A/N: I am having writers block on my other story 'Get Over It' and I'm not sure how long it will be until I update it again. I could be inspired within the next few hour or days or whatever. I'm not sure b/c I'm new at writing and I've never gotten writers block before. Also, if you haven't read my other story, 'I Hate Everything About You' then could you read that and review? I'm not sure if I should continue it or not. I liked the idea, but I guess no one else did. Also I put up another story called 'How the Other Half Lives' please read and review that.
I don't own Gilmore Girls, Three Doors Down, or their song 'Here Without You'.
Tristan held the phone a foot away from his ear, staring at it. Had he heard right? Stay away from Rory? He didn't know if he was capable of that. The blond boy put the phone back to his ear cautiously, "Stay away from Rory Gilmore?"
"Yes. She is bad for your image, Tristan. She lives in a small town and she doesn't have money. You know that."
"She and her mother do fine." He said in a quiet voice, trying to keep the anger out of it.
"Another thing, her mother chose to run when she had a child at sixteen, neither a smart choice."
The teenager didn't trust himself to speak to his father on the subject of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. "So then, I'll see you in two days?"
Arthur noticed the change of subject but chose to bite his tongue, "Yes, I look forward to seeing you." although he didn't sound like it.
"You too." He said quickly, not wanting to have to speak to this man any longer.
"Goodbye, son."
"Bye." The line went dead and Tristan closed his eyes tightly, as if he could clear his mind of the awful image of his father and the sound of the man's voice. The phone slammed on to the holder loud and hard, causing the secretary to jump slightly.
"Is there a problem, Mister Dugrey?"
"No." He turned and walked out of the office slowly, thinking about the conversation he'd just had.
-------------------------------------------------------
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
----------------------------------------------------------
Why? That was his question. And how? How did his father always know the one thing to take away that would ruin everything? And why did he want to make Tristan's life miserable? He was only seventeen. Barely seventeen, his birthday had been two weeks ago. What could he have possibly done wrong in only seventeen years to make his own father do this to him?
----------------------------------------------------------
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tristan entered his room to see Jae laying on his bed, headphones blaring. But when the boy saw his stressed room mate walk in, the headphones came off. Hey, Dugrey, what's wrong?"
Tristan shook his head and laughed bitterly, "I'm going back 'home' on Friday."
"That's good, right?"
"Oh, but see, there's a condition," his bitter smile twisted slightly, "For me to stay in Hartford, I have to stay away from Rory Gilmore!"
"Gilmore, Gilmore," Jae said quietly to himself, trying to recall where he'd heard the name. When he remembered, his jaw dropped slightly, "Oh."
"Yeah, see, she lives in a small town and she's not rich, so apparently, she's lower than me." Tristan's voice was filled with hatred, "God, I hate that bastard!"
Jae stared at his friend, he'd heard a lot about Rory Gilmore, or Mary as Tristan commonly called her. Thoughts of her had been the only thing keeping his friend sane the past few months. And when the letter had come, Tristan was glowing. Now the spark was gone.
"Um, hey, Jae, could you, you know?" he motioned towards the door, "I'm gonna call her."
"Oh, yeah, of course." He left, wishing the blond good luck.
-------------------------------------------------
I think about you baby and
I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me
-------------------------------------------------
Tristan dialed the familiar number and closed his eyes, breathing out slowly before putting the phone to his ear. It rang several times before he heard Lorelai's voice. "Um, is Rory there?" he asked, this voice pitch changing as he spoke.
"Yeah, hang on Tris."
A few seconds later he heard Rory. His Rory. She belonged to him, him and no one else. She was his by right. They belonged together. "Hello?"
"Hey."
"Hey! What's wrong?" She could tell in his voice that something was wrong.
"Nothing."
"Tristan."
"Mary."
"I'm serious. You sound really upset. Please tell me what's wrong."
"You don't want to know."
"I'll be the judge of that."
"Rory, really, you don't want to know."
"Okay Tristan, you called me Rory. You seriously need to tell me now. Or I'll go insane with worry."
"You really want me to tell you?"
"Yes, really."
"I'm coming back to Hartford on Friday."
"Oh my God! Are you serious? This is awesome Tris! Why would I not want to know?"
"Well, there is a condition for me to stay there."
All of her excitement died at the tone of his voice and she asked nervously, "Condition?"
"Yeah, one condition."
"Well, one condition can't be that hard to follow, can it?"
"Yes, I don't know if I can do it."
"What is it?"
"I have to stay away from someone."
"Duncan and Bowman? That's okay because Duncan is in Flordia with his grandparents until he graduates and Bowman went to-"
He cut her off, "No Rory, it isn't Duncan or Bownam."
"Then who is it?"
"You."
--------------------------------------------------
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
----------------------------------------------
"Me?"
"You."
"Why me?"
"Ask my father, he's the jackass."
------------------------------------------------
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
----------------------------------------------------
"Well then I guess we should say goodbye?"
"What!?"
"Well, we can't be together."
"Rory, I've loved you since eighth grade, I'm not about to let my 'father' keep us apart."
"Tristan, we don't have a choice!"
"I will not stay away from you!"
"And I will not be the reason you stay at Military School until you graduate!"
---------------------------------------------------
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
---------------------------------------------------
"Well, Mary, we have to think of something because like I said before, I'm not staying away from you."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why would you risk staying in Hartford just to be with me?"
"You're the only reason I want to come back!"
She sat in silence, unable to comprehend the fact the she meant so much to him, "Please don't say that."
He could tell she was crying from the sound of her voice, "What? Why?"
"Tristan, we can't be together, no matter what we feel, please don't tell me that I'm the only reason you want to come back." She whispered.
Tristan felt his own eyes tearing, "So what, you want me to lie and say I want to come back to be with my old 'friends'? You want me to lie and say that I live for something besides you?"
"Tristan, stop please!" She was crying harder now. "I can't take this, I need you. But this, us not being together now, knowing that we could have been before, it kills me more that it did when you left!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Everything I know, and everywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls,
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
--------------------------------------------------------
"I can't stop Rory! The fact that you would have said yes if I'd asked you out has haunted me for six months! You've haunted me for six months! And I can't take it! I'm here without you and it kills me! Rory, I've never needed anything or anyone, but I need you and I can't just pretend like I don't!"
Her voice was calmer, but still upset, "Neither can I."
--------------------------------------------
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and
I dream about you all the time
----------------------------------------------
"What?"
"Neither can I. I can't pretend like I don't need you either. I've always been independent. I've never needed anyone to help me. But I do need you, Tristan Dugrey."
"What are you saying?"
"I love you."
