Chapter 4: Not the surprise she hoped for
**Tristan's POV**
What?! My dad was joking right?! Rory wasn't my sister? I felt my heart jump and immediately felt guilty. How could I be so happy at a time like this? She's just lost her father and mother. But my heart did the happy dance. Get yourself together DuGrey! You need to stay calm. Help her. She needs you.
**Rory's POV**
"Daddy?"
I heard how small and fragile my voice sounded.
"what are you talking about daddy?"
This had to be some cruel joke. Why did they do this to me? Suddenly a thought came up in my head and I almost froze. Maybe... maybe they had found out about my feelings for Tristan. Maybe they didn't want me to be their daughter anymore. Why else would they say something like that?
**regular POV**
Jake DuGrey had to swallow before he could continue his speech. He saw tears in his daughters eyes, and had to look at something else to stop himself from breaking down. Oh how he had wanted this girl to be his real daughter. He loved her like she was. And that was something that would never stop. But she deserved the truth.
"You're not our real daughter Rory"
he repeated. After a short breath he picked himself up again and continued.
"You're the daughter to Lorelai Gilmore and Christopher Hayden"
"Well, anyway, your mother and father were only sixteen when they got you. So they decided to give you up for adoption. Your mother, I mean, Mrs DuGrey, she couldn't have any more children after Tristan. We saw you, and wanted you to be the daughter we couldn't get ourselves."
**Tristan's POV**
I knew it hurt when dad called mom Mrs DuGrey. That was low, and I felt the tears sting in her eyes. I knew, because the same tears were stinging in my eyes too. It was so hard to stay at my chair, when all I wanted to do was hold her and tell her everything would be allright. But for the first time in my life someone's got Tristan DuGrey speechless...
**regular POV**
"I don't want another mom and dad!"
Rory stood up, with tears in her eyes.
"They didn't want me! I have you guys! You're my real mom and dad, no matter what they say!"
"Rory"
Jake DuGrey tried to soothe her, but Rory pulled her arm back and ran out of the room. The last sound that the family in the dinnerroom heard was a muffled "No" and the start of Rory's crying.
**Rory's POV**
I couldn't believe it. This was a sick joke. And still, some part of me was relieved. They didn't know about that kiss. I was just adopted. Suddenly a whole new world of options opened before me. Tristan wasn't really my brother. So it wasn't forbidden to care about him the way I did. NO! What was I thinking?! I just lost everything that ever provided any comfort in my life, and I was thinking about how I was able to kiss my brother. That wasn't right. I should be thinking about what was going to happen now. Did I have to go back to my real parents? Would they like me? I knew one thing for sure, nothing would be the same anymore.

Chapter 5: Bagboy
**Rory's POV**
I was wrong. When I said that nothing would be the same anymore. Actually a lot hasn't changed. I'm still living with my mom and dad, or rather, my fosterparents. The only thing that's truly different is my last name. I'm Rory Gilmore now, no longer Rory DuGrey. That, and the fact that Tristan isn't officially my brother...
**Tristan's POV**
I thought it would be different. But it isn't. We still can't, you know. Not that I don't want to, god there aren't a lot of things I would rather do actually. We haven't really talked about it, but I know we won't change our relationship. My parents, her fosterparents, they still see her like their own daughter. So technically I'm still her brother. Has anybody ever said life sucked?! Well whoever said that was totally right!
**regular POV**
"Rory! Rory!"
Paris tried to catch up with her best friend. But unfortunately Rory didn't hear her, she was too busy reading her book.
"Gilmore!"
That caught her attention. She looked around, finally noticing her friend Paris.
"Hi Paris"
She smiled a bit. She didn't mind being called Gilmore, though the people at Chilton seemed to look down on her ever since they found out she had been adopted.
"Don't you ever stop reading?"
Paris walked down next to her.
"I've been chasing you all around the school"
She smiled while saying it, taking the sting out of the comment.
"There's someone here to see you"
Rory looked down the hall and saw Dean. She quickly put her books in her locker and started walking to Dean. He slid his arms around his waist and kissed her hello. Gently he pushed her backwards until she felt a locker touching her back. She happily responded to his kiss by opening her mouth.
**Tristan's POV**
"Could you two move a little?"
I tried to keep my voice steady. Tried not to show how that little show hurt me. He had the right to kiss her. The right to hold her and touch her and...stop it DuGrey! You're getting too worked up. They moved a little, and I saw Rory's face. She looked guilty, almost as if she betrayed me. Then bagboy kissed her again and she kissed back. I got my books out of my locker and slammed it a bit too hard.
**Rory's POV**
He was angry. Because I was kissing Dean. I could feel it in the way he looked at me. The locker slammed shut too hard. But that wasn't wat scared me. The look in his eyes did. Usually his eyes were sparkly, like he was going to pull a prank on you any minute. But now they weren't. His eyes looked broken. And at that moment there wasn't anything I wouldn't have done for him. Just to keep him from getting hurt. But then Dean kissed me again, and I realized he was in pain because of me. And I didn't know if I could help him with that.
~~By the way, Rory still hasn't met her mother, she is currently on holiday with her husband Chris. Rory doesn't have any siblings, and she has talked with Mr and Mrs DuGrey, who still think of her as their own daughter.~~
