That night, Rory couldn't sleep. If she did fall asleep, it would be dark and she would dream of something that made her cry and feel helpless, but she could never remember why after she woke up.
"Ror?" Jess said sitting on her bed the next morning.
"Mmphmghgp?" Rory answered, her head still under her pillow.
"I just wanted to tell you that Mark and I aren't going to go to school today. We're going to stay home with you, okay?" Jess said.
"No!" Rory said bringing her head out from under her pillow, "I'm going to school and so are you!" Rory insisted, glancing at the clock and started to get up to get in the shower and get dressed.
"No, Rory, after what happened...you should stay home."
"No, Jess. I'm not going to let it bother me. I'm going to live my life. I'm fine...really." Rory insisted again leaving her room to go into the bathroom.
"Yeah, sure you are." Jess said to the now empty room.

Rory walked into Chilton, acting as like nothing had changed. That's the way she wanted it.
She dismissed the worried questions of her best friends and the over-protectiveness of the guys, and went through her day like any other normal day.
Of course, now apart of her normal day is ignoring and avoiding Tristan.
It was ninth period, the last period of the day, thankfully, and she had a free period. Right now, she was sitting outside doing a little bit of her homework.
"But Tristan!" She heard Missy whining behind her. She immediately froze at the sound, she knew that they hadn't seen her yet, and didn't know wether to get up and leave or stay there and hope to be unnoticed. She decided on the latter, it was safer.
"Missy, I already told you, we're done." Tristan said, annoyed.
'Done! He broke up with her? Why?' Rory thought.
"But-but Trissy, I thought that you loved me-
"Loved you! When did I say that? Please, you were just like all the other girls I dated. You know it and I know it. So do what the rest of them did, and get lost." He said bitingly.
"You don't mean it-
"I don't?" Tristan now sounded half-amused.
"No, we are meant for each other, I mean, why else would you leave Rory for me?" She pleaded.
Tristan was silent for a minute.
"Why would I leave Rory for someone like you." He chuckled bitterly, before walking away.
Rory was clutching her pen so tightly her knuckles were ghostly white. She stared at her paper, but all thoughts of working were lost.

Rory was on her way to the bathroom a couple minutes later, when she knew she wouldn't encounter Missy or Tristan behind her, she was sadly mistaken though.
When she entered the bathroom, she found Missy crying sitting on the floor. She jumped up the minute she saw Rory enter.
"You! You bitch, you're the reason he doesn't love me!" Missy yelled at Rory.
"Missy, Missy, we all know Tristan. He fucks and dumps. What did you expect?" Rory asked in a 'sweet' voice, and turned around and left. Leaving a shocked and gaping Missy behind her.
Rory sighed deeply when she left the bathroom and headed toward her locker, wanting to get her things ready so she could go straight to her car when the bell rang.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Queen of Chilton herself." Ben said smirking and walking toward her.
After the party they had told her who she had slept with and what they had said to him.
"Ben," She said emotionlessly.
At that time, Tristan was about ten feet away, behind the corner, he was going to go to his locker to get his things and leave early, but stopped when he heard Ben and Rory's voices.
"Now is that all I get after last night?" Ben asked smugly.
"I thought you said you were going to leave me alone." Rory said slamming her locker door shut and facing him.
"No, I said I wouldn't tell anyone what happened. I never said anything about leaving you alone."
"Well then, I'm saying it now. Leave. Me. Alone!"
"No." He answered shortly.
"No?"
"No. Cause, the way I see it, is that I have something you don't want anyone to know about. What's to stop me from not telling anyone?"
"Pain. Severe pain that would be brought on by Logan, Jess, Colin, Finn, and Mark."
"Ah, they would hurt me yes, but wounds heal, rumors, well, they can last forever, can't they?" He asked coming closer and closer to her.
"Stay away from me!"
"I think that you should stop yelling at me. Or I could go and tell someone that I fucked the Virginal Queen of the School, our 'Mary'." He said smugly.
Unbeknowest to them, Tristan was about to kill Ben. 'He had slept with his Mary.'
"Don't-
"Don't what? I can do whatever I want."
"Let me ask you something, would your precious Tristan want you now that your damaged goods?"
Just as he finished that sentence, the bell went off, signaling the end of school.
"I'll be seeing you." He promised, walking away.
Leaving Rory to choke back sobs, staring after him.
She looked to the other side of the hallway and saw something that made her heat jump.
Tristan. He had heard them. She could tell by his face.
She grabbed her bag that was on the floor and ran down the hallway.
"Rory!" Tristan yelled after her.

A/N: Tristan knows. Tristan knows! I left you hanging and I'm a evil person! Haha. Omg so the funniest thing happened to me today. I was working at the Bookstore today and I was shelving books when I came a across a book called 'Mary Magdalene' By Bruce Chilton. Get it? I all but started cracking up. Hehe.
Sea4Shoes - I'm glad that you got help for it, my friend has tried to kill herself three times by doing that, I was originally going to have Rory go through with it in the last chapter, but I couldn't.
Arillia-K - I will get them together by the end of the story, but I can't really help you with the world being difficult thing. Sorry. Haha. Glad you love the story!
KeitaWolf - Yes, she was a virgin when she slept with Ben. Grr, Evil Ben.
Soph - They cheated and went behind the back of his girlfriend and her best friend, who would want to go on their side? Haha
Whyshouldicare1 - Yes! I was hoping for it to be like Tristan on the show, thank you! Next chapter there will be more Logan and the other guys loyalness to Rory.
JustPeachy123 - It doesn't matter that he didn't rape her, it is over-protective brotherness. My brother beat up his best friend, because I started dating him. Just because I started dating him. It's just the way they think. Haha Trust me, I have experience with that. Haha. And the chapters are flowing now, its fun to write at this new angle of darknessness. BTW that is a word now. Lol.
Mrs. Williamthebloody - hehe. Hope you liked how Tristan found out!
OH MY GOD! The scariest thing just happened to me. The file I'm writing this on just closed, and I hadn't saved. But thank god, I could retrieve it. I yelled out loud when it disappeared though. That would have sucked to rewrite. Haha
Oh, by the way, does anyone like the name of this chapter? Hehe.
