Recap:

Rory followed the instructions. "Hey, Rory, I-I don't know where to begin…"

Before the message could continue Rory hit seven; the delete key. She didn't want to see him, look at him, or hear him. She turned off her phone and fell into a restless sleep.

Rory had a very unpleasing dream that night. She and Tristan were married and appeared to be deeply in love. She had come home early from Stars Hallow, as she had gone to visit her mother and found him in bed with another girl. She had run out of the room crying with him running after her yelling that he could explain. The classic answer always show in movies when situations like this arose. He was begging with her to forgive him while the girl was still sitting in their bed. She had slapped him and said they were done for good and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

She awoke with a start to the sound of a book falling off her desk. The dream had really got to her. Although she knew it wasn't true she couldn't help but ball her hands into fists at her sides. She got up and decided to shower to try and get the stupid dream out of her head before school.

The doorbell rang and since Lorelai had already left for work a puzzled Rory went to answer it. "Tristan-" she said in a wistful, yet bitter manor.

But he cut her off immediately. "Don't speak let me explain first." She nodded and moved aside to let him enter the house, even though part of her was screaming at her to just shut the door and walk away. He continued "I know you might not think this is a good reason, but I left because I couldn't face everybody. My leaving was a big scandal in the stupid "high-society" and so when I returned after only one day I couldn't go home. My parents had no Idea I was here, I didn't come for them anyways, I came for you." At this Rory blushed slightly and couldn't help but smile. "If I had gone into the school for the play, everyone would have thought I made it up, that I never really left. People would have been constantly bombarding me with questions, and I didn't want to answer any of them. I couldn't have my parents or anyone know I was back, even if it had only been for two days."

"Then why did you say you would come in the first place?"

"When you opened that door, all rational thought left me completely. I couldn't think straight, and I did want to go and be there for you. I just, I just couldn't bare it when the reality sunk in. I am so deeply sorry, and hope you will forgive me."

"You know it really hurt, when you told me you were leaving, I felt oddly upset. When it came to you, I was confused. I didn't know how I truly felt. Then when you came to my house the next day it felt so surreal. I put a certain trust in you that I never thought I would. And then you just left, you said you would be right in, but instead you left. I won't lie, it hurt, and it hurt more than I thought it would. It made me realize how much I don't hate you."

"Oh, Rory, I really am sorry."

"I know, I can tell. But if you left so soon, how do I know you aren't going to leave me again?"

"Rory, me leaving had nothing to do with you, actually you were the reason I was trying to get myself to forget it all and stay. I didn't want to leave; I just felt it was the best thing to do at the time. But I need you to know, that I did not go because of you. I would never intentionally hurt you."

"Ok" Rory stuttered, unsure of what else to say.

Tristan walked closer to her and took her hands in his. He leaned down and gave her a simple kiss, and pulled her into a tight embrace. She fit into him beautifully as she snuggled in closer to his toned body. They stood like this for some time. They finally pulled apart and Tristan rested his forehead against hers, and kissed her softly once again. It took her a few moments to respond, she just was unsure now. "Tristan" she said quietly "I just don't know" at that he nodded and turned to leave without another word.

When he was descending the steps she looked out upon the outside world. It was snowing. Magical things happen when it snows. She heard her mother's voice in her head. She ran towards him. "Tristan" she muttered, he turned around at the sound of her voice. She looked deep into Tristan's eyes and saw they hold truth and sincerity. She kissed him hard and when she pulled away in desperate need for air she whispered breathlessly "It's that damn snow." And with that she walked into the house and only gave a small smile before closing the door.

AN: ok I know this totally sucked but I needed to get them in better graces sometime, and it had to be soon because it had to be in person and obviously he had to get back to military school. I know parts of the story, like how fast it was going, seem unreal and I apologize for that, I didn't plan it out quite as I should have. But now I have a plan…somewhat. looks away innocently Anyways, I have some random chapters written and I'm just trying to work up to them because I do know how I want this story to go. Please bare with me and REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
