It's killing me, Rory hasn't been talking to me for days now and I miss her. Due to all the rushing and stupid amount of things to do, I hadn't noticed she was my only friend there and now I lost her. I asked her today if she would like to study with me for this Shakespeare exam we have tomorrow, and she just said "no" and left.
Thursday 8:15 AM
We were having the test on Shakespeare and Rory didn't show up, there's been 10 minutes that Mr. Medina took attendance and I can only worry about Rory. I started concentrating when the door opened to Rory in a rush, she explained why she was late and said she got hit by a deer. I couldn't understand it. Then she screamed at Paris and the teacher got her out of the class. I looked at a laughing Tristan and made a worried face, he shrugged his shoulders and I went back to my test, still worried about her.
After the test, I rushed to my locker to see if Rory was at hers and she was.
"Rory please talk to me." I plead "It's been killing me having to see you all day and not talk to you. I should've told you everything from the beginning, I'm really sorry, but now I'm an open book, you can ask me anything, just please come back." She kept staring at me, I was saying that with tears in my eyes. "I want to know how you got hit by a deer, how's your mom, how's the inn, tier rank Luke's menu, complain about homework, drink coffee with you before class, study with you, I miss you. I know I wasn't supposed to keep something like that from you, but I was scared at first that you would treat me differently because of it, but now I don't care, I don't care about anything. I miss the Mary to my Lizzy, Rory." She still didn't say anything and just stood there. I gave up and walked away when suddenly I felt... a hug?
"I missed you too Y/n." It was Rory, thank God. I turned around and saw her blue eyes red in tears. "These past few days have been so stressful, I got a D on Mr. Medina's essay and then I studied until late for his test and missed my alarm. And so I rushed to school, at some point I stopped my car to talk to Lane, and boom a deer hit me. And it gets worse when I couldn't find him, I don't know if he's hurt or anything." She said running out of air, desperately.
"Are you sure you didn't hit the deer?" I asked confusedly, how could a deer hit a car?
"I WASN'T EVEN MOVING" Rory said nervously.

Thursday 4:00 PM
A week has passed since Rory and I made peace, and her birthday was coming up so I had to buy her something. Her grandparents were having this party at their house to celebrate the special date and they handed the invitations yesterday, Rory was upset because a lot of people she never talked to were attending and also people she dislikes. All that was done behind her back, so she asked me to come earlier and leave at the latest, so my new goal was to make her have the best night possible.
My parents were a bit upset with all of this birthday things because I would miss the free practices and quali of the US Grand Prix, but they understood how important it was for me to be there for Rory. Also, as it was in Austin, I could get on our jet at midnight and be there around 4:00 AM and still not miss the race that was at 2:00 PM, so it was all set.
I was leaving school and about to go to the mall to buy Rory a gift, when someone reached up to me.
"Lizzy!" Since the dinner Tristan and I haven't talked much, it seemed like he was sort of avoiding me. I won't lie, I missed being bugged by him.
"Hey, Francis." I replied politely as I was heading to my car and he followed me.
"Any plans this afternoon?"
"Yeah, I'll go shopping for Rory, and maybe buy a new dress for her party." I reply.
"May I join?" He asks politely.
"Why so? Are you in need of a dress, Tris?" I ask mocking him.
"What if?" He asked shrugging his shoulders.
"Get in." I say opening my car door and entering.
We went to the mall and I bought Rory's gift while he wandered around the bookstore. I bought her a collector's edition of Anna Karenina, one of her favorite books. After purchasing the book I wanted to buy her a Prada backpack, I intended to put the book inside the backpack so she would be even more surprised. Still at the store, I wrote her a little message on a paper and placed it inside the book, so she would eventually read it.
I bought everything for Rory and I was surprised that Tristan was a really good shopping company, he held the bags for me and we had nice talks throughout the afternoon. When it was time to buy the dress he would comment on the dresses I tried on. Until I put on this long, velvety, dark green dress and he silently stared at it.
"I could see us dancing together and you wearing this dress." He said smirking.
"Shut up." I said scoffing. But he was right, I looked incredible in that dress.
"I'll take this one home." I said and went back to the cabin to put back my clothes.
When I left the fitting room Tristan was nowhere to be seen, I searched around the store for him and found him at the register.
"Rude of you to leave me there. And what are you doing here?" I ask confused.
"Here." He said showing me the store's bag. "Now let's get an ice cream." He said walking.
"What?" I ask shocked. "You bought the dress?"
"Yeah, I did Lizzy." He confessed looking at me.
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to, it's my gift for you." He explained.
"Why?" I asked still in disbelief.
"Aren't you hearing or do you just like to say that word a lot?" He responds and I hit him lightly.
"Thank you, Francis, you didn't have to."
"I know that, now can we please have ice cream?" He said craving.
"Is that a pregnancy craving? Is it a boy or a girl?" I say jokingly and he chuckles.
We had ice cream and kept chatting, I was still in disbelief that he bought me that dress. I couldn't find a plausible reason for him to do so. I drop him at his house and I head my way. I was really tired when I got home, so I showered and went to bed and all I could think about was him.
