Feedback: please!

Recap: Love?: Tristan Dugry did NOT fall in love, love was painful. And
Tristan didn't like pain. But Tristan knew he had fallen in love, and he
had fallen hard.*

"Tristan," Rory's voice brought him ot of his thoughts.

"Oh, yeah, the reason i treat you differently. Well, you see Rory,
sometimes people...," Tristan shook his head, "Rory, i think i'm in love
with you."
End part 2

But Rory hadn't heard him, because at the exact same moment Tristan told
her how he felt, The bus made a sharp turn and squeled louldy. In an
instant, the bus flew of the curb and rolled down a hill. Rory was thrown
into Tristan, who was thrown against the window. Everyone was screaming.
"Shit, shit," Tristan screamed. The bus landed upside down, tilted to one
side tossing everone back, and fell over on it's other side tossing
everyone back. 

When the bus finally came to a stop, Rory was hoorified at the sound she
heard...absolutely nothing. Except for her breathing, but no, she wasn't
breathing, she hadn't taken a breath since the bus had swerverd. Whoever
she heard was breathing rapidly, whoever it was was terrified. Rory
realized that she was on top of Tristan, and it was him that she heard.
His forehead was bleeding, but he seemed to be okay. 

"T..Trristann?? Are you, are you, are okay? I mean, are you okay??" Rory
said shakily.

"I, i yeah, but, what what about yo you," Tristan asked concerned.
Rory didn't even remember what she had asked Tristan minutes before.

"I, where's what hap- what about everyone else," Rory asked. What had

Tristan shook his head to make himself think. "look, Rory, the, the thing
we need need to do is, just get out of this bus," he siad trying to be
calm.

"What, what about everyone else, i mean, we can't just, just leave them,
here, in here, i...can we," Rory asked, she was still confused, she
couldn't believe this was actually happening.

"look, Rory, focus, come on," Tristan got out form under her and stood
up. 

"Tristan, my ankle, it really...," Rory didn't even get finished, Tristan
picked her up and carried her out of the bus. 

"We, we need a phone, or something," Tristan said, still holding Rory.

"Tris, I don't think, that, there, any, phphones around here." ristan
looked around. All he saw was hills. The road was up a steep hill, and
with Rory's condition...
