Tristan looked at his phone playing with it in his hand. He flipped it open and pressed 2. As it started ringing he thought to himself, 'Please pick up.'

"Hello?"

"Don't hang up on me. We need to talk about your decision and what's been going on the past few days. What did you was low, I need you right now and you I guess thought that you didn't have time for me or something. I didn't mean that I didn't want you there for me I the other day I meant that I didn't want to suffocate you or make you think I was clingy. You were the one who thought that I didn't want you around." He paused hoping her would say something.

"I know, okay?" She sounded like she was crying which further upset Tristan. "I know that what I did was wrong but I panicked. I know that I jumped to the conclusion that you didn't want me around. I didn't think it through I don't want to get hurt again and I was afraid that if I became too clingy you would dump me. I really don't want to lose you." An odd silence fell between the two and Tristan absentmindedly ran his hand through his hair.

After what felt like a million years Tristan took a deep breath, "Meet me."

"What?" She was surprised by his request.

"Meet me in the park in like 45 minutes."

"Why?"

"Just do it." His tone startled her as he hung up and she just looked at the phone. She looked around the room for something semi-descent to wear but she looked at the clock and realized she didn't have time. So she settled to just meet him in what she was wearing.

When she got to the park he wasn't there so she just sat down on the bench watching the kids playing. Tristan pulled up and watched her. He put the envelope that was in his hand in his back pocket as he shut the door behind him.

"Hey." He gave her the once over. She looked as bad as he did.

"Hi." Was all she replied her eyes still locked on the ground. He pulled the envelope out of his pocket and handed it to her. She looked between him and the envelope with confusion in her eyes. He just nodded and she slowly tore it open. Her eyes scan the paper and after the first two sentences she shot up with a sudden burst of excitement.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I got in?" He asked grabbing the paper out of her hand scanning it quickly as she started jumping up and down. He threw the paper to the ground and she wrapped her arms around his neck softly kissing him.

"I'm happy for you." She said her chest heaving from all the jumping around.

"Thanks."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think I would get in."

"I'm sorry for everything." She locked her eyes back on the ground not wanting to look into his eyes.

"I know you meant the best but it sucked."

"I know."

"I love you." He lifted her chin with his finger bringing her closer. She rested her head on his chest.

"I love you too. Are you excited?"

"About what?"

"Tristan!" She smacked his arm making them both laugh.

"I guess." They locked eyes for the first time in awhile and Rory felt herself shiver. "Nice choice of clothing."

"What? I didn't have time to change plus you were the one who had to call so early on a Saturday."

"No I think you look cute in them."

"How's your father?"

"He's fine now."

"Are you going to tell him about going to Yale?"

"Not now, when he's out of the hospital."

"He'll be happy."

"Yeah."

"Can you believe we graduate in 2 months?"

"No I can't, have you decided where you're going?"

"No I mean I got accepted to both."

"You're make the right decision." He grabbed her hand and laced her fingers in his.

"So we're good now, right?"

"Yeah. I missed you." He smirked at her before she realized what he meant.

"I know you missed my goddess like body."

"Yeah right if you're a goddess then Paris is an angel."

"Oh that would be scary."

"Why weren't you in school yesterday?"

"I wasn't feeling good so I stayed home."

"Are you sure you weren't just avoiding me?"

"No."

"Liar."

"Fine don't believe me." His phone started ringing in his pocket. "Hello?"

"Tristan it's Justin."

"Oh hey Uncle Justin, what's up?"

"You're father is coming home today and I want to have a big dinner to celebrate."

"Okay."

"I want you to bring your girlfriend."

"Okay."

"Hurry up home because we'll be home in like 20 minutes."

"On my way." He hung up and looked at Rory.

"We can drop my car off at my grandparent's house their out of town and won't care."

"Okay."

"Since I'm doing this for you will you do something for me?"

"I have to go see Paris later on after she and Jamie tell her parents so will you come with me?"

"I guess if I have to." He sounded annoyed which earned a smack across the chest from Rory.
