Chapter9- Gone-

" Hi"

" What do you want?"

" To say how sorry I am."

" Well it's to late now Rory. You shouldn't have done that."

" Dean I didn't kiss him. He kissed me. Then I pushed him away. You saw that. I would never do anything to hurt you."

" Yeah well you did"

" I'm sorry. I'm so sorry"

" Well listen…I think we should take a break. Not break up, but I need time to think."

" Okay" she said crying

" Well I'll see you around"

" Dean…how did everything go?" asked Gia the next day

" I told her we needed a break. I need time to think"

" Oh...Okay"

" Hey listen I have bad news…" she said

" What's wrong?"

" Um Tristan is coming back from wherever he was tonight… and my Dad wants me to go get him…The problem is well I don't have a car…"

" So…?"

" So I was wondering if you would drive me to the airport… I know Tristan isn't your favorite…but he is my other half…"

" I don't know Gia…"

" Please pretty please you're the only one I'm friends with here…plus my dad doesn't trust me in his car…he wanted me to take a bus…You wouldn't let me take a bus right?"

" Fine…Fine but you owe me BIG time"

" Yeah..." she said as she clapped her hands together

"Hey Rory!"

" What do you want Jess?"

" I was wondering if you wanted to go on a little road trip with me?"

" Where?"

" To New York City."

" Why?"

" I have some things to take care of…"

" Um…sure why not. I have nothing else better to do…No thanks to you!"

" Aw…did Deanie boy say adios?"

" No…he just wants to take a break."

"Aw…Okay let's go!"

"Now but I have to call my Mom first."

" No…no time do it when you get there!"

"Not Much! Where's Dad?"

" He couldn't make it."

" Then how did you get here?"

" A friend drove me."

"Oh really…where is she?"

"He is over there. Hey Dean come here."

" Wait did you say Dean… You don't mean Forrester do you?"

" Yup…Hi Tristan…" said Dean

" Oh Gia! Come On!

"RORY…RORY! Luke have you seen Rory anywhere?"

"No she left with Jess hours ago!"

" Wait what! Jess?"

"Yeah…she didn't tell you!"

" No obviously not…or I wouldn't be looking for her. Do you know where they went?"

"Yes…they went to New York City."

" Oh No!"

" Hey Guys…What's wrong?"

" Hi Dean…" said Luke

" Rory…she's gone!"

" Gone?"
