Heard this song I recommend that you download it. It's really beautiful; it shows guys aren't afraid to show their feelings.

Disclaimer: Same as always, I don't own any of them.

AN: Get out the tissues girls. This is a sad one. This is the second to last chapter too. Count on a sequel… if you're nice. Love you guys.

When I think about leaving

I think about us

How we built this life we share on faith and trust

The honest way we talk

The tender way we touch

All those nights we spent making love

When I think about leaving

I think about us

Two weeks had passed since school had started. Paris had been more annoying than normal, but Rory and Tristan had learned to ignore her. Which only made her try harder. Rory was walking to her table at lunch when she heard someone behind her. She turned around and saw Madeline and Louise.

"Is it true?"

"What?"

"You know…"

"No I don't."

"You haven't heard?" Louise asked folding her arms over her chest.

"Come on you two out with it." Rory said getting agitated.

"Are you pregnant?"

"What! No!" Rory said before turning around and walking away.

"What did those two want?" Tristan asked when Rory sat down.

"You don't wanna know." Rory said trying to calm down.

"What has Paris done now?"

"This has her written all over it. She's stooped to a new low."
"Are you going to tell me? Or do I have to go ask Madeline and Louise?"

"They asked me if I was pregnant." Rory said just above a whisper.

"What!" Tristan shouted as he got up from the table.

"Tristan sit down." Rory said pulling at his arm.

Tristan jerked his arm away walking towards Paris. He leaned down to talk to her. The next thing that Rory saw was Paris run out of the room crying. He made his way back to the table then grabbed his bag. Rory went after him calling his name.

"What's going on?" Rory asked as she caught up with him.

"She's told my parents."

"That I'm pregnant?" Rory asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah."

"Did she tell you that?"

"She didn't have to. I know she did. I have to go home." He said slamming his locker.

Rory pulled Tristan to her and rubbed his back trying to calm him down. He pulled away with tears in his eyes.

"I should have seen this coming."

"You didn't know Paris would lie."

"Yeah I did. She's been calling my parents all week. My com couldn't even look at me this morning."

"Call me later." She said cupping his face in her hands.

Tristan held her hands in place putting his forehead to hers.

"Uh, Tristan?" Someone said from behind them.

"What?" Tristan said gruffly.

"Hey, it's Brad. He didn't do anything." Rory said putting her hands on his shoulders.

"Tristan?" Brad asked with a little more confidence.

"What Brad?" Tristan looked over his shoulder feeling sorry for the guy.

"Headmaster Charleston wants to see you. Rory too."

"And so it starts." Tristan said patting Brad on the shoulder as he passed him.

They waited outside Charleston's office for what seemed like forever. The door opened and Jonathan Dugrey stormed out. He paused to look down at Rory. He gave her a disgusted look before opening the door next to her. He slammed it making Rory jump. Tristan's arms were around her before she could react. Headmaster called their names from inside the office. They walked in hand and hand stopping when they saw their mothers and Emily.

"Sit down." Charleston said pointing to the chairs.

"You have some explaining to do young lady." Lorelai said gripping Rory's arm.

Rory looked at her with a shocked expression while the Headmaster explained that it was up to the parents to decide the real punishment. But the two of them were suspended for two weeks.

Rory sat in her room crying. She had been crying since they left school. Her mom didn't believe her. She had taken Rory's cell phone and grounded her. Her pager went off making her jump. Her mom had forgotten it. She grabbed it drying her eyes. 'Come outside.' Was all it said, she opened her window and Tristan was outside.

"My mom will kill you if she sees you." She said pushing him away.

"She doesn't believe you?"

"No." She said starting to cry again.

"I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?"

"Rome. My Aunt lives there."

"They're sending you away?"

"I'm finishing school over the Internet. They even made me apply for early admissions into Yale."

"This is so unfair." She said wrapping her arms around his waist.

The light above the door came on making them pull apart. He kissed her before walking down the stairs. Rory watched his car turn the corner before going inside. Her mom was by her window when she stepped into the room.

"Pager." She said holding out her hand.

Rory handed it to her before falling onto the bed. She turned away from her mom as she stood at the door. Lorelai shut the door wanting this to be over with.
