Recap: Part Two, Chapter Eight
Rory closed her diary and rolled over to turn off her alarm. She sighed, but got out of bed and got her uniform and things layed out, before going to take a shower.
Rory was ready by 6:30, so she made coffee for her mother and herself, while Loralei was still taking a shower. When Loralei came down, they drank coffee and talked.
"Max proposed..." Loralei said as they were sitting at the table.
"Wow, that's great mom! What'd you say!?" Rory asked, happy for her mother, but sad as the realization that her mother and father would never get together.
"I said yes. I really love him Ror." Loralei said, smiling down at the ring. Rory smiled, and was about to reply, when the phone began to ring.
Rory got up to answer it, "Hello?"
"Hey Ror. I'm picking you up in 15 minutes." Tristan said, "and yes, I'm bringing more coffee."
"You don't have to come all the way out here Tris. I do have a car." Rory said, smiling at how sweet Tristan really was.
"Too late, I'm 10 minutes away. I'll see you soon. Bye Ror." Tristan said, hanging up.
"Tristan's coming...." Rory said, sitting down.
"OoOoO is he bringing coffee?!?!" Loralei asked, sipping her own.
"Mom... you're drinking coffee..." Rory said, laughing at her mother's crazy antics.
"Yes.... but you can never have enough coffee!!" Loralei argued, ashamed of her daughter.
"Oh... yes.... of course. Never enough coffee, duly noted." Rory nodded, as if she was so stupid to have forgotten.
"Anyway.... does this mean we're moving to Hartford?!" Rory asked, sad to be leaving Lane, but excited to be living closer to her new friends, and closer to Tristan.
"Actually.... it does. We're moving into his MANSION," Loralei said, emphasizing the word masion. *I know Max doesn't REALLY live in a Mansion, but this is my story, and he can live where I want him to live.*
"Max has a mansion?! But, he's a teacher?!" Rory said, her eyes enlarging.
"That's what I said! But, his parents died in a plane crash when he was 20, leaving him a heap of cash, and he's going to buy a mansion with us. Well... actually he already bought it...." Loralei began rambling.
"When are we moving?" Rory asked, wondering when they would begin packing.
"2 weeks...." Loralei said, slightly afraid of Rory's reaction. To Loralei's surprise however, Rory just began grinning, and nodded her head.
*Knock*Knock*
"Come in!" Rory and Loralei yelled in unison. Rory smiled when Tristan appeared in the doorway, holding two extra large coffee cups from Starbucks.
"Oh! Coffee!! gimme!!" Rory said, jumping up and down like a toddler.
Tristan laughed, but gave Rory and Loralei their coffee.
"We like you." Loralei said, nodding at him.
"I like me, too, thanks!" Tristan joked, and took Rory's things off the table.
"Ready to go Ror?" Tristan asked, glancing at the clock, noticing it was 7:05.
"Yeah, bye mom. Love you." Rory said, kissing Loralei on the cheek.
"Bye babe. Later Bible Boy." Loralei screamed behind them.
"Bye Loralei." Tristan shouted, before shutting the front door.
Part Three, Chapter Nine
AN: We're gonna skip ahead a month.... so, Rory had already moved to Max's mansion, Tristan and her have been dating for a little over one month. Rory's really close with Summer, Stephanie, and London, and they 4 of them spend a lot of time with Tristan, Hunter, Kyle, and and Tyler. Sorry, I'm skipping so much, and the story seems to be going a little fast, but I've been inspired! lol, Please review!
It was Friday and the weekend's party was coming up. Everyone was rather excited for this party, because it was none other then Tristan's party.
Rory was a little worried, because she'd heard about Tristan's parties, but never attended them in the past. There was always alcohol, fights, people smoking, and tons of other crazy things going on. Rory also knew that Tristan would get drunk, and might do something stupid..... maybe even cheat on her.......
There was a new girl at school, Karla Jonhston, and she was after Tristan. With Rory's status, and dislike for the girl, the popular girls instantly turned their backs on her, only looking at her to glare on Rory's behalf..... the boys, also seeing Rory's dislike for Karla, didn't converse with her much. However, Tristan had invited Karla to his party anyway, saying something about how it'd be rude for her to be the only Sophomore not invited. Rory was angry with her, but let the matter drop.
Tristan hadn't been hanging around Rory as much, and she was slightly worried. So at lunch, she has asked the girls about it.
"Do you think Tristan wants to break up with me?" Rory had asked Stephanie, Summer, and London after they had sat down.
"What? Why would you think that?" London was the first to reply.
"He hasn't talked to me a lot lately.... and when I asked him NOT to invite Karla to the party, he did it anyway.... you don't think he wants to break up with me for her... do you?" Rory asked, looking as if she wanted to cry.
Summer and Stephanie had moved on Rory's side of the table to sit on either sides of her, "Rory.... if Tristan DOES break up with you, we'll disown him as our friend." Summer said, wrapping her arm around her, letting Rory cry on her.
Tristan walked into the cafeteria with Damon, Tyler, Hunter, and Kyle.
"What's wrong with Rory?!" Damon asked immediately, spotting her wrapped in a hug with Summer, shaking hard from crying.
Tristan's head snapped up, "What do you mean?!" he asked, frantically searching for her. The minute he spotted them, he ran over. Summer gave him the coldest stare he'd ever recieved from her, clearing telling him to stay away. Tristan's face fell when he realized he had to be the one to cause his Rory so much pain that she'd cry in the middle of the cafeteria, and seek refuge in someone who wasn't him.
"Ror..... baby, what's wrong?" Tristan asked. Rory visibly tensed at his voice. She had known he was there, and she knew that Summer was probably shooting daggers at him with her eyes. She hadn't, however, expected him to talk to her. He hadn't spoken two words to her all week, why should he talk to her now? Rory angrily wiped her tears and glared at Tristan.
"One.... don't call me baby. Two, don't ask me what's wrong. Three, leave me alone. I'm done talking to you." Rory said, getting up from the table and walking out, flashing smiles at the boys who were checking her out, trying to act like she was fine, when really her heart was breaking inside.
When Rory was out of sight, Tristan sank down in the chair, "What's wrong with Ror?" he asked, looking at the girls, noticing how all of them were glaring at him. "WHAT THE HELL DID I DO!!!" Tristan screamed, slamming his fist onto the table.
Summer was the first to stand, soon followed by the rest of the girls, London and Stephanie standing closest to her, "You should know. You're the jerk. Stay away from Rory. You don't deserve her." Summer said in an icy voice, giving him a look saying she had to find Rory, and walked out.
"Kels! Kelsea!" Tristan tried, but couldn't believe it when his own cousin wouldn't even smile at him.
"Sorry Tristan. But I think you messed up." Kelsea said, walking away with the rest of her friends.
Part Three, Chapter Ten
Summer, Stephanie, and London walked into an empty classroom they knew Rory would be in, telling Kelsea, Britney, Jennifer, Marissa, and Paige to stand outside and make sure no one got through that door without Summer's permission.
"Ror..... honey...." London called out into the dark, empty classroom. They heard a sniffling sound coming from the corner, and instantly they were at her sound, "Ror, you listen to me. There is a party tonight, and we are going. You're going to come over after school, like we planned.... we're all going to go to the party, we're going to have a good time, if Karla is anywhere near Tristan, we're going to take her out. Then after the party, even if you hadn't seen Tristan, we're going to go back to your house, and we're spending the night.... and we're going to talk about all the hot guys that hit on us, and you're going to smile." London said, hugging her.
Rory cracked a smile, London reminded her so much of Lane it was scary. She hugged London, whispered "Thanks Londy. I love you." into her best friends ear, wiped her tears, asked for a mirror to check her make-up, while thinking 'Thank God for water proof mascara....' and getting up, hugging Summer and Stephanie, telling each of the other two girls that she loved them and thanked them, "How much is left of lunch?"
Summer glanced at her watch, "20 minutes.... why?" she was almost afraid to ask. Rory grinned, nodded for them to follow, and walked out to go to the cafeteria, a plan already forming in her head.
Part Three, Chapter Eleven
"Karla's looking at you again......" Tanner said, "no wonder Rory's pissed at you, you don't even seem to mind." Tanner added, shaking his head at Tristan, knowing he was stupid if he was going to ruin things with Rory.
"Whatever man, Rory can be pissed at me. I don't care." Tristan said, although he looked like he was going to cry, his voice cracking.
"Damn it DuGrey. Admit you love her. You have NEVER been with a girl this long. You love her, and it scares you, so now you're going to fuck it up. Rory Gilmore is the best thing to happen to you, and you're going to throw it away for some skank like Karla because you can't handle it. Get it through your head..... Rory's going to dump your ass if you don't apologize to her and stop flirting with Karla." Kyle said, looking him in the eyes, never breaking contact, though his voice had rose a vew octives.
Tristan shook his head, but knew they were right. Was he really willing to lose Rory, for a girl like Karla, who he wasn't interested in? Rory was the only girl he'd ever loved, and the only girl he ever wanted to love, and that scared the hell out of him. Rory was changing him, and she had the power to drop him on his ass, and break his heart into a million pieces.... 'Why didn't I just uninvite Karla when Rory asked me too?! Why did I have to piss her off...." Tristan thought, but snapped out of it when he heard Tyler make an "Uh oh...." sound
Tristan turned around to see where he was standing when he saw Rory and her girls walking into the cafeteria, looking like the bitches that the unpopular believed them to be. Rory looked like the bitchiest one out of all of them. Tristan swallowed the lump in his throat, and made a move to get up. He pushed his seat back, and his boys followed, almost in the exact way that the girls were standing..... Tristan/Rory in the front, their three closest friends next to them, half a step back, and the others walking closely behind, their faces set, and their eyes ice cold.
Rory noticed Tristan and the boys get up and stand in formation, and rolled her eyes. 'Stay out of this DuGrey, if you know what's good for you...' Rory thought, then whispered to Summer, Stephanie, and London, "He better not plan on stopping this little confrontation, because I know I'm going to snap."
Summer spoke up first, "Please, you might not even get to talk. I'm done with this girl, and she's getting a piece of my mind." Summer said, stopping directly behind Karla.
Karla's friend made the same "uh-oh" sound that Tyler had made earlier. Karla turned around, her eyes widening, "Hey girls, can I help you with something?" She asked a little quickly, obviously a little frightened. She had heard about this group..... the most popular girls in their sophomore class, the richest in the school, and you didn't mess with one of them, you messed with all of them.
Rory stepped in, smiling sickly sweet at the shorter girl, the evil glint never leaving her eyes, "Hello Karla, I'm Rory, you might know me. Actually... you SHOULD know me, since I'm the girlfriend of the boy you won't stop throwing yourself at. Now, listen to me, and listen good, because I'm only going to warn you once, and after that, I will not be responsible for what happens to you, because you HAVE been warned," breathes, "Tristan is MINE, and if I see you so much as glance at him, I will scratch your eyes out. You will not go to the party tonight, and if I see you there, our next meeting will not be this pleasant. Understood?" Rory asked, glaring at the girl.
Karla had a smile on her face, though her eye's were giving away how terrified she truly was, "Rory, you can't stop me from going to a party that I was invited to. And I can flirt with whoever I damn well please. I know you think you're little miss high and mighty, but you're not scaring me in the slightest." Karla said, trying to stand her ground, although she desperately wanted to run, especially when Rory smiled again at her, this time a real one.
"Karla, dear..... you obviously didn't understand Rory," London said, stepping in, "If you attend that party tonight, you might get hurt." London smiled at her, trying not to laugh.
That's when Tristan and his boys decided to cut in, "Ladies. How are you? There isn't any trouble over here, is there?" Tristan asked, smiling charmingly at them all, only to be paid back by Karla throwing herself at him, earning him the dirtiest look he'd ever gotten from anyone from Rory. 'Omy God, omy God!' Tristan thought frantically, trying to get the girl off of him.
Rory's eyes flashed angrily, turning them an icy blue, Tristan winced, "Well.... seeing as how you're busy here Tris darling, I'm going to go. Have fun with this tramp.... I'll see you around. Let's go girls." Rory said, flashing him a smile, one that didn't quite meet her eyes.
Part Three, Chapter Twelve
Rory was sitting in last hour, flirting with Tanner Hagerty, who certainly didn't seem to mind. Tristan walked in and took his regular seat by Rory. "Hey baby." Tristan said, hoping Rory still wasn't mad.... she was.
"Hello." Rory said, glaring at him. 'I want to smack him and kiss him at the same time.... is the normal?' Rory thought to herself, smiling at him for a brief second, "Can I talk to you?" Rory asked him. Tristan nodded, and Tanner sulked off, disappointed.
"Rory, listen... before you say anything, I'm so sorry about Karla. I don't like her, I love you. Please, you have to know that I didn't even want to be anywhere near her." Tristan said, his eyes softening.
Rory smiled sadly at him, "Tristan.... I love you, too, but.... I don't think this is working between us." Rory added quickly, "You have to stop flirting with these girls in front of me. I know you hate it when I flirt with guys, so stop doing it to me before you lose me." Rory then smiled her 'I love you' smile, that was only meant for him, and kissed him on the cheek quickly as the bell rang.
Tristan let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. 'She's not breaking up with me! She's not breaking up with me!' was all he could think all during class. When the bell rang, he wrapped his arm around her waist, and walked her to her locker, "I love you baby." he whispered into her ear, kissing her softly on her head.
Rory smiled at him, "I know you do." then noticing London, Summer, and Stephanie tapping their feet impatiently down the hall, she said, "I have to go. I'm going to London's tonight. I'll see you tonight. I love you.... oh, and stay away from Karla, or I will break up with you. Okay? love you!" Rory smiled sweetly at him, before running off down the hall.
Welps, that's it for Part Three!! Sorry for all the cussing, that's the most I'll ever write, I swear. Please review!! Keep it sweet! Later

Tristan let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. 'She's not breaking up with me! She's not breaking up with me!' was all he could think all during class. When the bell rang, he wrapped his arm around her waist, and walked her to her locker, "I love you baby." he whispered into her ear, kissing her softly on her head.
Rory smiled at him, "I know you do." then noticing London, Summer, and Stephanie tapping their feet impatiently down the hall, she said, "I have to go. I'm going to London's tonight. I'll see you tonight. I love you.... oh, and stay away from Karla, or I will break up with you. Okay? love you!" Rory smiled sweetly at him, before running off down the hall.
Welps, that's it for Part Three!! Sorry for all the cussing, that's the most I'll ever write, I swear. Please review!! Keep it sweet! Later
