Thank you.....
Frackandbonechick: Yeah, I understand, I don't want Rory with Dean either but hopefully you'll like this chapter better.
Smile1: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it, most people seemed to be upset about Rory and Dean getting together lol but I don't really blame them.
Livelearnlove: Don't cry, it'll be ok. This chapter should take care of the yuck for ya
Sooty7sweep: Lol yes it was wrong of me to put Rory and Dean back together but as you said, I thought it would put a little bit more drama into the mix for the time being but you'll be happy to see what happens in this chapter I'm sure (as long as you don't like Dean). And yeah, I realize that he did split Rory and Jess up but that is actually brought up in this chapter and Rory tells her reason. Oh, and the drama thing, what's a story with out at least a little bit of that, it couldn't be realistic if there weren't problems right? I'm glad that you like me not going straight into a trory because most people seem to want that to happen soon but it probably won't happen for a while now, too much inbetween stuff going on.
Barbra: Lol, don't worry, I promise you that they will eventually be together and Dean is gotten rid of very fast . . . but your still going to have to wait for the troryness cause that's a while off, sorry.

The next morning Rory gets up and ready for school then walks into the kitchen
"Hey hun, do anything interesting last night?" Lorelai asked
"Well I went out with Dean" Rory answered,
Lorelai looked at her a little disappointed "Oh"
Rory looked at her mother "Oh, what?" she asked, knowing 'oh' was never just oh.
"Nothing" Lorelai said getting up from her chair
"No, that 'oh' meant something. What did you mean?"
Lorelai started walking towards the door with Rory following and once they got in the car she turned towards Rory "What happened to Tristan?"
Rory was a little taken back, she hadn't expected that "Well he's my friend, what about him?"
Lorelai sighed and shook her head "And isn't Dean the reason you and Jess broke up?"
Rory didn't really want to talk about that "not really, if Jess didn't believe our relationship would last then that's his problem" Lorelai decided to drop the subject.
When they got to chilton Rory got out of the car and started walking towards the establishment after saying bye to her mom. When she got in there, she started walking towards her locker noticing Tristan wasn't standing there so she looked around and saw him standing on the other side of the hall making out with summer, Rory rolled her eyes and opened her locker. She was getting her books out when she heard a oh too familiar voice
"Well good morning, Mary"
Rory turned to see Tristan standing next to her locker "I thought that after yesterday you would stop calling me that"
Tristan almost winces at the thought of the day before "Why? Nothing happened yesterday"
Rory looked almost a little hurt and wondered if he's just trying to play it cool "Oh, well I thought that maybe after talking with you we might be friends"
Tristan started thinking 'I can't be her friend, I don't want to'
"Sorry Mar, I was just trying to make you feel better but now you have a boyfriend to do that"
Rory started to feel bad about going out with Dean when she should have just told him she was gonna hang out with Tristan
"I'm sorry about that"
Tristan wasn't sure what she meant "Whatever, it's none of my business, I got to get to class" and then he walked away.
When Rory got off the bus Dean was waiting for her
"Hey" he said
"Uh, hi Dean, what are you doing here?" Rory asked surprised to see him.
"Well I thought we could go hang out"
Rory thought about it "sure . . . I guess" and they walked off.
The next two weeks were the same, Rory was by herself during school because Paris was in London with Madeline and Louise and Tristan had been avoiding her, Dean would be waiting at the bus stop for her, she would get home and do her homework and then she would go to bed.
Finally Monday when she got to school she walked in and found Paris back from London
"Hey, Paris"
Paris turned "Oh, hi Rory. So how's school been without me? Has Tristan given you too much trouble?"
Rory was happy that Paris was finally back "School's been boring and no, Tristan hasn't been bothering me, in fact for the past two weeks I haven't seen him other then a flash between classes"
This surprised Paris "Wow, that's a first, so you didn't have anyone to talk to?"
Rory looked at her and laughed "Nope, oh but I forgot to tell you, I'm back with Dean"
Paris was confused "What happened to Jess?"
Rory looked at the ground and very quietly said "He left".
Paris felt bad now "Oh, I'm sorry"
Rory looked up at her "Oh, don't worry about it, I'm fine now" but Paris knew she was lying.
Rory was about to get onto the bus when she noticed Dean 'What is he doing here?' she thought
"Hey Dean"
"Hey Rory . . . who was that guy you were talking to?"
Rory turned around to see Dean was looking at the guy that she had talked to while waiting for the bus.
"Oh, his names Greg" Rory said
"He was hitting on you" Dean said with a stern face
Rory laughed "What are you talking about Dean, he just asked my name and if he could see my book"
Dean kept staring at Greg "Rory, I don't think you should be talking to any guys"
Rory suddenly become serious "Your kidding right? You don't seriously expect me to stop talking to all guys"
Dean's face stayed serious "Yes I do"
Rory was shocked "Ok dean, now your paranoid, I'm not gonna stop talking to all guys just because you want me to, some of my friends are guys"
Dean looked at her "Rory you never know what they're thinking"
By now Rory was just annoyed "Ya know what Dean? I said I'd try and I did but this isn't going to work"
Dean grabbed her arm "You didn't try, this is going to work!"
Rory was now scared "Dean, get your hands off me!"
But dean didn't let go "Not until you take it back"
Rory tried to wiggle her arm loose but he had too tight of a grip "Dean, please, let go"
He just stared at her
"Dean please" Rory was in tears by now but he still didn't let go.
Paris saw what was going on so she ran inside to go find Tristan, she knew that he would help Rory. She finally spotted him and ran over
"Tristan!" Paris yelled
Tristan turned around "What is it Paris? What's wrong?"
Paris was out of breath because of running the whole way "It's Rory" she managed to get out
Tristan looked at her worried "What about Rory?"
Paris finally caught her breath "Dean's here"
Tristan rolled his eyes and started walking away
"Tristan! She needs help! Dean's being obsessive!" Paris yelled after him
He turned "So what, why should I care?"
Paris was stunned "Because she needs your help right now and friends help each other when they need help"
Tristan was angry now "In case you haven't noticed Paris, Rory and I aren't friends" and he turned and walked away.
Back outside Rory was still crying and Dean hadn't let go when she noticed Tristan walk out of the school
"Tristan!" Rory yelled but Dean turned her towards him
"I thought I said no talking to other guys. You shouldn't be calling for him. I knew there was something between you two"
Rory was terrified "Tristan!" she yelled again and this time Tristan turned hearing her yell his name again, when he turned he saw Rory was crying and Dean was holding onto her not letting her go so he started running towards her.
"What's going on?" Tristan had run over and was now looking at Dean.
Rory looked at him and smiled through the tears but Dean pulled her closer and turned to Tristan "It doesn't concern you"
"Oh, well I think it does if it has to do with Rory getting hurt" Tristan shot back
"Rory's fine and you don't have to worry about her, she's my girlfriend not yours" Dean said
Rory looked at Dean "I'm not your girlfriend! I told you, we're through!"
Tristan looked at her and then at Dean "Happy? Now let her go" but Dean just held her tighter
"No!"
"I said let her go!" Tristan yelled
"And I said no" Dean wasn't giving up. The next thing everyone knew Tristan had punched Dean and grabbed Rory
"Are you ok?" He asked looking down at her with worry on his face
"Yeah I'm fine" she answered smiling at him.
Dean had gotten back up and swung at Tristan but he ducked after pushing Rory out of the way so she wouldn't get hit. Rory went over to Dean and was trying to hold him back
"Dean, stop it! Leave Tristan alone!" Dean just shook Rory off and swung at Tristan again but this time he didn't miss,
Rory gasped and ran over to him "Oh god, are you ok?"
Then she turned to dean "What is your problem?!".
Tristan stood up and started to walk to his car and when Rory noticed she ran after him.
"Tristan, wait!" she yelled so Tristan turned around
"What?"
"Thank you for what you did back there, for standing up for me" Rory said
"Yeah, sure, whatever, I have to get home" and he turned back around so Rory started following him again
"Tristan"
Tristan stopped and turned around again "What?!"
Rory was a little taken back by his tone "What's wrong . . . and why have you been avoiding me for the past two weeks?"
Tristan wasn't sure what to say "I haven't"
"Yes you have, and why can't we be friends?"
Tristan sighed "Because"
Rory was getting a little mad "Because why?!"
"Because I can't just be your friend, Rory! That's why!" Then he turned, got into his car and drove away.
When Rory got home she called Paris and ended up explaining everything that happened, including her conversation with Tristan. Paris knew why Tristan acted the way he did and wondered if she should tell her, she finally decided to
"Rory?"
Rory had just been blabbing "Yeah?"
"I know why Tristan said what he did"
Rory was confused but really wanted to know "Really? Why?"
"Rory, I can't believe you haven't noticed, it's the same reason he's been avoiding you the past two weeks"
Rory was completely lost now "Yeah, that was kinda weird cause he started acting like that once he came out and heard me talking to Dean"
Paris sighed "Well doesn't that explain it?"
"Doesn't what explain it?"
Paris is just aggravated by now "Ya know what, never mind, just forget it"
"Paris, are you ok?"
Rory was a little shocked by the sudden out burst "Yeah, I'm fine, just forget about it, I have to go, ok?"
"Ok . . . bye Paris" then Paris hung up leaving a very confused Rory sitting in her room with phone in hand.
A/N: I'm sure you're all very happy that I broke up Rory and Dean, that didn't last long did it? Yes but nobody was happy with that . . . including myself lol. I can't stand Dean, he drives me crazy. And of course Tristan had his little part in it because it just wouldn't be a good chapter with out Tristan.
Frackandbonechick: Yeah, I understand, I don't want Rory with Dean either but hopefully you'll like this chapter better.
