A/N: thanks for all the reviews!

ozma914: you're right, they would get a lot more reviews if they'd appear in their underwear. I actually wanted to make it look as really as possible, and I just though, that if they were such good friends, they would wax together? And they would mind seeing each other in their under wear. Well whatever.

gilmoregirlkk: he does deserve a cheer, I'm sorry but I'm not sure this chapter will really cheer you up, I'm going for angsty, just a bit. I hope it'll work out.

I must

Enjoy!

Chapter 5: "Good Times Gone"

"Where the good time gone?

Where the good times gone?

All the stupid fun
And all that shit we've done
Where the good times gone?
Well I still don't know"

Nickelback- Good Times Gone.

"hey Luke" Rory said as she sat on the counter seat at Luke's

"Hey Rory" he answered, "where's you mom?"

"she and the toaster are in a fight" Rory said casualy

"oh that explains everything" cam Luke's sarcastic reply

"what? It's true!" Rory exclaimed

And just then Lorelai barged into the diner and sat angrily on the seat next to her daughter.

"Lorelai" Luke greated

"Luke, do you have a toaster?" she asked.

"Obviously"

"then I know you will understand" Lorelai said, "unlike my daughter here" she continued- gesturing at Rory.

"well it's an old toaster" she said "I don't undersatnd why you thought holdong the handle down for about half an hour was good for it!"

"it didn't want to cook my pop-tart!" Lorelai pouted.

"I'm leaving now" Luke said

"no! you're my only supporter! You have a toaster too!" sha called after him

Luke ignored he, munmbling something that sounded like "crazy woman" under his breath.

"mom I'm really lat I think I'll just have coffee and leave" Rory said, trying to finish her coffee in one gulp.

"take a donut to go, you can't leave without eating" Lorelai said, switching to 'worried mom' mode.

"OK" Rory said, grabbed a chocolate covered donut, and dashed out of the diner, tripping on a chair on the way out, clinging to the door, thus saving herself from an evil fall, and started running again without even looking back.

"you both belong in a Mental Hospital" Luke said, refilling Lorelai's cup.

"Chilton is secretly a Mental Hospital, Max told me, after all the kind leave, they put white lab coats on and walk around with clipboards. They look at all the security tapes, if they see anything suspicious they shove a needle up said suspicious person's ass" Lorelai rambled.

"Lovely" Luke said.

"I love sending my kid there" Lorelai said, and downed the rest of her coffee.

"Well, well ,well, if it isn't my new girlfriend!" came a voice from behind her.

"I'm not your girlfriend" Rory answered slamming her locker shut.

"of course you aren't" he said, kissed her on the cheek, and went over to his friends.

"good work Rory, I didn't know crying all day turns a guys like Tristan on" she heard Louise say from behind her.

"you are so lucky, when did you-"

"he isn't my boy friend" Rory said, cutting Madeline off.

"slut" Paris said quietly.

"I'm not going out with him! He keeps coming on to me!" Rory exclaimed, she knew Paris was crazy, but she was hurt by her comment.

The day past slowly, Rory tried to pay attention in classes, but the events a couple of night prior kept haunting her.

She was happy when lunch came, she could relax with some good music and a book.

But she found out she was mistaken.

"Rory some over here" she heard Tristan yell over from his table.

She ignored him

"Rory?" he asked

Still, she ignored him.

She heard footsteps, and pair of strong hands picked her up from the waist. His breath was warm on her neck, but alarming, "I'll tell everything you did that night, every single detail, get over to my table" he whisperd in her ear.

"no" she breathed

"come spend some time with your boy friend" Tristan said, speaking louder now, "don't be shy, it'll be fun" he gave her a little push and picked up her tray

"Tristan no" she said quietly.

"Everything" he whispered.

"I hate you" she said.

He led her to their table, pushing her every so often with her tray on the small of her back.

"I can walk, you know" she glared

"it seemed like you needed a little help" he smirked.

She still glared.

He put her tray down between his and another friend of his that looked exactly like him, but probably with a less inflated ego.

He pushed her down, she sat down reluctantly.

"say hello to Rory everybody" he said, sitting down wrapping one arm around her waist.

She tried to squirm out of his grasp but her pinched her, hard, to remind her of his evil blackmail.

She started to eat, deciding she had nothing better to do.

"So how did you get together Tristan?" Louise purred.

"oh well that's a nice story…"

As soon as she got on the bus she started crying, again. This time no one sat next to her, and she was thankful.

She didn't think that she will see Jess again as soon as she stepped off the bus, but there he was, he appeared to be waiting. Was he on another walk?

"hey" she said

"he yourself"

"what are you doing here? Don't you have to do?" she said, a little annoyed, couldn't he have at least warned her?

"same as yesturday, I'll walk you" he said.

"thanks" she said quietly.

They walked in silence, she hoped she wouldn't start throwing up again. She quickened their pace, looking at the ground.

"I have a book for you" he said, handing her a black book with a title that read Over Sea, Under Stone.

"thanks!" she said, feeling a little more cheerfull. How did he know exactly what to do?

"I have to get back to the diner" he said. "I'll see you later" he turned around and entered the white door.

She looked at it, and started laughing, that fall in the morning must have been really funny. She wished she had it on tape.

The next day was the same, even lunch. She hated him.

But she was surprised when she headed to the buses after her last class. She saw a blue old car, with a brown- haired guy leaning on it.

She walked toward him

"Jess?"

"I believe so"

"why are you here?'

"it seemed like you weren't doing do well with the bus these past day, and well Luke let me off early today. And I was in the neighborhood…"

She threw her arms around him, she hoped Tristan saw this.

And sure enough, before she could even be embarrassed for what she did, she heard him call her from behind her.

"Rory? What the hell are you doing?" he ran towards her. "I can give you a ride"

"oh it's ok, Jess here, offered his services" she said, smirking.

"Let's go" Jess said, eyeing Tristan.

They drove in silence, she liked being alone with him, it was comfortable, she didn't feel like she needed to talk.

"he your boys friend?" Jess asked.

"no" she said, hoping he'd ask for more information.

He didn't talk.

She looked at him.

"so why was he acting like he was?" Jess asked.

She laughed. "it's Tristan, can you beat him up for me? He's kind of bumming me"

"for you? Sure" Jess said, and stared at the road ahead when he realized what he said

"you like me that much?' Rory said.

"who said I liked you?" he asked.

She raised her eyebrows.

"we're here" he said, as soon as her house came into view.

She started getting out of the car, "Jess?"

"yeah?'

"thanks, I really needed that" she said, and ran towards her house.

A/n: so did you like it? Was I over doing it with the whole Tristan thing? I like the hostile Tristan. Tell me what you think.
