Here's the next chapter.
Tristan and Christy arrived at her mid-class apartment in downtown Hartford.
They pulled into a couple of spots along the main street and Tristan and Christy got out of their cars.
They walked up the stairs to apartment 2C and Christy pulled out her keys. She stuck them in the lock and pushed open the door. The two walked into the apartment.
"Kevin!" Christy called when they got into the living room.
"In here hun!" Kevin called from the kitchen.
The two walked into the kitchen after dropping their boxes. Kevin and Christy kissed briefly and then Kevin looked up at Tristan.
"Hey man! It's been too long, TJ!" Kevin said, hitting his knuckles with his cousin-in-law.
"It has!" Tristan said, pulling in Kevin for own of those 'man-hugs"
"Well our espacially late dinner is almost done, so get settled, and then we'll eat" Kevin said, pushing Tristan out of the kitchen.
"You just want to kiss your wife!" He yelled back, chuckling as he left the ktichen.
"So maybe I do!" The man shouted, before pinning Christy against the counter.
Tristan walked into the living room, picked up his boxes and put them on the coffee table.
He placed his bathroom toiletries in the bathroom, placed some of his music and books on the table and he left his clothes in the box. He went through some of the clothes until he found what he was looking for. He pulled out his Harvard sweatshirt that he had bought last summer.
He walked into the kitchen with his hands covering his eyes.
"Is it safe to look now?" He asked, jokingly.
"Yah" Christy said while setting the table.
Tristan lowered his hands and smiled. He sat down in one of the hard wooden seats surrounding the table.
"So what's for dinner Mom?" Tristan asked, acting like a seven-year-old
"One, I am only twenty. Two, I am only two years older then you. Three, ask Kevin he's the one cooking." Christy replied.
"So Kev what's for dinner?" Tristan asked looking at the brunette.
"Spaghetti, meatballs, garlic bread and salad." Kevin reported smiling.
Tristan's phone rang and he looked at the caller id. He opened it and then shut it.
Kevin raised an eyebrow.
Tristan's phone rang again and he opened it up, shut it and then turned it off.
"What's with that?" Kevin asked, waving his hand at the silent phone on the table.
"It's my ex-girlfriend" Tristan said shortly.
"Oh, Rory?" He asked.
"Yep" Tristan replied.
"So what's with that anyways, I mean Christy told me some of it but I still don't get it" Kevin said.
"Well, see Rory and I begin dating at the beginning of the school year. We dated for two months until I found out she had a child, Amber. We broke up for a week, got back together, I got kicked out from the house and I moved in with Rory and her friends and mom. Then Christy came to visit they assume I'm cheating on her, and now I am here." Tristan explained.
"Now that makes so much more sense!" Kevin said sarcastically.
"Doesn't it though?" Tristan laughed playing along.
The house phone rang and Christy got up to answer it. She picked it up, frowned and passed it to Tristan.
"For you" She said briefly.
"Man, I'm popular today" He said before putting the phone to his ear.
"Hello?" He asked, wondering who wanted to talk to him.
"Tristan darling, I heard you dumped that gold digging mother." Tristan's mother's voice rang out, in a high pitched voice.
"Yah so." Tristan replied coldly.
"Well you can come home now" His mother said.
"No way, you called my girlfriend a gold digging mother and you expect me to come home without a fuss?" He hissed.
"Yes why of course, that's what that woman was." Mrs. Dugrey said, not catching on to the venom in her son's voice.
"What she is, is the woman I love." He corrected her.
"You can't possible love that woman" His mother said in disbelief.
"I do, and for your information she's not just 'that woman' she's Lorelei Leigh Rory Gilmore-Hayden III" And with that Tristan hung up his phone.
"You're dating a Hayden?" Christy asked.
"I was" Tristan said.
Meanwhile back at the Gilmore residence.
Rory was bawling her eyes out; Louise, Paris, and Madeline were comforting her.
The guys were in the kitchen thinking.
"What would you do if you were in his position?" Colin asked Logan.
"I'd do the exact same thing, it's not like I can blame him for being mad." Logan answered.
"I'd be bloody mad mate if Mads thought I was cheating on her" Finn said standing up.
"Would you forgive her?" Logan asked.
"I love her, so of course I would." Finn said.
"So Tristan will forgive Rory right?" Colin asked.
"If he loves her" Logan replied.
"And he does mate, he sure does" Finn said taking a sip of his beer.
Back in the living room Rory picked up her phone. She dried her eyes, calmed her breath and slowly started to press numbers.
She dialed the memorized number and it rang and rang.
It picked up and she drew an intake of breath and then she heard the dial tone.
"He hung up on me" she said.
"Can you blame him?" Louise said.
"Not really" She said, smiling a bit.
She tried again and got the same treatment.
"Why don't you try again in the morning?" Paris suggested, looking at her friend.
"Yah, he might be up to actually talking to you tomorrow" Madeline said smiling, even though her eyes were drowned in sympathy.
"Maybe" Rory said. In her stomach she had a feeling she was lying.
