Disclaimer: I own nothing except the idea of this fic.

"Ok, so what songs do you suggest?" Rory asked, sitting back while curled up in the corner of the sofa in the living room with Tristan on the other side, both sitting comfortably.

"I prefer rock, rock pop, alternative, that kind of thing. And some R&B and dance and stuff like that." Tristan explained.

"Okay, that works. My mom and I pretty much listen to almost anything, except classical! I just can't stand it because it's just too peaceful and we Gilmores need the upbeat life." Rory smiled.

"Photograph by Nickelback." Tristan suggested.

"Too mellow. Stick with you, Pussycat dolls." Rory shot back.

"What, you want me to sing like a girl? They sing HIGH!" Tristan looked in disbelief at Rory as she laughed. "Everything by Lifehouse."

"No, that's kinda peaceful too. You want the class to feel not energized because of us?" Rory asked. "Let's agree to have an upbeat song, okay?"

Looking into Rory's bright puppy-faced look, he couldn't dare say no. "Fine…" He reluctantly agreed, but felt his heart warm inside after seeing her face smile, brightening her entire face. "Tell me by Smilez and Southstar."

"Maybe…" Rory pointed at the desk where paper and writing utensils were. "Go write that down."

With a big sigh, Tristan reached over and grabbed the notepad, writing down the song. "Are you happy now, your majesty? I hoped I served you well." Gentlemanly, he bowed his head a little with an inquiring look on his face, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Rory bit her lip to not laugh. "Yes, my faithful servant." No longer able to control themselves, both burst out in loud laughter. A doorbell then chose that moment to interrupt.

Rory slowly got out of the sofa and opened the door. "Kirk! Hey!"

"I am here on a very important business, Rory." Slowly bringing a small box in front of her eyes, he said very slowly, as if carefully choosing his words. "A person told me to give this to you for you to have. He wants you to open it as soon as you get it."

Taking it from Kirk, she asked, "Who is it from?"

"I apologize but I can not say. I bid you good day now." Abruptly, Kirk turned and walked down the front steps.

Rory stared after him, and looked down in her hands. "Aren't you interesting…" Slowly, she closed the door with her foot and walked back into the room. She sat in front of the sofa of where she was sitting only a moment ago.

Tristan leaned forward and asked, "What is that?"

"I have no clue…" Rory said. She stared at it a while longer and finally opened the top. Inside laid a single cd, with the words "For Rory" in a familiar handwriting. She placed the cd into the dvd player, as it was the closest that could play cds. AN: I don't know if this is true, but its my story :) She walked back to her place on the sofa as the song started playing.

SORRY BY AVANT

I know I was wrong and was not fair

Playin games with your mind, cuz I knew you cared

Walking out of the door, every other night

And I knew two wrongs, wouldn't make a right

Now things have changed, and what you feel is not the same

I thought we could make ends meet, but you can't stand no more pain

And now I know the pain, and it is me

I'm lonely, and here is where I want you to be

A woman like you, is too precious to lose

And I am confused

What will I do, baby I love you

And

CHORUS

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

I'm sorry, Ohh yeah yeah, I'm sorry

I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I want you right here with me

I'm sorry, Ooh baby, I'm sorry, Sorry, I'm so sorry

I never knew what true love was, til you left me

And now the thought of you with someone else, hurts me deeply

I try to keep those thoughts out of my mind, but I think about you all the time

Where is our love, I must be out of my mind

Now what else can I do, to prove my love to you

I'm going crazy baby, and your love made me

I never should have done you wrong, and now I'm sittin here all alone

You should feel my pain, and for you I'll change

Can I have a second try, cuz without you what am I

And I know you don't want to see, a grown man cry

CHORUS

I'm sorry, I'm sorry babe, I'm sorry baby

I'm sorry, I don't want you to leave me

I'm sorry, Baby please, I'm so sorry

I want you to love me all the time

I need you to want me all the time

I'm sorry, Oh, oh, oh, oooh, oh, yes, I'm so sorry

I'm sorry I done you wrong

And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone (that's right)

See I got myself together now

So you don't have to worry about me runnin round (runnin around)

I'm sorry I done you wrong

And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone (that's right)

See I got myself together now

So you don't have to worry about me runnin around (you don't have to worry no

more babe)

I'm sorry I done you wrong (I'm sorry)

And I never, ever, ever wanna be alone (I'm sorry)(i'll be right here yea)

See I got myself together now (I'm sorry)(so please)

So you don't have to worry about me runnin around (I'm so sorry)

"Rory…?"

While the song was playing, Rory had eventually become stiff with a slight glare in her eyes.

"Dean…AGH!" Rory groaned in frustration. Tristan moved next to Rory and gently hugged her from the side, trying to comfort her. Unconsciously, her breathing calmed and her head rested on Tristan's shoulder.

"Are you okay now?" Tristan asked cautiously. 'Oh god, please don't tell me this is just a dream…a broken angel in my arms, how much longer will it last?'

"Yeah…thanks." She abruptly stood up to get the cd. As soon as Rory left his arms, Tristan's arms fell dejectedly to his sides and stood up.

"I should go now. It's almost six, and dinner starts at 7. Must keep up a good appearance in front of mother and father dearest, of course." Tristan rolled his eyes.

"Okay, let's just continue this tomorrow then. I'll walk you to the door." Side by side, they walked.

"Well, this is goodbye." Tristan said.

"I think we did good work today. We managed to put aside our differences and collaborated together in hopes of building a relationship and on our way of reaching our goal, which happened to be our sole purpose of being here." Rory answered.

"Erm…you've been hanging way too much with Paris…" Tristan pointed out. 'Relationship? We have a relationship now? OH! Damn, she probably means friendship…'

"Oh crap! I did, huh?" Rory looked shocked.

Tristan chuckled as he turned and walked down the steps, carelessly slinging his backpack. He turned around once he was near his car, only to say, "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." He then got into the car and drove off, never looking back and noticing that Rory was watching his every move.

AN: WHOO! You see that? THAT is the completed chapter six after many many months and terrible days of no motivation. Sorry, but I have a creative writing class now, and you will not believe how much we have to right. Takes all of my 'writing juice' and my ideas get into that instead of this by coincidence. It's gonna be another while before I update because got finals this week I did this thing instead of studying. Yes, shame on me. and major project thing for the next two weeks. So I hope there will be an update in at least within a month. Major apologies to all who reviewed and read and awaiting for the long update.

But now, as always, you've read so now review.
