Chapter 10

As the sun beams through the curtains, casting a warm glow upon the room, Y/n found herself in excitement for it is finally Rory's birthday. She was currently wrapping a satin blue ribbon around the small gift box.

Y/n had always cherished celebrations of her friend's birthdays. She enjoys giving her friend's gifts and bringing a smile to their faces on special occasions. She truly makes birthdays memorable and exciting.

For Y/n, birthdays aren't just about gift giving but it's about making precious memories and experiences.

As she clutched the gift in her hands, multiple thoughts intruded her mind. Would she like it? Is it too much? Are we not close enough? Is it too little?

As she was overthinking, Tristan who had just entered her room saw that she was frozen and quickly realized what was going on. In an attempt to snap her out and comfort her. "You good?" He asked.

She was out of her haze and gave him a reassuring smile. "Yeah, I just I don't know, I feel like this is too much. I mean, we weren't even actually invited. Her grandparents just invited everyone in the class." She replied.

"Well, that doesn't matter. I'm sure she'll appreciate it anyways. Now, let's go. You look beautiful in that dress, by the way." He complimented her. She was taken off guard but smiled gently. "Thank you, let's head out now." She thanked him.

Now, you might be wondering how Tristan got in her room at such an early morning. The previous night at dinner had been a tiring event. As the clock ticked past midnight, Tristan had began feeling woozy not knowing the cause. Unable to keep his balance, Y/n reached out and helped him. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked worriedly. "I'm not sure, I feel really dizzy." He groans as a headache occurs and he starts slurring on his words.

Y/n had got a hint from the way he was acting and the memo of what is going on. She makes her way to his glass making sure to lean him over on a chair first and takes a smell of the mystery drink. Turns out, Tristan had been drinking alcohol the entire time. Was he that dumb to not notice it wasn't juice?

Y/n giggled at this. 'How clueless is he?' She thought. She made sure to complain and grab some of their money back and a free cake to go home with. She knew that if his parents saw him like this, they probably would freak out. "Do you want to stay at my house today? It'll be better and I still have some of your clothes there." She asks looking to the rear view mirror to check on him. She realized he had already fallen asleep.

She decided to just take him to her house anyways. As they got back to the house, she carried him, actually it's more like dragging him to her room. As she finally sat him down in the bed, she had thought of stripping him and putting much more comfortable clothes.

But it seemed really inappropriate and without consent even though it looked really uncomfortable. She then places him on the other side of the bed and she changed out of her clothes and slept.

Making sure there was a pillow between the both of them. Back to present.

As she hopped in the passenger side seat, Tristan made sure to grab the end of her dress and put it inside. He didn't want the dress ruined if she had just shut the door. "Thank you" she thanked him, not realizing she was about to shut the door on her own dress. He simply smiled back in return and went to the drivers seat.

It wasn't too far of a drive but the whole time, Y/n couldn't help but think of what Asher might be doing right now. She couldn't help but think of what Asher has in mind about their relationship. Maybe, she was the problem. She wouldn't know.

Once they arrived, they were met with multiple cars swarming the area. It was a surprise they found a parking spot near the house. As they were at the front door bracing themselves, the door suddenly creaks open. "Oh why, hello! Come on in. Rory's just right at the dining table. Gifts go in the living room!" Mr. Gilmore greeted them. "Ah yes, hello! Thank you." Y/n said coming in.
