A/N: Thank you all for reading and review! Well here is the next chapter,
another short one, but the next one will follow soon. I'm not quite sure
about Nicole yet but for now it's her and Tristan (don't hate me), but
remember aren't always as they appear to be.
By the way if anyone is at all confused by anything email me at soccersinger21@cs.com or post it in a review.
Chapter 3
********
"Halloo. You're Alex, Lana's little friend, correct?", Nicole asked as she answered the door, accenting little friend.
"Yes and I suppose you are Tristan's little friend.", replied sarcastically mocking her accent and instantly disliking this every eccentric woman. Lana smiled at his imitation, knowing how much it would get to Nikki, as she decided to now call her.
"You know your 'friends' looks make up for his lack in manners and humor.", she said again using her stupid finger quotes.
"Really Nikki? I find him very funny, daddy does too.", Lana said smiling at her friend, starting to realize how cute he actually was.
*No Lana. Stop this now. Alex isn't cute he is Alex. It is just that vulgar women putting ideas into my head. *
"She's not exactly Mary Poppins is she?", Alex whispered into Lana's ear. Realizing, finally, that Alex was there Tristan walked over.
"Alex! How are you?", he greeted hoping that Tray or whatever his name was wasn't there, but didn't say anything as not to be rude. His years in military school had taught him some manners.
"Good, well as good as you can be sharing a room with a relative you hate .", he replied, but then decided to steer the conversation away from his family problems and unto theirs.
"So Nikki," he started, unconsciously deciding on the same spiteful nickname as Lana had, "tell us a little about yourself."
"Well I'm afraid I am not a very interesting person." she replied flatly. Clearly this women had something to hide.
"Nonsense. When I look at you I instantly think 'Now there's a women with a story to tell'.", he sarcastically said playing the part of the fake and sickeningly sweet and polite little rich boy that his parents had taught him so well.
"Sarcasm duly noted young man. What would you like to know?"
Tristan was oddly quite and Lana thought it was weird that he would allow the woman he supposedly loved to be attacked like that. Something was wrong, when he and mom were together he defended her from verbal assault, when it wasn't coming from him of course.
"I think small talk is wasted here. Let's get to the point shall we. Dad when are you and...and this woman who I have heard nothing about going to be married.", Lana chimed in bitterly. It was pointless to beat around the bush.
"Lana, are you okay?", her father asked.
"Am I okay? God there must be something wrong with you if you think that I will just conform to this major decision you've made without my knowledge. You know at least mom would have had the decency to tell me about the person she was marrying.", snapped Lana with hate that no one could ignore lacing her voice.
"Lana this is not the time for your rantings, you're just like your mother you get over emotional.", he sighed.
"Well dad when is the time to talk about this when you're walking down the isle, and by the way I'd rather be like mom, she is a better parent than you are right now.", she said angrily.
"That's unfair and you know it. Maybe we should talk about this somewhere else."
"No dad I'm leaving you and you're little gold digging eccentric can stay here. Good Bye."
"Lana wait!", he yelled after her.
Nicole and Alex were stunned at Lana's outburst it was totally unlike her. Alex ran out catching her as she hit the lawn. He grabbed her hand a pulled her towards him making her stop in her tracks. Her face was angry and filled with hate, but it softened as she saw the look of compassion, understanding , and, God help her, love in her dear friend's eyes.
"Stars Hollow?", Alex asked. Lana nodded and the two drove off towards Stars Hollow.
Meanwhile a very hurt Tristan ushered Nicole out of the house, realizing how little he knew about the woman standing next to him and the truth in his daughter's word bite into him. If he were half the parent Rory was...no he wasn't going to go there. They two were silent as they departed, no words were needed.
As Tristan reentered the house he heard the phone ring.
Tristan: (Coldly) Hello.
Travis: Ah hello Mr. DuGrey it has been a long time hasn't it.
Tristan: Who are you?
Travis: Why sir it's Travis Griffin, Alex's cousin.
Tristan: (sighs) Well then little Travy Griffin what is it that you want?
Travis: I am calling to speak to your daughter.
Tristan: (Frustrated) Lana isn't here, but why would you want to talk to Lana?
Travis: (smugly)Oh I'm just calling to confirm our plans for tomorrow
Tristan: I don't want you near my daughter.
Travis: (innocently) Why is that Sir?
Tristan: Don't play innocent with me. I know how you work, I was exactly like you when I was younger and I don't want you bringing Lana into your world.
Travis: So you'll have her call me.
Tristan hangs up the phone violently. Now, he had to add onto the list of things to talk to Lana about. Boy, he was turning out to be quite the parent, wasn't he.
The entire ride Lana stared out of the window at the stars that twinkled so brightly and happily. She envied their happiness and wanted it herself. Although she knew that her problems were very small in comparison to everyone else's, she wanted everything to be normal again, simple like it was when they were kids.
Alex was concerned for her, he had never seen her break down like that before. He wanted to just make it all go away, to make everything bad disappear. Tristan wasn't a bad person, it's just he didn't know how to ease into a situation. It was only two years since him and Rory had divorced and he was already in another 'serious' relationship. When Lorelai sees us come in she will no doubly have a nice talk with Tristan.
