Title: What You Have To Do

Author: Gilmoregirl7878

A/N: Hehe. Okay, so I'm currently drunk while I'm writing this so I have no responsibility over what I might say. Please just ignore those parts. It's after a party and I'm very bored and not tired at all.

Rory fidgeted nervously in the car. It was completely silent, minus the music playing.

No one was talking, Tristan looked nervous while everyone else looked angry. She didn't want this to happen, Not to Tristan, at least, some part of her did. Another part of her wanted them to beat him to a bloody pulp.

She loved Tristan, there was no doubt in her mind. But he obviously didn't love her. He had kissed that..that slut! Why though? Why did he do it? That was the real question.

As much as she wanted to believe it, he wasn't some jackass playboy. She knew that much. He had to have had a reason, at least, she hoped.

The car finally stopped. Everyone got out, while she stayed in her seat.

"Love, common, you need to get out of the car." Finn pleaded.

Rory begrudgingly got out, knowing he was right.

They were in somewhere between Stars Hollow and Chilton. It was a side road that not many people went down. It was completely deserted.

Logan, Finn, Colin, and Mark all glared at Tristan, who glared right back.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Colin asked Tristan.

"Nothing, what the fuck is wrong with you guys, doing whatever your Princess tells you to? Well, guess what, she's no Princess." Tristan said bitterly, looking over at Rory.

"Don't fuckin' talk to her like that!" Logan said advancing him.

"Wow, this is fair, four against one. Real nice guys." Tristan sneered.

"Why did you do that to Rory." Finn asked more seriously.

"Because, it's not like we're anything anymore." Tristan said bitingly.

"What?" They all asked confused, minus Mark.

"Just because there was a misunderstanding, doesn't mean you can go and make out with Missy!" Mark yelled at him.

"Like hell it doesn't. She made it pretty clear, didn't you, Rory?" Tristan asked her, over the guys' shoulders.

"No! We had a fight, doesn't give you permission do something like that! I guess Jess was right." Rory admitted sadly.

"Jess is an asshole!"

Immediately after, Mark's fist connected with Tristan's face again.

"Don't talk about him like that." He growled.

Tristan laughed bitterly from the ground.

"Ya know Rory, I think I fuckin' loved you. Everyone immediately points their fingers at me for the blame. Tell me, do they know what happened? Did you tell them?"

"We don't have to! All we need to know is you were the one-

"Logan, stop. Let's go. Common." Rory said her eyes brimming with tears.

They all immediately softened at the tears in her eyes, and all glared and shook their heads in disgust at Tristan before heading toward the car.

Rory quietly approached Tristan, who was still sitting on the ground.

"You say that you might of loved me, but how could you have loved me when you did something like this? I love you Tristan. As much as I don't want to, as much as I want to deny it forever, put it in a bottle and lock it away forever..I do. Trust was never an issue, I trust you. But If you knew me, you would know that I always get doubts and I get confused. But you don't know me, do you? You never tried to get a hold of me after that incident in the Library. Did you?"

Tristan didn't say anything, he just looked at the ground.

"See, You haven't changed. You're still the self-pity jerk that you were before you left. You were too busy sulking you didn't even think to trust me. To call me, and talk about in like a grown man. I admit, part of it is my fault, I should have said something more, maybe tried to call you. But I didn't. But I wasn't the one who kissed someone else. Was I?" She finished quietly before walking away toward the car.

Leaving Tristan to stare after her.

'She loved me'

The rest of the week was spent in silence between Tristan and Rory. The guys naturally stayed at Rory's side. Making sure was okay, even they knew she wasn't.

Jess was silent. He and Rory had made up after the Tristan incident. They talked about books, poetry, and music. Not talking about what had happened over the last two weeks.

"Ror." Jess said quietly entering her room, where she was crying softly on her bed. She had been very careful not to cry or show any sadness in front of any of the guys.

"Oh, Jess, um, I was doing, homework...what's up?"

"Don't lie to me, I hate when you lie to me."

"I'm fine."

"So you were crying because you were happy over history? Tell me the truth Rory!" Jess said sarcastically.

"What, what do you want to know? That I miss him? That I hate him so much, but I love him just as much!" Rory asked frustrated with her feelings.

"I want you to be okay!"

"I don't think I ever will be! I feel empty Jess, and I've never felt empty before." Rory said quietly, scared.

Jess hugged her, letting her cry on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Rory."

"For what? You didn't do anything." She smiled.

"No, I did." Jess said pulling away and ran a hand through his hand, nervous and guilty.

"No, you didn't." Rory persisted.

"God Rory, I made you doubt him. I did, I'm the reason you got drunk and I'm the reason you said you didn't trust him. Stop it okay, we both know it." Jess said frustrated.

"Your wrong." Rory insisted weakly.

Jess shook his head at Rory, leaving.

He knew what he had to do..no matter how much he didn't want to do it.
