Chapter 6: Breaking up

Tristan Dugrey and Mystery Mary's huge break up.

On Monday afternoon Tristan was spotted entering a Star Bucks with mystery girl friend. Witnesses said that she was hysterical and refuse to have any pictures taken of herself or Mr. Dugrey. Shortly after their arrival she dragged him out after throwing money at their waitress. Approximately twenty minutes later they were reported to have arrived at Hartord Airlines. She jumped out of the limousine slamming the door shut. Witness reports say that he begged her not to make a scene. Then she slapped him, got into a cab, and drove away.

"Rory!" Kayla said scandalized. "I can't believe you did that."

Rory couldn't speak. She opened her mouth a few times to start, but was never able to force any words out.

"Shut up Kayla" Paris said surprisingly stepping in to defend Rory. "That's just a stupid tabloid."

Kayla huffed and put down the magazine.

"We didn't break up." Rory said finding her voice.

"How come he hasn't called then?" Kayla asked.

Rory couldn't think of any reason why he hadn't, but Kayla was right he hadn't. It had been four days since she had told him she wasn't ready.

"What were the exact words he said to you?" Kayla asked suddenly very interested.

"It wasn't what he said to me it's what I said to him." Rory said.

"Sure." Kayla said doubtfully. "What did you say then?"

"I said that I wasn't ready for the attention." She explained. "But I would go to the Golden Globes with him if he still wanted and if that went ok then I would stay in LA with him."

"Sounds like your taking a break." Kayla said smiling.

Rory shrugged.

"Come on Rachel." Paris said, "We've got to get to class."

Rory nodded and went to her room to get her books.

"I am here by banning any mention of Tristan Dugrey until he and Rory get back together." Paris announced to Kayla while Rory was getting her books.

"Fine." Kayla said with a huff.

"I feel so stupid." Rory admitted to Paris after their class.

"Oh no we're not going over this again." Paris said. She was really getting tired of Rory's need to wallow. "You're such a girl."

"I had no idea."

Paris rolled her eyes at her.

"Everybody is making me out to be the bad guy."

"I know." Paris said.

"That's not how it happened."

"I know." Paris repeated.

"Stop saying I know." Rory said angrily. "When you don't know at all."

"I know."

Rory let out a frustrated huff before stomping away from Paris.

"I am so sorry to hear about you break up Mr. Dugrey." Yet another stranger comforted him.

"We didn't break up." He said as politely as he could. It came out sounding very angry. He was getting tired of correcting people.

"No need to harass a PA." Tommy said pulling him away from women who looked no older than twenty.

"There was no harassing, only correcting." Tristan said as he allowed himself to be lead away. "But there will be if one more person says there are sorry to hear about my break up."

"Pull yourself together you look like shit ran over… a lot." Tommy said starring at a very untidy Tristan. "You're about to start the next scene."

Tristan was on the set of One Tree Hill filming some scenes for next season.

"Should I call her?" Tristan asked Tommy unexpectedly.

"It's only been a week. Give her a little while to collect herself."

"She might think it's my fault that all the magazines got the wrong story."

"She won't." Tommy said.

A nervous looking boy approached them.

"Mr. Dugrey they are ready for you." He said his eyes shifting back and fourth between Tommy and Tristan.

"Thanks he'll be there in a moment." Tommy answered before Tristan could like he did a lot.

The nervous looking boy practically sprinted away from them.

"Was he scared of me?" Tristan asked seriously.

"Well anyone that approaches you, you bite their head off." Tommy said uneasily.

"I do not." Tristan said sounding very much like a four year old.

"We will discuss this later right now you've got to film a scene."

Tristan walked off without another word.

Rory sat on her bed starring at her black cordless phone. She had picked it up at least seven times to call Tristan, but ever time returning it back to its place lying on her bed side table. He was supposed to call her not the other way around. She picked up the phone quickly determined to call.

Ring Ring

Rory jumped. Taking a deep breath she answered.

"Hello"

"Daughter!" Lorelai said dramatically. "It has been forever."

"I talked to you two days ago."

"But that was before you were a bitch."

"When did I become a bitch?" Rory asked.

"When you pitched a humongous fit in the Star Bucks." She said. "You're my hero."

"It didn't happen like that." Then she quickly added. "And we didn't break up."

"Yes you did right after you slapped him." Lorelai said laughing.

"Mom!"

"Sorry couldn't resist."

"This is serious." Rory scolded her mother. "I swear my room mate is going to murder me in my sleep for breaking Tristan's heart."

"I thought you didn't break up."

"We didn't. We are on a break."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"When I figure it out you'll be the first to know."

"Good keep me updated maybe I can sale the story to a tabloid."

"I'm hanging up now."

"Bye my little heart breaker."

Rory hung up the phone trying not to laugh.

"Who was that?" Kayla said. "Was that him?"

"No, it was my mom."

Kayla closed the door obviously not wanting to converse with Rory unless it was about her superstar boyfriend or was it ex boyfriend now.
