Her words came out with a mixture of strength and hesitance. She wasn't turning back now though, she made up her mind. It didn't matter to her if she had to stay at one of her enemies' houses she wasn't going home.

He knew immediately who it was, he could memorize her voice anywhere. Nervousness, shock, fear, curiosity, and amusement all struck him at once.

"Rory, yea hi" is all he could manage to say.

" I need a favor Tristin" her words made him melt.

He sat on his bed and leaned back onto a pillow. It was great to hear her voice, but why was she calling?

" Um okay, what can I do for you?" he said as a smile spread across his face.

She had took a deep breath and asked if he would come pick her up. Now she was raising her voice against the crowd in the city. She stayed focused and continued saying she didn't have her car and she needed a ride.

"You mean you didn't go home?" he asked puzzled.

" No I'm still in Hartford, the city" she answered.

This was his chance, to spend time with Rory even if it was a car ride. He figured he'd ask questions later since she seemed to be in a better mood.

"Yea, I'll come pick you up, stay there" he got off the bed and grabbed the keys.

She hung up and sat there waiting like he instructed. In the next few minutes it began to rain. Soaking her clothes and books, but she didn't budge. It didn't register how cold the rain was, or that she was freezing. She just sat and watched all the people go by in search of shelter.

Once Tristin got there he parked the car and got out in search for Rory. It had started to rain and he was already soaked. He walked up the sidewalks with the rain blurring his vision. * A coat would have been a really good idea* he thought to himself.

He stopped once he found Rory across the street outside one of many bars on a bench. Then concern struck, she looked horrible. Her clothes were soaked, her books were soaked, and she was just sitting there with a blank stare on her face. She was also outside a bar, where drunks were passing frequently.

Tristin automatically went into protective mode and hurried across the street.

"Rory" he stood waiting for a response.

She just stared as if in another world, no expression on her face. She looked hopeless and in a daze.

"Rory" he said bending down.

"Oh, hey Tristin" she said snapping back to reality.

He grabbed her book bag and threw it over his shoulder. She sat there still and silent, just watching him. They held eye contact for a moment as if frozen in time.

" Common lets get out of here" he said giving her a comforting smile.

He held out his hand and helped her up. They started across the street, darting past speeding cars. Side by side they walked to his car. He looked down at Rory; she was shivering and wrapped her arms across her chest hoping for some warmth.

Tristin switched the book bag to his opposite shoulder and covered Rory with his other arm, pulling her closer to the warmth of his body. First her eyes widened and she was ready to protest. Then she just felt a spark when he touched her, he was definitely built. She could feel the strength of his arms and instead decided to lean in closer.

He led her to the car and got her in. Momentarily saddened by the loss of her body next to his. The both sat there in awkward silence.

"Rory, let me take you home" Tristin reasoned thinking that's what she wanted.

" No Tristin please" was her immediate response.

Her eyes were electric blue he couldn't help but admire them. She sat there and just stared at him, almost a silent plead to do what she said.

" Okay, but Rory why not, what's going on?" he questioned.

She turned forward in her seat, and felt the tears coming on. She definitely didn't want to talk about it, not yet.

"Can I stay with you tonight?" she asked purposely dodging his question.

Still cold and shivering she pleaded. He had a weakness for her, he knew she probably should go home since she was acting weird but he couldn't say no to her.

He turned the heat up and headed for his house. They pulled up to a huge mansion by Rory's standards. He could see her eyes get wide at the site of his house. They both got out and he grabbed her bag again, she just stood there in the driveway. Her hair was plastered down to her face, and her white shirt was almost so soaked it was see through, but she didn't care.

He put his hand on the small of her back in order to guide her to the front door. They both tensed up and Rory stared to blush. He got a chuckle out of the fact he had that effect on her weather she admitted it or not. She felt her cheeks get hot which wasn't normal. She walked while trying to convince herself she felt absolutely nothing, his hand was still on her back.

He got out his keys and opened the door. Tristin noticed the look on her face and stared at her amused.

"Tristin, are you aware of the fact you live in a mansion?" she said with a smile looking around the foyer.

The house was huge, the only one shes been in other then her grandparents that was this big. He just laughed at her amazement, she then turned to him to convince him of her previous statement.

"Seriously Tristin this could fit like 20 of my houses in it" she said.

"Well I can give you the grand tour if you want?" he said putting down her stuff.

The offer was tempting but she looked at both of them and had second thoughts. They were soaking wet and she didn't think walking through their house would be a good idea. He noticed what she was thinking and had forgotten all about their not so dry state.

"Or maybe some nice hot showers would be good?" he said looking at both of them.

She agreed and they both went up stairs. He had led her to a room down one wing of the up stairs. He opened the door and motioned for her to go in. She walked in and stood there in awe.

There was a huge beg on one wall, covered in white. Then another huge wall covered with windows looking out onto there landscape. The walls had beautiful fairies painted on them in purple, green, blue, pink, and every other color you could imagine. She made her was over to the other side of the room and walked into a bathroom. It had a huge class shower, a tub the size or Rory's whole bathroom and mirrors across the wall. There was another door, which looked to be a walk in closet. It was one of those rooms that only celebrities have, and you can tell a lot of money went into. It was a girls dream room.

" So did you decorate this yourself?" a huge smile came across Rory's face.

"Oh yea, because purple and pink are my favorite colors" he said sarcastically.

He loved watching her, she was like an angle. She didn't even have to try to look good; she was just perfect to him all the time. He scanned her profile one more time before heading to his own room to take a shower.

Rory went down the hallway looking for Tristin's room. It was so awkward being in the house, it was almost scary being in the hallway by yourself. She opened a few doors until she got to the last one of that hallway. It was about 5 rooms away from hers, she made sure to make a mental note in order not to get lost.

She knocked on the door and waited for a reply.

"Yea" Tristin questioned.

She took that as an invitation to come in, and opened the door. He was on the other side of the room putting a belt on. Rory tried to stay calm at the sight of a half dresses Tristin only a couple feet away. She was speechless and just leaned on the doorway for support.

He looked up and noticed Rory looking him over from the other side of the room. He knew his lack of clothing was distracting her but he was in no hurry to get dressed. Once she realized he had caught her gaze, she tried desperately to look anywhere but him.

"Something you need Mary?" he said with his trademark smirk upon his face.
