A/N: Oh how we all hate to hear the phrase, "just friends"
Chapter 6-Just Friends
A week later
Rory's POV
I had just gotten back from Yale with my best bud still on my mind. I plumed down on my bed and stared at the phone. Maybe a week is long enough, I hope she's forgiven me. I picked up the phone and dialed her number.
Lane's POV
I stared out of the window as I watched the rain beat against it, mirroring my emotions. I was sitting near her window hugging my legs while crying.
"Lane, Rory's on the phone!" my mom yelled from downstairs to me.
"Tell Rory I'm not here!" I yelled back turning her attention to the window once again. How could she do that to me?
"But, It's Rory, and you are here." my mom reasoned.
"I don't wanna talk to her!" I yelled back stubbornly. Couldn't she see the signs?
"Fine." my mother stated repeating what I had instructed her to. "What's gotten into her this time?"
Only time would tell if they could repair the damage…
Rory's POV
"Why doesn't she want to talk to me?" I asked out loud. I crumpled back onto the bed, tears silently streaming down my cheek as I wondered if our friendship could be repaired. I heard a knocking on the door and I got up slowly to answer it.
Jess's POV
I stared at the window as I waited for someone to answer the door. The door opened a few moments later with Rory, looking disheveled and depressed.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. She was dressed in baggy blue pants and a faded blue t-shirt.
"I heard what happened and I don't understand all of it, but I'm here to help you out. Rory, I don't know this Tristan all too well, but if he's getting in the way of one of your closet relationships then you should break off anything and everything you have going with him. It's not worth it. So, I dropped by to get you, and go to Luke's to maybe get a Danish and coffee for you. Maybe it could be like date to get over him" I told her, baiting her to tell me just how deeply she cared for this Jess fellow.
"I guess I could go with you to Luke's. I mean, if this Tristan thing doesn't work out it'll be nice to have a guy to talk this over with. So, sure, I'd love to go on a date with you to Luke's as just friends." Rory told me, a small smile appearing on her face.
The phrase 'Just friends' kept replaying in my mind, wounding me the more I kept thinking about it.
"Just friends, that'll be great, so I can wait while you get ready." I told her, keeping the look of disappointment off my face. Even if we had to start over as just friends at first, I would try my best to make sure that our status as just friends was only temporary. Even if that included getting this Tristan fellow out of the picture.
