AN: thank you all sooooooooo much for all the reviews, it means a lot to me :-D, some I could tell a lot of thought was put in to and I really appreciate that. So in honor of that I decided to update right away because I was so overjoyed by the reviews!

Previously:

He yelled at her retreating figure "I never could, even if I tried and don't worry I definitely will!" she couldn't help but break out into a big grin as his words reached her ears, but soon tears began to fall. She realized she may never see him again and that was the best kiss of her life, it was then that she realized that not only was everyone right about him liking her but her mom was right when she said she had liked him too. She then became conscious that it was anything but hate she felt for Tristan and that she had crossed that thin like between love and hate, she just hopped she crossed in the right direction.

Though he had only just arrived, Tristan already felt like he was in hell. It's not that the military school was bad, actually it was a bit like staying in a dorm room it's just that all his thoughts kept drifting back to earlier that day. After much effort, he still couldn't figure out what she had meant by "I should have listened, they were all right".

He could tell his time hear would be fairly difficult and challenging but it sure beat living with his dad. Each room was equipped with a phone, for emergencies and the allotted time given to each student per week was a good two hours, and a computer. Tristan did still have his cell phone so he could sneak off and use that if need be. The computers had fairly fast internet connection which was supposed to be used for homework and such but of course email and instant messaging was also commonly used. The food wasn't that bad either, the real problem was Rory; only 6 hours later, and he missed her greatly. He still couldn't quite believe what had happened. She had kissed him; Rory Gilmore had kissed him, Tristan Dugray! And this was no peck; it was a good long full fledged kiss, passionate, fervent, and forever engraved in his mind.

Tristan kept the picture, with her information on it, on his nightstand on top of a copy of "Romeo and Juliet". He wondered the reasoning behind what she had done; sometimes he thought that maybe she actually liked him, he wanted that to be true more that he had wanted anything in his life. Another option was that she honestly thought she would never see him again. Then why would she have given him her number and such? Maybe she thought he wouldn't use it because of what she thought of him, millions of what-ifs and whys were flying through his head all day since his departure. He really hoped most of his hypotheses were fictitious. He would see her again; he would make sure of it. He went to the computer and decided to email her before he started to have second thoughts again, he had almost called her when he had arrived but couldn't bring himself to do it for some reason. He decided email would be easier and less awkward way to start conversation while he was away.

Hey, how are you? This is-

"Tristan!" someone yelled.

He went to close the window on the screen but send the email instead. Shit he thought before answering "yeah?"

"Some of the guys and I are going out, kind of like a welcome type of thing, want to come?"

"No thanks man"

"Come on it'll be tons of fun, there will be lots of hot chicks involved" he attempted to bribe him.

"Still no, I got to straighten some things out."

"Okay, whatever, your loss"

Tristan let out a heavy sign and flopped down onto his bed. Meanwhile Rory and her mom had just finished a classis movie night. Rory hadn't told her mom about the kiss and all that with Tristan. All her mom knew was that Tristan was gone. Rory decided to check her email. She gasped as she saw one from and unknown address that she was almost positive was Tristan. She opened the email and almost started to cry. "Hey, how are you" was all it said, she was hurt and she was going to let him knot it. She hit reply.

Wow indeed. That's it? That is all you have to say? "Hey, how are you?" well you want to know the answer? Fine, I'm not good Tristan! You left, I kissed you, I gave you my number and stuff and you just email me and sat that. I have never been so direct in my life, about anything, so I took a chance and went for it and you make it seem like it was nothing. Did that mean nothing to you? Cause it sure as hell felt like it meant something! Even you can't kiss like that without any feelings being involved. Then you email me something barely worth saying like nothing had happened. But I learned something from this, there actually is a very thin line between love and hate, and also sometimes when you cross that line there is no going back, please tell me I crossed the right way (I'm not saying I'm fully crossed yet though), because I'm not so sure I can ever go fully back. And that's an email!

Rory

P.S. your email address makes it seem like you're saying Ms. Hottie!

AN: ok so again not the longest chapter but if I went on it would be another few pages. I have the next chapter written and not typed it is about 9 pages so it will be pretty long. It should be up fairly soon especially if I get a lot of reviews like before. My birthday is next weekend (YAY!) so I won't be able to update then so I will get the next chapter up before then. I will try and write more so I can get the chapters out quicker. Anyways please review! And tell me what you think about the whole title thing!!!!
