They both arrived at Lukes after a few minutes of
skating, and realized that they had no shoes, so rory
decided just to skate into Lukes. Tristan reluctantly
fallowed her.
When the reached the counter, Luke turned around:

“Who’s he?” he asked rory, like Tristan wasn’t even
standing there\
“oh, Luke this is my friend Tristan.” Rory told him
“the evil Tristan, as in making your life a living
hell and calling you biblical names Tristan?” he asked
obviously mad
“yea, but he’s different now, were friends.” Rory
smiled at Tristan
“alright, but I'm keeping an eye on you bible boy...
oh, and rory, glad to see that bag boy is history,
never liked him anyway.” 

Rory and Tristan made their way to a table and sat
down. Rory was still hoping that Tristan hadn’t heard
the last comment. She figured she’d have to tell him
sooner or later anyway.

“um.. Tristan, i forgot to tell you, dean and i broke
up” she said not making eye contact with him.
“i know.” he told her
“what do you mean, you know?”
“I ran into him after I took you home on the last day
of school.”
“so you’ve known this entire time, and you didn’t say
anything.” she said getting mad
“i figured that you needed some time... and why are
you getting mad at me?” 
“so what is it, you never wanted to be actual friends
with me, you just figured that since dean wasn’t in
the picture anymore, you could just move in and finish
that little game of yours. Well you won Tristan, I
fell for you, you made me feel stupid.

“rory, your the one that called me, it wasn’t anything
like that.” he said trying to calm her down

“I can’t believe I let myself fall for a jerk like
you! I never want to see you again” she said getting
up from the table and storming out.
Tristan watched her from the window, still shocked.
She took off her skates and just ran.

She ran and ran until she found herself in a little
spot in the woods. She didn’t know why she had yelled
at Tristan , or why she was mad that he hadn’t told
her.  She regretted everything that had happened in
the last 10 minutes, everything was just so confusing,
and she didn’t know how to deal other than to push
people away from her. ‘you did it now rory, he’ll
never speak to you again, god, your such an idiot, why
can’t you just let people care for you?’

Tristan had finally gotten up, and he took off his
skates and walked back to rory’s house to get his car.
He hoped that she was there, so that maybe she could
talk to her and explain why he hadn’t told her. He
felt horrible, he felt like his heart had been ripped
out and stomped on. The only girl he ever loved,
finally had feelings for him, but now she never wanted
to see him again.
He got to rory’s house and knocked on the door, nobody
answered. He  just got in his car and drove off. 


A week later, they still hadn’t talked. She hadn’t
gotten up the nerve to call him and apologize yet,
much to the criticism of Lorelai. Her mother told her
that if she waited to long, she could loose him.

Rory finally got up enough courage to call his house. 

“hello” a womens voice said on the other end of the
phone
“hi, is Tristan there?” rory asked
“I’m sorry, Tristan's not here”
“well, do you know where he went?”
“He left to spend the summer with his great uncle in
France. He won’t be back until school starts.”
“oh, well thanks.”
“you could leave message on his machine, he’ll
probably  check it once in a while, here I'll put you
through”
“um...no..it’s alright” but there was no answer and
then she heard another beep. She was going to hang up,
but she finally decided that she needed to get this
off her chest.

“um...hi Tristan, this is rory. I know your gone, and
maybe that will make this easier, but I really needed
to tell you I’m sorry for what I said to you, I’m
sorry that I didn’t believe in you, and I,...I miss
you. I f you don’t want to talk to me, i understand...
but i really am sorry. I guess I’ll see you when
school starts... i ...” then the machine cut her off. 

She was disappointed, her mother was right, she had
waited to long, and now she had lost him. She just sat
down on her bed and cried.


TWO DAYS EARLIER

Tristan was still thinking about what Rory had said to
him, and he had thought about picking up the phone
hundreds of times, but thought that it was best to
leave it alone, he didn’t need to be hurt more than he
already had, and he didn’t want her to be hurt. She he
decided to take his father up on an offer he had given
him to go spend the summer with his great uncle in
France. He figured it would give him time alone, to
think about his feelings, and maybe he would even be
able to forget about rory.
