This is a bit angsty really and focus's more on Rory than his and Amy's relationship although obviously there's still some relationship stuff in here and this is part of what has built it, the insecure bit of Rory comes from this incident for me, read on and you'll understand.

I was going to make this longer with Rory running to Amy's house and having a bit of a romance thing but I jut felt it would be predictable and too fluffy, plus they're both only 15 and Rory's really awkward so I felt this fit better.

Its A LOT different from the first chapter with that all being really happy and stuff but hey each chapters meant to be different otherwise this woul be boring! ENJOY!

The only thing I own is the plot and Finnegan and Danny.


Age 15

It'd been a hard day. Amelia hadn't been to school and that meant the bullying was worse than ever. It was just one lad, a lad in the year above. Rory wasn't sure what he'd done to him but ever since he started secondary school all he ever got from him was abuse. He called him Pinocchio because his nose was just a little bit bigger than everyone else's,. Amelia said you couldn't even notice it and to not worry about it but he did notice and worry because apparently because of his big nose he got beat up and his things got stolen, it was very stressful and no one did anything to stop it. Not even his best friend, she just simply laughed and told him to 'Man up!' sometimes she'd even call him 'Stupidface' and that didn't really help the little self-conscience he had, he knew that deep down she meant it as a sort of strange 'Amelia Pond compliment' and that it was her showing her affections but it just hurt sometimes, because she'd sit in his room most days after school gushing about how cute his mate Danny was or when she waited for him after school he'd come to find her flirting with an array of boys. All the boys that called her weird in primary school, all the boys that only wanted her now she'd grown these assets on her chest and had superbly long legs. He wondered why she never flirted with him, or called him cute. Probably because he'd grown into this awkward, skinny, gangly science freak, he should just be lucky she's even friends with him, Rory thought to himself.

As the final bell rang signalling the end of the day Rory groaned, he knew that today instead of his flirty best friend waiting for him it would be Finnegan waiting at the school gates for him, ready to punch him and kick him until eventually a teacher would come out and shoo him away leaving Rory on the floor reeling in pain. 'Maybe…' Rory thought 'Maybe I could sneak out over the back fence and run over the field'. He looked out of the upper stairs science rooms and out into the field, the fence wasn't that high and he could easily avoid any teachers if he jumped over quickly. Rory nodded his head and smiled as headed out of the classroom, dodging students and most importantly making sure Finnegan didn't catch him.

Rory reached the back fence in a matter of seconds after leaving the stuffy science classroom, he panted and held a hand to his rapidly beating heart. Surveying the fence from up close it was bigger than he originally measured but he'd have to try and escape his doom somehow.

First he threw his rucksack over the large fence and it fell on the other side with a thump, satisfied with the start he had made he began to grapple onto the rails of the metal fence, monkey-ing his way upwards. His first three attempts failed and he slid back down cutting his fingers in the process, he clenched his fists in near defeat until he heard his name being shouted in a distinctive, gruff angry voice

'WILLLLIAMS!'

Pumped with adrenaline Rory pushed himself up the rails, he wasn't up to being a beating bag, he was tired and upset that Amelia wasn't in school, he was nearly over and free when suddenly he felt a large hand grab his frail ankle.

'Na' ye' don't Pinocchio, get back here!'

He wrestled for his leg -hanging onto the fence for his dear life- he kicked as much as he could without falling backwards before miraculously he had kicked Finnegan in the face, his grip loosened but before Rory had a chance to celebrate the success in giving his bully a bloody nose he fell on the opposite side of the fence on top of his rucksack.

Oomph!

Rory stood up, pain searing through his arm but he wasn't bothered. He was safe. The railings between him and Finnegan acting as a shield, Finnegan's arms trying to grab Rory from through them only to fail miserable. Rory let out triumphant laugh before picking up his rucksack and stepping back slightly. Finnegan grumbled with a menacing look in his eye before putting one foot on the railing, following Rory's lead.

Rory's eyes widened before he took off at an amazing speed, all his effort wasn't going to go to waste, he was not coming home beaten up today and then getting taunted by his sister, no way.

Rory ran and ran and ran until he was sure he'd lost Finnegan, he ran through tree's and a small river, he ran through muddy puddles, he just ran as far as he could nearly every 200 yards changing his direction ever so slightly. He ran until he was completely confused on his whereabouts.

Then he collapsed on a patch of grass, his heartbeat was out of control and dark rain clouds were looming over-head, his feet were already soaked but the pain in his arm had gone at least. He wasn't sure if his current predicament was better or worse than a black eye, neither was he sure of how to get home. He just closed his eyes and hoped someone would find him eventually because he couldn't keep this up much longer.


Again...I LOVE REVIEWS! ;)
