Well hope you like this chapter.
Tristan stood there thinking for a while and then realized where he was. So he hopped into his Jag and drove off towards the house he had driven by so many times, but had never been inside.
He knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Rory did with Amber on her hip.
She swung open the door and saw Tristan standing there and yelled "Girls!"
"Yes!" They called.
"Madeline come here!" She yelled, and then quickly followed with "Paris and Louise, go collect twenty bucks each from the guys. I won the bet!"
"Ok!" Paris and Louise yelled.
Madeline showed up and took Amber quickly after seeing who was on the other side of the door. Rory stepped out and shut the door.
"So betting on me?" He asked shyly.
"What do you want?" She questioned, impatiently tapping her foot.
"To know the 'whole story'." He responded quietly, shocked at Rory's tone.
Rory looked up at the house and saw all of her friends standing by an open upstairs window.
"Why in the world do you think you deserve to know the truth? What gives you that right, after what you said about me and Amber?" She questioned, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Because I think you owe me at least that." He retorted, keeping his voice low.
"Well maybe I do owe you, and I guess I will tell you mostly because
I want to end your little thoughts that state 'I threw away my life.'" She said, mostly to herself then to him.
"Fine with me." He told her.
"Well it all started at a party when I was fifteen. End of freshman year, summer. I showed up at a party, my friends had convinced me to go to but they forgot to explain the basic rules." Tristan interrupted at this point.
"Don't take opened drinks, don't go upstairs." He listed.
"Yes those exactly but don't interrupt me. Well, as I was saying, I took an opened drink, I was drugged, then raped and then I got pregnant. I had Amber; Dylan came back and got arrested.†She listed off easily, trying to sound unaffected.
"So that's the story?" He asked when she finished.
"The summarized version, but that's not all I'm going to say to you." She quipped.
"What else is there?" He asked, cautiously.
She sighed, taking a deep breath she looked up at him with flames in her eyes.
"How dare you tell me I threw my life away? It was not me who threw away my life, it was Dylan! Not that I threw away my life at all! Amber may not have been planned, but she's the best thing in my life! Don't you dare criticize me on how I had sex and got a child who 'messed up my life'!" She said, using air quotes. "When you have sex, you take on that responsibly to have a child! I did not have sex willingly and you have so don't you criticize! How dare you call her a mistake! How dare you! You are saying that I was a mistake! My mother had me at sixteen! I had Amber at fifteen! Same thing! By saying that any child born of a teenage mother is a mistake and that's insulting A LOT of people! Oh and I'm pretty sure you are just a little pissed that you didn't de-Mary-fy me! I actually hate that fact!" She yelled with tears in her eyes. She stormed back into the house.
The teenagers met her when she walked into the house. "You ok?"
Finn asked.
"I'm fine. I just needed to let out all the pent up emotions."
She said as cried silently.
The doorbell rang and they all knew who it was. Louise opened the door and went back to Rory.
Finn had picked her up, one arm under her shoulders and one arm under her knees. Logan was drying her tears, and Colin was handing her a cup of water. The girls just stood around letting their boyfriends comfort her.
It had always been this way. The guys comforted her in a brotherly way and then the girls would have real girl talk and then Rory would be ready to share her feelings with the guys.
Tristan's heart clenched, seeing Rory so comfortable in some other
guys' arms. He knew they were close but not this close.
"Um, hi…" He started.
They all turned their heads to the door, all had forgotten who was there.
Finn put her down and Finn put his arm around her shoulders. Colin did the same on the other side and Logan wrapped his arms around his waist and put his head on top of hers.
The girls stood next to them glaring. If only looks could kill.
"What could you possible want?" Colin asked annoyed.
Rory looked over to him and he got the message so did the rest of them.
They stepped back and grouped behind her.
"What do you have to say?" Rory asked.
"I'm sorry." He said weakly, unable to look her in the eyes.
"For what?" She pressed on, wanting specifics.
"For saying those things to you." he answered, finally looking at her.
"Well I'm sorry too, those things hurt, but I am sorry I kept it from you. Now that I think about it, my reason for not telling you was stupid. I thought you wouldn't date me because of it but that was stupid. So I'm sorry." She responded.
"So are we good?" He asked hopefully with a smirk. Now this is the Tristan she knew and loved.
She ran over to him and jumped in his arms, and then kissed him. When they broke apart Tristan asked her something.
"Can I take that as a yes?" He asked.
"You can take that as a super yes!" She laughed.
"Well sorry to break up the love fest but we have Friday night dinner to go to!" Paris informed them like they had forgotten. They could never forget Friday night dinner.
"Oh! Sorry Tris, but I have to go!" She kissed him good bye, got down from his arms and pushed him out the door.
"Let's get ready!" She suggested to the group.
"Let's!" They responded and went upstairs.
The guys changed into suits, Colin tan, Finn gray, and Logan black. They girls all in skirts, Amber in purple overalls and they walked out to the cars, knowing that Lorelei would be driving up soon.
The guys got into the Beamer with Amber and the girls hopped into
Lorelei's jeep when she pulled up.
The short ride with Lorelei to Hartford was spent filling her in on the day's events.
"You ring it!" Lorelei argued.
"You ring it!" Rory challenged. They went on three more times and like always, Paris finally rings it.
"HEY!" They yelled at Paris right before the maid opened the door.
The maid took their coats and they walked into the living room.
"Hello, Rory, Lorelei, Logan, Louise, Madeline, Finnegan, Colin, Paris!" Emily greeted when she looked up.
'Hello Emily's were chorused. Followed shortly by a "Hi Mom" and "Hi Grandma."
The dinner went smoothly, same for dessert and then they left.
They got into their cars and headed back home when Rory got the phone call.
"Hello" she answered.
"Is this Miss Rory Gilmore?" A man on the other line asked formally.
"Yes, this is she." Rory responded not knowing what was going on.
"Well I am just informing you that Dylan has broken out of jail, it was noted that you should be called immediately." The man told her.
"Thank you!" She said and shut her phone.
"Dylan got out." She choked out.
Lorelei took control right now.
"Louise call the guys tell them to continue to head home and lock all the doors. Find a way to tell all the locals to lock their doors. They can make it there and back to Hartford in just enough time!" She ordered.
"Madeline, call Chris and the guy's parents. Paris, you call the girls' parents as well as your own." She demanded.
They picked up their phones and dialed quickly.
Lorelei turned the car around and headed back to Emily's.
They got there in record time. Lorelei got Rory and Amber upstairs into the most secluded room.
Paris called the police and got them to surround the place and keep a look out for Dylan.
The guys got back and showed their I.D.s to the cops and got into the house.
The girls rounded the house locking all windows and doors.
Rory picked up her phone while everyone was moving around her.
"Tristan?" She stumbled over the single word.
"What's wrong?" He asked worried.
"He got out Tristan! Dylan got out!" She rambled, trying to get her bearings. Once she realized what she just said, she began to cry.
There's the chapter. Emotional right? Well review.
