Our brokenhearted Tristan
Tristan just sat there for about five minutes reflecting on the events of the night. 'Did I just kiss Rory?' 'Did she kiss me back?' 'Is this all a dream!' At this thought Tristan panicked and pinched himself. It hurts A LOT! As he swore under his breath rubbing the swelling spot on his arm, one thought crossed his mind. 'She and Bag Boy split up, the she kissed me!'
2 WEEK LATER
Rory and Tristan had gotten past the awkward stage and progressed to friends. Rory had talked Tristan into forgetting the kiss, stating that they would get along better if they forgot about the whole thing. Rory said the kiss meant nothing they were just two confused people it meant nothing. Of course, to Tristan the kiss was monumental, but Tristan would do anything to spend time with Rory, to keep on her good side. Tristan was falling for Rory more every day, so he was surprised when Rory asked him to on a date with Paris Geller. Sure the date went o.k. but it was during that date that Tristan realized something. Tristan Du Gray was in love with Rory Gilmore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So I was thinking maybe we could do it again." Paris finished.
"Yeah, but we would go as friend's right?" Tristan asked when she looked confused he decided to clarify for her. "Because I thought there was more friends' material there. I mean when Rory asked me to go out with you I was a little scept-" Paris' face went from 'confused and hurt' to 'angry as hell' in about two seconds flat. She stormed of the room to confront Rory. Tristan was confused, what did he do?
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR RORY!" Paris screamed loudly. "ARE YOU MY MATCHMAKER NOW! HMMMMMMM PARIS IS SINGLE AND LONELY SO LETS SET HER UP!" Paris' voice was now getting shaky and the last part came out in sob "Well mind your own damn business." She whispered loudly before storming past the door tears falling down her face. Then to Tristan's surprise Rory walked in. Her usual calm caring face filled with a deep emotion.
"Tristan," She whined, "Why did you tell her I set you up?" she cocked an eyebrow at this.
"Sorry," Tristan apologized "I didn't know I wasn't supposed to tell her." Rory just glared at him. "And what if I like some one else?" He spit out looking her dead in the eye, willing her to know.
"I'm so sorry, are you still not over Summer?" she asked dumbly.
"Not Summer!" Tristan practically yelled
"Then who is it?" Rory asked. Tristan looked her in the eyes and figured some thing out. If Rory rejected him, he would not be able to live.
"Think about it." Tristan said his voice breaking as he jumped off the table and walked towards the door.
Rory the not so blind
Rory stood there and it was at that moment, as Tristan walked out of the door, she noticed something. She wanted to run after him, tell him she wasn't blind, that she liked him too. Yet there was something rooting her to the spot, Dean. Dean had said, "I love you." to her. She knew that she would not be able to follow her feelings for Tristan 'till she made up with Dean. Tristan came first though. 'Tristan first' she thought as she ran after him.
Prince Tristan
1 WEEK LATER
Rory has settled what happened and were now both friends. They were also both trying to ignore the feelings they had for each other. So it surprised even Tristan when he bought the PJ Harvey tickets. For in that moment he decided it was time. He had no idea how wrong he was.
"So Mary," Tristan said leaning against the locker next to Rory's' watching her blush as she tried to open her locker. "I have these tickets to see PJ Harvey," he started.
"NO WAY!" Rory yelled completely forgetting about her locker. Then her face fell. "Who are you going with?" at this point she had returned to her locker.
"You."
"What!"
"You and me are going to PJ Harvey."
"No,"
"Yes,"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"EEEEEEEEEEE." Rory squealed, then a cloud of thought engulfed her "I'll think about it." And she walked off a grin plastered to her face, the same grin Tristan had plastered to his face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You told them I was going with you?" Rory asked outraged
"Well you are aren't you?" Tristan asked
"I don't know." Rory said biting her lip
"Think fast!" Tristan said grabbing her books "If you can get them before it get to my car you don't have to come." Tristan cried running off towards the parking lot.
"TRISTAN!" Rory yelled sprinting after him. They were flirting/yelling all the way outside. Then Rory stopped dead. Tristan spun around looking in the direction she was staring, and the smile slid off his face like water running down a street. There stood Dean next to his truck fuming. He looked as if he was ready to punch the living daylights out of Tristan. Rory rushed over to him. They were having a heated conversation. Some of it floated back to Tristan.
"Go back to your boyfriend!" Dean was shouting angrily.
"He's not my boyfriend." Rory retorted. Deans eyes widened and he bent down to kiss Rory. As Deans Lips Touched Rory's, Tristan's heart broke cleanly in two.
Rory the heartbreaker
Rory pushed Dean off and yelled.
"Get off me Dean!" She spit out "You broke up with me because I didn't say I loved you. You didn't wait 'till I was ready you just broke up with me! Well you know what, maybe I'm over you! So forget about everything, except maybe an apology!" Rory turned on her heel to find that Tristan had left her books on the ground, with a note saying.
You Win
-Tristan
It was clear tears had fallen thick and fast. As Rory thought that it began to rain, and she started to cry too.
