*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I
own is my imagination and the plot.
*A/N: Hey! So, here's the deal. I'm having some trouble bringing the horror into this story. There is going to be some horror in the last chapter, but it's harder than I thought. So........have patience and just for the record, this is the last time I'm writing something with horror in it. (I think) Thanks again for all the wonderful reviews! I polish them and keep them on a shelf. ;-) Please review this chapter too and know that every single one is greatly appreciated.
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
When Rory reached the beach, her eyes immediately spotted Dean. He was sitting in the shade of one of the palm-trees, his gaze fixed on the ocean. Rory couldn't help but smile when she saw him. All the doubts about their relationship seemed to fade. Cause she had her share of doubts every now and then. Most of them entered her mind when she was with Jess. She knew that she could never compare those two, cause they were so different. Dean was sweet and caring and Jess............... She shifted her gaze from Dean to Jess and watched him as he was making out with Shane. She shook her head. She was sure that he knew how to care, the only problem was that he needed the right person to teach him. And that person certainly wasn't Shane. Rory looked away, a look of disgust on her face. Though jealousy was hiding right underneath the surface. Rory took off her shoes and headed over to Dean.
Dean heard footsteps coming towards him, but didn't look to see who it was. He didn't have to. He new only one person that could walk so cautiously and make so little noise.
R: ''Hey.''
Dean smiled and looked up at Rory.
D: ''Hey.''
Rory dropped her shoes and sat down next to Dean, their knees touching. Dean's eyes went to Rory's toes as she buried them in the sand.
D: ''I'm sorry.''
Rory turned her head, so she could catch his gaze with hers.
R: ''For what ?''
D: ''For walking in on you in the shower.''
R: ''It wasn't your fault.''
D: ''It wasn't ?''
R: ''No, it was the door's fault.''
D: ''O......kay.''
R: ''Yeah, I mean if the door would have had a lock, you never would have walked in on me............in the shower.''
D: ''Damn door.''
Rory laughed at Dean's words.
R: ''Besides I probably should apologize too. I mean I acted..............''
D: ''You acted like a normal girl.''
R: ''Normal girl ?''
D: ''Yeah, I did walk in on you.''
R: ''While I was in the shower.''
D: ''Exactly.''
R: ''Maybe I should have reacted like those girls in those slasher movies, you know ?''
D: ''You mean screaming and then jumping out of the shower so you can run through the house ?''
R: ''Yep.''
D: ''Hey, I wouldn't have mind.''
Rory hit him on the arm.
D: ''And I'm also sorry for not throwing Tristan out of the bathroom.''
R: ''It's okay..........''
D: ''Are you sure ?''
Rory shrugged.
R: ''What's done is done, right ?''
D: ''Right. So, you wanna go swimming ?''
R: ''No.''
D: ''Why not ?''
Rory shrugged again.
R: ''Don't feel like it.''
Dean bit his lip and nodded.
D: ''You're ashamed.''
R: ''What ?''
D: ''You don't want me to see you in your bikini.''
R: ''Dean, no.''
D: ''Really ?''
He locked eyes with her.
R: ''Well, maybe. But you can't blame me. I mean I don't feel comfortable with people seeing me like that.''
D: ''But I'm not just people, I'm your boyfriend.''
Dean got up and headed for the water.
Rory didn't make any attempt to follow him. She knew that he was her boyfriend, but she couldn't help but feel a little awkward around him now. Especially since Dean had never saw her like that before. Rory sighed and wondered how many fights they had already had since they had arrived on the island. Rory tried to figure out how many fights they had had since they had been together, but she lost count. Besides she knew that it probably were too many anyway. Rory sighed as she looked around the beach, doubts slowly filling her mind. Suddenly her eyes locked with a pair of chocolate brown ones. Rory felt even more miserable when she noticed that Jess was making out with Shane. At least they didn't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable about seeing each other naked. She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. Why was she feeling miserable about seeing Jess with Shane anyway ? Why was she even wasting her time thinking about it ? She crossed her arms and forced herself to keep her gaze on her feet.
Lane: ''Hey.''
Rory didn't say anything and kept staring at her feet. She could hear Lane sit down next to her.
Lane: ''What's wrong ?''
R: ''Nothing, except that.''
She gestured towards where Jess and Shane were making out.
R: ''All they do is make out. I mean look at her. It looks as if she's sucking the life right out of him.''
Lane: ''Why Rory, you're looking a little green with...........''
R: ''Don't go there. I'm not jealous.''
Lane: ''Fine.........................So, what's wrong ?''
Rory sighed.
R: ''Dean and I had a fight. Another one.''
Lane: ''What about ?''
R: ''About something that happened earlier.''
Lane: ''Can you be a little more vague ?''
R: ''Dean walked in on me taking a shower.''
Lane: ''And you were............naked ?''
R: ''Almost, I had a towel.''
Lane: ''Lucky you.''
R: ''And that wasn't even the worst part of it.''
Lane: ''Do I even wanna know what the worst part is ?''
R: ''I screamed when I saw Dean and Tristan came in to see what was going on.''
Lane: ''Why am I not surprised ?''
R: ''Lane.''
Lane: ''I'm sorry. So, I'm guessing you and Dean were fighting over Tristan ?''
R: ''O yeah, cause I think Dean kinda has a crush on him.''
Lane: ''You know what I mean.''
R: ''Yeah. But the fight wasn't even about that, even though it should have been, cause Dean just stood there, looking at me. While he should be yelling at Tristan or something.''
Lane: ''He was okay with Tristan watching you ?''
R: ''Apparently. And now he's mad at me, cause I'm feeling a little uncomfortable around him. I mean he did see me naked. And I don't care if he's my boyfriend or not, he should understand............right ?''
Lane: ''No doubt about that.''
R: ''I still can't believe he didn't kick Tristan out.''
Lane: ''Maybe you startled him with your natural beauty ?''
R: ''This is not funny, you know ?''
Lane: ''And I don't think Tristan walking in on you was a coincidence. I mean first Paris and now you ? Who's next ?''
R: ''You.''
Lane: ''No way. Ain't happening. I'll hire a guard or something.''
R: ''Okay Lane, can you try getting a grip on reality again ?''
Lane: ''You and Dean will work things out.''
R: ''We always do.''
Lane: ''Maybe you can pay him back by walking in on him, while he's taking a shower ?''
Rory couldn't help but laugh at Lane's comment. She always tried to joke about stuff like this, like it was no big deal. And maybe she was right. Maybe Rory had been overreacting. So Dean saw her in the shower. No big deal, right ?
*~*~*
That night, things were different and everyone could sense it. Rory and Dean hardly said anything. The others in the room tried to keep the conversation going, but finally stopped when they saw that it wasn't working. Finally Shane couldn't take it anymore.
S: ''This is so boring. We should do something.''
T: ''Like what ? Go to a party ?''
Jess smirked at Tristan's comment, while he kept his eyes on the page in front of him.
Lane: ''She's right. How about a game ?''
Lane nudged Dave with her elbow.
Dave: ''Yeah, a game sounds fun.''
S: ''How about truth or dare ?''
R: ''No.''
D: ''Why not Rory ?''
He looked at Rory. Everyone in the room could feel the tension between them.
R: ''Cause some things shouldn't be revealed.''
D: ''Not even to your boyfriend ?''
R: ''No.''
D: ''So, it's okay for Tristan to.........''
R: ''Dean..........''
T: ''Yeah, don't go there. It was a mistake.''
Rory almost had the urge to hug Tristan. She was so thankful for the fact that he didn't make things worse. He had actually helped her.
P: ''What's going on ?''
R: ''Nothing Paris.''
D: ''Nothing that she gladly wouldn't share with Tristan.''
Dean's cold eyes went right through Rory, piercing into her body like darts made of ice. Suddenly she couldn't take it anymore. She was never good at dealing with someone verbally attacking her. She never knew what to say. So, instead she did what she did best. She got up and headed for the door.
R: ''I'm going for a walk.''
Lane: ''But you hate the dark !''
R: ''I don't care !''
Rory opened the door and left.
T: ''You really know your way with words, don't you ?''
Dean immediately got up and wanted to grab Tristan, but Lane stopped him. She jumped in between the two boys and forced Dean to look at her.
Lane: ''Dean, we need to talk.''
D: ''Fine.''
He shot Tristan one more look before he went into the kitchen with Lane. Everyone in the living room was quiet, hoping to catch some of the conversation. Jess took this opportunity to get up and disappear out the door.
*~*~*
At the beach, Rory was siting near the water, silently crying. But she forced herself to stop crying as soon as she realized that people might be filming her. She didn't wanna be on camera crying, again. It seemed like all she did today was cry. She was so pathetic. She took a deep breath and thought about what her grandparents had always thought her. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Well, they had been wrong. Words could hurt you, sometimes they could cause you more pain than anything else. Suddenly she heard a noise. She looked around, but there was nothing to be seen. She shook her head. If she wasn't crying, she was busy being paranoid. She dug her toes into the sand and lowered her head, so her face was hidden from everyone except herself. At times like this, she wished that she could just disappear. But since she couldn't do that, she opted with this instead. She knew she couldn't disappear, but that didn't mean that she couldn't hide from everyone for a while.
J: ''You know, just because people can't see your face doesn't mean that they can't see you.''
Rory lifted up her head as soon as she heard Jess' voice. She knew that she came here to hide from everyone, Jess naturally included, but for some reason she felt relieved. She was glad that he had found her.
J: ''So, what was up with the verbal beating in there ?''
He walked over to her and sat down.
Rory bit her lip, wondering if she should tell him. But she already knew the answer. She could trust him.
R: ''Dean's mad about something I told him.''
J: ''Which was ?''
R: ''That I didn't feel comfortable around him...........anymore. I mean I did, but ever since.................I.........''
Rory took a deep breath.
R: ''Dean walked in on me taking a shower.''
J: ''Uhuh.''
R: ''And of course I screamed, loudly, and then Tristan came in to see what was going on. So.....naturally I'm a little freaked. Or maybe not so naturally. I don't know.''
Rory waited for Jess to say something, but he didn't. Rory started to wonder if she made the right thing by telling him. He probably thought she was overreacting and Shane probably didn't have this problem. Rory sighed. Why did she always compare herself with Shane ? She and Shane were two totally different people. Like Rory actually had a brain and.......... Rory stopped. This wasn't like her, putting people down. So, she didn't like Shane. She didn't have to, but the least she could do was respect her. For Jess.......
In the meanwhile, Jess was thinking of something comforting to say, but couldn't come up with anything. Finally he said the only thing that came close.
J: ''You want me to stand watch next time ? You know, guard the door ?''
He saw Rory bit her lip and knew what she was worried about.
J: ''I swear I won't look. I'll just sit in front of the door and read.''
Rory locked eyes with him. It was a sweet offer and she know she would take it, even though Lane would have done the same for her.
R: ''Promise ?''
Jess rolled his eyes.
J: ''Duh, of course silly. After all we're best friends for ever and ever.''
Rory laughed and nodded.
R: ''Okay.''
They sat there a little while longer, enjoying each other's company, before they got up and started to head back. While they were walking over to the other end of the beach, Rory could have sworn that she heard someone calling for help. But when she turned her head to see if there was someone on the beach, everything was quiet again. Once again Rory blamed it on her paranoia and followed Jess back to the house.
*~*~*
That night, Rory went to bed early. She wished everyone, except Dean, goodnight and went to her room. A piece of paper was lying on her pillow. She walked over to the bed and recognized the handwriting. It was Dean's....... She sat down on the bed and grabbed the piece of paper. At the third sentence, she stopped reading.
I'm sorry for hurting you like that. I never meant to. It's just that things seem to be different between us lately.................
*R*E*V*I*E*W*! Please ? :-) (Thank you mucho for the great reviews!)
