**FLASHBACK**
"Tristan?"
"Yeah?"
"You do know I'm getting married?"
He bit on his lip. It had nearly slipped his mind for a minute. He hoped that this would be enough to cancel the wedding.
"Yeah...when?"
"Tomorrow"
**END**
~~**~~
"Don't"
"Don't what?"
"Marry him. Don't marry him."
"What?!"
"Please. You can't marry him."
"Why not?"
Tristan took a deep breath.
"Cause I love you...cause I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You don't belong here in London, I know that now. You can stay in Hartford, keep your job. I'll even give up mine if I have to. I just want to be with you Rory...no matter what. I love you and I want to be the one that's marrying you. You belong with me, at home in Stars Hollow. Not here. Not with him..."
Rory stayed silent for a minute.
"I'm not her anymore Tristan. I'm sorry"
"Rory!"
But she had already hung up on him.
Tristan watched the phone with incredulous eyes. She couldn't have hung up on him! He couldn't have lost her just when he was about to get her back!
But he had. And she was going to marry someone else. Tomorrow. And there was nothing he could do.
~~**~~
"Lydia? Who was that on the phone?"
Rory turned around and her smile dissapeared.
"Tristan..."
Bens face darkened.
"What did he want?"
Rory hesitated. She looked into Bens eyes and got a little scared. Anger was flashing in them, hurt, and pure unadulterated hate.
"He wanted to wish me good luck in my marriage"
Ben frowned.
"That doesn't sound like him."
Rory's curiosity took over from her fear and she looked up at him again.
"What is he like? How do you know him?"
"He killed my sister"
Rory sank down in her chair, unable to believe her ears.
"What?"
Ben looked up at her.
"You heard me. Cause of him my sister is dead."
Rory listened to Bens explanation of the events that had lead to his sisters suicide. All the while she was listening she kept thinking that somehow it didn't sound like Tristan. The sweet guy that had sung their song through the phone wasn't able to do something like this.
~~**~~
"Tristan?"
"Rory...you called back..."
When he heard the icy tone of her voice he wasn't so happy anymore. What was wrong with her?
"Did you kill Jenny Passmore?"
Jenny Passmore. He frowned and thought about her. Ofcourse! It had been Bens sister! That's why he was so mad at him! He thought about what happened...his note to her which lead to her suicide. He had never intended for this to happen. All he had done was politely declined her offer to buy her out. He had explained that his firm didn't have the money to buy her out, and that he was very sorry about it. He remembered writing that he would provide her with some money so when she went bankrupt she wouldn't have to find a job the next day.
The next thing he heard about her was that she had committed suicide. He remembered the beating Ben gave him, and how he raged on and on about Tristan being guilty of murder.
Rory misinterpreted his silence.
"I can't believe this"
He could hear she was on the verge of breaking into tears.
"Rory...let me explain..."
She took a deep breath.
"No thank you. And it's not Rory...it's Lydia. Lydia Passmore..."
~~**~~
Rory watched herself in the mirror. Although her outfit was complete she felt like she was missing something. The happy smile all the young brides seemed to have. Her eyes weren't sparkly, instead they were dark and showed a hint of sadness. She got mad at herself for allowing Tristan to make her feel this way and desperately tried to smile. It was a fake smile that decorated her face as she walked into the big church. Everybody got up and watched her walking towards her soon to be husband, Ben.
Ben saw her walking down the aisle and held his breath. She looked beautiful. Her dress was perfect, and her beautiful face was shining with happiness. He didn't notice how fake her smile was.
Just one person did. One person that was hiding in a dark corner of the church, allowing himself to be tortured by this day. He knew the moment she would say yes it would feel like his heart was ripped out. He knew that when she would walk out of this church she walked out of his life, and into a new one that didn't include him. He knew that there was nothing he could do about it now.
Rory looked around the church, searching for that familiar face and feeling dissapointed when she couldn't find him. He had decided not to show up. Well what else could she have expected? She didn't know he had moved heaven and earth to find out where they were getting married. She didn't know that his eyes never left her face, drinking in her appearance and hoping that she couldn't smile cause she wasn't sure if she wanted to marry Ben. One quick look down her body made her smile come to life. She was wearing his ring. Tristans ring. When she looked up at Ben the honesty dissapeared out of her smile. She kept smiling bravely, feeling her muscles burn.
The first part of the ceremony went by in a daze. She heard the priest talking about how they met...that Ben had done everything to help her, and that she, Lydia, had fallen in love with him. It didn't sound like he was talking about her. She wanted to scream at him, telling him that she wasn't Lydia. Begging him to call her Rory. But she didn't. She just stood there, frozen to the ground, and let his words drown her.
As soon as the first song started to play though she woke up and heard the familiar words. She didn't hear the woman singing the words, but instead a soft voice whispered them in her ear.
**FLASHBACK**
"We have a song?"
She could practically hear him smile.
"Yeah...want me to sing it for you?"
Rory laughed softly.
"Yes please."
**END**
She felt a pain stinging in her heart. It was their song. The song she and Tristan had first danced on. The song that bound them together, both knowing and cherishing the memories it held.
She remembered picking the song for her weddingday, not knowing that when she had first heard it, she had promised herself that if she were ever to marry Tristan DuGrey this song would have to be played.
She just thought she liked it, and Ben had quickly agreed, willing to do everything to make his bride happy.
Searching the room once more her eyes found his. For a moment time stopped, until she noticed the painful look in his eyes. He was hurting more with every second the song continued. She could practically see him break down.
When the song stopped Rory was relieved. She quickly gathered her thoughts and smiled at Ben.
~~**~~
"Do you, Ben Thomas Passmore, take this lovely young woman, Lydia Arabella Langford, to be your lawful wedded wife? Do you promise to take care of her, in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer, until death do you part?"
Ben took Rory's hand in his and smiled his goofy smile.
"I do"
Rory felt like a trapped animal. Just seconds from now she would be lawfully wedded to a man she wasn't even sure of loving anymore. She heard the priest repeating his words, asking her the same question he had asked Ben and felt Bens piercing eyes pinning her to the ground.
"Do you, Lydia Arabella Langford, take this man, Ben Thomas Passmore, to be your lawful wedded husband? Do you promise to love and honor him, in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer, until death do you part?"
Rory opened her mouth.
