Chapter 27: Hospital visit
Tristan had rushed to the hospital. He nearly got a ticket, but was lucky that the patrol car was on the other side. His mind was firmly set on one person.
*Rory.*
He ran into the hospital and flagged down a nurse.
"Do you know where a Lorelai Gilmore is?"
The nurse was annoyed when so many people showed up looking for her that day, but she softened after looking at Tristan. He seemed to have been through so much, his eyes all red and blotchy.
"She is in room 202 dear, but visiting hours are over."
"You have to let me in."
"I am sorry dear, but I have no control on that."
"Do you know my family contributes most of the funds to run this hospital? That a wing is named after my name?"
"DuGray?"
"Yes."
The nurse looked very embarrassed.
"I am very sorry. Go right ahead."
With that, Tristan ran off into her room. He entered to see flowers filling the room. He didn't have any to give her; he never stopped for anything. He sat in the chair that stood right next to her.
"Rory."
Silence took over the entire room. She looked so small and angelic in the bed. He started to cry.
"This can't be happening."
He took a hold of her limp hand and kissed it.
"I love you too much for you to leave me. You have to get better. It's my entire fault. God, I don't know how you can stand me sometimes. I am such an idiot, I swear. I don't deserve you, not the other way around. Do you know how much I wrecked things when things were getting better in my life?"
Tears fell onto her arm and his face was full of such sorrow.
"You're my angel Mary. You came down to save me and you showed me so much love. You can't leave, you can't be hurt."
He took the ring that was in his hand and slipped it on her finger.
"If anything, I think that you are too good to wear this ring. My love isn't enough for you, I know that. But yours is enough for me. I am sorry for causing you so much pain, for making you suffer. If anything, it should be me giving you this letter."
He grabbed a pen and started to scribble all over the letter that she had given him. He placed this on her arms. He had also added a new batch of blotches all over the letter.
"If it makes you happy, I hope you move on. But I need you in my life because I don't want to move on. All I want is you."
He kissed her lips and took one last look at her face before leaving. He couldn't stay in that room any longer, it hurt too much knowing that he was the cause of it all.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Lorelai was the first person to enter the room. She saw that Rory was in the same condition as she was the night before. But she did notice the small changes. There was a single ring on Rory's finger as well and a letter placed on her arms. Lorelai reached for the letter. But before she could read it, Rory stirred.
"Rory!"
"Owww, that hurts my ear. No screaming please."
"My God, my baby's is back!"
"Of course I am back Mom. What happened?"
"You blacked out in the middle of your class."
Rory then remembered what had happened.
"Tristan."
Lorelai was hurt. Here was her daughter, all better and finally recovering, and the only words that came out were the one that had caused her pain.
"Rory."
"He doesn't love me anymore."
Lorelai remembered the letter and handed it to her.
"Here, this was on your bed. I'm going to go now, the nurse let me in because I begged her to death."
With that, Lorelai kissed Rory on the forehead and left with tears in her eyes.
Rory looked down at the letter and noticed the ring. It was THE ring, the one that wasn't good enough for her.
*But I gave it back to Tristan.*
She looked at the letter and started to read. It was the same letter that she had written to Tristan, but he had written in the back. There were also new tears drops on it. She began to read.
Dear Rory
I don't even know where to begin. If anything, the things you wrote in that letter are the things that I should be saying to you. I can't imagine how much pain and suffering I put you in. I can't believe the things I did so that I could get over you. All I succeeded in doing was causing you even more pain.
It's my fault that you are in the state you are in now. It's my fault that you carried such a burden for a month. I can't believe that I did all that to you. You don't deserve me; I am beneath you.
I should beg on my knees for forgiveness, you are too perfect to ever be pained by me. You never did anything to me except love me and tell me the truth. You never lied to me. I'm waiting for the day when you wake up and find that you are too good for me. But until then, I want to enjoy every moment in my life with you.
I have placed the ring on your finger. You already have my love. I just don't know if I'm worthy of yours. I was so sure that you threw the ring away, but you are just too nice too. You kept it near your heart, which is where I want my heart to be, all the time.
I love you with all my heart and soul. I don't deserve you, but if you accept me, I will jump at the chance. I am sorry for causing you pain. Promise me that you will do what will make you happy. If it is without me, I can understand. But I can't live without you.
Also, I hope you understand that the happiest time I have ever had in my life had been shared with you. You are my true happiness, the angel of my life.
Loving you with all I can love you with, Tristan Janlan DuGray.
She smiled and hugged the letter before going back to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*
A/N: I know, I know. It's really cheesy. And yes, enough with the letters. I know; but it started with a letter so yeah. I know Tristan does seem a little too sensitive but give it a chance ok? Also, I think I know what I will do. The next chapter is coming up, and it will be the last, but I will add onto it 2 more chapters that will you know 'complete' everyone else and have everyone together. But yeah, the next chapter is what is to be the end so by the end of the week, everything should be posted up. R/R and tell me what I should change or what you want to see.
