Chapter13:

I don't understand why she behaved like that yesterday. Maybe she was just joking about liking me. Or maybe she was just scared. I was scared too. I felt like it was the first girl I was talking to.

I came back to be with her. If I cannot have her and stay in the Hartford elite I'm going to become like my father. I hate him and I hate what I may become without Rory.

She is coming toward me. Shall I wait for her to say something? Shall I talk first? Why am I so nervous?

R:Hello Tristan

She is smiling, wait, what is she doing? OMG! She is kissing me! I can't believe it! She tastes of coffee.

I think I really really really love her.

R:Welcome back! Sorry for yesterday. I hope this kiss make it up for it

T:If I get a kiss every time you think you did something wrong I hope you do something bad soon, so you can make up for it

R:Hey Military Boy stop smirking and take me out for coffee

T:But Rory we have to go to class

R:I never knew you wouldn't skip a class for some fun time with a pretty girl, maybe now I have to call you Angel Boy or maybe Joseph!

T:Hum Mary I can't skip the first day. My father will send me back to Military School. And I'm here to stay. I'm here for you. So we just have to wait until school end and I'll take you anywhere

R:Ok Joseph, anyway I was just joking, you know I wouldn't loose a day of school, after all I'm a Mary

T:You're not just a pretty Mary, you're a beautiful Mary and I hope my Mary

R:Tris, I want to be your Mary but you'll have to be patient with me because I'm very bad in relationships

T:Mary you'll have to be patient too. I've never had a real relationship so we'll try to work it out together. But what about Jess?

R:I broke up with him. When I discover that I liked you I couldn't lie to him or to myself

T:Oh Rory! I'm so happy! Tell me this is not a dream. Tell me that you really want to be my girlfriend

R:No it's not a dream and Yes I want to be your girlfriend

+++After school +++

T:So Mary where do you want to go?

R:First coffee and then I want you to see my mom and get to know her

T:Shall we go in Star Hollow to get the coffee?

R:I would like to go to Luke but not with you

T:Why don't you want people seeing us together?

R:No silly! Luke is Jess's uncle and he works there. I don't want to hurt him more. I just want to let him time

T:I understand. It must be so hard. I cannot think about loosing you.

R:If you behave well you won't

+++ Gilmore House +++

R:Mom! I'm home and a brought a hot guy with me!

T:Hot?

R:Shut up Joseph

L:A hot guy? Where is he? I just see Military Boy

R:Mom

L:Ah! You think that Tristan is hot! Well I can say that he is pretty. Anyway he's too young for me

R:Tris, I'm going to change. Mom keep him company

L:Ok Tristan. I want to tell you just few things and make sure you understand. First, you hurt Rory and you're dead. Second, you try to change her into some elite girl and you're dead. Final point if ever you consider to sleep with her just use protection

T:Lorelai. I love Rory with all my heart. I will never hurt her. I don't want her to be part of the elite and I don't want to sleep with her. I mean I do but it's gonna be up to Rory. I'm here to stay and whatever happens I will be by her side

R:Mom did you talk with Tristan enough? Is he ok?

L:I like him. You've my approval. I'm going to Luke for a coffee. See you soon Tristan

T:Bye Lorelai

+++ On the couch +++

R:So Tristan, I know it's funny but I really know so little about you. I know I don't like your player attitude. I know I like our banters and the poems you wrote me in the letters. Do you want to talk about you?

T:Well Rory I don't know a lot about you too and I'll be happy to know you better

We stayed there talking until night. It feels so good to open up to a person who really cares about you. I wish everybody could find the ONE. I know that Rory is the other half of me.

I don't know if we will be always so happy with each other. But I'm willing to risk. I'm willing to try to have a beautiful and happy life with this wonderful girl that is Rory Gilmore.

I just want to believe that even when we will have problems we will be able to talk about them and to solve them. And before going home Rory gave me this poem and told me that tomorrow was going to be a beautiful day because she had me in her life.

I feel so lucky I met her and I want to share this poem with you.

What I've Learned In Life

I've learned that no matter how good a person is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.

I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life.

I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for ourselves.

I've learned that there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.

I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want her to doesn't mean she doesn't love you with all she has.

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by someone else. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.*
AN: * this poem is anonymous. I don't own it but I just thought that I like to end my story with it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and gave me support through the writing of my first fan fiction. I want to thank Gina to be always there for me when I need her. I want to thank my mother for believing in me. I want to dedicate this fiction to Tristan. My dream guy, the guy who is perfect because he just exists in my mind. Still even if he's not real I love him for all the emotions he makes me feel.
