Rory stared at him. He was the last person she expected to see. What was he doing here? She studied him. He wore Khaki cargo pants and a black shirt that clung tightly to his new muscles he had developed while at military school. She looked down. She didn't want him to see her like this.

Tristan stared at the brunette in front of him. He wasn't expecting to see the love of his life tonight. He was expecting to see her tomorrow when he returned to Chilton. He studied her face as she looked at him and realized she was crying. His heart sank. he didn't want to see her cry. He set his fishing supplies down and walked over to her sitting down next to her.

"Hi"

"Hi"

"Why are you crying?"

"I broke up with dean"

He smiled. She glared at him.

"Sorry. But that makes me happy. I hated Bagboy"

She smiled slightly. "Yeah I know""

So if you broke up with him why are you crying?"

"Just……..cause"

"You're not going to tell me?"

Rory shook her head. "I cant"

"You can tell me anything Mary"

She looked at him. Looked into his eyes. She saw a sea of blue and something else. She couldn't put her finger on it. "Why are you being so nice?"

"I learned a few things at Military school. and besides, your crying. why would I be mean to you when your already sad? So back to you."

"No I can't tell you"

"Why not?"

"You'll kill him" She knew this to be true. If there was any part of the old Tristan left Tristan would drive to stars hollow and kill dean.

Tristan narrowed his eyes at her. "Did he hurt you?"

Rory looked away.

"Rory, Did He hurt you!" He grabbed her arm and made her face him. and that's when he saw the bruise Dean had left. His jaw tightened and his hand turned into a fist as he let go of Rory and stood up. "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch"

Rory chased after him. "Tristan no"

Tristan stopped and turned around. "Rory he hurt you. I can't just let him get away with this"

"Yes you can. please Tristan I don't want anyone to know. Please. For me." She said whispering the last part.

Tristan sighed. He really wanted to drive down to Stars Hollow and punch that asshole. But, If he did Rory would be mad and wouldn't ever speak to him again. "Fine"

"Thank you" She looked down. "I'm sorry you had to see me like this"

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug. "It's okay"

She cried into his chest. He rubbed her back.

This wasn't the reunion either of them had expected.
