Chapter 10
It had been two weeks since Tristan had asked Rory to the Winter Formal. Tristan was in heaven just thinking about Rory but now that she was going to the formal with him, he was ecstatic.
"Mary!" Tristan yelled from down the hallway in Chilton. Everyone fell silent and all eyes were focused on the King of Chilton. "Well don't just stare at me. Go do whatever you were doing before," Tristan stated to the entire hallway. They all quickly looked away and continued to talk with their friends.
"Mary!" Tristan yelled again. He ran down the hall towards Rory, who was dodging people left and right to get farther away from Tristan. Tristan finally caught up to Rory and grabbed her arm. He turned her around and saw that her face had lost its cheerful glow.
"What's wrong? I was calling you and you didn't answer," Tristan asked as he slowly let go of her arm.
Rory just shrugged and said, "I didn't hear you." Tristan looked into her eyes, which was pretty hard considering she wasn't looking at him, and knew that she was lying. He knew something was wrong but didn't know what. Tristan grabbed Rory's arm again and led her into an empty classroom.
"Tristan, we shouldn't be in hear," Rory whispered and started to head for the door. Before she reached it, Tristan blocked it with his body.
"You can't leave until you tell me what's wrong," Tristan stated. Rory opened her mouth to speak but before she was able to Tristan cut her off, "and don't say nothing because I know something is wrong."
Rory sighed and turned around. She walked over to the window and then sat in a seat nearby. Tristan left his post at the door and joined her.
It's just. uh. it's," Rory started to say but couldn't form any words.
"It's okay, Rory. You can tell me anything. You know that right?" Tristan said softly. Rory nodded her head.
Rory took a deep breath and started again, "Last night when I got home Alex was waiting for me at my house. We talked and every thing was fine. until he brought up the Winter Formal," Rory paused and looked up at Tristan, who was looking straight into her eyes and nodding every now and then.
She sighed and continued, "He started asking what time he should pick me up and stuff. All the little details, you know? Then I remembered that I already promised that I would go with you. I told him that and he started to get really pissed off. He started yelling and screaming about how I spend too much time with you and not enough with him. And. and."
Rory couldn't hold back the tears and started to cry. Tristan wrapped his arms around her and said soothing words.
Tristan was unsure about what happened that to Rory but didn't want to pry but felt the overwhelming need to know.
"He didn't hurt you did he?" Tristan asked hoping the answer was a negative.
Tristan sighed in relief when Rory said, "No Tristan. He didn't hurt me or anything. But while he was yelling he came up to me and kissed me. It was a short kiss but it was hard and demanding. It was filled with anger. Then he just left."
Tristan hugged her tighter as Rory broke out in another round of cries. He shirt was soaked with tears but he didn't mind. Tristan started to rub small, gentle circles on Rory's back which seemed to calm her down. Tristan was disappointed when Rory let go of Tristan.
As she was wiping her tears away, Rory said, "I shouldn't be crying. It was just a kiss. I should just get over it right?"
Tristan didn't give her a reply but instead said, "You don't have to go, you know. It was a bad idea in the first place. Just go with Alex to the Winter Formal. It would be easier that way. Considering that you're his girlfriend not mine."
Rory was a little stunned and said, "But Tristan you asked me to the formal and I said yes. I couldn't just break my promise."
"Don't worry about it. Just go with Alex. I will be fine," said Tristan. He got up and opened the door, "See ya later, Mary". Then he left.
Rory was still stunned. Tristan had never let go of anything in his life. But today he did. She shook her head while gathering her things and left the classroom.
