Guilt
She watched as he turned away from her the hurt was the only thing she could see in his beautiful eyes. She had put that look on his face she had made him feel that way. The guilt hung in her chest and the sadness also sat there, in her heart she knew she wanted to go with him but it was too much she couldn't trust him that way. Not now. His voice replayed in her head "You can count on me now I know you couldn't count on me before but you can now you can" Her heart believed him but her mind wouldn't let her trust him. She stood up from her box and looked out the door of her dorm; she didn't know why she expected him to be standing there. All she knew is that she felt a wave of disappointment run through her when she saw the empty hallway. She desperately wanted to run out and see if maybe she could catch him getting into his car and she could call out into the darkness that she loved him but her feet wouldn't move. Her mind made up a bunch of different things that she could do but her body made no action to do them. Why couldn't she run out there? Why wouldn't her stupid legs start to take action it was only a few metres to get to the doors that he walked out of, and then she would only have to walk a little farther to get close enough to call out? Even as she stood there willing herself to go she knew that even if she did get her legs to move she would find no Jess and there would no longer be a piece of shit car in the parking lot. So Rory did the only thing that made sense turned her body around and went into the room. Maybe one day she might have another chance and be brave enough to take it or maybe she wouldn't be and she'd loose the best thing that could have happened to her.
