chapter 20: Mrs. Kim to the Rescue?
***
Tristan saw her car pull up into his driveway about eight o'clock
the next morning. Despite his exhaustion of waiting up for her all night,
he managed to make it out to the driveway before she was even out of her
car.
He pulled her into his arms. "God Mary! You had me so worried!"
he cried, holding her tight.
"How did you know?" she asked, barely able to talk because the
tight grip he was holding on her.
"Your Mom called me at like three thirty in the morning," he
said, loosening his grip somewhat.
"God, she must be so worried."
"Why did you do it Mary, why did you run away?"
Rory looked into his beautiful blue eyes. "I had to see you,"
she said truthfully. He pulled her into another hug and she cried on
his shoulder, letting out more than two weeks of emotions that she had
held inside.
"You look so tired," he said, stepping back and taking a look at
her.
"Well I have been driving all night," she replied, drying her
eyes.
"Come on, let's go call your mom and then you can lie down. O.k?"
"No, I drove all this way to spend time with you. I'm not just
going to take a nap until my mom sends me home."
Tristan sighed. Rory looked determined to win. "Fine. How about
I drive you to that diner in Stars Hollow to get coffee? You'll get some
caffeine plus I'm sure they're all worried sick about you too."
"Okay. Can I use your phone?" she said. He took her hand and
lead her into the house.
*****
"Rory?" Lorelai answered the phone, on the very first ring.
"Hi Mom," she answered hesitantly, not wanting to hear her Mom's
lecture just now.
"Oh my God, honey. You're safe. I was so worried. WHERE DID YOU
GO?"
"To Tristan's house," Rory answered innocently.
"Tristan's house. Tristan's house as in the building he lives in?
As in the one in Hartford CONNECTICUT?" Lorelai yelled into the phone.
"Um, that would be the one," she answered nervously. Tristan
watched her shift from foot to foot.
"God Rory. I sent you out for toothpaste LAST NIGHT! And then
the hours passed, and you didn't come home, and I started panicking, and
my breath really smells and-"
"Mom, I'm sorry. I drove to the grocery store, but then I just
stopped thinking and started driving and I wound up here."
"I'm really mad at you Rory. You could have at least called me!"
"I know Mom. I'm sorry. Really, really sorry."
"Yah, well you better be. I'm just grateful you're okay. Now go
to sleep, I want you to come home as soon as you're rested up. I have
phone calls to make," Lorelai said angrily.
"Oh no Mom, who did you call?"
"Luke, Miss Patty, Sookie, you grandparents, Chris and Sherri,
Michelle, Dean-"
"You called DEAN?" Rory yelled into the phone.
"Hey, you don't have the right to yell at me Missy. You lost that
right when you ran away from home last night. And you just call me when
your daughter is missing at two in the morning. Then you'll understand
why I called Dean."
"All right, I'm sorry. I'm going to let you go call now," Rory
said, anxious to get off the phone, away from her mother.
"Next time you run away, consider my phone bill, okay? Thanks,"
Lorelai said, and then she hung up.
"Wow, Mom's really mad," Rory said when she hung up.
"She's just upset," Tristan replied.
"I know. I just thought that maybe she'd understand."
"You just had her worried. You had me worried. God. When I got
the phone call that you were missing, I thought I was going to die,"
Tristan said honestly.
"I'm so, so sorry Tristan," she replied. "I just had to see you.
I didn't think I could make it another day in that stupid town with those
stupid people and that stupid school. You know, when my Mom told me we
were moving, I thought I was going to die. But when I saw you at school
that first day, I knew thinks might just turn out okay. And they did. I
made it fine when you were there. But I don't know anyone there, Tris,
I don't have any friends. Everyone just points at me and whispers about
what a wreck I am since you left. And it sucks, it really sucks. Its not
like I care about the gossip, I'm just sick of not having anyone to talk
to. Especially now that my Mom is always at work. She's hardly ever home
before midnight. I just miss my old life, living in Stars Hollow, being
surrounded by friendly faces. I don't feel that in North Carolina Tris.
Not without you."
Rory's speech made Tristan fight to swallow a lump that was
growing in his throat. "Mary, I am so sorry. I wish I could change things.
You know I do."
"I know. But there isn't anything we can do, so can we just go
get coffee?"
Tristan smiled at his coffee addicted girlfriend.
"Your wish is my command, after all, you did drive twelve hours
to see me."
"You know, I still have that third wish," Rory said as they
walked out the door towards his car.
*****
Jess broke his usual cool, calm demeanor when he saw her.
"God Rory, I was so worried," he said, taking her in his arms.
"Um, hey Jess," she replied. Luke followed with another hug.
"Where have you been?"
"Um, I came to visit Tristan," she answered, beginning to realize
how stupid her answer must sound to anyone other than herself. It seemed
that everyone in Stars Hollow was gathered at the diner waiting for some
type of news.
"Tristan?" Jess asked.
"That would be me," Tristan stepped in. "I'm Tristan Dugrey,
Mare- uh Rory's boyfriend," he answered, shaking Luke's hand, knowing
that he was more protective than a father.
"Oooh! Tristan!" Miss Patty said, getting up from her seat.
"I'm Patty. Pleased to meet you," she said, practically swooning over
the sight of him.
"Oh Miss Patty, control yourself," Luke said. "You drove all the
way to Connecticut to see him?" Luke asked, eyeing the boy suspiciously.
"Well, technically I left the house for toothpaste," she answered.
"And let me guess, they were all sold out in North Carolina?"
he replied sarcastically.
"They have a better selection here," Rory answered defensively.
"And what would that be? Oh, I know, Tristan flavored?" a voice
from the corner said. Rory and Tristan both turned to face him.
"Well Dugrey, it looks like we meet again."
"Still got that job pricing vegetables Bag Boy?" Tristan spat
back sarcastically.
"Well, its better than making a living at putting girl's lives
in danger," he replied, with equal animosity.
"Dean, Tristan, stop it. No one put my life in danger. I just
took a little road trip is all," Rory said, trying to make peace between
the two.
"That's not what it sounded like when your Mom called me in the
middle of the night," Dean replied, not taking his eyes of Tristan.
"Dean, just cool it okay? Luke, can we have two coffees to go
please?" Luke rushed to pour the coffee. "Listen everyone," Rory continued.
"I'm sorry to have freaked you all out, but I'm fine, okay? Really I am.
As much as I would love to stay and talk to you, I really should be getting
back."
"You can't drive all the way back to North Carolina!" Jess and
Luke both cried protectively. They looked at each other and shuddered
at the freaky mind reading moment.
"I won't let her," Tristan said. "She's going to go home and
take a nap and then we'll figure out what happens next."
"Like hell she will!" Jess cried. "There's no way I am letting
you go home with this guy, Rory. He's trouble."
"He's not trouble Jess," Rory said. She was really getting fed
up with everyone trying to protect her. "He's a good guy. Don't worry."
"But what about all the stories you told me about him?" Jess
asked her.
"He's changed." Rory insisted.
"Hello, he also happens to be standing right here," Tristan
added, hating the way they were talking about him. "Listen, I love
Rory as much, if not more than the rest of you do. God. You all act
as if I'm a freakin kidnapper or something."
"I don't like this," Luke mumbled.
"Rory's a lucky one," Babette whispered to Miss Patty. "Look
at all the hunks going after her!"
"Come on Tristan, let's just leave. I love you guys all so much,"
Rory said. "But I'm really, really tired, so I'm going to go." Rory
and Tristan headed for the door without waiting long enough for anyone
to stop them.
But it was too late.
Mrs. Kim was blocking the exit.
"You are leaving with a BOY?" she spat. "Over my dead body!"
And with that, she put her hands on her hips and blocked the entire
exit. Rory and Tristan were trapped.
my mom. yuck. im so never doing that again!
but ne way, heres chapter 20, so enjoy.
