In My World
I do not own Gilmore Girls or the original characters. I own the other girls and this story and that's pretty much it. You can have the penny that's sitting in front of my if you want.
Rating is T or PG-13 for basic sexuality and a lot of cursing.
All comments/questions are accepted so don't feel shy.

The girls were talking in hushed whispers so they didn't wake up Rory. They'd been talking for the past hour about what could have happened last night since Rory had come home at 5 am and immediately went to sleep. Kate, who had been up waiting for her, had asked her about her night. Rory raised her eyebrows and kept walking as if Kate had not said a word.
"So tell me again what happened." Tessa said.
"Well you know one of use has to stay up until everyone gets back in, and well when Rory came back, she looked somewhat dazed and confused, but then over that, she had a look of self accomplishment." The girls gave confused glances. Kate put her hands up.
"Maybe it has to do with Tristan." Sam said biting her lip.
"Should we talk to him?" Mary asked. No one said or did anything except stared at the floor.
"I'll go if you guys want me too." Mary offered. They all looked up.
"Are you sure?" Tessa asked. Mary nodded. They all nodded. Mary stood up, went to Rory's purse and found his number in her contact list. She quickly scribbled it down and put Rory's purse how it was before she went through it. She called the number.
Hello?
Hi, this is Rory's friend, Mary.
Hi…
Look, I think we need to talk. Where can I meet you today?
Uhh, I'm going to be in classes from 11 until four. We can meet for coffee or something before or after.
Sure, how's 9 this morning?
Sounds good.
Thank you, Tristan.
For what? I haven't done anything besides agree to meet with you.
I know, but thank you.
"So what should I ask him?" Mary said after hanging up the phone.
"About Rory's past…what happened last night, things like that." Tessa said. She nodded and sighed. She looked at the digital clock on the end table and picked up her bag.
"Best be going now. I'll call you if anything major turns up." They all nodded and watched Mary put on her coat and leave. Mary looked at her cell phone clock and walked a little faster so she wouldn't be late. She fnally came upon the coffee shop and saw Tristan already sitting and drinking coffee. She walked over to him and plopped down in the chair across from him. He looked up.
"Hey."
"Hi." Mary said quietly.
"Do you want some coffee?"
"No thank you. I just came on behalf of Rory's friends." Tristan nodded confused.
"We're worried about her, and honestly none of us know much about her, and we know that you knew her a while back…and well I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about her." Tristan nodded.
"Well, I went to school with her for about a year in a half but I'll tell you what I know, " Mary nodded for him to continue. "I met her a little bit into 10th grade, and immediately she captured my attention. She had this glow about her, you could just tell how innocent she was and how unaffected by status she was. I nicknamed her Mary, like the Virgin Mary—no offense to you, but it suited her. She hated it—"
"I really hate to interrupt you, but I need facts before I die of curiosity."
"Right, sorry. I know her mom and her were amazingly close. Like freakishly close, and they told each other everything. Her mom had her at 16, and she was in the picture completely unlike her father who didn't really appear in her life until she was 16. She has—had this obsession with books, at parties you'd see her reading in the corner. She dressed very conservatively, and never used curse words or words like hell. She loved school to the degree of unhealthy and one day on her way to school a deer hit her car." He thought of anything he left out.
"And now?" Mary asked.
"She's…unrecognizable. I mean if she didn't have the same face or eyes, I would never have guessed who she was."
"And the party? What happened last night?"
"We played Truth or Dare and Never Have I Ever."
"Uh huh…"
"She did some sexual thing in the closet with one of my guy friends, admitted to having done something sexual with a prostitute, admit—"
"Because of what she did sexually with your friend, right?" Tristan looked at her like she was crazy. She realized what she just said.
"Never mind, what else?"
"She's had sex with more then four guys in one night, and she's been pregnant. That's basically it for the party."
"She never tells us anything."
"Apparently."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Is Rory home now?"
"Yea, she's sleeping."
"And you know this how?" he asked with a biting tone.
"Because I live with her!"
"She didn't happen to get a ride home from a guy, did she?"
"I have no idea. We live in apartment, I didn't see her arrive, just sleep."
"I think Rory's doing something really stupid."
"Oh?"
"She accepted money, a nice wad of it too, and climbed into this guys car."
"You told me that Rory's father wasn't around much, so are you trying to fill his place?"
"No, why?"
"Because Rory is 23, she's old enough accept money from a guy and to go into said guy's car so he can bring her to the Chinese restaurant to pick up the food we ordered." Mary said thinking quickly.
"Your just as bad as her! How the hell do you think I'm supposed to believe that."
"You haven't been in Rory's life for a while now, don't come back now. She doesn't need you."
"I got that."
"I'm not even sure why Rory bothered with you in the first place." Mary said standing up.
"Great so you all have 24/7 PMS." He retorted. Mary's jaw hung open. She sat down again.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" he shook his head.
"I can tell you why that is. If you knew anything about Rory or the female species for that matter, you would know to never make a comment like that…ever. As of now, the only you have going for you is your looks, but trust me, that goes away after awhile." Mary stood up abruptly and walked out of the shop. Tristan stared out after her in a shocked expression. When Mary got back, she slammed the door shut.
"Rory, I need to talk to you." Mary said when she saw Rory sitting at the table reading. Rory put her book down and nodded.
"Yea?"
"Tristan saw you last night making a deal with a guy." Rory covered her mouth in panic.
"Fuck." She said sighing.
"I suggest you do something because the excuse I made was pretty shitty." Mary said before dropping her bag on the floor and pouring herself a cup of coffee. Rory nodded and stood up. Her cell phone rang and Rory ran over and picked it up.
Hello?
Rory hi, it's Tristan.
Oh…hi.
Can we talk this afternoon?
Not sure about that. I'll call you later though.
"Rory…I talked to Tristan this morning." Mary said after Rory flipped her phone shut. Rory nodded.
"I figured that."
"I hear you engaged in a game of Truth or Dare and Never Have I Ever."
"Yup."
"So…Tristan seemed pretty surprised by what happened."
"Yea well he hasn't seen me in over 6 years. I'm different now."
"Yea I see that." Mary said. Sam came out of her room and poured herself a cup of coffee too.
"Sup Mary." Sam said smiling. Mary laughed.
"So what are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing in particular, although Rory made a deal with a guy last night. Tristan saw." Sam cringed.
"Umm oops." Sam said looking at Rory and then walked away. Mary sat down across from Rory.
"What did he tell you?" Rory asked sighing sadly. Mary took a deep breath, bit her lip and let the breath go.
"Rory…the girls and I are worried…"
This wusnt the chapeter is was going to be. Next one will be thow. I'm exited to rite most of that one. Shood be fun! Thanks for reviewing! Emilie.
Gilmoregirl7878: Thank you so much for your suggestion! I greatly appreciate it, but it'll be slightly weird to change it now so I'm going to stick with the hooker thing. I'd like to read your story though when you start it. So go for it! It's all yours. But yea, I need her to be a prostitute for this to work I think, but thank you anyway!
