She called for them to come in.
'I wanted to—' Rory bolted up and glared at him.
'What are you doing here?' she asked through gritted teeth.
'Rory, why were you do mad at me for not telling you? I wanted it to be a surprise.' Rory stood up and started to pace.
'You wanna know why I'm mad at you? Okay, fine, I'll tell you. Because everything I said during that scene in the park as Kim was true! It all was.' She fiercely wiped away her tears.
'I know it's only been three and a half weeks but I love you, Tristan. I can't get you out of my head and when I do I feel bad. I've had my heart broken Tristan, and it hurt like a brick landed on my heart, shattered it and it had to be put back together, but when you told me that you knew, I felt like a brick landed on my heart and I couldn't even pick up the pieces it was smashed so much.' Tristan stared at her with her confession. He stepped forward.
'Don't come near me.' She warned backing up. He followed her until she was trapped between him and the wall.
'Leave me alone!' She growled. He moved forward. She acted on impulse and slapped him across the cheek.
'Why couldn't you just leave me alone?' She whimpered.
'Because I love you too.' He said not paying attention to his stinging cheek.
'No you don't. You just have this need to prove to people—'
'Godammit, Rory! I've loved you since we were at Chilton, so don't go telling me that I don't love you because I love you more then I can deal with.' The tears were still streaming down her face,
'Then prove it.' She said pushing him away and running out of her trailer. Tristan watched her run and ran his hands through his hair before he sat down on her bed and put his head in his hands. The tears started to threaten. He was about to let lose when he heard someone come into the room. It was Sarah.
'Look, I totally understand if you don't want to trust me because of that whole girlfriend incident, but I think you should go after her. You love each other; it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. I know it, you know it, and she knows it. Now go prove it.' He just sat there.
'The sun goes down Tristan, and once the sky gets just a little bit darker, you know you've wasted your time.'
'We went to the same high school for one and a half years. I was sent to military school and the night that I left, she kissed me goodbye. I was too stupid to do something about it then—'
'Then why are you spending your bloody time here, instead of being smart and doing something about it now?'
'You know for someone who made Rory mad as hell at me, you sure now what you're doing.'
'Of course I do. Now, I do believe running makes you farther from the thing you're coming from then just sitting.' He smiled quickly and ran out of the trailer and to the parking lot. Her car wasn't there anymore which meant that she would not be around anymore. The movie was over, and apparently so was the relationship. He sighed and sat on the curb when he saw her car come back into view. She got out of the car and stood there in front of Tristan. He stood up and stared at her.
'I'm glad you're back.' He said softly.
'Me too, I would have had a hard time doing laundry without my laundry.' She said before she started to walk back to her trailer. Tristan bit his lip and turned around watching her walk away once again. He shook his head and walked behind her allowing the feeling in his stomach because she was ignoring him. She opened her trailer door and before Tristan could come in as well, Rory was on her way out loaded down with bags.
'Do you want me—?'
'Yes, I want you to go fuck yourself.' She said vehemently before proceeding to stumble. He shook his head and sighed.
'Rory, please, just listen to me.' She stopped and turned around.
'My heart was broken today. Do you not get that? I mean, god, why didn't you just tell me? I would have been surprised without having my heart feel like it was ripped out numerous times.'
'I know, and I'm sorry. I should have told you. But I didn't, and for that, I will always regret it.' He walked closer to her.
'Do you know what it's like to love someone where all you could care about it them and when you'll see them again? Or, how long you can keep the relationship going…or, or, what you would do so that the other person never leaves you? I love you, Tristan! I already spilled my heart out to you—'
'I made a mistake. A big one, but Rory, I'm only human. I didn't think it through completely—'
'Oh so when you cheat on me and come to me with the "I'm human, and I didn't think it through fully" bull shit, I'm just supposed to take you back?'
'That was a bad analogy, because I would never do something so deliberately hurtful, and I would never do anything intentionally hurtful to you. You're too rare to do that. I have—had you, and I wouldn't give that up for the world. Right now, I would do anything just to have you be in my arms again.' Rory looked down. He walked closer and lifted her chin with his finger.
'I'm sorry, okay? I thought it would be a great surprise, but it obviously wasn't.' she wiped away a tear.
'Uhh, I'm a mess!' she said breaking the eye contact.
'Yea, you are. But you can blame that on me.' He said smiling sincerely. She let a small smile appear before she allowed him to take her into his arms and hold on tight.
'Never let go.' She whispered burying her head into his shirt letting her tears soak through.
'I'll still be holding you when the next 400 meteor showers come.'
'What about the 401?'
'Oh I'll be holding you even tighter.'
A/N: Sappy and emotional chapter. I liked it though, what did you think of it? I know I said that this happened summer before sophomore year, but I'm going to push it up a little. She's going into her third year at Yale (aka what would be this season had she stayed with it…:0(…anyways..) and she and Logan didn't last long and she never committed a crime and she and Lorelai are still talking like before. Alright, reviews please! Thanks, Kiki.
