This chapter takes place two weeks after. Important events will be memories to Rory, as she retells them to her mother.
Rory walked in, looking dazed and flustered. She needed to lie down, the events of the day overwhelming her greatly. Swallowing hard, she walked in to find her mother sitting contentedly, sipping on a cup of coffee.
"Babe, are you okay?"
Rory shook her head, releasing the salty tears she had been holding back. Collapsing onto the carpeted floor, she held her head down between her legs, her shoulders shook as she continued to sob. Rocking her body back and forth, she felt her mother rubbing her back gently.
"It's over," Rory whispered "It's over."
"What is?" Lorelai asked sympathetically.
"I blew it," Rory replied, shaking from emotion.
"Blew what? Rory, you're confusing me here. Remember the last time I was confused…"
"How could I have been so stupid?" Rory interrupted, her damp eyes meeting her mothers "He… he's gone."
"Tristan?" the elder Gilmore asked cautiously.
"He's gone," Rory yelled to the wall "All because of me…" her voice grew soft.
"What happened?"

"What, spying on us Patterson?" Tristan questioned angrily.
"No," Jamie glared "I needed a drink."
"A drink," Tristan contemplated "And I thought two bottles of water were enough for you."
"I was thirsty," Jamie repeated.
"You've misunderstood," Rory said slowly.
"Then do tell."
"Drop it Patterson. Mind your own damn business," Tristan was losing his temper.
"I wasn't talking to you DuGray."
"Please Jamie. You saw nothing. Forget about it… it was nothing but a mistake," Rory begged, meeting Tristan's eye.
"… Fine," Jamie answered, inspecting the green grass.

Rory gulped, blinking back more tears. She placed her shaking head behind her neck, letting out a soft frustrated cry. "He… he… Jamie wasn't convinced," her voice quavered "I lost my boyfriend and my best friend…" she covered her face with her hands "… all in one day."
Hi. Goodness, for the first time, I wasn't meaning to be evil. It's just almost 1:30 am here and I'm sleepy. So don't mind the grammatical mistakes. Lol. Sorry it was so short. Next chapter will be up SOON.
Remember to REVIEW. * smiles *
Sillylily2003: An answer to your question, since Rory and Tristan supposedly broke up, Tristan didn't get shipped to Arizona. I just didn't feel like writing about Arthur finding out about their 'break up.'
