought she was hot in that movie."
"Awww, Tristan has a soft spot for this movie. Admit it, you love this movie!"
"I do not. I bet you do though."
"Although Shane West is drool worthy, the movie did the book no justice. The characters were off by so much. Even the wedding wasn't good enough!"
Tristan rolled his eyes.
"You read too much."
"There is not such thing as reading too much."
"I give up. So, when will Lorelai be joining us?"
"Oh yeah. I completely forgot to tell you. Lorelai told me like a few hours ago that she had a date."
"Really." Then Tristan gave a suggested look. "I think that you just wanted me here all alone."
"Yeah, dream on Bible boy."
"I do. Every night and every day."
Rory's heart fluttered.
"Anyways, whom did she go out with?"
"Luke."
"Are you serious?"
"I think she asked him out."
"Finally. Even I knew he liked her."
"Yeah, I won the bet for it too. A week before Valentines."
Tristan settled himself on the couch while Rory sat on the other end after popping in 'A Walk to Remember'.
"I thought you didn't like the movie."
"I told you that Shane West was drool worthy."
They watched it together and once in a while glanced at one another, hoping that the other person didn't notice.
*~*~*~*
*God she's beautiful. *
Tristan couldn't take his eyes off of Rory. She was popping in a jellybean into her mouth as her eyes were glued onto the television screen. Tears were threatening to drip down her face as Jamie was telling Landon that she had Leukemia. Tristan went next to Rory and wiped her tear away with his thumb. She looked up at him and he smiled.
"Mary, its just a movie."
"But it's so sad."
Tristan was twitching inside. He wanted to just hold her right then.
*I have to take some bold steps for this to even work out. *
He put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulders. He felt like jumping up and screaming.
*She responded. *
In Rory's head, a lot was going on.
*He is holding me. My God this feels good. No, He is my best friend. The best friend that I am falling in love with. Damn, why now? Why is this happening now? Does this mean he likes me? Or is he just comforting me. Why did I place my head on his shoulder? *
On the screen, Landon kissed Jamie. Tristan was thinking in his head:
*I wonder how it would feel like to kiss her right now. I wonder what she would say. *
Almost the exact same thought ran within Rory's mind.
*I wonder what it would feel like to kiss him right now. I wonder what he would think. *
Tristan and Rory simultaneously turned to look at one another. Their faces inched a little closer. Then, the door flung open as both teens jumped up off the couch.
A/N- Look at that beautiful Trory goodness! It is what all of you have been waiting for. But because I am evil, I am going to make you guys wait for the next chapter. Who came through the door? Was it Lorelai? Luke? Jess? Paris? Lane? Dave? Margaret? Dean? Who? Lol. Wait and find out. R/R or else I am not going to put the next chapter for a long time. Or I will make it really suck. So yeah. Also, please don't take so long to review. I had this for the last month, but I didn't have enough reviews to put it up. I am just gonna leave it till I get to 110 so yeah. 12 more.
