Don't own anything so don't ask.
This is a one shot that I just thought up one night.
Rory was opening letters that her grandparents friends gave her for her twenty-first birthday when she came saw a letter not from around her. She opened it up and saw a silver ring was inside and a note.
A single moment can change a life forever
A single mistake can make you wish you done things very different before it was too late
A single non-action can make your life a living hell
A single act of kindness can make you wish you were never kind to anyone
A single kiss can make you wanting more in your life
A single tear can make you cry which is what you haven't done in years
A single misunderstanding can make your heart go black
A single 'I hate you' can make you lose sleep over for days, weeks, even months
A single regret can lead you down a path you never wanted to go
A single book can make you wish you could take everything back in your life.
A single stair almost leaked out the truth about my fillings for you
A single mistake will never make me love you any less then when I lift you
Have a good 21st birthday Rory,
Capt. Tristan DuGrey.
P.S. You will always be my Mary no matter what you do in you life.
She saw Paris was in her doorway she was crying which Rory never seen before.
"Paris what is wrong?"
"Tristan died." She stood in front of Paris she couldn't believe what she just heard
"He just sent me a gift he can't be died."
"He was killed in action yesterday." Rory started to cry with Paris until they both fell asleep.
Today was the funeral and Rory was sitting with Paris as they had just found out what happened Tristan saved a busload of kids by opening fire on a van full of the bad people. During the funeral, some of his friends of the military talked about him. She wanted to talk about him but couldn't bring herself to get up in front of everyone.
They were at the gravesite the coffin had an American flag over the top of it as they gave she heard Taps playing in the background. She saw some them folding the flag up on the coffin and they were walking over to her.
"Rory Gilmore." She nodded as they held out the flag. "on behalf of a grateful nation." She was confused as to why they gave her the flag instead of someone in his family.
She saw all the people leave but she couldn't move, she felt like she was stuck to the ground. She saw the men who gave her the flag as she stopped him.
"Why did you give me the flag for?"
"Caption DuGrey said to give it to you."
"Why me?"
"I don't know ma'ma I do what they tell me."
"Thank you." He nodded and walked away as Rory walked over to the casket and picked up a rose. "I'm sorry Tristan for everything that has happened between us. I hope you can hear me, I love you it just took me longer to figure it out." She touched the ring that was around her neck now."Thank you for the gift." She kissed the rose, laid it down on the casket, and walked away whipping her eyes.
That is it I hope you liked it. I know a sad story and no there won't be anymore to this story. The poem just came to me one night it is the first poem that I have ever writen I hope it was okay.
