Previously on Jack and Rose: Tristan and Rory?

Tristan got his Tux on and just wanted this night to be over as quick as it could. Not wanting to see John and Rory together a second longer. And a little excited that they wouldn't have to sneak around for once.

While John got ready with a steady smirk. Tonight he was going to have Rory Gilmore...

Ready she was ready or not.

8:25

John was talking to his friends and looking around the ball which was getting finishing touches, for quite a lot of people had showed up already.

His eyes stopped on one person in the crowd, he excused himself from his friends and headed toward the back.

Rory was talking to a crazy Debutante who was talking about kids and marriage when someone came up from behind her and took hold of her arm.

"You don't mind if I steal my Girlfriend for a moment, do you Shelly?" John said smoothly, winking at her, causing her to smirk at Rory and giggle.

John led Rory away from the others, and to a place more secluded.

"Ow, John, you're hurting my arm." Rory whimpered, glad for once that she had to wear gloves because he had most certainly caused a bruise on her wrist.

"Shut up. I saw him. Did you fuckin' invite him here!" John yelled, not to loudly so they wouldn't attract attention.

"Who?" She asked, although she already knew who he was talking about.

"Who? Who the fuck do you think I'm talking about? DuGrey! If you go near him, I'll fuckin' kill him." John warned, he brought up a hand to slap her, but stopped.

"Your lucky people are going to be seeing you, I don't want you to look anymore horrible than you already do." John said walking finally releasing her arm and walking away.

Rory held back tears and held her aching wrist.

"Debutantes! It's time!" A woman's shrill voice yelled.

Showtime.

9:12

The ceremony had gone smoothly.

She hadn't tripped or grimaced when she had to go to John.

The worst part was that she would rather do the feather dance before having to go around the Ball on John's arm, pretending to be the perfect couple.

Actually, the worst part was having to do all that with Tristan watching her.

When she came down the stairs, her eyes immediately found and connected with Tristan's.

The look in his eyes gave her chills. He was looking at her like she was the most precious thing in the world.

10:30

John had disappeared. Actually, she was pretty sure he had disappeared with Shelly. That dumb debutante.

Rory wandered out of the Hall and into the hallways, just wandering...

Oh who was she kidding, she was looking for Tristan. He had also disappeared.

She turned the corner in one of the Hallways and saw Tristan walking down it up ahead of her. She smirked and ran up behind him, pulling him into one of the empty rooms.

"What the.." But Tristan was cut off when Rory's lips covered his.

He quickly responded once he realized who it was and groaned. After a few minutes they broke apart, catching their breath.

Tristan chuckled.

"Remind you of something?" He asked her smirking, remembering the Ball on the Cruise.

Rory smiled and ran her hands up his chest under his jacket.

"Take off these stupid gloves so I can feel you." Tristan said smiling, pulling off the gloves.

"No Tris-

Tristan stared at the big ugly purple and blue bruise she had on her wrist.

"Did...did he..." Tristan started, not being able to finish his sentence.

"Yes." Rory whispered.

Tristan sighed deeply and closed her eyes, resting his head against the wall behind him.

He kissed her bruise lightly, and kissed her neck, holding her to his body.

"I promise he'll never hurt you agian. He won't ever be able to do this again. I'll make sure of it." Tristan promised her, even though he was saying it more to himself.

'If you go near him, I'll fuckin' kill him'

"Oh my god." Rory choked back a sob.

"Rory...Rory, what's wrong?" Tristan asked worriedly.

"You have to leave, you have to.." Rory said, crying softly.

"What, why! Rory talk to me!" Tristan asked confused.

"He'll kill you. He said he would...he's not joking."

Tristan stared at her for a second before quickly turning around and walking out of the hall.

Rory cried softly, and called his name.

She stood there for a second before realizing what he was doing and rushed after him.

"Tristan! Don't!"

Tristan didn't listen to her and she followed him into the Ball Room.

He walked determainedly over to John and grabbed his arm and pulled him around, his fist connecting with the side of John's face at the same time.

John stumbled back surprised, but quickly recovered and threw a punch at Tristan who blocked it easily, and punched him agian. John got the next punch in.

Rory watched frantically as they fought, worried not about Tristan, but the fact that he would go to far. He would seriously hurt John.

Finally, two men pulled Tristan and John apart from each other.

Of course, everyone in the Ball Room was now watching.

"You piece of shit!" Tristan yelled at John.

"Fuck you!"

"I swear to god if you ever go near her again!" Tristan warned.

"Tris..." Rory said quietly, but loud enough for Tristan to hear.

Tristan immediately calmed down and pulled his grasp away from the man that was holding him back and walked over to Rory, grabbing her hand and leading her out of the Ball Room.

"Rory! What happened to your wrist!" Richard asked, having come over to the commotion.

Rory stopped for a second, and looked at her Grandfather.

"Ask John." She said, before walking away.

"This isn't over DuGrey." John called to Tristan, causing Tristan to stop walking.

Rory looked pleadingly up at him. Tristan continued out of the Ball Room.
