Thanks for all the reviews. I'm still stuck on which way this should go so review and let me know...Do you want Tristan or Logan? Nothing is written yet so everything could change!! I don't own Gilmore girls
Ch 7 Families, yelling and the end??
"Rough night sweetheart" Tristan smirks as I enter the country club and he hands me the 'to go' cup he was holding.
"You didn't poison this did you, you can't collect any life insurance on me until after the wedding Dugray" I say staring at the cup.
"No, it's a peace offering Mare" he say and I take it from him.
"Why" I state. What is he playing at?
"Because whether or not we like this, we're in it together" he states while I take a small sip to make sure it wasn't horrible. I was shocked that he remembered that I loved caramel macchiato.
"You remembered" I state almost shocked and he smiles.
"There's a lot I remember" he says with that knowing smile of his, while opening the doors to the dining room where our families are waiting.
"Where the hell were you yesterday? You have a responsibility to your family to be where you told to be not wherever the hell you fell like it" Derek Dugray snaps at me.
"Last time I checked, you weren't my father or grandfather for that matter. I will do what I please" I demand not removing my sunglasses. The sun glare is horrible. All I want to do is crawl back into bed next to Logan for the rest of the day and sleep off this hangover.
"Lorelai Leigh take those off this insistent! You are not outside, there is no need for them" Emily scold me and I take them off. I also remove the white jacket I have on, because it's warm inside.
"What the hell is that on your arm" Mom yells and Tristan looks down at my arm.
"Someone got possessive and abusive last night" I throw a look at Tristan.
"You were with Huntzberger what did you want me to do, take it? I think not. You're my fiancé not his" he demands.
"I would be his if you didn't screw everything up like you always do" I yell standing up. I refuse to let him think he controls me.
"Me, oh that's right you're miss perfect. Miss I can't do anything wrong" he yells standing up. We continue to scream at each other over stupid things for a god ten minutes.
"Enough" grandpa yells and we both look at Richard. He never yells.
"Neither of you are perfect and have had your own indiscretions that is all in the past now so sit down so we can discuss this summer and whatever society events that are planned" he states and Tristan looks surprised at me. I just sit down and drink my coffee. I know not to argue with Richard.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
"I hate them. They should all riot in hell with whomever decided that socks and sandals where acceptable" I rant slamming the door to Finn and Colin's apartment after walking in and scaring the hell out of everyone. It's just about 2pm and they are finally all up.
"Rough morning love" Finn questions me laughing from the couch.
"I need a drink. Something strong, something that can numb this anger before I go over there and rip the heart of Derek Dugray with my bare hands" I state looking at Finn and he jumps up.
"I know just the thing" he states walking past me to the bar.
"I hate my father" Logan states coming in, exactly like I did and everyone bursts out laughing. "What" he states.
"Love just made a grand entrance as well" Finn says handing me a glass and Logan looks at me.
"Ace, don't drink that" he warns me and I smirk. Downing it in on shot and turning to Finn, "Another" I state.
"Finn" Logan warns him.
"What the lady wants the lady gets mate, she needs it" Finn laughs.
"Was it that bad" Steph questions and I slide the binder to her.
"I'm literally in hell and my grandmother needs to be burned at the stake along with Derek Dugray. I'm nothing but a pawn in their wicked plans to take our Hartford and throw out all the halfbloods and muggleborns" I state as Finn hands me the second and kiss his cheek.
"Did you just reference Harry Potter Gilmore" Colin questions laughing.
"Ace, what happened" Logan says coming closer. Something is off with him. I can see it in his eyes. Something happened this morning while we were separated. It has to do with Mitchum. He as that I just got my butt reamed out again.
"No way" Steph exclaims and we look at her. "So much for you two having the summer to stop this and be together" she adds and I look over at her.
"Ace" Logan tries again gently moving my chin to face him.
"The family and I are yachting around the Mediterranean with bible boy and the Dugrays until they leave and I have to spend the reminding holiday with Tristan on the yacht to Fiji before returning home for final preparations for the wedding at the end of summer. It's going to be the event of summer. The wedding of year, one that no other will compare to" I state mimicking my grandmother's snotty attitude and they all look at me before laughing.
"For three months" Logan says stepping back.
"Yes and as of next weekend everyone will know that we're engaged and will be followed by a bodyguard everywhere I go" I state sitting down next to Steph.
"They can't do that" Logan yells.
"Actually they can. She's the heiress of both families and Gilmore they all know today" Colin says handing me the paper. I'm shocked to see a picture of Tristan and me from the Europe benefit that we attended with Pop that summer before senior year. Below read:
Mr. Christopher Hayden and Ms. Lorelai Gilmore announce the engagement of their daughter, Lorelai Leigh Gilmore Hayden to Tristan Janlan Dugray, son of Derek and Rachel Dugray of Hartford.
Ms Hayden is the granddaughter of Francine and late Straub Hayden of Hartford and Richard and Emily Gilmore of Hartford. She is a recent Cum Laude graduate from Yale University with a degree in Liberal Art and international business. She is planning on attending NYU Law this summer to continue in the Hayden tradition. She was valedictorian of Chilton Preparatory Academy.
Mr. Dugray is the grandson of Janlan and the late Elizabeth Dugray of Hartford and Edward and Pamela DuPont of Hartford. He is a recent Cum laude graduate from Princeton University with a degree in Business and investment. He is planning on attend NYU graduate school of the Master is international Business and investment.
Ms. Hayden and Mr. Dugray dated for two years while attending Chilton together before decided to further their education separately. They have recently rekindled their romance and the families couldn't be happier. They have always been meant for one another. An end of summer wedding is planned.
"I want to tar and feather her first then burn her. Drop a house on her and take the ruby slippers and go back when everything makes sense" I state looking up at Logan. This reeks of Emily.
"It's over" he says stepping back. "They are making sure that we can't be together" he states.
"Logan" I say standing up going to him.
"Everyone knows, hell my father was the one who published this and then decided to interrogate me as to why I never knew who you were. My mother is livid and wanted to apologize personally. She fears that you are going to bury her in society and they can't have that" he state stepping back from me. I know I'm losing him and it's not fair.
"But none of this is correct, you know this. I love you. The crap about rekindling relationship is a lie because they are spinning it to look good. We all know that. It's my grandmother, she notorious for stuff like this" I state.
"What's the point Ace? They will stop at nothing to make sure this marriage happens. We shouldn't even try to fight it" he states and the room is silent.
"You don't believe this crap do you? You know me Logan. I don't want this" I state.
"Do I Ace? You lied about who you were, about your past. Why shouldn't I believe this" he states yanking the paper out of my hand. I just stand there staring at him. Where the hell is that all coming from? We spent all day yesterday making love together and after returning from the pub past midnight. That proves that I want to be with him. He sounds just like Mitchum, cold exterior and nothing in his chest.
"Man, she's been nothing but honest with us. We promised to help her" Colin says surprising me and coming to my aid. I will not make a rift in their relationship. These are his friends, not mine when it comes down to it.
"No, Colin he's right. He thinks he can't trust me now, He thinks that I'm only looking out for myself. He believes that I used him for personal gain. That he had the right to know and so did his family" I states and everyone is quiet. They can't believe what I'm saying. I turn and pick up the binder and my purse.
"I'm leaving. You all don't need to be a part of this. You don't deserve this. But I do hope you all have a nice life and get everything you deserve. That you realize what love is before you are ordered to marry someone that you don't love. I hope you realize Logan that you're speaking as your father and not as Logan that I know and love. So be happy that you're turning into him and will be alone except for the occasional whore on the side of a loveless marriage that will please your mother" I state stepping close to Logan so he's the only one to hear the last part. I look around at the shocked faces once more and leave Finn's apartment.
I need to get away. Go someplace to think. Someplace where I can figure out what just happened with Logan and what is ahead of me. I know just the place!
So review and let me know! Where should she go, what should she do?
