Chapter 8: The Truth Can't Be Sugar Coated...




Rory pulled away from the kiss and smiled at Tristan.




TRISTAN: So I take that as a yes then?




RORY: Maybe…




TRISTAN: But Jess…




RORY: …well maybe I shouldn't have kissed you again…




TRISTAN: Oh no you should have… I wanted you to…




The bell at Tristan's school rang loudly, within a few minutes the whole school was piling out the doors. Tristan turned around to see if he could see Jamal coming, they were going to go play basketball together after school. When he turned back he saw Rory walking down the street hurriedly. He sighed and stood up.




JAMAL: Man, who the hell was she?




TRISTAN: Rory, and how did you see her?




JAMAL: It wasn't just me…Practically the whole school saw you out here playing tonsil hockey with her.




TRISTAN: Oh damn…well she's just my friend…lets go play some b-ball hey?




JAMAL: Friends? She goes to Xavier Tristan…




Tristan crossed the street and sighed everyone knew of his immense dislike for anyone who had lots of money and flaunted it around. But Rory wasn't so bad, after that night in the hospital he'd taken a new look at her and surprisingly she hadn't turned out to be that bad.




TRISTAN: She's different ok? Just leave it… (he said defensively)




JAMAL: Chill I understand…




They both walked into the park and started a long game of basketball, unfortunately Tristan lost, but his mind was on other things, actually other people.




~*~ MARK'S HOUSE ~*~




Mark walked towards his front door to see Rory standing there in her school uniform with bruises all over her face. He opened the door quickly.




MARK: Rory what happened?




RORY: Oh you mean she hasn't rung you to tell you your best friends a stupid lil bitch?




MARK: Felicity hit you?




RORY: Yeah well you know…I started it then finished it… in front of the head-master and…Mark can I come in?




MARK: Sure, ill go make you a drink.




Rory walked into Mark's lounge room and flopped down on the couch she lied her head down on the edge of the sofa and flinched, her face already ached from the scratches and bruises. Mark came back into the lounge room and handed Rory a glass of Coke.




RORY: Thanks…




MARK: What else happened?




RORY: What do you mean?




MARK: Something else happened; you didn't just get in a punch up and look as down as you do. Did something happen to Jess?




RORY: His girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend…




MARK: Jess has a girlfriend....im so sorry..you really liked him huh?




RORY: I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND...I KISSED TRISTAN....



MARK: You kissed Tristan? What the hell happened? Are you drunk as well?




RORY: It happened…I went round to his school after I got in trouble…I dunno why…I should have come to see you…




Mark moved over to Rory's sofa and sat down next to her. He put his arm around her as she rested her head on his shoulder.




MARK: So did you enjoy the kiss?




RORY: It doesn't matter…I cheated on a guy in a coma…




MARK: Did you enjoy the kiss?




RORY: Well no I mean I did a lil…but…




Rory looked up at Mark with puppy dog eyes and pouted her lips.




MARK: You enjoyed it….




RORY: Yeah but I have a boyfriend…





MARK: Who's in a coma…look it is definitely never ok to cheat on someone…but you only kissed him...it doesn't have to go any further…and it wont, will it Rory?




RORY: No that was it… a kiss you're right…




Rory smiled as she closed her eyes.




MARK: So how did your head-master take it?




RORY: Like the shithead he is...I'm suspended....




MARK: Oh damn....for how long?




RORY: 2 weeks....but after that i have 2 more weeks of after school detention




MARK: You wont be able to see Jess...




RORY: I know...i hope he doesnt wake up when that happens...well i do because i want him to wake up as soon as possible but..i dunno...




MARK: Dont worry if he wakes up ill tell him to go back into the coma for you...




Rory laughed as she nestled into Mark's shoulder comfortbaly.




~*~ TRISTAN'S HOUSE ~*~




Tristan was sitting on the lounge watching MTV when the phone rang next to him.




TRISTAN/RORY:



TRISTAN: Yeah?




RORY: Hey Tristan its me Rory...




TRISTAN: Hey yeah..hows it goin?




RORY: Im good...the reason im ringing is because i wanted to know if you give me a lift to the hospital tonight...obviously because of the suspension I cant use my car.




TRISTAN: Oh yeah sure...what time do you want me to come and get you?




RORY: Oh about 7...




TRISTAN: Ok bye...




Tristan hung up the phone quickly and sighed. That was way to awkard, tonight was going to be hell.




~*~JESS'S ROOM, HOSPITAL~*~




Rory and Tristan sat in silence across from each and stared at their hands.




TRISTAN: Rory i'm sorry about today...




RORY: Dont be i had a part in it too..it doesnt matter it was just a kiss it doesnt have to go any further and it wont. Jess is my boyfriend and when he wakes up it'll all be back to normal.




Tristan stood up and looked out the full length window, 'damn i want to kiss her again' he thought to himself.




TRISTAN: Rory, look im not sorry about today. I'm glad it happened, i enjoyed it and i know you're Jess's girlfriend and im his best friend. But he's in a coma coudlnt we at least try it out...




He made his way over to Rory and pulled her up with his hands.




TRISTAN(continuing): You arent even offically going out or anything.




RORY: I know but i really like him...




TRISTAN: And i really like you...and i know you like me too otherwise you woudlnt have kissed me the second time...




Tristan cupped Rory's chin in his hand, kissed her, then pulled away and smiled softly.




TRISTAN(whispering): and that third time...?




RORY: I know....




Tristan leaned in and rested his forehead against Rory's and whispered.




TRISTAN: So we can try it then?




RORY: When he wakes up its back to normal...?




TRISTAN: Yeah if you still want to go back to him after being with this hunky stud...




RORY: Oh yeah it'll be a real heart breaker...




TRISTAN: Aww im hurt...




RORY: Im sorry it will be hard if you keep kissing me like you do...




TRISTAN: well you should have told me...ill try to keep them to a minimum.




Tristan leaned down and kissed the tip of her nose and smiled.




TRISTAN: Is that allowed?




Rory put her arms around Tristan's neck and kissed him passionatley, running her fingers through his hair softly.




RORY: Actually that was better...




Tristan smiled...'Jess your my best friend but dont wake up!', Tristan thought.
