Disclaimer: Sadly, nothing...
A/N: I'm all sad right now because I just watched Titanic, it was the first time in a couple years that I've seen that, I wanted to watch for some weird reason, that movie is so sad. I always cry. Anyways, right now I'm listening to Celine Dion's song, I'm depressed right now, haha. I have school on Wednesday, I really, really don't want to go back, at all.
Oh, IMPORTANT!
In the last chapter I said this story is coming to a end if I couldn't think of anything to do, well I have an idea now, and its gonna last longer now. If anyone wants a hint, I'll give them one.
Whoever thought John was gone, was sadly mistaken.
Enjoy

Later that Night, Around 9ish.
Lane, Jess, Mark, Tristan, and Rory were hanging out in Luke's old apartment hanging out, watching movies, while Luke was with Lorelai at the Crap Shack.
They were all having a good time, when the phone rang. Jess went up to get it.
"Lorelai? Yea...sure...are you okay? Okay." They heard Jess say.
"Rory, its your Mom, she's upset." Jess said handing the phone to her.
She got up and walked down to the diner to get privacy.
"Mom?"
"Rory..." Lorelai said crying
"Mom, what's wrong?" Rory said a little scared now.
"It's...it's Emily, she, well the boat got caught in a storm...and was submerged...they never found her body." After she ended Lorelai broke down.
Rory was shocked she couldn't think.
"Rory? Listen, come home and I'll drive you and Lorelai to your Grandfather's house, okay? Get the guys to walk you back."
"Okay." Rory said in a shaky voice.
She hung up and started up the stars.
She felt like a glass of water, about to tip over at anytime.
When she opened the door up to Luke's apartment and saw Tristan's worried face...
She tipped over.
She collapsed on the floor, sobs racking her body. Tristan was the first to go over and pull her into his lap, while the others hovered over them.
"Ror, what's wrong?"
"She..she...the boat." Rory started.
"Home..I need to go home." Rory finally said.
They all started to walk toward the Gilmore House, Rory was hugging Tristan's torso, crying, while he supported her and walked.
When they walked in they saw Luke comforting a shaken and upset Lorelai, but she wasn't sobbing, she was just crying softly. She had to be strong for Rory.
The minute they entered the Crap Shack, Rory went straight into her Mother's arms, while the rest of them just watched.
The guys pulled aside Luke and asked him what was going on, he explained and they were all shocked.
A little while later Luke drove the Gilmore Girls to Richard's House. He was crying and a wreck, but Lorelai and Rory got him to bed and went to sleep in Lorelai's old room together for the night, so they could be there for him.
Later that night. Tristan learned that his Grandfather and Parents were safe and sound, not many lives were taken that night.
Only around, twenty people, one of them was Emily Gilmore.

Around 3AM that Night or Morning
Rory couldn't sleep, so she quietly left the room and went downstairs.
She sat in the living room, that they had spent many nights having drinks and talking.
The thought of their last conversation, ringing in her ears.
"Grandma, I left you a message that I'm going back home with Tristan." She said in a monotone voice.
Rory choked back a sob.
"Like John!" Rory yelled angry now. "Grandma, he was an asshole! He hit me! He tried to sleep with me! Yea, John was a real good guy. Don't call me again." Rory said hanging up.
She broke down, hugging one of her Grandmother's couch pillows.
"I love you Grandma, no matter what ever happened." She whispered into the empty room.

The next two weeks went fast for the Gilmore Family.
The funeral and wake was held a week after and Rory was feeling numb.
She was avoiding Tristan, as well as everyone else, including her mother.
She stayed by her Grandfather's side a lot, they talked and reminisced.
Today was a Wednesday.
The first day of her Senior Year at Chilton. (I know I skipped a lot of time, SORRY! Had too!)
She got dressed and headed out to the Jeep, that her Mother was letting her borrow to take to Chilton.
Luke had signed Jess and Mark up to go to Chilton, hoping that they would straighten out more going to a school that challenged them and that had Rory there, so they drove together.
They barely talked on the ride there, well, Rory barely talked, Jess and Mark were freaking out because of the uniforms the whole ride to Chilton.
When they arrived, they got out and Rory went with the twins to the Headmaster's office.
They got the same, 'Not Everyone Succeeds at Chilton, and you have to shape up' and also a 'your past behavior will not be aloud here' speech, which they both barely got through without laughing at him.
They went to find their lockers while Rory went to find hers'.
She was putting her books in when a pair of arms wrapped around her, she knew who it was immediately and turned around to face him.
"Hey Tristan."
"Hey you." He said before kissing her lightly, she pulled away.
"Oh sorry, no kissing in the hallway, got ya," He teased.
"No, it's not that..I've just gotta get to class." She mumbled before scurrying off to find Jess and Mark and head to their first class, leaving a confused and hurt Tristan in her wake.

Lunch, Period Six
Rory was avoiding everyone, and was walking in the courtyard, just thinking.
She wasn't hungry, she wasn't hungry at all these days. She was walking in silence, until.
"Rory!" Was called behind her, she stopped and turned around.
"Oh, um, hi."
"Hi."
"I was wondering if you, um, if you were alright." She said, not wanting to say dead.
"Yea, I was lucky, listen, I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother." John said.
"Thanks." Rory said before going to turn away.
"Wait!" John said catching her arm, so she was turned back around. "I...I wanted to apologize for everything that happened on the cruise. I was out of line, really out of line. I should have never done anything like that." He admitted.
"Yea, you shouldn't have." Rory said coldly.
"I know, I just, well, when things like that happen, you gain a new perspective on life, ya know?" He admitted timidly.
For the first time, Rory softened a little...he did seem different.
"Yea, I can, well actually, I can't imagine, but I kinda understand." She said smiling at him slightly, who smiled back.
"I don't think I've ever seen you smile. It lights up your eyes." He said.
"That was corny." She teased.
"Yea, well, can't blame a guy." He admitted sheepishly.
"Well, I've gotta go, I'll talk to you again, I guess."
"Wait, friends? Or at least, you don't hate me?" He asked quickly.
"I don't hate you, I've never hated anyone, but you came close."
"Are you still with DuGrey?" He asked curiously.
Rory didn't answer at first, closing her eyes for a minute.
"No! That is unacceptable! You can not be with Tristan DuGrey! You should be with someone like-
Her Grandmother's voice swept through her mind.
"Um, yea...I guess, well I gotta go." She said before quickly rushing off.

Rory entered the lunchroom to see Mark, Jess, Tristan, Louise, and Madeline sitting at the same table. Paris hovering near by Louise and Madeline.
Louise was staring lustfully at Jess who was talking to her with a firm smirk on his face, while Madeline was talking to Tristan.
When she approached the table, Tristan immediately smiled at her and pulled out the chair next to him, for her to sit down, which she did.
"So Rory, you two like, totally together now?" Madeline asked her bubbly.
"Yup." She said forcing a smile.
"No! That is unacceptable! You can not be with Tristan DuGrey! You should be with someone like-
Rang through her head again.
Luckily, the bell rang, and Rory could escape into the classrooms, losing herself in learning.

Rory was sitting in the Jeep, waiting for Mark to detach Jess from Louise's body, but wasn't succeeding.
"Hey, Ror." Tristan said coming up to the driver seat.
"Hey." Rory said getting out of the car and facing him.
"So, how does it feel to be a senior?" He said hoping to bring some conversation out of her.
"Good, I guess."
And she was silent again.
"Listen, Rory, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine." She said unconvincingly, shielding her eyes of all emotion.
"Dammit Rory! What the hell is going on!" Tristan yelled, frustrated.
"Nothing! God, what the Hell, Tristan!" She yelled back.
"Why have you been avoiding me for the past couple weeks? Why won't you let me do anything to comfort you, why won't you let me get in?" He pleaded.
"Because I don't want you to!" She yelled, then was silent, shocked that she had just said that.
Tristan looked like he had just been punched.
"Tristan..." She started, but he shook his head and backed away toward his car.
He got in and shut his door when Rory went over to his rolled down window.
"Tristan, listen to me," She pleaded.
"No, you listen. I've called you constantly. I've come by your house, just to have your Mom to tell me that you were locked in your room or at your Grandfathers. I get it Rory, I mean your Grandmother died. But, mine did too, so don't act like no one understands!" He said angrily.
"Tristan, my Grandmother, she, she didn't want me to... and now I can't do anything so, we need to.." She trailed off.
But Tristan got the hint.
"You know what Rory, fine, if you want to break up, whatever, at least now I know that you never meant any of the things that you said on the cruise. I was just a quick fuck." He said before driving away.
Rory walked over to her car, tears threatening to fall, where Jess and Mark were waiting, having seen the confrontation.
She handed the keys to Mark and got in the back seat.
When she got home she locked herself in her room, finally letting the tears spill.
She loved Tristan, more than anything else. But, her Grandmother wanted one thing, and that was to not date Tristan. The least she could do was give her that. The last thing she wanted was Rory to be with John, so that is what she was going to do.

Tristan drove quickly, breaking all kinds of speeding laws, and parked at what he called his sanctuary.
He sat in his car. It was in a old dirt road, that was a dead end and no one knew about, but it ended up in the woods, under a big weeping willow. He found it after he got in a fight with his Father a couple years back. He went there when he needed to be alone.
He stared at the tree, he felt as if his heart had been ripped out.
Rory, the girl he had loved more than his own life, had just broken up with him.
He didn't know if she ever loved him at all.
He punched his steering wheel a couple times before breaking down.
Tristan didn't know the last time he had cried, maybe when his Grandmother died.
He was five then.
But Tristan couldn't stop the pain.

A/N: DON'T HATE ME FOR BREAKING THEM UP AND BRINGING BACK JOHN! I know all of you hate me for letting John live and bringing him back and breaking up Rory and Tristan, I'M SORRY! But we all know that Rory does really stupid stuff when she is sad and is under pressure. I mean, quitting Yale, going to NYC, only to miss her Mother's Graduation Day, Sleeping with Dean, I mean, I can really see Rory doing something like that on the show, can't you? Anyways, NEVER FEAR, THIS IS A TRORY! And John isn't a nice guy, don't worry, I have plans.
