All day, Rory had gotten questions of if she was with Tristan or John. She wanted to bite off their heads when they came up to her, but instead, she smiled and told them she was with John now, and happier. Just like the good girlfriend should.

It was Lunch time now, and Rory was sitting at John's table with his friends...not hers.

She would smile when she had to and kiss him when he kissed her. She felt nothing, but disgust when she kissed him. She thought about breaking up with him, but then told herself that he liked her and she should give him a chance.

She looked over to her usual table and saw Paris, Maddy, Louise, Mark and Jess were sitting there, Tristan was no where to be found.

This morning it took everything she had to not push John away and throw herself in Tristan's arms. She had seen him out of the corner of her eye when they first started kissing. Then she sensed him when he was watching them. She could always tell when he was looking at her. Her body got warm and fuzzy...

The kiss sure wasn't doing that...

'Stop it Rory! Think John! John! No more Tristan!' Rory thought. The room became hot and stuffy. She needed to get out of here.

"Babe. I'm gonna go take a walk. I need some air."

"Okay, I'll see you in our next class." He said smiling at her and kissing her.

Just like the good boyfriend should.

Rory entered the courtyard and took a deep breath. Fresh air didn't help. She felt like she was suffocating. She saw the bench that she had come to know as 'Tristan and hers' from when they talked. That was the first time she knew her feelings were true. That she really did like him.

She walked over and sat down, lost in thoughts that she didn't see anyone come up to her.

"Rory." Someone said so lightly that normally Rory wouldn't have been disturbed out of her thoughts.

But this time...it was Tristan.

"Tristan, um, hi." She said not knowing what to say.

"Hi...how are you?" Hoping to get a real answer, but wasn't expecting one.

"Good...great. I mean, I'm happy...what about you?" Putting up the facade again.

"Wishing you would stop lying to me." He said not going to be courteous anymore.

"What are you talking about!" She said indignantly, standing up.

"I'm talking about you putting up a facade every time we talk. The fact that you with him, and not be. Why Rory, god. Because of your Grandmother? Because she didn't like me?" He said loudly. He quieted and stepped close, very close to her.

"Rory, that day I made a promise to you that we would always be together. And I'm going to stick to that promise. But, right now, I'm gonna let you go. I'm not gonna talk to you or come up to you like this again. When you need me, I'll be there for you. So...I would kiss you, but your boyfriends watching." He said smiling slightly before walking off.

Rory watched him go for a second before turning around and going to John.

"Hey." She said smiling at him.

"What were you doing talking to him."

'Whoa, flashback. Hello Dean' Rory thought, having to fight back a small smile at the irony of it.

"He just came over, wanting to talk. To see if I was okay." She explained.

"I don't like you talking to him."

"I know."

"I really don't like it."

"I know."

"You're my girlfriend."

'Why does he have to remind me constantly?'

"I know."

" I don't want you talking to him."

"I k- What! No!"

"Rory! You talking to him is bad for people to think. What will they think when they see you getting cozy with you ex-boyfriend? It looks bad."

"Bad for who? He is my Ex-boyfriend, like you said. I can't just shut him out of my mind and heart."

"You still think about him?" He asked mad.

"Well...we just broke up a couple days ago..." She tried to explain.

He took a step closer towards her, grabbing her wrist, and again squeezing it hard.

"I don't want you to talk or even think about him ever again. Got me?" He said getting close to her.

"Ow, John.." She whimpered.

"Answer me!" He demanded, holding her wrist tighter.

"Fine! Fine." She relented.

He let go of her wrist and kissed, so if anyone saw, it would look like they were just kissing and talking.

The bell rang from the school. John pulled apart from her.

"Get to class." He ordered, leaving her, going inside leaving her to watch him walk up to a girl and smile and wink at the girl.

Rory was sitting in her car waiting for Jess and Mark to come out so they could leave. She looked down at her wrist which was now turning a black and blueish color, thinking about Tristan. She knew she wasn't supposed to, but she couldn't help it. When she thought about John, he mind immediately pointed out all the things Tristan was better at. Kissing, treating her better, even just talking to him.

"Hey, where's Mark?" Jess asked coming up to Rory and throwing her out of her thoughts.

"I don't know, I'm still waiting for him." She answered pulling her sleeve down, over her wrist.

"You okay?" He asked looking at her concerned.

"I'm fine." She said unconvincing.

"Sure, say that again and I might believe you." He said sarcastically.

"God, what is with everyone always asking me if I'm all right? What, do I have a sign over my head that says 'I'm NOT Fine'!" She yelled, fed up with everyone.

"No, it is the fact that you're dating that scum when you should be with Tristan!" Jess said just as loud.

"Shut up! You don't even know John!" She argued.

"I know enough. And I know you, Rory! Why are you with him! Huh? Why did you break up with Tristan? You were so happy with him! Now you are miserable! Why do that to yourself?" He said just as fed up with her, as she was with everyone.

Rory stared at him, not answering him.

"You better watch who you're calling scum, Mariano." John said coming up from behind them, having heard everything.

"Nope, I think I was right on target with what I said." Jess said glaring at John.

"Ya know what? Why don't you go back to Stars Hollow High, you don't belong here, in my school."

"Funny, last time I heard, Tristan was the King of CHilton, since when were you?"

"Since Tristan couldn't even hold onto his own girlfriend. Rory deserves a real man. Not that asshole. Right Rory?" He said turning to her.

Rory didn't know what to do. She stared at the ground and mumbled something.

"What was that? Didn't hear you." John said sarcastically, causing Jess to glare at him even more.

"I said you should leave John. We have to get home." Rory said gesturing to Mark who was walking up with Tristan behind him.

John immediately stared at Rory, pissed that she hadn't agreed with him when he told her.

"Give your keys to Jess, Rory. I'm taking you home." He ordered.

The last thing Rory wanted to do was get into his car.

"John, I should really-

"Rory!" He said loudly.

Rory sighed defeated before giving the keys to Jess and following John like he said.

"Rory..." Jess called after her.

"Don't worry Jess, I'll be fine." Rory said smiling at him.

Except Rory knew, she wouldn't be fine.

Rory and John had rode in silence. About ten minutes later they arrived in Hartford Park, over in a deserted area.

He got out of the car and told her to do the same. They stood there, Rory waiting for John to speak.

"You know, I noticed when you didn't agree with me. Also, when you were silent when Jess was talking to you before. I don't want that asshole talking to you about Tristan behind my back!"

"Jess isn't an asshole!" She argued, not wanting to hear a guy she loved as a brother being spoken about that way.

The next thing Rory knew she was on the ground.

He had punched her.

"Listen you little slut. If I ever hear you disagree with me again, I will not be that easy, got it?" He growled at her.

Rory couldn't speak, so she nodded furiously.

"Good. Now get into the car."
