Previously on What Did I Miss?
"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.

Rory rushed down the hallway, but Tristan caught up with her quickly, being much faster, he was about to say something when he heard the sound of the Chiltonites coming down the hallway, so he pulled her into an empty class room.
Rory pushed away from Tristan's grasp in the dark classroom, glaring at him.
"Let me go, Tristan." She said, glaring at her ex-boyfriend.
"No."
"Damn it, Tristan! I'm to tired for your shit, I wanna get out of here!" Rory yelled.
Tristan ignored her plea, and advanced toward her, causing her to back up against the wall behind her. It reminded Rory of when he used to when they were going out.
He had his hands on her hips, keeping her in place against the wall...but it wasn't like she was really struggling to get away.
"I have to go to my car. Jess and Mark are waiting." She said quietly.
"Rory, did he hurt you." Tristan asked, ignoring her last statement.
'So you heard?" Rory said stating the obvious and also avoiding the his questions.
"Rory." He warned.
"No. He didn't. Not physically." She mumbled the last part, which Tristan heard.
"I won't let him-
"- You can't do anything to stop him." She cut him off.
"And why should you. You're not my Boyfriend anymore. Anyways, I'm not a 'Mary' anymore.You're probably pissed just because he was the one to take my virginity. Not you, the King Of Chilton." Rory said scathingly.
Tristan sighed, "Rory, you know that's isn't true." He pleaded, now looking very tired.
"Do I?" She said sadly at him, finally walking past him and out of the classroom.
"Fuck." Tristan sighed, leaning up against the wall.

Rory was driving home, when she stopped at the Stars Hollow and told Mark and Jess to get out of the car.
"You aren't gonna leave us to walk home agian, are you?" Jess joked.
"No. I just have to talk to you." Rory said, pocketing her keys.
"Ror...what's going on?" Mark asked cautiously, knowing this was not going to be good news.
"Well, you know Ben?" She started.
"Rory-
"The thing is." She continued, loudly, causing Jess to shut up. "I was going to my locker and he kinda told me that he would tell everyone in the school that he slept with me if I didn't..well hedidn't exactly say what I would have to do, but I'm guessing it isn't anything good." Rory said very quickly.
Josh and Mark stood there, staring at her.
"I'M GONNA FUCKIN' KILL HIM!" Mark yelled.
"And this is why I did this in a place where you can't get to him." Rory said to no one in particular. "Mark! You can't hurt him. He said he would still tell everyone. We have to think of something..." Rory trailed off, now on the verge of tears.
Seeing her tears, Jess quickly engulfed her in a hug.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." He comforted her.
"Tristan knows." She said, then felt Jess stiffen. He grabbed the keys out of her pocket.
"Jess..." She started when she saw his face.
Jess ignored her and continued to the car. "No, JESS! WAIT, HE-
He didn't listen to her, and got into the car and skidded towards the direction of Hartford.
"Shit." Rory mumbled.

Jess was pissed. He hadn't hurt that prick at his house that day, but if he said anything to anyone, which he imaged he would, he would kill him.
Jess knocked on the door to the huge DuGrey mansion and told the maid that he was a friend of Tristan's, which she believed, because she had seen him there before, and led him upstairs to Tristan's room.
Once the maid was no where in sight, Jess knocked on his door.
"Jess what are you doin-
Tristan never got to finish his sentence for Jess's fist was connecting with the side of his face.
"What the fuck was the for!" Tristan yelled, but didn't fight back, for the mere reason that Rory wouldn't want him to.
"Stay away from Rory." Jess yelled back.
"No! For the way I see it, I was the only one there in that hallway when Ben came up to her. Where the fuck were you, Mariano?"
"You Shut the fuck up. I swear to god that I won't stop bashing in your face if you tell anyone about Rory. Don't even mention her, ya know what, don't even think about her. You fucked up, you lost her forever, for what? A slut like Missy?"
Tristan was silent knowing he was right, but glared at Jess's back when he turned around to leave.
"I wouldn' t hurt her again. She may not know that, but I know you do." Tristan said to his back, causing Jess to stop only for a second, before leaving.

When Jess got back to the Gilmore-Danes house, he saw bunch of rich cars in his driveway.
Everyone was here.
When he walked into the house, everyone was in the living room. From the looks on their faces he could tell that Rory and Mark had told them the news.
Finn, Colin, Paris and Logan looked unbelievingly pissed, while the Maddy, Ashley, and Louise looked frightened for their friend.
"There's been rumors about you before, can't you just deny them like always?" Colin wondered.
"No, I mean, people must have seen me at that party. Plus, it's different when they're rumors, I would have to lie this time." Rory said.
Colin fell silent, trying to think of a way out of it, like the others.
"Let him tell them." Rory said quietly, have a minute of silence.
"Rory..." Finn warned.
"No. Let him tell them. I don't care what they think. I'm not gonna let someone control my life over something that everyone else in that fuckin' school has done!" Rory exclaimed getting up, from where she was sitting on Logan's lap.
"Rory, are you sure?" Paris asked, wanting to make sure that her best friend was thinking about what she was getting into.
"Yes." Rory said quietly.

Rory was watching TV later that night when everyone had left, when she heard a car pull up in the driveway. She jumped up immediately, and squealed so loud that caused Jess and Mark to come running down from their bedrooms.
Rory ran outside and across the lawn and straight into her Mother's arms. Her best friend.
"Mommy!"
"Rory!"
"I missed you so much!" They both yelled at the same time, not letting each other go.
"Don't ever leave that long again." Rory said, crying a little now.
"I promise. It was all Luke's fault I left in the first place." Lorelai said, detaching herself from her daughter and sticking her tounge out at Luke, who had just walked up to the Gilmore girls.
"Dad!" Rory said loudly and embraced Luke, before the wedding, Rory had grown accustom to calling Luke 'Dad' considering he practically. Which almost made 'Big Strong' Luke cry. Ohh, the mocking Mark and Jess did to him afterwards...
"Hey Ror." He said beaming at his 'Daughter'.
Lorelai had just finished hugging Mark when she looked at Jess, who was just standing there.
"Jess..." Lorelai said smirking widely.
"Ah geez." Jess said playfully rolling his eyes when Lorelai hugged him tightly.
Lorelai and Jess got along very well, considering in some ways they were very much alike, and drove Luke crazy sometimes. Lorelai also had the tendency to distract Luke, while Jess skipped out of diner duties.

After everyone, meaning Jess, Luke, and Mark, had brought in the suitcases from the car inside and settled in and gone to their rooms, Lorelai and Rory were sitting on the couch with coffee talking. Lorelai had been keeping in touch with Rory during the honeymoon, but didn't know the details of what was going on, obviously Rory had called her after the party to tell her what happened.
"Babe, are you sure you wanna do this?" Lorelai said, running her fingers through Rory's hair like she did when she was little while Rory curled up to her Mother.
"Mom, you taught me to ignore the rumors and not to care what those kids think. I don't want to live in fear or worse, because of that, because of him." Rory said crying slightly.
"I love you kiddo."
"I love you too Mom."

(A/N: I will now take time out of this story to say one thing. AWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Okay, now back to the story, haha.)
Rory went to her room after Lorelai had gone to bed with phone. She dialed a number and waited until someone picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi. It's Rory Gilmore."
"Rory. I'm glad you understood what I was telling you today." Ben said. Making Rory wish that he was standing next to her so she could slap him.
"I'm just calling to say, Fuck you! Tell everyone about the party. I don't care. It'll be better then having you lay your hands on me." Rory said bitingly.
"Why you bi-
"Oh and Ben?" She cut him off in a sickening sweet voice.
"What."
"You can expect a visit from the Guys tomorrow." With that she hung up, knowing she didn't have to say any more than that.

The next day Rory got out of her car in the Chilton parking lot.
She waited a little longer than normally to go in. Finn found her standing in front of the entrance.
"You ready, Love?" Finn said coming up from behind her and wrapping a protective arm around her waist.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She said while they walked toward the Chilton doors.
