A/N: Just warning you ahead of time, this chapter is mostly lyrics because yea, I just like writing them. I don't own 'For You', 'Made of Glass', or 'Black Balloon'.
"I wonder what this assembly is about." Erin said, following Rory from their class room.
"I don't know, but it beats sitting in sixth period."
"True, very true."
"So, do you have any idea where Garrett and Tray could have gone?"
Erin shook her head, "They were here earlier."
"They just disappeared, how sad."
"And you sound so sincere." Erin said, laughing as they entered the Upper Gym, only to be shocked at the sight in front of them.
A few moments after people started coming in, Tristan spotted Rory walk in with a stunned look. He'd told them to start playing as soon as Rory came in, since he wasn't sure how long it would be before the principle came in. Devin played the first chords and Tristan felt something come over him, which always happened before he sang. He kept his eyes on Rory, unwavering.

I waited for you, I died inside my own head
And I'd die again for you
I'm faded and tired, completely uninspired
And I'd die again for you
So kill me with the love
That you won't give to me
And pack the wound with salt
I want to feel it bleed
______________________________________
He kept his eyes locked on her, not letting Rory look away, no matter how much she wanted to.
_______________________________________
I'm searching for reasons to keep away the demons
And I'd die again for you
I wish you were near me
Could feel it when you hear me say
I'd die again for you
So kill me with the love
That you won't give to me
And pack the wound with salt
I want to feel it bleed
You wanted me to crawl
So now I'm on my knees
Why's it always have to be me
That's always left out to burn
And I'll never learn
Why's it always have to be me
That's left out to burn
And I'll never learn
So kill me with the love
That you won't give to me
And pack the wound with salt
I want to feel it bleed
You wanted me to crawl
So now I'm on my knees

There was complete silence, every one stared in shock until Katie slowly started to clap. After her the people around her began to do the same, and it had a tidal wave effect until the gym was deafening with cheers. Within the time that it had taken them to play that song the entire school had made their way into the large room. All were cheering, except one. Rory. She was looking at Tristan with an emotionless stare. He heard the music start again and once more, it overtook him.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rory was reminded of the other time he'd sung to her, the last time that she had believed him incapable of loving.
---------------------------------------------------------
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from your sun
Inside your room
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
-------------------------------------------------------
Rory finally tore her eyes away, unable to look at him any longer. When he sang he was different, not himself, but still just Tristan, the same person who could always look straight into her soul and she could do nothing about it. The same one who drove her crazy, the same one she loved.
-------------------------------------------------------
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you grow colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
------------------------------------------------------
The cheers were louder than they were for the last song, even more deafening. People were screaming, louder than any audience they'd ever had anywhere else. Rory had tears in her eyes and she looked away, closing her eyes as the music started again and Tristan began to sing to her a last time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know anything at all and I'm somebody else
It could take years to find you
It could take years to find myself
And I don't want to hear your answer
I just need you to see
That I think it's time to break down
These walls that we throw
Am I still breathing
Have I lost that feeling
Am I made of glass
'Cause you see right through me
I don't know who I am
You're the only one who sees that
I can't ask these questions
That cannot be answered today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She looked back up and their eyes met, electricity shot through her like she'd never felt. Her anger and pain were forgotten for a moment as she realized what Tristan had done for her. The risk all six of the guys had taken by doing this for her, they were risking being expelled, for her. And she hadn't even bothered to listen to Tristan when he tried to explain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And even if everything goes wrong
And we start to fall apart
I will understand where you are
I will understand this by myself
And I don't need to hear your answer
I just need you to feel
Like there are no boundaries at all
Am I still breathing
Have I lost that feeling
Am I made of glass
'Cause you see right through me
I don't know who I am
You're the only one who sees that
I can't ask these questions
That cannot be answered today
Today I don't mind
I don't matter today
And how far have we come
Too far to throw away the past
Will you be there waiting for me
I have to ask what we are
If I ask today it just won't last
So I'll be here waiting for you
Will we ever feel this good again
Not today
Will we ever feel this real again
Not today
Will we ever feel this real again
Not today
Will you ever be mine again
Not today

As the song ended, the principle, the vice principle, and several teachers came over, to escort the six boys to the office. Rory watched them move towards the door and something took a hold of her. While the noise of the students was still deafening, she ran down the bleachers and jumped off the stairs, running to them. She caught them as they were in the door way leading from the gym to the main hall. Tristan turned upon seeing her running towards them. The rest of the group stopped when he did. She ran right up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, crushing their lips together. Tristan was caught off guard but recovered quickly, wrapping his arms around her waist tightly, the cheering crowd became louder as the other five boys joined in. Tristan was pulled away from her by his collar. The principle was more enraged than before at this display and he turned Tristan, marching him to the office with the rest. As Tristan was pulled away from her, Rory's hand slid from his grasp. She watched him go with a smile on her face. Katie, Natalie, and Erin ran to her, the crowd as loud as before. They started yelling excitedly, but all Rory was paying attention to was the chain Tristan had left in her hand, the clasp fixed.
A/N: Ah, so sweet. Review! Muah.
