Chapter 9
they say this town/ the stars stay up all night/ Don't know, can't see 'em/ for the glow of the neon lights/ and it's a long way home/ to the place when the home fires burn/ Well, it's 2000 miles and one left turn/
Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny.
I don't need much just enough to get through.
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright.
(I'm playing here at the bar tonight)
This time I'm gonna make sure our dreams come true. . .
Well, I love you more that anything in the world.
Love,
Your Baby Girl
/ Black top, blue sky/ Big town full of little white lies/ everybody's your friend, you can never be sure/ They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings. All sorts of shiny things/ Girl, you'll remember what your knees are for/

I know that I'm on my way/ I can tell every time I play/ and I know it's worth all the dues I pay/ when I can write to you and say . . ./
Dear Mom and Dad,

And there are fancy cars and diamonds rings
But you know that they don't mean a thing
They all add up to nothing compared to you
I love you more than anything in the world

They went to Doose's and got some candy, drinks, and ice cream. Then Rory seen Dean they were in the line to check out. She told herself that she wasn't going to let him get to her. Tristan had his hands on her hips and they walked through the line. Dean looked at her.
Dean: Rory.
Rory: what do you want Dean?
Dean: You but I see that you got this rich preppy guy already.
Tristan: hey I don't know who you are but don't you ever say something like that again.
Dean: why what are you gonna do about it.
Tristan: nothing I don't even know you and I don't want to beat the shit out of you in your own town.
Dean: you wouldn't beat the shit out of me.
Tristan was about to say something but Rory stopped him by capturing his lips into hers because she couldn't think of anything to say. Dean just stood there starting at them.
Rory: I don't want you back Dean. And I wouldn't go back out with you even if I wasn't with Tristan. But I am with Tristan and I like him a lot.
Dean: fine whatever you bitch. Do whatever you want. I'm too good for you anyways.
Tristan: don't you ever talk to her like that again. And I think you got it wrong I think you meant to say that she is too good for you because I'm lucky to have her. But I do have her and you don't.
Tristan had gotten in front of Dean. And they were starring at each other. Rory was just standing on the side watching them. She decided to step in. she slipped in and stood between them.
Dean: hey playa' you better get your ass out of my town and take your hoe with you.
Rory heard that and ran out of Doose's. Tristan just glared at Dean and grabbed the groceries and ran after Rory he was calling for Rory when he seen her in the gazebo with her head in her hands. He could hear her crying. He put the bags of food on the ground. He sat down in front of her. But talking waiting for her to talk to him.
She looked up at him and smiled. Tristan smiled back.
Rory: I can't believe he said that to me. That hurt so much.
Tristan: I can believe that. Rory can I ask you a question? But you gotta promise not to get mad.
Rory: yeah I promise I won't get mad
Tristan: are you really over Dean
Rory: yeah why wouldn't I be (Looking at him confused).
Tristan; I don't know just a question.
Rory: No, Tristan tell me why you think that I wouldn't be over Dean.
Tristan: well I don't know. Because he was your first boyfriend and your first "I love you" wasn't he.
Rory: yeah but that doesn't matter about how I feel about you and I am over Dean
She leaned in and gave him the most passionate kiss that she has giving him so far. He just let her kiss him. She broke away.
Rory: I got two questions 1) know do you believe I'm over Dean 2) how come you didn't kiss me back
Tristan: yeah I can tell that your over Dean and I didn't kiss you back because I wanted your lips to tell me that your were over Dean and the only way I could do that is by not kissing those beautiful lips of your. Rory blushed at that. Tristan loved the feeling that he could make Rory blush with just a couple of words.
Tristan: but I'll kiss you know unless of course you don't want me to. And if you did that would kill me and my lips.
Rory: I'd kill you if you didn't kiss mea.
Tristan pulled her closer to him and kissed her then pulled away.
Tristan: ok come on let's go eat junk food and watch some movies.
Rory: ok
Rory got up and grabbed a couple of bags. Tristan got up right behind her and grabbed the remaining two bags. He caught up to Rory and wrapped his arm around her waist. They got to the house and walked in
