Her Gift

Usual Disclaimers Apply

:::

Rory sighed and closed her book, he should be here with her, why isn't he here with her? He had been gone for four years you would think she was used
to it by now, she wasn't. Even though they never got a chance to be together, she loved him. Tristan....the name rang in her head like millions of whistles going off at the same time. She couldn't stand it; she was only sixteen when he left her in the hall. Now she was in college studying to be a journalist, she would rather be with him though. She doesn't even know
where he is now; he was probably out of Military School by now.

She sighed; she should stop thinking about him, she had to study for her
test in English.

English, that was one of the classes she had with him back in Chilton.

"STOP IT!"

She yelled out loud, thank goodness she was in her dorm room alone. If Paris was there she would have slapped her in the head because she would
know what she was thinking about.

She loved him, and she couldn't stop that.

Sure she dated, but every guy seemed to be a dead end road, how come in
movies it seems so easy, you see someone, you date them and BOOM your married and live happily ever after. Screen writers and directors need to get a clue, that's not how it really happens, there's no such thing as a
happy ending.

( Na na

Na na na na na

I miss you

I miss you so bad

I don't forget you

Oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found

It won't be the same)

The night he left she didn't even get to hug him, of course, Dean messed
everything up. If Dean wasn't there she would have kissed him goodbye, there was that one kiss, at the piano, but of course she was an idiot and ran away, the next day it was too late, she had messed things up by running
away and was too prideful to say anything.

Of course, the Gilmore pride, that's what always happens, she got it from her mom who has so much pride that when Luke proves her wrong, they make a
whole fight about it. It's sickening!

(Oh

Na Na

Na Na Na Na na

I didn't get around to kiss you

Goodbye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again

I know that I can't

I hope you can hear me

Cuz I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away

was the day I found

It won't be the same)

She couldn't get him out of her mind, which meant she couldn't study for
the test, which was on Monday, it was Friday, and her dinner with her grandparents was tonight. Her mom wouldn't be there either because she had
something with the Inn tonight. And her grandparents had invited two
guests; another grandmother with her grandson, Emily had been trying to
hook Rory up with so many men lately.

Just as she tried to go back to studying her phone rang the song Yeah By
Usher.

"Hello Rory Gilmore."

"Rory!"

As soon as Rory heard the voice she knew she was talking to her
grandmother.

"Hey Grandma."

"You're coming to dinner tonight right?"

"Of course..."

"Okay, I think you'll love the guests tonight...."

"Oh well I'm sure I will."

"Could you be here a little early tonight? Say around 6:00?"

Rory sighed.

"Sure Grandma..."

"Alright, talk to you tonight."

"Bye."

Rory hung up and fell back on to her bed. Going over early...oh joy!

(Grandparents)

Rory drove up to her grandparent's house and saw the guests where there
already, she sighed, so who will it be tonight?

She walked to the door and knocked, soon the maid answered.

"Oh wow, you're new..."

The maid nodded.

"Well I'm Rory...it's nice to meet you..."

The maid smiled and led Rory into the sitting room.

"Rory how nice to see you!"

Emily said and stood up to hug Rory.

"Hey Grandma."

Rory hugged her back.

"Rory I would like you to meet Loretta, her grandson is somewhere around
here he should be back soon."

Rory nodded and shook the older woman's hand and sat down.

Emily and Loretta got into a conversation leaving Rory sit and wait for the
man.

When Rory heard foot steps coming from behind her she took in a deep
breath, here we go!

But when the man walked out in front of her she gasped for air.

"Wow....."

Was all Rory said.

"Well hi there Rory."

She looked the man up and down.

"Rory...this is Tristan, Tristan this is Rory."

Tristan smirked.

"Nice to meet you Rory."

"You too"

She kept looking at his eyes.

"Rory I don't know if you know this but Tristan used to go to Chilton..."

Rory smiled

"Oh...well I think I saw him around."

Emily smiled

"Why don't ya'll go walk around the garden?"

"Oh...okay."

Rory said still smiling and Tristan helped her up. This is gonna be
interesting...


(Garden)
As soon as Rory and Tristan were outside they hugged, Rory felt like she
was gonna cry.

"Oh my gosh...what are you doing here?"

Tristan smiled. "Well, your grandmother is very hard to say no too....and how could I resist
saying hello to Mary?"

Rory laughed

"Yea I know what your saying...except for the hello part..."

He smirked his familiar smirk; it reminded her of why she did like him so
much.

"I did miss you though..."

Rory said on a more serious note. His smirk faded and his face went serious
too.

"I missed you too."
