Reviewers: Thank you so much for reviewing! I appreciate every review!
Authors Note: Hey y'all! I'm so sorry for the long wait! I had a virus (Trojan Dialer Virus to be exact) and couldn't get on. Once I got it back I didn't have enough time to update. But at least I have updated now. It goes in time to my always updating after a new episode thing to! I'm writing this at school and this computer is crazy. Ahh I'm writing in 8 font and it's like 12 its crazy. And I can't seem to find new times roman font either this computer is freaking me out. Oh my gosh! My teacher just scared me to death Ahh I swear he should wear a bell or something sneaking up on innocent girls like that! lol. Anyway I'll have my newest fic out in the next few days you should check it out! I feel really bad about the long wait. It was so long I almost forgot where I was on the fic. I had to sit here and think for like 5 minutes before I could remember. I really think I'm having a blonde moment today (I'm allowed to make fun of them because I'm blonde) as I started writing this chapter after all the effort of remembering where I was at I realized I forgot to add a disclaimer. Don't know what's with me today. Guess this will teach me from going so long without updating! Well that's it for now if I write anymore its bound to get crazier. So onto the chapter…
Oh my gosh! That episode was fairly good. Not exactly the best episode but it was still good. I found it really hard to pay attention to it though. Which is really weird for me. But I also found that the episode dragged on and stuff. But it was okay I guess. But what I can say is I can't wait for the next episode! It's going to be awesome! But if Rory does what it looks like she's going to do with Jess I won't like her character anymore. I swear I won't just like if Logan had of truly cheated on her I would hate him. Oh Alexis will still be my favorite actress just not her character. Now onto something else that's been bugging me about current episodes, Luke! I honestly can't stand him now he's treating Lorelai like crap, they should kill him off or something. I used to like Scott's character but now they're making him be a jerk to Lorelai so I hate him. Okay enough of my episode whining….
Okay, since the chapter is out after I saw another episode I had to talk about it... It was a good episode but I didn't like how mean Rory treated Logan. I can't blame her but it was still to harsh for her character I think the writters messed up. And on the previews and spoilers they pumped the episode out to be so much better than it actually was. I was kind of disapointed but it. But good news! I don't have to have hate Rory! Another thing what the hell is with Milo's hair? I'm sorry but I don't like it it make him look him... ah can't think of what it makes him look like but its something his character is now. lol well thats it since this is an extra long rambling authors note thing sorry...
Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to my beta for betaing for me and listening to my fic ideas! Couldn't do it without you thanks!
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls. I just own the plot of this fic and the characters you don't recognize. But yet I am not and never will earn money for doing this.
Recap:
"No we can't!" Rory said with a little laugh, as she shut her locker "If we did that, then you would distract me and I'd never get any studying done!" She then pouted, before she said, "You don't want me to fail do you?" She completed the effect by giving him the 'puppy eyes'.
Before Tristan could answer, another male voice broke into the conversation.
"I see not much has changed." he said from a few feet away. The look on his face clearly showed his amusement.
Rory and Tristan looked at him for a few seconds before Rory over came her shock. "Charlie!" she yelled excitedly running into his arms. The two hugged furiously, oblivious to all.
Tristan watched the two as Charlie picked Rory up and swung her around 'What the hell are they doing?' he thought jealously. Tristan cleared his throat and said angrily as the two pulled apart and looked at him "What the hell is going on here!"
Chapter 33:
Rory smiled at Tristan's obvious jealousy. "Oh god! I'm sorry Tris!" she said stepping towards him and grabbing his arm. "This is my best friend Charlie. Charlie this is my boyfriend Tristan."
"Its nice to finally meet you!" Charlie said holding out his hand to shake Tristan's. "I've heard so much about you" he finished with a friendly smile.
Tristan stared at Charlie's hand. He just stood there, staring until he felt Rory elbow him in the stomach.
He reached for Charlie's hand and shook it hard. Watching as Charlie winced but didn't let go. 'That ought to show him where his place is around here!' Tristan thought 'I can't believe Rory never mentioned him though. I don't care if he is her best friend if he tries anything on her, I'll kill him!'
"It's nice to meet you," he said, slightly glaring, as he let go of Charlie's hand.
"As fun as this is…" Rory cut in, "why don't we all go somewhere and you two boys can get to know each other and you" she said looking at Charlie "can tell me what the hell you're doing here!"
Both boys nodded in agreement.
"Where's the parking lot?" Charlie asked as they started down the hall "Cause I got so freaking lost when I got here it took me an hour to find you!" He said, sending a mock glare in Rory's direction, but unable to contain the grin on his face.
"She was in class." Tristan said tersely, grabbing Rory's hand and interlacing their fingers. "It doesn't take a genius to figure that out!" he finished in a condescending tone.
Rory and Charlie exchanged an amused look but didn't say anything. The trio continued down the hall in an uncomfortable silence until they reached Tristan's car.
"You can follow us." he said, using the same tone, turning to look at Charlie. He wanted to get a chance to talk to Rory alone to get some answers.
"Actually…" Charlie replied smiling at him, "I can't follow you two because Lorelai dropped me off."
"And he's not driving my car!" Rory announced "Not after what he did to Rosie!"
"Aw…come on!" Charlie whined "It wasn't my fault!"
"That's what they all say!" Rory replied taking Tristan's keys from him and unlocking the passenger's side and climbed in. "Lets go boys!" as she started the car and closed her door.
The two boys got in the car and drove off. The group drove in silence until Tristan pulled into a mall parking lot.
"Let's get something to eat," he said as they got out of the car.
"Okay" Charlie agreed.
Tristan grabbed Rory's hand again, interlacing their fingers in a possessive manner and leading her into the building. Rory looked over her shoulder, and shrugged apologetically.
Sighing, Charlie followed as he shook his head. 'What the hell is this guy's problem?' he thought 'Doesn't he know that Rory and I are just friends?' He followed behind them, leaving some distance, knowing that Tristan was probably trying to ask Rory about their friendship.
"Why didn't you tell me about him?" Tristan hissed softly in Rory's ear as they entered the mall.
"I tried to…" Rory hissed back, glancing back at Charlie "…but I didn't know what to tell you exactly." She finished, as she looked innocently up at him.
Tristan steered her into a coffee shop. "It's not that hard to tell me your best friend is a guy, in fact I would be able to get past it if I knew you two were just friends!"
"It is hard to tell you!" Rory replied in her normal tone.
"Why do you say that?" He said, fixing her with a confused look.
"Your friends…" She paused, trying to think of the right thing to say. "…they're not very accepting."
"Accepting of what?" he said, still confused.
Before Rory could answer Charlie appeared from behind them, catching what Rory had said. "They wouldn't be very accepting of me."
"How wouldn't they?" Tristan asked, steering Rory to a small table near the back of the room. "They're good people." He added, somewhat annoyed that this guy was passing judgment on his friends, whom he had yet to meet.
Rory and Charlie looked at each other then burst out laughing.
"I thought you would have clued in by now!" Rory said in between her laughs.
"Clued into what?" Tristan asked, even more confused by their laughter.
The two just laughed even harder. It took them a few minutes to calm down. Rory was the first one to respond.
"If you weren't so jealous of Charlie," she said after a few minutes "or threatened by him you would have realized that we have a strictly brother/sister type of relationship!" she said, reaching over and patting Tristan on the head consolingly.
"Well how was I supposed to know that?" Tristan asked feeling sheepish. "Besides just because you think you have a brother/sister relationship with him doesn't mean that he doesn't want it be more!" he said, eyeing Charlie once more.
Glancing at each other, Charlie and Rory once again burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Would you two stop doing that?" Tristan asked, annoyed at seemingly, being the butt of some inside joke, "I don't find this even remotely funny." he added, crossing his arms across his chest, as a small pout formed on his lips.
"We do!" Charlie said taking a breath and turning to look at Rory "How can you be with such a bloody idiot?" he joked.
"Cause he's hot!" Rory joked back. "But honestly Tris, you don't have to worry about Charlie and I." She said, laying a reassuring hand on his forearm, trying to get him to relax..
"And why don't I?" he said, relaxing his arms a little
"Because…" Charlie said with a laugh, "I'm gay."
Wow, that took me a super long time to get out. I started writing it almost a week ago and then I didn't like how a certain part was written so I rewrote it. And then when I emailed it to myself it didn't send so I started to rewrite it again when the email showed up. Lol It was all nuts. This isn't where I wanted to end the chapter. I had a twist planned but since it took me so long to get this chapter out I decided to end there and put the twist in the next chapter. Anyway see I told you all you wouldn't have to worry about Charlie breaking Rory and Tristan up! He's just there to serve as Rory's best friend. If your not for gays well then I'm sorry but I'm not changing it but you should know this Charlie won't have a boyfriend or anything basically all you'll hear from him is on that guys hot and stuff like that. And he won't be on for long just a few chapters. Well that's about it check out my new fic! It'll be out soon!
Charlie is 6 foot (I have a thing for tall guys lol)and has brown hair and hazel eyes
Warnings for the next chapter: Tristan's reaction to Charlie being gay and the twist is finally reveled!
Please Review!
