Randomx100: Glad you like
Livelearnlove: Don't worry, Tristan isn't going to do anything drastic or whatever. But thanks for the review!
Barbra: Thanks, heres the update
A couple days later Rory got up and her and her mom went to Luke's as every other morning. then Rory went off to Chilton, Jess went off to SHH, and Lorelai went to the inn.
When Rory got to school she started walking to her locker and again Tristan wasn't there, she sighed and started getting her books out when someone walked up behind her
"Well hello there, Mary" she smiled to herself and turned
"Hey Tristan" Tristan looked surprised at the polite welcome
"Wow, nothing cruel to say this morning, Mar"
Rory just looked at him and said "Nope"
And started walking towards class, Tristan smiled and followed. The rest of the day went along pretty normal, Tristan started to aggravate her again and they ended the day with Tristan saying
"Bye, mar" and Rory just walking away.
Every day when Rory got home she did her normal routine, but one day when she got to Luke's she didn't see Jess and asked Luke where he was but Luke didn't know so Rory sat down to wait for him. When he finally got there a half hour later Rory walked straight over to him
"Hey, where have you been?" Jess looked at her
"Rory, we need to talk"
Rory wasn't sure why and she was a little hesitant but went with him anyway. They walked out of the diner and towards the bridge so they could be alone.
Once they arrived at the bridge they sat down on the edge and Rory turned towards Jess
"Jess, what is it? what's wrong?" Jess didn't look at her but just stared at the water
"Well Ror...... I don't think I can do this anymore"
Rory was confused "Do what anymore?"
Jess still just looked at the water "I don't think we can be together anymore"
Rory was shocked, she hadn't seen this coming
"What?! Why?!"
Jess got up and finally looked at her
"Well I talked to Dean today"
Rory cut him off "What! Why were you talking to Dean? You know he doesn't want us together. What did he say? What happened?" Rory started asking all these questions
"Well I was talking to him cause he walked up to me and started talking, he said some things to me and I finally realized he's right."
"What!!!!! Right about what, jess?" Rory was about to break down.
"He said that I was no good and I don't deserve you and that this is only temporary and that you were vulnerable when I asked you to be my girlfriend and all . . . and he's right"
Rory looked at him not sure what to say or how to feel, she felt a mixture of sadness, anger, confusion but most of all hurt.
"Jess......you do so deserve me and no one can know how long this will last and I might have been vulnerable when you asked me to be your girlfriend but I meant what I said!"
Jess was staring at the water again
"Ror....it's just not gonna work" and with that he walked away.
Rory sat on the bridge trying to process what just happened, she was crying really hard when she finally got up and started towards her home. As she was walking she kept having people stop her and ask what's wrong but she just gave them the best smile she could saying she was fine and kept on walking. When she finally got home she ran straight to her room. Lorelai who had been sitting in the kitchen saw Rory run past crying and got up and went over to her door.
"Rory?" no answer
"Rory, sweetie, are you ok?" still no answer
"Hunny, what happened?"
All she heard was sobbing so she slowly opened the door and walked in. She saw Rory laying on her bed crying her eyes out
"Rory . . . what's wrong? What happened?" Lorelai asked in a very calm voice.
Rory stopped crying for a minute and looked at her mother
"Jess . . . he . . . he broke up with me"
Rory got it out and started sobbing again, Lorelai pulled her into a hug and just held her. They both feel asleep like this and slept the whole night through.
The next morning Rory got up, got ready and went out to the kitchen where Lorelai was waiting for her so that they could go to Luke's. When they got there Rory went over to Luke
"Hey, Luke, where's Jess?"
Luke looked up at her not sure what to say
"Well . . . um . . . ya see"
Rory realized something was wrong with Luke
"Luke, what is it? Where's Jess?"
Luke looked down at the counter "He's gone"
"What?!"
"He left this morning for New York"
And when he was done he looked up at Rory who looked heart broken
"Oh, ok, well I have to go so I'll see ya later Luke"
And with that she left the diner with Lorelai right behind her. Lorelai drove Rory up to school, just in case and since she didn't have work. When they got there, Rory leaned over and gave her mom a hug and then got out and walked into school.
Rory walked over to her locker and to her relief Tristan wasn't standing there so she kept walking and opened her locker, starting to get the books she needed out but she paused when she felt herself starting to cry. She stood there crying with her locker opened so no one could see her. While standing there she heard a familiar voice
"Hey there, Mary"
Rory didn't answer but just stood there hoping that if she ignored him maybe he'd go away, but no such luck.
"Mary, ya know, it's not nice to ignore people"
She still didn't say anything.
"Mary?"
Rory didn't turn but just said
"Tristan, not right now, ok?"
"Rory, is something wrong?"
When she doesn't say anything Tristan turns her around and sees that she's crying
"Rory, what's wrong? What happened?"
She just turns her head and says nothing.
"Rory?"
"I'm fine, Tristan" with that he lets her go and steps back.
She stands there for a minute and then slides down the locker to where she's sitting on the ground with her knees folded and her arms around them. Tristan just stared at her, not sure what he should do so he gets down on his knees beside her and starts talking
"Rory, it'll be ok"
And the next thing he knows Rory puts her arms around his neck and buries her head in his chest, crying. Tristan wasn't prepared for this and wasn't used to comforting people so he slowly put his arms around her and started stroking her hair.
When Rory finally realized what was going on she pulled away and looked at Tristan thinking to herself ' What the heck? Why is Tristan comforting me? I thought he only liked tormenting me?'. Tristan was just looking at her wondering if she was gonna be ok. Rory wasn't sure what to do so she just stood up and started walking away but Tristan got up and followed her to make sure that she really was ok
"Rory what was that all about? What happened to make you break down like that?"
Rory stopped walking and looked over at him
"It's nothing, it's my problem and I'm not gonna drag you into it"
Tristan's just standing there looking at her
"Rory, I asked so your not dragging me into it and it's gotta be something big if it caused YOU to break down"
Rory gave him a smile
"Thanks Tristan but really it's no big deal it's just my boyfriend broke up with me and I just over reacted, ok?"
Tristan was shocked, how could anyone break up with her?
"Rory, you didn't over react, it is a big deal and it's understandable that your upset."
Rory gave Tristan another smile
"Thanks, you've been a lot of help but I gotta go now, we're already really late for class as it is"
And with that she walks away, leaving Tristan just standing there.
That day, after school, Rory's walking to the bus stop when she hears someone call her name
"Rory"
So she turns to see Tristan running over to her
"Hey, Tristan, is something wrong?"
"Huh? Oh, no, I just wanted to see if you wanted a ride home"
Rory looked at him and laughed
"What?" Tristan said not knowing what was so funny
"Nothing, it's just that your usually trying to find ways to annoy me but today you've acted like my best friend."
Tristan just shrugged and she added
"I'd love a ride home"
He smiled and started walking Rory over to his car.
When they got to Stars Hollow Rory turned to Tristan
"Um, well you can just drop me off at Luke's diner, it's right there"
She pointed to the diner
"Alright, would it be ok if I went in real quick? I'd like a cup of coffee" Rory smiled
"Sure, you can meet my mom now" she laughed.
Tristan parked the car and got out and then walked over to Rorys side to open the door for her.
"Here you go" he said in a gentlemen like tone
"Why thank you"
Rory giggled and they walked into the diner, when they walked in everyone stared at them. Tristan leaned over and whispered to Rory
"Why is everyone staring at us?"
Rory turned to him
"Because they think we're together and me and Jess just broke up yesterday and especially since this is Jess's uncle's diner"
Tristan gave her a awkward look but Rory dragged him over to the counter where Luke was, he hadn't even looked up yet.
"Hey, Luke, can I get two coffee's?"
Luke didn't even look up
"Yeah sure. Are you taking one to the inn for your mom?"
Rory laughed "No, one for me and one for Tristan"
With that Luke looked up and at Rory disbelievingly but then turns to Tristan
"Hi"
"Hey" Tristan said back
Rory could tell that they were both uncomfortable so she cut in
"Oh Luke, Tristan is a friend from chilton and he helped me out today"
Luke then looked more comfortable
"Well if you're a friend of Rory's then you must be ok" Tristan smiled, this made things a little less awkward.
Rory and Tristan had sat down at the counter and were talking when Lorelai walked in
"Luke, coffee, now" Luke went to fill her a cup when she noticed Rory and a boy she didn't know sitting together
"Hey there Rory, who's your friend?"
Rory looked at her mom
"Oh hey mom, this is Tristan"
Tristan stuck out his hand and Lorelai shook it
"Wow, you don't look old enough to be Rory's mom"
Lorelai smiled and leaned over to talk to Rory
"I like this one, he's a keeper" Tristan heard this and smiled.
Luke set the cup of coffee down in front of lorelai and walked away. A few minutes later Lorelai got up to leave
"Hey mom, where ya going?" Rory asked
"Well I just needed coffee but I have to get back to the inn so I'll see ya later tonight, ok?"
Rory nodded as Lorelai turned to Tristan "Well it was nice meeting you and I'm sure I'll see you again sometime"
With that Lorelai walked out the door.
Rory and Tristan had been sitting there for about a half hour after her mom left when Dean walked in
"Rory, I heard what happ.." but stopped talking when he noticed Tristan
"Oh, Dean, what were you gonna say?"
Rory looked at him and Tristan turned also.
"Well . . . " he looks over at Tristan
"And who might this be?"
Tristan stands up and extends his hand "Hey, I'm Tristan"
Dean just looks at him and turns back to Rory
"Well, I came to see if you were alright"
"Yeah I'm ok"
Dean looks at Tristan again "How do you know Rory?"
Tristan looks from Rory to Dean "um, well . . . school"
Tristan says, not sure about what dean meant. Dean looks relieved
"Rory can we talk?"
Rory turns to Tristan who nods so she gets up and follows dean to a bench.
They stop, "Ok, dean, what is it?" Rory said sitting down
"Well . . . I was wondering . . . since, ya know, Jess is out of the picture and all . . . if you might want to . . . get back together?"
Dean didn't look at her but just stared at his feet. Rory wasn't sure what to say because she wasn't sure what she wanted
"Well Dean . . . I guess . . . I'm not promising this is gonna work out but I'll try"
Dean looked up at her with the biggest smile on his face
"Great, so do you want to do something now?"
"Well I have to check with Tristan because he came here with me"
Right after Rory said that another person spoke
"Oh, don't worry about me, I'm just gonna get going"
Rory turned around to see Tristan standing there
"Oh, hey Tristan, are you sure?"
Tristan just nodded and started walking towards his convertible
"Bye Tristan" Rory called after him but he just kept walking
Rory thought he just didn't hear her so she didn't think anything of it so she gets up and goes to follow Dean.
Tristan gets into his car and starts driving away hearing perfectly well what Rory said. 'God' he thought 'I finally have a civilized conversation with her and bag boy comes in and ruins everything'. When Tristan finally got home there was a girl waiting outside on the steps for him
"Hey there" the girl said when she saw Tristan
"What are you doing here?" he asked
"Well I thought I'd come see my boyfriend, a girl can do that, right?" Summer answered.
Tristan looked at her, said "Yeah, sure" and led her into the house.
