Lost In You

Chapter 6: Madeline's Party Disaster

Since the fight Tristan and Rory hadn't spoken to each other, and the fact that the dance was getting closer didn't help matters, after all it had been the reason for their disastrous fight. Rory was as usual expecting Tristan to go around to her place that night and apologize, it had always happened, well until this fight. He hadn't turned up and she had waited up all night, which was the saddest thing of all, especially since she had to turn up at school the next day and pretend like nothing had happened.

The dance was getting closer and therefore so was Christmas. The dance also meant that she was going with Logan, she till wasn't sure who was going with Tristan, he had kept it pretty low-profile which surprised even Rory.

Rory was seated in her room watching TV when her cell rang. She glanced at the caller id and saw that it was Logan.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey Rory, how are you?" He answered back cheerfully.

"Yeah I'm good thanks. What you up to?"

"Nothing much. I was just wondering if you wanted to go to Madeline's party tonight." He asked sounding almost self conscience.

Rory thought for a moment, she knew that Tristan would be there. "Yeah sure,"

"Great. Well I'll come around at get you at around 9?" He replied sounding excited.

"Yeah that'd be great. Thanks Logan I'll see you then," And with that Rory ended the call.

Tonight would be the first time she would have to finally face Tristan. At school it tended to be a lot easier to ignore him, he would go get his meal in the cafeteria when Rory sat down to eat and when he returned Rory suddenly needed to visit the ladies room. All their friends knew what was going on, but none would question them. Rory and Tristan always had a way of working things out with each other.

It was 9pm and Rory looked at herself in the mirror, she had on a pale pink Rebecca Taylor dress which had ribbon detail and flowed beautifully over her curves. She smiled, it wasn't dressy but it was still very casual and suitable to wear to a party. She heard the beep of a horn and looked out the window and spotted Logan's car in the driveway. Rory made her way down the staircase and out the front door. Logan was leant up against the door of his car with a long-stemmed rose in his hand. Rory smiled.

"I thought we were just going to a party," She moved over towards him as he handed her the rose, he then leant in to kiss her on the cheek.

"I still deserve the right to make my date feel special don't I?" Logan smiled as he walked around to the other side of the car opening the door for her, once she was inside, he closed the door and made his way back around to the driver's seat hopping in.

When Rory and Logan arrived at Madeline's house, Logan parked his car and they both made their way towards the house. As they entered Rory immediately spotted Tristan. Coincidently he was positioned in the foyer of the house clearing making his tongue welcome in a junior's mouth. Rory rolled her eyes and made her way towards the girls.

Madeline beamed at Rory as she made her way over to the circle.

"I can't believe Logan is here with you,"

"What's so weird about that?" Rory questioned.

"Logan doesn't usually spend too much time pining over a girl, what have you done to this boy?" Madeline laughed.

Rory just smiled and turned around to see if Tristan was still in the foyer. She couldn't believe him; he had obviously stood there just to gain her attention when she walked in. But then again, was she any better, what was her motivation for being her tonight? Making Tristan jealous, of course.

Rory had now been at the party for a few hours and was making her way towards the kitchen for another drink. Once she had grabbed her drink she made her way outside, she spotted a seat in Madeline's garden and headed for it. Rory was seated on the seat when she heard a scuffle in the grass in front of her. Before Rory could stand and look where the noise was coming from, a figure was stumbling towards her. When she noticed who it was she groaned…Tristan, but of course.

Rory was intending on ignoring him until he spoke.

"Hi,"

She looked up and replied rudely, "Hi," she sipped her drink and looked past him.

"You know you can't ignore me forever," She could tell he was drunk, but at least he wasn't slurring his words.

"I can try,"

He moved over and sat down on the seat opposite her. The light hit his face and she realized that maybe he was serious in wanting to talk, but she wasn't about to give in.

"Look Ror-"

"Tristan look I don't think trying to sort out our failed friendship is sensible right now," Rory looked out at the garden again.

"And why is that Rory?" Tristan said with a touch of annoyance in his voice.

"Because when we've both been drinking it's not worth it,"

"Well not if you're going to be a bitch about it all," Tristan replied coldly.

"On that note I'll leave," Rory stood up and walked back inside before he could stop her.

Once Rory had entered the party again she was on a mission to find Logan, she didn't want to be here anymore, it had been an awful idea to come in the first place.

Finally after a few minutes searching she spotted Logan and smiled at him when he noticed her. He was standing with Finn, he handed Finn his drink and walked over to her.

"Hey what's up?" He asked, looking concerned after noticing the distressed look upon her face.

"Can we go?" Rory didn't hesitate in telling him why she had found him.

"Yeah, what happened?" He looked worried.

"I'll tell you in the car,"

"Sure ok let's go," He looked over to Finn and yelled out "See ya,"

The two made their way to the front door as Madeline sauntered past.

"Hey Madeline, we're going," Rory stopped her.

"Oh ok, thanks for coming you guys, see ya," Madeline replied, as she continued walking off.

It was the morning after Madeline's party and Rory had just woken up. Tristan had attempted to talk to her, but she had blown him off. Rory was still unsure if she had done the right thing by ignoring him. She looked over at her cell and noticed that it was 11am. She laughed and got up. Today was Friday and she should have been at school but tonight was also the Christmas dance, so she figured that she deserved the day off and besides she rarely took days off school.

It was now 6pm and the dance was due to start at 7pm but due to her commitment as organizer she had to be there half an hour earlier. Logan was again going to pick her up and take her to the dance; they had decided that after he dropped her off last night. Something else had also happened last night when he dropped her off. Logan and Rory had made out, something Rory wasn't expecting but didn't hate either. Rory wasn't sure if anything would happen between them, but now that Tristan and her weren't "together" as such, maybe they would have a chance. But she was still confused about her feelings for Tristan.

There was a knock at the door and since Rory was already standing in the foyer she answered the door, to be greeted by a suave looking Logan. He smiled at her and handed her another rose.

"Oh is this becoming a tradition for our dates?" She wondered, smiling up at him.

"Well let's hope we go on ten more dates and you'll have a nice bunch," Logan replied smiling back.

Rory again smiled at him and made her way out the door.

It was now 9pm and Rory still hadn't seen Tristan anywhere. Rory made her way out the front of the hall with Paris and sat down on a park bench together.

"It's nicer out here, it's so hot in there," Paris commented.

Rory didn't answer back and Paris became concerned.

"What's wrong Rory?"

"Nothing. Why do you ask?" Rory lied, looking at her feet.

"Don't' say that tell me what's bothering you. It's Tristan isn't it?"

"Yeah," Rory replied quietly.

"Then I think we both know what you need to do Ror," Paris said knowingly.

"He won't want to talk. I ruined any chance of that happening at Madeline's party,"

"It's Tristan. He'll forgive you, just give him some time. I think that Tristan not being here shows how much it's getting to him. Tristan never misses a dance,"

Rory nodded as Paris got up and walked back inside.

Rory got her cell out of her clutch and dialed Tristan's number.

"Hello?" He answered sounding surprised.

"Hey, are you at home?"

"Yeah, why what's wrong?" He asked beginning to sound worried.

"Nothings wrong. I'm on my way over. We've gotta sort this out,"

"See you soon," He replied.
