Reviewers: Thank you sooo much for reviewing!
Authors Letter: Ah don't kill me! I know this took forever to get out but I had exams and a wedding to attend which meant like no time to write! I'm so sorry though for the wait! This recap is longer than usual due to a longer time period where the chapters were put out than normal. I already have chapter 29 started so it should be out within the next few days. Apparently though there's some weird new virus out so when you check emails it kills your computer so it might take longer for me to put it out I might not open a lot of emails just in case. Be careful when checking emails guys you don't want to get this particular virus. Because if you do its bye bye computer.
Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to everyone who told me that there was no episode last week and to all those people that gave me links to websites to use for my report!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything and am not making money off of this.
Recap:
"Hey Roar!" 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 you're 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."
Chapter 28
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Rory groaned as Tristan backed away from the door.
"I'm afraid not" he replied turning to her.
Rory got up from the bed. "I can't believe they did this!" She yelled "When I get out of here I'm going to kill them!"
"Not if I kill them first." Tristan said through his teeth. Then reaching for the back of his neck and shaking his head he said, "I never thought they would stoop this low… I mean come on! To actually lock us in a room together?" At the beginning of his rant, his voice was low. It was now almost a yell, and a little higher pitch.
"I know!" Rory agreed, matching his tone. She had been glancing around the room, unable to look at Tristan. During her first sweep of the room, she failed to notice a letter on the table. This time, she did see it, and noticed that both their names were written on the front. Rory quickly walked up to the table and picked up the letter. She studied it for a moment, then opened it and immediately began to read the letter she found inside. After reading the letter, her shoulders slumped, and she silently handed the letter to Tristan, still not able to look at him.
Tristan stared curiously, at the letter in her hand, then at her, wondering what was in the letter she had found, and noting that she had yet to look at him. He quickly took the letter, and began to read.
Dear Rory and Tristan
Okay, we know your both mad as hell right now, but tough luck! You two aren't coming out of here until you make up. And we mean really make up! Don't try to fake it either, to try to trick us into letting you out! Work through your damn problems already! You've both been annoying the hell out of us all, claiming that you don't care about the other anymore, when its clear that you both still care and both still love each other. This is for your own good. Now there's enough food in there to last you a week; you can both find clothes in the closet, there's enough bathroom stuff to last you a month and the coffee maker is under the sink in the bathroom. Scream all you want, pound on the door, jump up and down…there's no point…you're not getting out...no one will hear you. In case you haven't noticed Alex's family doesn't use this side of the house and there's no window for you to climb out of. If you're wondering about your parents, they won't be looking for you. They think you've gone away, on vacation, for a week. Oh and we have your cell phones. You two really should pay more attention to your surroundings… neither of you noticed that we took them. Other than TV you have no other connection to the outside. When the two of you make up we'll let you out. Until then we'll be in touch.
Paris & Adam
As Tristan read the letter, Rory continued to look around the room. The room was quite bare. To the right side of the bed, there was a small TV. On the left side there was looked like a counter with a small refrigerator with a freezer and a microwave. Rory walked over to the closet and true to their word found a bunch of clothes. She quickly recognized the clothes as hers and Tristan's. She was concentrating so hard on the contents of the closet that she didn't hear Tristan approach her.
"What are we going to do?" Tristan asked quietly.
"Oh my god" Rory said jumping "Make a noise or something you scared the crap out of me!"
"Sorry" he replied sheepishly "But what are we going to do?"
"I don't know" Rory said with a sigh. "Wait it out I guess. They can't keep us locked up here forever." she finished with a shrug.
"Your right I guess" he replied, mimicking her shrug.
Rory walked over to the bed and sat down quickly. "I think we're in for a long and boring weekend."
"Yeah" Tristan agreed coming to sit beside Rory.
Blue eyes met blue. Suddenly, they were silent. They sat like that for a while, just looking at each other, the silence overtaking the room, until Tristan couldn't take it anymore.
"Lets see what's on TV" he said quickly, breaking eye contact with her as he reached for the remote. He flipped through stations quickly before settling on MTV. Tristan lay back as they watched the screen. Within seconds the next music video popped up.
Why don't I like the girl I see?
The one that's standing right in front of me
Why don't I think before I speak?
I should have listened to that voice inside meI must be stupid
Must be crazy
Must be out of my mind
To say the kind of things I said last night
Mirror Mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror Mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back to me
Mirror Mirror, lie to me
Show me what I wanna see (To me)
Why did I let you walk away?
When all I had to do was say I'm sorry
I let my pride get in the way (the way)
And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
I must be stupid
Must be crazy
Must be out of my mind
Now in the cold light of the day I realize
Mirror Mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror Mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back to me
If only wishes could be dreams
And all my dreams could come true
There would be two of us standing here in front of you
If you could show me that someone that I used to be
Bring back my baby, my baby, my baby to me
Mirror Mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror Mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back
Mirror Mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who 's the biggest fool of all
Mirror Mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back, baby back, baby back to me
Mirror Mirror, lie to me...
Show me what I wanna see
Rory and Tristan silently looked at each other. 'Oh my god!' Rory thought. 'Why did I let Tristan go?' Before she could think any further another video started. Breaking eye contact this time, she turned her full attention to the screen and she watched.
I wanna know
who ever told you I was letting go

and I swear it all over againd I
Tristan hastily turned the TV off, as a wave of thoughts flooded through his mind. "I'm tired how about you?" Tristan asked faking a yawn.
Rory quickly agreed, her mind filled with her own thoughts of regret. She then walked into the closet grabbed some pajamas and went into the bathroom to change. Fifteen minutes later Tristan and Rory were both ready for bed. Grabbing some blankets from the bed Tristan placed them on the floor.
"What are you doing?" Rory asked eyeing him curiously, as she stood next to the bed.
"Making myself a bed" he said looking at her as if it should be obvious.
"Why?" she questioned, obviously quite confused.
"I didn't think you'd want to sleep in the same bed as me" Tristan said quietly, fixing her with the same look.
"We have before" Rory pointed out, shrugging. "Look the floor can't be that comfortable just get into bed."
"Well if you're sure…" Tristan said clearly relieved that he wouldn't have to sleep on the floor, and nervous that he'd be in the same bed as Rory.
"I'm sure" she replied in a soft, somewhat shaky voice.
"Okay then." and with that Tristan climbed into bed. Once he was under the blankets Rory joined him. Leaning over him she turned off the light. Having her this close, Tristan had to fight the urge to hold her and kiss her.
"Goodnight Tristan" she said in almost a whisper.
"Night Rory" he answered, his voice matching hers.
The two just lay there in silence for a few minutes. A half an hour went by and Tristan heard Rory's breathing become steady. Once he thought for sure that she was asleep, he sat up to lightly place a kiss on her forehead and whisper "I love you Rory and I'm never gonna say goodbye cuz I never wanna see you cry and I swore to you my love would remain and I'll swear it all over again" he gently brushed a stray hair away from her face, then lay back down and fell asleep right away.
Little did he know that Rory was actually still awake and had heard every word.
Wow! That was short and crappy! I know sorry! The new chapter will be up shortly! I wrote most of this chapter at 3 in the morning so it's crappy. I know the songs don't really go but I couldn't find anyone's that really fit right now. It's easier to find songs when everything's all lovey dovey. I actually had a hard time writing this chapter. I knew what I wanted to write but I couldn't seem to write it down. If it seems a bit odder than my usual chapters that's why. I know Tristans last line wasn't really something he's say and corney but I felt like making him all sweet for this chapter lolbesides who knows if he would or wouldn't have said it in the frist place? On the show he's always so far out of character... I guess we'll never know...That's all I have to say for now...
The songs were by:
Song number 1: Mirror Mirror by M2M
Song Number 2: Swear it Again by Westlife
and I do not own them and am not making any money off of these lyrics!
Warnings for next chapter: More of Rory and Tristan locked in a room together. Nothing really to tell.
Please review! I love reviews! They make me happy and write more and faster!
