Hiya….. so now my internets back….Yay! Ican post the next chapter. I've jumped forward in time quite a bit but it means I get to the important stuff. This might be the final chapter. If I get reviews wanting me to carry on I will continue to write this one. But don't worry I've got an idea for a new story which is a Harry Potter cross over and we can see what happens when our favourite girls go magic… so with no further ado hers chapter 16.
Chapter 16- Birthday surprisesSeveral weeks have passed, Rory and Tristan delivered their presentation and got A's. And Lorelai crept into the living room to use the phone.
The phone rang for a short while then he picked up "Tristan" Lorelai half whispered.
"Yeah, who is it?" he asked.
"Lorelai"
"Who?"
"Lorelai, Rory's mom"
"Oh, hi. I don't mean to be rude but why are you calling me? Rory's ok isn't she? She's been so off for weeks now. Pouring herself into her schoolwork. She wont talk about him, you know."
"Yeah I know" Lorelai admitted. She herself had witnessed how withdrawn and miserable her daughter had become. Rory had always been the studious type but now she rarely did anything else. Even movie nights had been abandoned. "Actually I'm calling to arrange something to cheer her up. Its her birthday next Saturday, and I want to hold a party for her here"
"That's a great idea" Tristan was enthusiastic, anything that could get Rory out of this funk she was in was fine by him.
"OK, good. Look I need you to keep her out of the house until four so I can get everyone here." Lorelai explained
"Yeah, sure, I'll figure something out." He said.
"Good"
Tristan could her a muffled voice in the background "mom?"
"I have to go" Lorelai said hastily.
"OK, bye" said Tristan but all he could her was a dialling tone.
"Who was that?" Rory questioned
"No-one" Lorelai claimed.
Rory knew her mom was lying but didn't bother trying to get the truth out of her. "Fine, I'm going to study in my room" and she began to walk away.
"Rory why don't you do something…" She was cut off by a door slam.
"Well come on" Tristan said, dragging Rory way past the Library where they'd arranged to meet for Tristan to get help on his History assignment.
"Where are we going?" Rory asked.
"For coffee" Tristan said as though it was obvious.
"But we're meant to be studying" protested Rory.
"Well I had to get you out of the house somehow" Tristan explained matter-of-factly "Especially on your birthday"
"You tricked me?" Rory asked
"Would you have come if you knew the truth? Honestly?" Tristan asked.
"No" Rory admitted.
They sat down at a table in this very cosy little coffee house. "This is nice" Rory admitted.
"Could be nicer" Tristan said cupping her face in his hands. "Please stop worrying. It'll all turn out fine. If it doesn't you have my permission to kill me" He offered, and Rory smiled.
"You're really something Tristan DuGrey," she said, not completely forgetting her problems but they momentarily lessened as Tristan leant forward and gave her a gentle, tender but passionate kiss.
Meanwhile at the hospital Matt was twisting and turning in an unusually uncomfortable sleep.
He was with her on the beach, she was much younger, making a sandcastle with him.
Next they were all standing outside their house adorned with Christmas lights
He was standing in the doorway, smiling at her, chuckling as she tried to figure out why her alarm was going off.
Handing her a heavy book and hugging her tightly.
His heart hurting as he watched her walk off into those heavy oak doors.
He woke suddenly "Rory" he whispered "Rory!" he was astounded. "Nurse what day is it?" he asked the woman next to him in the sky blue uniform.
"The 15th of October" she let him know then walked off.
"SHIT" he exclaimed and pulled on his clothes. He had to get there.
"SURPRISE" Rory was astounded. Her Birthday parties were always huge. But practically the entire town had turned up. Plus, was that her grandparents? Both sets? OMG! She stood in shock. Just wordless. All these people had come to see her.
"Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy birthday our Rory,
Happy birthday to you"
The whole room chorused.
The cake was huge, good job too if it was to feed this lot.
"Blow them out honey" he mum whispered grabbing the camera.
Rory held back her hair wishing so hard that he was here to celebrate with. She blew with all her might, the flash from the camera blinded her momentarily then there he was. It was a miracle; standing directly in front of her, grinning broadly was Matt.
Her heart was burst with joy.
Please let me know what you think of this, also I just realised my Title has nothing to do with the story. Any ideas?
