Subject: come rain dont shine chapter 4

Author's Note: Okay, sorry for the delay. I have to fixed my other computer
just to send you this one. But I guess that won't do. So here's chapter 4.
It's kinda fast. And unlike the other two chapters I've written, I'm feeling
a little different so I didn't put much jokes on it. Any way thanks to X Lopez,
he offered to edit my work. Look bro, I'll send you the next chapter as soon
as I finish it. I just hope I can. And by the way, I'm running low on output.
So please send me e-mails (God, I sound desparate).

 This is for ML. I love you the first time I saw you.

Disclaimer: Oh so you've decided to take a little trip to nifty hoping your
not watched in your little room by mommy. Well, guess what. I won't stop you.
As long as you keep an eye for yourself, you're gonna be alright. So enough
of the lecture and read on...

Come rain Don't shine

Chapter 4: How to read the cover

***Tristan's POV***


 "Hey Tristan, the guys will have a party tonight. Why don't you come?"
Gary said.

 "Um, I don't feel so good. Maybe next time."

 "Yeah like your always ditching us. What's up with you man?"

 "Look I just don't feel so good okay?" With that Tristan left the room
and went to the halls.

 What am I doing? God I am such an ass for even thinking about this.
I mean I could live a normal life like other kids do but why do I always go
back here. Urgh! Why does Maya have to leave me? And that Derrick! I
hate him for lying to me all these months. I hate her. I hate him. God, I
hate the world.

 Just then Tristan stopped in his tracks. For a single second everything
vanished except for that person sitting at the table talking to a girl. Suddenly
he could hear his heart pounding faster and faster by the second. His breathing
became hard and a moment of bliss overpowered him.

 Wow. *smiling* God he really is cute even from here. That angular face.
Those blue eyes. That blond hair. That name.... er what's his name again? Oh
yeah Terrence. Terrence. Such beautiful name. What beauty. But why? Why am I
always drawn to him? I've never felt like this to a man before. But neither
have I felt so much lust, or love? Is this wrong?

 But then he was shaken into reality, "Oops, I'm really sorry." A girl
with long straight hair and chic dress suddenly bumped him. She then smiled
at him with those impeccable lips.

 "Oh, no big deal. I was in your way Jane" Tristan said while he caught
her friends making a thumbs up remark. Well, the whole cheerleading team was
there bringing out support to their royal captain, Jane.

 "So, Tristan do you have any plans for tonight? The guys have asked me
to come to their party and I said yes," After that she flopped her hair like a
whirlwind in slow motion seducing Tristan all the way.

 "Um, I don't want to sound rude but well, I'm kinda sick right now."

 "Oh are you still hurt about your break-up with Maya? Forget about her
and move on with your life. There are other girls out there who are dying to be
your girlfriend like m...." She then licked her mouth sensually. Suddenly Tristan
felt awkward about the whole situation being seduced in the hallways where other
people can see them.

 "Yeah, well thanks. I should really get going right now." He then left
her. His mind kept telling him he should go back and apologize but his heart was
telling another. He walked back to the cafeteria where he saw Terrence but he was
no longer there. "Damn."


***Terrence's POV***


 Sweat kept running through Terrence's forehead. His body was growing pale.
He can almost hear his breath under all silence. "Cathlyn I can't take this
anymore."

 "Shhh. Just keep quiet and don't move so much."

 "But Cat I don't want to do this. Please, I can't."

 "God Terrence you sound like we're having sex. Now just sit down there and
let's wait for Tristan in the car. He'll be coming out in a few minutes from
practice okay?"

 Look I don't have to give you the details why I would rather have my hair
charred than to be with that bully...Tristan *sigh* I hate that Mr. Tyler. Doesn't
he know that I'm going to be mutilated in a couple of seconds? Urgh!

 Cathlyn quickly snapped her binoculars and said to me, "The target has
been located. Wow, he looks way cuter from here."

 I turned around and well, you know... died. I mean Cathlyn was right. He's
not only cute. He looks... yummy! He took his car and drove to his house while
we stalked him from behind. I don't know but I've got the feeling Cathlyn was
enjoying the whole espionage thing. Then suddenly the car stopped to a house,
no I'm sorry for my inappropriateness a huge MANSION! We both looked at each
other with our shocked faces.

 "Not only is he a fox, he's got the money to go with it. Is he available?"
I glared at her. I don't know if it's jealousy or just my unreliable instinct.

 "Look, what do I do? He's expecting that a member from the amity club
would be there. And I'm here, looking all stupid. Saying stupid things."

 "Okay, just relax. We've got everything planned out right? Here take this."
By then she began to take out everything in her bag. Wow, this girl is armed.
>From pepper spray to electrical taisers, I thought Cathlyn and Buffy are relatives.
She then pulled out wires and placed them on my ears. "There, everything's set.
You'll be able to communicate through me and me to you. If anything happens just
scream and I'll kick ass okay?"

 "Okay," I then slipped off the car to the front of Tristan's house. I
rang the odd looking doorbell three times and was greeted by an irritated look
from what I think was the butler.

 "Welcome. Master Tristan is expecting you. Come in." All the while the
butler said this with a monotonous tone. Like giving a speech to a mosquito. I
felt very welcomed.

 "Okay I'm in," I said to Cathlyn on the other line. While I was being
lead to a flight of stairs by the butler, Cathlyn kept reminding me to act cool.
Just think of him as a patient who needs your help was Cathlyn's advise. How could
I be calm when every step I take is like one step closer to hell? Urgh! Finally,
the butler left me at the top and said that I should take the room far left.
Well, I did but when I got there, I didn't expect what I saw. It was Tristan, on
the side of the bed with his back turned to me. There was only one light in the
room and I can feel the emptiness around me.

 "So why do you want to help me?" Tristan said still not facing me. This
is way too eerie.

 "I've come to help you in your problems. The amity club said you've been
missing classes and stuff. And..."

 *Tell him he needs your help, Cathlyn said*

 "And you need my help..." God I'm totally trembling right now.

 "Oh, did I ask for any? Look why don't you just leave me alone and..."
he then spun around and was cut off. His angry face was changed and we just stared
at each other for a long time. I was the one who broke off the stare and looked
at my shoes instead.

 *Introduce first yourself dumbass, Cathlyn kept nagging me on the other line.*

 "Um, I'm Terrence remember?"

 "Yeah, I remember. So your one of them huh?"

 "Yeah," Wow, this has got to be the most intelligent conversation I have
ever had.

 *Okay, now go to him and make him tell his story. And don't push it Terrence*

 I don't what came over me this time. maybe it's the weather, the moon,
the shape of earth, I don't know. Suddenly I felt his pain. He was crying all
this time and it was glittering in the light. I just found myself beside him and
looking straight into his green eyes. You know what they say that the eyes are
windows to the soul. I guess it's true then. That moment, I saw the true Tristan.

 And then he poured it all to me. All his pain and sorrows. It was about
Maya. I knew there was something about her from the incident. I guess they were
really in love with each other. He said that they were an item back then and
they decided to spend their lives together. But one day Maya had to leave for
a year to stay at his parents. He waited her then but time past by and a year
turned into two years and three. By the time she got back, he found a different
Maya. They began to grow apart. He first suspected that there was somebody
else. he just doesn't know who. And when he saw Derek and Maya together, he was
crushed.

 I don't know what to say when he told me this. I felt real pain for him.
I don't know why but it seems that every time he cries I feel like I'm gonna
turn up the water works. But no, this isn't about me, its about Tristan. What
do I do now? Tell him that everything is going to be all right? Tell him that
I'll be there for him whenever he needs someone to cry on? Fuck! I don't see
how any of these words could comfort his pain right now. Gee, Terrence, you're
going to be really great in the amity club. Urgh!

 So after all that he just stared at me again with, yep, you guessed
it, those green eyes. Damn! Why does he have those wonderful eyes. And why the
heck do I fall for them every time I see him? Urgh! But then he smiled. No, no
not the ordinary smile. It's the one that makes you feel all mushy inside. Like
you can almost see fireworks and stars. Okay, I may be exaggerating a little
but hey, he's a god!

 "Why are you smiling?" I said

 "Nothing its just that I didn't notice you had blue eyes. I mean with
those glasses and stuff. Its beautiful," What? Did he just say what I think
he said? Um.... nah....

 Okay, so why is he staring again. Now he's moving closer. Closer. Closer.
Hey, stop that! Now he's reaching his hand. What the fuck? He's taking off my
glasses! Just then did I realize what he would do. I quickly stood up from him
and when I try to walk away, I tumbled backwards.

 "Ahhhh!" I screamed. I think Cathlyn's wires are broken cause it made
a loud bleep that deafened my ears.

 "Are you okay?" Tristan said

 "Um, fine. I'm fine. I just want to go to the washroom and..." Tristan
then pointed out where it was. I immediately left him there. Damn Cathlyn and
her wires! That really hurt. I then remove all her nifty gadgets and placed
them in my pocket.

 "You okay in there?" he yelled behind the door.

 "Yeah, just a sec" Damn! Got to get fixed.

 "Sorry. I was just...." As I opened the washroom Tristan's door was
suddenly banged. I look to see who it was but I quickly knew that voice.

 "Freeze FBI!" a woman with a pepper spray in her hand called. The butler
was behind her and made a look that said 'she was just too strong' and kept
panting his breath. I turned around and looked at Tristan who kinda got confused too.

 "It's okay Cathlyn everything is under control. We have the right to
remain silent." But she kept her eyes over the room examining it like some
crime scene in CSI. "Its okay Tristan. She's a friend. Now can we all put the
pepper spray down real slowly. Yes, that's it good girl, now give it to me,
that's it." She was still hesitant at first but I grabbed it away from her.

 After that we all calmed down. the butler kept cursing under his breath
about how Cathlyn literally back flipped and hit him while she was getting
in the house. I wasn't surprised at all since she's a Charlie's Angels fan.
Tristan made us sit down at his couch and began to interrogate us. Suddenly
I felt like the patient here.

 "So you two know each other?"

 "Yeah. Well we're best friends if that's what you mean," I answered.
Cathlyn just hit me with the elbow and looked at me that said 'Would you
please stop and let me do all the talking?'.

 "Yes, we know each other. No we are not going out. Yes I am single.
And yes treating me to dinner would be fine thank you. I'm Cathlyn by the way."
Oh, good now she's flirting with him. How nice. Tristan just chuckled. Did I
ever mention he had dimples? Wow, that is so cute.

 "And I'm Tristan. So why the sudden appearance?" You know somehow
I felt Tristan was at ease now. He seems to have forgotten everything.
Figuring out that it was okay, we explained to him what we had planned.
That I go to his house while I call Cathlyn for back up. He was certainly
laughing the whole time. I like making him smile and laugh. It brings out
the cuteness in him. Okay, there I go again. Would anyone want to throw
bolts of lightning at me? Please?

 Well, I looked at my watch and its almost late. Grandma we'll be
worried sick. And besides, I think my work here is done. I mean look at those
two. They seem like they are comfortable with each other. I really don't
want to be the third wheel. So I guess its time.

 "Hey guys it's getting late I really should get going" I said as I
picked up my stuff.

 "Wait I'll drive you," Cathlyn offered.

 "No, you stay here and keep Tristan company," She kept refusing but
then she finally gave in. I smiled at Tristan and waved bye.

  Soon I was on the road. Alone again. The moments kept rushing through me.
Today, I met Tristan. I mean not just by knowing his name but his innermost
secrets. I really don't know what to think of him now. I mean I really thought
he would pounce on me when he took off my glasses. But then I have this strange
feeling that when I'm with him everything is going to be just perfect. Urgh!
I'm really confused. Hey wise guy upstairs! Isn't this the part where you tell
me confusion leads to hate. Hate leads to anger. Anger leads to...... Tristan?
I don't know. There, it's the confusion thing again. I think I'm falling....
er......

 Come rain dont shine
