Thanks to everyone who's been reading and reviewing, without you this story would be dead. Anyway here's Chapter 6...Enjoying.

Oh yeah...still don't own any of it!

The whole gang ate and joked around and talked. Nobody had a chance to actually have one on one conversation but they could tell that something was being left unsaid. After the kitchen was cleaned and the conversations done they all decided to get to bed. Their first night in the house had been pretty eventful and everyone was more than ready to get to bed.

People were running around the house getting ready for bed. Nobody had really thought as to whom their bedmates would be until they all heard Rory let out a gasp. "You mean I have to sleep in the same bed as you?"

Rory stood there looking Jess in the eyes. Of all the other people in the house, there were only three of them she's have a problem sleeping with; Jess, Dean and Tristan. Now she was faced with one of them.

"Calm down." Jess said as he looked at her. He couldn't believe she was reacting this way. It's not like he'd try anything. He actually thought it was pretty cool that he'd be stuck sleeping in a bed with her. It might be the one thing that would actually help them become friends again. He was looking forward to this. All he had to do now was convince her that it wouldn't be so bad.

She looked around the room at the others who were sleeping in their room. The other King size was being slept in by Lacy and Tristan so she didn't really want to ask anyone of those two to change beds and the single was being used by Paris and she could see that Paris was already fast asleep.

Slowly, Rory pulled back the blankets on the bed and got in. "I swear to you, if you come too close things will be really bad for you." She said to Jess as he got in beside her.

"Whatever, just go to bed." He turned around and tried to fall asleep. He knew that sleep wouldn't come so easily and that this would be a hard night to forget. A thousand thoughts were racing through his mind. All of them were about her; the one girl in his life that he had ever truly and honestly love. The one girl who had managed to get him to see who he was really and what he had the potential to become.

Sometime he wondered what would have become of them had she followed him when he asked her to leave with him instead of saying no. After she had told him to leave and that she wouldn't be with him he had left and had vowed to become the kind of person she would be proud of. In the last year he had written a book, which he was waiting to have published and he'd written a few short stories for some magazine. He was proud of the work he was doing no matter what she'd think.

He had spent countless hours hitting himself over the head for leaving her but it was too late to change the past. Everything he had put her through had really happened and he in no way could change all of that. He believed that everything happened for a reason and he would soon see what that reason was.

He lay in bed looking at the wall and thinking of her, wondering how she really felt at seeing him again. What had happened since that night? What had happened with Dean? There were so many unanswered questions in his mind. Maybe he'd get some answers in this house.

On the other side of the bed Rory was having thoughts of her own. He couldn't help but think of the different parts of her past that were presently sleeping in the same house as she was.

She started thinking back to the time she had met Jess and how they had instantly had a connection. She had felt so strongly for him before and after he had left her. He had managed to break her heart more than once. The last time being when he had showed up at Yale and she had had to tell him no. Her heart had broken again that night. She had wanted to be with him so badly but she knew that it wasn't possible. He wasn't the kind of person she could count on in the long run. Her thoughts started wandering to the idea that maybe he had grown up since she knew him. Maybe he was a different person now. She wondered if they could become friends now.

Images of Jess were soon changing into images of Tristan. The one and only Chilton King whom she hadn't really had a chance to really get to know before he had had to leave school. She thought back to the first time she had met him: the first time he called her Mary. How annoying he had been and how much he had tried to make her life at Chilton miserable. Then there was the Tristan she had seen the night he had left. He had been like a little boy that night. For the first time in her life she had seen a different side to Tristan, a kinder more human side. It was like she could see inside his soul at the person he tried so much to hide. She wondered which one he was now. Was he the Chilton Playboy or had he become an actual human being?

Then there was Dean. How he had appeared in this house with her was a mystery but she knew that out of the three guys he wouldn't be a problem to her. That boat had sailed a long time ago and it was one thing she didn't wish to relive. He was a part of the past that would most definitely stay in her past.

In another room in the house lay a very awake Tristan. He was lying in bed looking at the ceiling and wondering what the next weeks would be like. He was in a house with Rory Gilmore and he couldn't believe it. She had been the one and only girl who hadn't fallen at his feet and he was forever amazed at her. From the first time he had met her there had been an attraction, an attraction so strong that he could simply not ignore it.

Sadly though he had managed to screw everything up back then. He had been a complete and utter jerk to her back then. He had made her time at Chilton a living nightmare. Then, he had been sent to North Carolina where he had made a vow to change his ways. He would forever be grateful to the one person who had, without knowing it, changed him. Rory had made him see what an ass he was. So, after Military school he had opened his own business, a bookstore café that he named Mary.

Now he only wished and hoped that he'd be able to befriend her and make her see how much he'd changed. As head of household he knew he had the upper hand. He could talk to her away from the rest of the house. He thought about the conversation he'd have with her the next day as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning Rory awoke to the smell of coffee. In the kitchen she found none other than Tristan Dugrey sitting at the table drinking her favorite thing in the world.

"Good morning Rory, coffee?" he asked handing her a cup.

"Thanks." Came her reply as she sat down.

"Sleep well?" he asked trying to make conversation.

"Not really. This house is really different from what I'm used to. Plus I had to share a bed." She looked at him then.

"Well, tonight you can have mine."

"Yours? With you?" She couldn't believe he was up to his old tricks.

"Don't worry Mary, you'll have it to yourself. I move into the HOH today." He responded amused.

"Oh, right! So have you seen your room yet?" Rory tried to change the subject.

"Actually I haven't. Do you want to come see it with me?" He knew she might not go with him but he had to try.

"Well…"

Sorry people, chapter ends here. So what do you think? Will Tristan come out on top or will Jess. Who will Rory actually give in to? Sorry but that will not be answered any time soon… you'll have to stay tuned to find out. I know I said that there'd be more interactions but... sorry!

Now do what you have to do… If you want this story to continue you have to review.
