Reviewers: Thank you all so much for reviewing! I truly love and appreciate every single review I get.
Authors Note: Hey guys! See I told you all that I could juggle more than one fic. I thought it would be hard but so far it's been really easy. Actually the start of this chapter was written in school. My teacher left the room and gave us work that we did like two weeks ago and I finished it the day we got it -grins- cause I'm a god girl. I wasn't sure how to start this particular chapter, I had a few options and couldn't decide on one yet again. So I decided to take the easy was out and jump ahead of Paris's and Adam's conversation to hours before the party. I really didn't want to but I couldn't give it away in the first few paragraphs now could I? So I went ahead. Although I started this at school I finished it at home, which means its not a super long chapter sorry. I blame the people who make people go to school. I should try and write as many chapters as I can when exams are over so I can update daily like I did at the beginning. If anyone has a good website or two for researching countries please tell me! I need to research a country for school, and if I get a few really good websites I can finish faster and will have more time to write!
OH MY GOD THAT EPISODE WAS SO GOOD! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE LETTER SAID! AND IS RORY AND LOGAN BACK TOGETHER IT KIND OF SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE KIND OF NOT... what do you guys think? GOOD BOY LOGAN BAD LUKE BAD!
Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to my teacher for slacking off and giving me time to write.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters that you recognize and am not making any money off of this I'm just a fan of the show who's completely obsessed and loves to write.
Recap:
"That you are by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." The boy said sweetly.
"Oh…uh…really?" Rory replied blushing, surprised by what he said. 'Maybe he's not so bad, after all. I could always use a new friend in this place.' she thought regarding the boy in front of her. "What's your name?"
"Eddie" he replied happily. 'She's putty in my hands.'
"Oh hey, Eddie" Rory replied, smiling. "It's a pleasure to meet you"
"The pleasure is all mine" he said still smiling 'and the pleasure really will be all mine.'
Nodding, Rory turned back to her book. She read a sentence before Eddie spoke again "What are you doing?" he asked, somewhat confused.
Now, Rory was annoyed. "I'm reading…what does it look like?"
"Mmm…Feisty… I like!" Eddie exclaimed, quickly leaning in and kissing her.
Rory jerked away quickly "Hey!" Rory yelped, while wiping her mouth "What did you do that for?"
"You know what for, Mary" Eddie replied leaning in and kissing her again.
"Stop it!" Rory yelled jumping up from her seat, knocking it backwards. She tried backing away from him.
"You know you like it!" Eddie said grabbing her arm, and pulling her to him then slamming his lips roughly to hers again.
Tristan entered the library briskly. Walking over to the reading section of the library he almost stumbled, when he came across the seemingly intimate scene. From where he was standing, all he could see was that Eddie was kissing Rory and she seemed to be enjoying it.
'I knew she didn't love me!' Tristan thought angrily, as jealousy seared threw his veins. 'I should have known she would do this. God! I'm so stupid!'
Just when Tristan angrily turned away, he heard her yell "No! Let me go! Stop!" The fear in her voice was evident.
Tristan turned around again, just in time to see that Eddie was trying to force his lips again on Rory's, and that Rory was struggling to get away.
'That bastard!' Tristan thought as he ran up to them and quickly pulled Eddie away.
"Back off Curtis!" he said deeply "Leave her alone." He was now facing Eddie, looking like he was ready to kill the boy.
"Oh!" Eddie said, obviously amused. "And I suppose you're going to stop me?" he said smirking while stepping closer to Rory. Rory had her eyes on Tristan the whole time. She was so happy to see him, but at the same time shocked that he was helping her, especially after all that had happened.
"Yeah, I am." Tristan replied, looking Eddie in the eye with a look that clearly said 'You're dead.'
"Oh…ok!" and with that Eddie ran out of the library.
"Are you okay?" Tristan asked, stepping a little closer to Rory, concern was written clearly on his face.
"I'm fine." she answered softly looking into his eyes. She missed looking into those eyes. She almost forgot how easy it was to get lost in them. "Thanks for saving me" she said, her voice still soft.
"You're welcome" he said, his tone matching hers. They stood there for a few more seconds, blue on blue. Then as quickly as the moment came, it left. Tristan was the first to break eye contact. He cleared his throat and mumbled, "Ok, well…see ya!" and quickly left the library, almost similar to how Eddie had. As if his life depended on it. Rory just sat back down in her chair, staring at the spot Tristan had just been standing in. She sighed, putting her book down, knowing that she wasn't going to be getting any reading done.
Unknown to both of teens, Paris and Adam had witnessed the entire exchange from behind a huge bookshelf.
"We have to get them back together!" Adam whispered urgently.
"Yeah we do" Paris agreed, shaking her head. "I don't know about Tristan, but Rory's been miserable without him." She frowned slightly as she glanced at her friend through the shelf.
"Oh, believe me, he's been miserable without her too" He replied, looking in the same direction as Paris. They both sat on the floor and faced each other, when Adam said "But what can we do?" He knew that he wanted to help his friends…he just didn't know how.
The two sat there in silence for a few seconds before Paris declared "I've got it!" her eyes widening with excitement.
"What?" Adam questioned, his interest now piqued.
"Well you know the party Alex is having tomorrow?" she said, almost jumping out of her skin.
"Yeah" he replied with an implied 'Of course, I know!'
"Well…" she continued "this was what I was thinking..."
Chapter 27
Early Friday night Paris pulled into Rory's driveway. 'Let the games begin!' She thought as she parked the car. She hastily climbed out of the car and walked briskly up the front steps ringing the doorbell.
After a few seconds, Rory answered the door.
"Paris what are you doing here?" Rory asked, shocked at who her visitor was.
"I'm taking you out!" Paris said determinedly.
"You're what?" Rory asked in disbelief, eyebrows raised.
"I'm taking you out!" Paris repeated, slightly annoyed as she stepped into Rory's house closing the door behind her "I think you need to get your hearing checked."
"Taking me out where?" Rory asked, still shocked that Paris was there and that she wanted to go out.
"To Alex's party." Paris answered as if it was obvious.
"I can't go there!" Rory exclaimed, eyes wide. "Tristan will be there!"
"So." Paris shrugged. "A month ago you would have jumped at the chance to be able to spend more time with Tristan." she finished giving Rory a knowing look.
"That was then this is now!" Rory said watching as Paris moved away from the door and started up the stairs "Where are you going?"
"Your room" Paris replied as she continued to walk up the stairs.
"Why?" Rory asked, still standing by the front door.
"Because we have to get ready" again stating as if it was obvious.
"I told you I'm not going!" Rory snapped, now walking towards the stairs.
"Oh…you are Hayden" Paris called from the top of the stairs, out of Rory's sight "You're not going to sit around here and mope all vacation long! You're going to get dressed and accompany me to a party that one of your friends is throwing!"
"He's not my friend" Rory yelled stomping up the stairs "Besides I told you already I'm not going"
"And why not?" Paris asked smirking at Rory met her at the top of the stairs. "Afraid of seeing Tristan?"
"I'm not afraid of seeing Tristan!" she said as she stomped her foot.
"That's not what I heard!" Paris said knowingly. "You said and I quote 'I can't go there! Tristan will be there!'" she finished in her best "Rory" imitation.
"So?" Rory said reluctantly "Okay so I am scared…you would be to!" she said finally giving in to Paris' stare.
"Ha! I knew it!" Paris said happily as she trotted to Rory's room and went into her walk-in closet.
"I said I was scared. I never said I was going to the party" Rory said following closely behind Paris.
"You're going!" Paris called from inside the closest, and after a few seconds of silence she came out and thrust an outfit in Rory's hands "And your wearing this. Now go take a shower!" she said in a commanding tone.
"I'm not going" Rory resisted, arms crossed.
"Yes you are" Paris said in a calm voice that clearly said, 'I'm not leaving unless you go with me.'
"No I'm not!" Rory yelled "Why can't you guys just leave me alone and let me wallow in my self pity in peace?"
"You're going" Paris said "If you don't go then were going to bring the party to you, and you know I'll do it" she finished giving her a pointed look.
"You're threatening me…with invading my house…with the party…if I don't go?" Rory asked incredulously.
"Yep" Paris said smirking, knowing that Rory had already given in. "And I know for a fact that your parents are out of town for the night and said absolutely no parties."
"Fine! I'll go." Rory said defeated walking to the bathroom to shower "But I'm not happy about this!" she quickly added before she shut the door behind her.
"Never said you would be!" Paris called after her smiling.
Paris waited until she heard the shower start, waited a few more seconds, then picked up the phone. She dialed quickly and put the phone to her ear.
"Hello?" a deep male voice answered
"It's Paris" she replied "We have lift off."
"She's getting ready?" Adam asked, clearly shocked that Paris had pulled it off.
"As we speak" Paris replied "We'll be there in about two hours. Get the room ready!"
"Alex and I finished it a few minutes ago" Adam replied smugly.
"Did you put the letter in there explaining things?" she questioned.
"Yes Paris we're not idiots." he answered, as he rolled his eyes.
"Did you give them food?" she questioned again. She knew she could trust Adam, she just really wanted this plan to work.
"Yes" Adam said "Look just trust us. It's all set." as if reading her mind he added "I want this to work too you know!"
"Fine" Paris said in a huff "Tell everyone to be in there places at 10 sharp!"
"Aye,aye, Captain." he deadpanned. "You do realize that you're too much of a perfectionist, right? Relax."
Ignoring the comment Paris said "Is Dugrey there yet?"
"No. Not yet he'll be here within the hour though" he said still annoyed that Paris didn't seem to trust him.
"Okay" Paris said as she heard the shower turn off "She's getting out of the shower. Gotta go! Bye!" and with that she hung up.
Two hours later the girls stepped out of Rory's BMW and walked up to the already jam packed house. The music was blaring so loud you could hear it from the street. The two girls walked into the house, past the drunken idiots, past the swaying couples and into a room that looked like it may have been the living room.
Tristan was hanging out with Adam when he immediately sensed that Rory had entered the room, without even having to look up. He kept his eyes trained on Adams face, willing himself not to look.
So far it was working out, that is, until he heard a loud whistle. Turning his head to see where it came from he saw her standing with Paris and Dylan. Rory was wearing low rise blue jeans and a red plain t-shirt with a coat. 'She looks so beautiful…' he thought as he watched her 'but what the hell is he doing with her?' Tristan continued to watch. Within seconds to his great relief it looked as though they were arguing. Tristan remained silent, just watching as Paris stepped away from the arguing couple. 'I wonder what they're fighting about?' Tristan thought. 'Maybe she's telling him that she wants to be with me and doesn't want to have anything to do with him.' Tristan thought gleefully. If only he knew how right he was.
Rory heard a familiar whistle coming from beside her. Not glancing up from where she was standing, she ignored the person that was now standing beside her.
"Hey Ror!" Dylan said "You look good." he finished as he looked her over.
"Thanks" Rory mumbled still not looking at him.
"You're welcome." Dylan said not noticing the tone in her voice. "I see your not with Dugrey." he said as he scanned the crowd.
"Mm-hmm" Rory nodded, still trying to ignore him.
"So you can be with me again then!" he said happily "We can be just like we used to!"
"No we can't." Rory said softly. So softly that he almost didn't hear her. Almost. "We can't be together anymore" she said as she finally looked up at him.
"Why not?" he demanded angrily. "You're not with him anymore, so we can be together like we used to"
"We can't!" Rory yelled.
"And why not?" still confused as to why she was fighting with him on this.
Rory watched as Paris stepped away from them before answering "Because we just can't." she said in a calmer voice.
"That's a stupid reason!" Dylan yelled "In fact that's no reason at all. You're just a stupid slut! I don't know why I bothered with you!" he glared at her one last time, and stomped angrily out of the room.
Tears formed at his harsh words. 'I have to get out of here.' Rory thought, looking around for Paris but unable to find her in the crowd. 'Where is she?' Glancing around the room seeing everyone staring at her, Rory blushed then fled.
Tristan watched as Rory ran out of the room. It took all his will power not to go chase after her.
"She'll be fine." Adam said reassuringly after seeing the look on Tristan's face. "Paris will look after her. Don't worry."
"Okay." Tristan said uneasily.
Five minutes later Paris approached Rory.
"Where have you been?" Rory demanded "I've been looking all over for you"
"That doesn't matter!" Paris replied evasively.
"I never should have come here." Rory said unhappily "This was all a big mistake. I want to go home."
"We can't go home just yet." Paris said "I need to do some damage control. I did, however, find a quiet little room where you could sit and read while you wait for me, ok?"
"Okay. Let's go" she agreed, knowing there was nothing else she could do. Paris then led Rory upstairs and showed her where the room was. As soon as Rory stepped in, Paris quickly fled saying "I'll be back as soon as I can."
Paris went tearing down the hallway and down the stairs as Adam heading up.
"Where's Tristan?" Paris asked out of breath.
"Went to the bathroom, in the room" Adam said "Where's Rory?"
"She's in there too!" she said, eyes wide.
"Crap!" they said in unison and took off running towards the room again. They reached the door and locked it just as Tristan was about to grab the door and run out.
-Inside the room-
Tristan stumbled into the bedroom and bathroom, that Adam had directed him to. When he came back out, he got quite a shock as he saw Rory lying on the bed reading a book.
Rory didn't know anyone else was in the room, so she was shocked when she heard the bathroom door open. She looked up at the boy who had interrupted her.
"What are you doing here?" the said together. If it were any other time, both teens would find this amusing. But this wasn't any other time.
"You first." Tristan said in an almost whisper.
"Are you sure?" Rory asked and Tristan nodded afraid to speak. "Well…Dylan and I got into an argument…but you know that already. I wanted to leave but Paris wouldn't let me, so she told me to wait here... oh my god!" Rory's eyes widened when realization hit.
"What?" Tristan asked confused.
"We've been set up!" Rory exclaimed "This whole thing was a set up to get us talking again."
"I'm going to kill them." Tristan he growled slowly, running towards the door. He grabbed the handle but it wouldn't turn. Groaning, Tristan turned to look at Rory and said "They locked us in."
Ha ha that hasn't been done to often it'll be explained more in the next chapter. Such crappy weather isn't it? For those in the Northern part of Ont in Can. Anyway wasn't entirely in the mood to write the ending of this chapter probably due to the crappy weather but I was determined to get it out of the way so I won't have another thing on my To-Do list. I know this was a short crappy chapter my only excuses are school for the shortness and crappiest on the bad weather that put me in a bad mood. Its kind of weird if you read the Authors Note at the top of the page I'm all happy now I'm not... sad eh? Okay enough of my whining... so cya all next time!
