Here's the next chapter. Hope you like it. And don't worry nothing happens to Rory.
"I'll be right there!" Tristan said as soon as she broke down crying.
"Hurry!" She yelled into the phone.
She shut the phone and dropped it on the bed. She lifted her legs up to her chest and cried. She remembered the last time Dylan got out.
Rory was sitting in her house, with the girls surrounding her.
Louise was on the phone with Logan trying to convince him and the guys to come over.
"Come on please!" She begged.
"Fine well be there in twenty minutes." He sighed, defeated.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed and shut her phone.
Five minutes later they were talking about clothes when a sharp pounding was heard at the front door.
They all went down to investigate. Rory opened the door without asking
who it was.
She came face to face with Dylan.
"Get out!" She yelled.
"Not until I see my daughter!" He shouted.
"She is not your daughter!" She screamed.
He slapped her and pushed her out of the way. She landed on the floor, as he marched upstairs and looked through each of the rooms.
The girls ran upstairs to try to stop him. They new they couldn't fight him, but no one can ever say they didn't try. When they found him, they caught him off guard cause he was so intent on finding the baby. They quickly tackled him then tried kicking and hitting him. They were able to slow him down for awhile, but were unable to stop him.
He continued to open doors and that's when the guys came running up the stairs. Rory was punching him at the time and he got his best punch in on her face. She dropped to the ground before the guys took over the
fight.
The girls ran to the closest phone and called 911.
The police showed up shortly after, and all of the guys were pretty beaten up. Dylan, however, was by far the worst.
He was arrested for trespassing, assault, and rape.
Although her bruises were healed, emotionally, Rory was still damaged.
Tristan was standing in the doorway and shook Rory from her reverie. She was still balled up and crying but she felt better knowing that Tristan was here. It broke his heart to see her this way. Rory looked up at him, noting the frown on his face and the worry in his eyes. Rory wiped her tears as she got up and took Tristan's hand. She sat him down on the bed and picked up Amber.
She walked back over to the bed, holding Amber tight against her chest. She sat down with her back turned to Tristan. Tristan wrapped his arms around her waist and she leaned into his touch. She held onto Amber for dear life.
"You alright?" He asked after a while.
"I'm fine now that you're here." She smiled slightly.
"Everything will be ok." He told her soothingly.
"I hope so." She whispered, placing her hand on her face, where Dylan had hit her.
"Everything will be fine." Logan told her noticing her hand on her face. He walked up to her and took her hand. "It healed Rory, and so will you."
"Thanks." She told him looking him in the eye.
"Love. you need to do something." Finn suggested.
"We should do something." Louise agreed.
"What about a game of poker?" Colin suggested pulling out a deck of cards.
"You're going down!" Rory laughed.
Tristan smiled when he saw Rory's face light up. The bad news she received earlier, temporarily forgotten.
The friends quickly formed a circle on the floor. Colin was going to deal.
"Who's in?" Colin asked as he began to shuffle the cards.
"I will!" Louise volunteered.
"Me too!" Madeline said as she raised her hand.
"Count me out!" Paris told them.
"You're just bitter because you lost last time." Logan pointed out.
"Maybe I am." She retorted.
Colin dealt out all the cars, and the game started.
The game seemed to go on forever. In the end, Rory and Colin were battling it out for the win.
"I win!" Rory exclaimed, raising her hands over her head.
"Whatever!" Colin said, throwing down his cards in disgust.
"I'm tired!" Louise announced.
"Sleep it is." Lorelei concluded. She had come into the room about an hour after the game started.
The girls took the king sized bed. Lorelei slept in the lounge chair and the
guys took the floor.
Rory sat up in bed frustrated after tossing and turning for the last couple of hours. She looked over at Amber to see that she was sleeping peacefully. She then looked over to where the boys were sleeping, and
made her way to Tristan.
Once she reached him, she shook him gently to wake him up.
"What?" He asked his voice laced with sleep. He didn't even bother opening his eyes.
"Can I sleep down here with you?" She whispered. Even in the dark, he could tell she was blushing.
He opened his eyes to look at her and nodded.
She crawled under the comforter and put her head on the pillow.
Tristan wrapped an arm around her before going back to sleep. Rory closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, everyone was awakened by a sharp knocking on the door. The girls were first to hear it and shot up immediately. 'It's just like last time.' Each of the girls were thinking the at the same time. The others soon woke up as the knocking continued. They all glanced at each other wondering what to do.
"Guys can you open the door?" Louise requested, looking very panicked.
They did as told and came face to face with a police officer.
"Dylan was arrested again. We're sending him to a facility in Utah." The officer informed them.
Logan thanked the officer and closed the door. They ran upstairs to tell the girls the news.
"Dylan's been arrested again!" The girls hugged each other tighter and cried.
"I never want to feel like that again!" Madeline cried.
"None of us want to!" Paris choked out.
All four girls remember that day better then any one else. It wasn't something you could forget easily.
"I promise you that you won't have to feel that way again. You're never going to have to see him!" Rory swore. "And I know we are all scared right now, but remember what we do whenever we have these moments?" She said, looking around.
"We remember!" They said together. Tristan watched the group, observing the bond they shared.
"Well, let's get going." Rory said as she grabbed their hands and began walking out the door.
Tristan tried to follow them but Finn stopped him.
"They do this alone." He informed the newcomer.
"What do they do?" Tristan asked, as he watched the girls leave.
"We have no idea." Colin sighed, shaking his head.
"Well what are we going to do while they do whatever it is they're doing?" Tristan asked, looking at the other boys.
"Go shopping?" Logan suggested, as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Shopping?" Tristan asked skeptically.
"Not for us! For the girls!" Logan specified, rolling his eyes.
"Oh!" Tristan said, putting the pieces together.
"Lets go!" Finn shouted. "I need a beer!" He whined.
"You always do." Logan said, smiling in amusement.
As they began to walk out the door, Logan came to an abrupt halt. He went back inside to get Lorelei and Amber.
"Come on! We're taking you shopping!" He informed Lorelei.
" Yippee!" She exclaimed, jumping up from the bed.
Since they had Lorelei and the baby, they took the Escalade. Colin and Finn sat in the back row. Lorelei sat on the middle bench with Amber, since that's where the carseat was, and Tristan sat in front while Logan drove.
"Logan! We can't shop in Hartford! We may run into the girls. We want to surprise them. Besides, you know how they need this 'alone' time." Colin suggested.
"New York it is!" Logan concluded.
"Let's get going!" Lorelei cheered.
Tristan just sat back and watched in amusement. He was amazed by the interaction Lorelei had with all the teens. Unlike most Hartford parents, she seemed to be really genuine and easy to talk to.
Meanwhile, the girls were on their way to Boston. They made their way to the big local park they frequented.
"Come on girls. They should be here." Rory beckoned.
The four girls walked through the park looking for Nick and Justin.
"Guys!" Louise yelled when she spotted them.
At the sound of their voices, the two boys turned toward the girls and smiled brightly.
"What brings you up here?" Nick asked.
"Dylan got out again." Rory said quietly.
"He did?" Justin asked, the anger evident in his voice
"It's fine. He got arrested again and now is in Utah." Paris reported.
"So are you guys here to do what we did when we first met? Nick asked.
"Yep!" Madeline nodded.
"Ok! Let's get started then!" Justin said.
"One second! We want to get changed." Rory requested.
"Go ahead." Justin said, as he pointed to the bathrooms.
The girls headed to the bathrooms and got changed into shorts and tank tops. When they were done, they stepped back out into the park and headed towards their friends.
Back in New York the guys were at Bloomingdales trying to find gifts.
"I think Louise said something about a new necklace from this place." Logan said while looking through the glass case.
"Yah, it was that one." Lorelei pointed to a white gold necklace with a butterfly pendant.
Logan got the attention of one of the salespeople, bought the necklace and had it gift wrapped.
"What would Paris want?" Lorelei asked Colin.
"I think I'm going to get her some perfume." Colin said while moving around the bottles on the counter.
"Chanel No. 5, is always a good choice." Lorelei pointed out picking up the bottle.
"I'll get it." Colin said and picked up the bottle and handed it to the cashier.
"And what would your lovely young lady want, Finn?" Lorelei laughed.
"I'm getting her a new dress! I already know which one." He said as he walked over to a rack and pulled out a bright red baby doll dress with a flourish.
"She'll love it!" Lorelei announced, after looking it over.
"I know." Finn said smiling.
"Well Tristan, it's your turn to pick a gift for Rory." Lorelei said while looking over some stilettos. She picked up a pair, checked the size and handed them off to Logan.
Logan took the shoes paid for them and returned them to Lorelei.
"Thank you, Logan!" she said smiling.
"You're welcome!" He said, returning her smile.
They continued to walk around the department store, picking out some things for amber, while Tristan still looked around for something to get Rory. Once they'd been through the whole store, Finn took pity on him.
"Tristan you have so much to learn!" Finn said patting him on he back.
"What?" He asked confused.
"You will never find a real gift for Rory here." Finn said simply.
The boys all nodded in agreement while Lorelei watched on with an amused smile on her face. They quickly walked out of the store, leaving Tristan to follow them.
They walked to an old record store, Rory's favorite in New York.
"Pick up any record! She'll love it!" Logan instructed pointing around.
Tristan looked a bit skeptical at first, thinking the boys were trying to mess with him. But as he looked at Lorelei, she gave a slight nod, letting him know to trust them. He relaxed a bit, then looked around before picking out an album from Korn. After he paid, they walked back to the car.
"Where to now?" Tristan asked.
"Coffee in Boston." Colin said, as if it were obvious.
"Let's go then!" Lorelei said. "I think I'm having coffee withdrawal!" she sighed dramatically.
Back at the park, the girls were running laps and doing drills.
"Come on girls!" Nick yelled. "Hurry up!"
The girls ran faster and then caught up to the guys.
"Ok! Enough drills! Let's get down to what we came for!" Rory said, pumped up from all the adrenaline.
"Fine with us." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he began to throw punches.
Rory blocked, Louise kicked. Nick was taking on Paris and Madeline.
As they duked it out, it seemed like forever. The guys were impressed, as they weren't able to get in as many punches as the girls did. After about a half an hour later they sat down in the grass.
"So how are you feeling?" Nick asked.
"I feel great!" Rory yelled.
Unknown to them their significant others were parking across the street. When they saw the girls and two familiar guys. Logan, Colin and Finn took off running towards them, leaving Tristan behind with Lorelei and Amber. Both Lorelei and Tristan were confused and after a second took off after the boys.
"What the hell are you doing with them!" Logan yelled throwing a punch at one of the boys. His friend tried separating them when Finn and Colin soon joined the fray.
The girls quickly jumped into the fight, trying to protect their friends. They soon began kicking and punching at the three 'intruders'.
"What the hell!" Logan yelled when he and his friends were down on the ground, they were propped up on their elbows looking at their fuming girlfriends.
Nick and Justin were sitting on the bench being tended to by Madeline and Paris.
"What the hell was that?" Louise shouted in frustration
"What are you doing hanging out with them?" Finn yelled pointing at the two raven haired guys.
"It's none of your business!" Rory argued.
"Like hell it is!" Colin challenged.
"Well if you must know..." Louise said snottily, "This is what we did every Wednesday we were in Boston…after Dylan visited the first time." She finished glaring at her boyfriend.
"Oh that explains it!" Logan said sarcastically.
"Every single week we would come to the park and train with Nick and Justin." Rory said.
"Still doesn't explain it!" Finn said.
"We wanted to learn martial arts for self defense! So we learned from the two guys who knew exactly how Dylan fights!" Louise finished.
"That would be why you chose them, since they are Dylan's friends." Colin thinking logically, but still upset with his girlfriend and friends for keeping the truth from them.
"Were!" Nick yelled.
"So can you let this go!" Rory said, actually more like demanded.
The guys nodded ashamed. They still were a little upset, egos bruised, but they understood.
"All we needed was to do this one thing without you guys knowing, and you just couldn't handle it." Rory cried and went over to her mom and Tristan who had been standing off to the side. Rory cried into Tristan's chest and then was joined by the rest of the girls.
The guys still sat on the ground, and Nick and Justin were still on the bench.
Rory let go of Tristan and then walked back over to Nick and Justin. The girls followed.
"I'm so sorry!" she told them.
"It's ok, Rory!" Nick said.
"Thanks for everything!" she said sincerely, taking their hands.
"You're welcome." They said.
Rory let go of their hands, kissed them both on their cheeks and waved goodbye.
Louise, Madeline and Paris kissed their cheeks and followed Rory back to the car. Lorelei followed them leaving the guys in the dust.
Lorelei drove while Rory held Amber in the back, since the boys had the carseat. She sat in between Paris and Louise, while Madeline sat up front.
They drove back to Stars Hollow in silence.
The guys came to their senses shortly after the girls had left. They slowly made their way back to the Escalade, where Tristan sat waiting in the driver's seat. Once they all got in, he made his way back to Stars Hollow.
There's the next chapter, it was totally different from what I planned but personally I like it.
