Chapter 12: A whole new World

The morning after Tristin and Rory left…

After arriving in late at night Tristin and Rory had fallen asleep as soon as each of them found a bed. They were exhausted both physically and emotionally. The two of them had just left behind everything they once new, at least they still have each other.

The next morning Tristin woke up around 10:00. He was disoriented at first but then he remembered he was at his grandfather's summer home in Canada. He loved coming to this place when he was younger. He hoped that Rory liked it here. Upon your first sight the mansion is very intimidating, but the inside is very welcoming.

Tristin let himself wake up a bit more before he went in search of Rory, He couldn't remember which room she crashed in the night before, but he figured that it was one close by. The house itself had about 7 bedrooms.

He got up and grabbed a shirt, he only slept in his boxers and he didn't want to find her and scare her away with how he was dressed or rather how he wasn't dressed.

Tristin left his room, the one he used as a boy. It still looked the same with dark blue walls and hockey posters hanging on up. He hadn't been here since he was 12. He had a blue and black comforter on the bed and the rest of the room held a dresser, desk, and some bookshelves. The room itself was rather large. Then again this house was rather large almost castle like.

He crossed the hallway to a door that was slightly ajar. He figured that since all the other doors are kept closed she must be in this one. He opened the door and it creaked a little bit causing her to stir in her sleep.

Rory opened her eyes that morning and saw Tristin enter her room, or rather the room she was currently sleeping in. She saw that he was only in boxers and a t-shirt. 'Holy crap he looks good.' She thought to herself. Not being fully awake yet and still in a cast she let Tristin come to her.

"Good morning, beautiful." Tristin whispered to her as he slipped into bed beside her. "How did you sleep?" He asked as she cuddled up against him and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Jet legs a bitch" Was all she said before she shut her eyes and breathed in his sent. Tristin smiled and leaned down to kiss her. She still had her eyes closed so when his lips brushed against hers it made her jump. Tristin pulled her closer and she leaned forward to kiss him in return. This kiss was full of reassurance that they would be okay. After a couple of minutes Rory pulled away, with a groan from Tristin, but she had a smile on her face so he couldn't be mad.

"Lets get some coffee!" Rory suggested with a huge smile on her face.

"Funny I was just about to offer you some." Tristin replied "Follow me" And Tristin led the way downstairs to the kitchen. With Rory following along with her crutches.

Rory who was not fully awake yet because of the lack of coffee in her system just nodded and followed Tristin along. Once in the kitchen they noticed a rather round woman, by there guess she was about in her mid 40s. Tristin assumed she was their cook and decided to introduce himself and Rory, who had found a chair and was leaning her head on it dozing off.

"Hello Ma'am, I'm Tristin DuGrey." He said to the happy looking woman

"Well Hello there, I'm your cook Miri Wilkes." She replied with cheer

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Wilkes, This is my girlfriend Rory Gilmore. You have to excuse her she hasn't had any coffee yet. She doesn't function without at least 3 cups."

"Please call me Miri, and I happen to have some excellent coffee right here." She poured a cup for Rory and Tristin. As soon as Rory saw the coffee in front of her she smiled and took in its steamy sent. She drank the cup down in one gulp.

"Wow that was great, almost as good as Luke's." She said finally forming a coherent thought. She looked up and saw Miri for the first time.

"Hello I'm Rory."

"And I'm Miri, the cook. The one who made the coffee."

"Oh, well its great could I have some more?" Rory asked

"Sure thing dear" Miri said while filling up her cup. "Can I get you two anything for breakfast?"

"Yes please" Tristin and Rory said in unison.

"Well what would you like?"

"I'll have some chocolate chip pancakes please." Rory said with a smile on her face which Tristin took notice of; he hadn't seen her smile in a while.

"I'll have the same please." Tristin said

"Coming right up" Miri said

"Hey Mar, how about after breakfast we find out which room they put your stuff in and I'll show you the rest of the house." Tristin asked her.

"That sounds perfect."

The two ate their breakfast and were soon on their way to explore the estate.

First they decided to find Rory's room. They went upstairs, Tristin had to help Rory because of her crutches but they made it.

Tristin started to open the doors to the bedrooms; Rory peaked into each one as well and was amazed at what she saw. Each room was decorated perfectly. Tristin explained that before his grandmother died she had redecorated this whole house.

Tristin showed Rory his room. She thought the hockey posters were really cute, but the room didn't look anything like his room at home. Then he explained that he hadn't been here since he was 12.

They opened the room next to his and found all of Rory's things. But that's not all they found. The whole bedroom was filled with Rory's belongings it was almost exactly like her room at home, except it was a lot bigger.

"Oh my God, Tristin it's just like my room at home!" Rory said excitedly while walking into the room and sitting on the bed for a rest.

"I guess our parents wanted you to feel at home here." Tristin said joining her on the bed.

"I'm so glad you're here with me Tris. I don't think I could do this without you."

"Ror, you're a very strong person. If I weren't in your life you would still be able to handle yourself, but I'm glad that you want me here with you."

"Good" Rory said and then she took another look around the room.

"That door" Tristin pointed to a door on the left side of the room. "Is your closet, my guess it's already full and organized."

"Okay"

"And that door over there is the bathroom. It has a connecting door into my room. So we won't be very far away from each other."

"Good, I want to stay close to you." Rory said leaning closer to him.

"Okay, so do you want to see the rest of the house?" He asked her.

"I sure do"

"Right this way"

Tristin lead Rory down the hallway and downstairs, He showed her the entire house and she thought it was amazing. The house was huge it had tons of rooms, and an indoor pool, hot tub, as well as outside. This house was perfect.

"Despite the circumstances of us being here. I think I'm going to like it." Rory said grabbing Tristin's hand.

"I'm glad because I like being here with you." He said and he leaned down to capture her lips in his own. Tristin was falling hard for this girl and that thought made him the happiest person in the world.

A/N: This is more of filler I guess, I want to build up Tristin and Rory's new life. The next chapter will be them starting school. I'm going to start it tonight and hopefully it will be posted later.

Thanks for the reviews everyone. Please keep 'em coming!
