OK So I'm really glad you guys are liking this. I put the twist in just because I felt there should be something else to the story.

sooty7sweep- im in year thirteen. It's kind of a love to hate it kind of college.

Aznangel4eva- don't worry it's not the last we see of Chris

Everyone else- thank you your praise means so much keep on reviewing.

Here's the next instalment Chapter 7- something wrong

Rory braved it through most of the day at Chilton without screaming. That was until English last lesson.

"Hey Mary", Tristan set in the seat next to her "Now I was thinking about last night" he spoke in a whisper "and you didn't seem all that unaffected by me as you'd like me to believe"

Rory blushed slightly. Was she that easy to read? "You are delusional" she informed him and buried herself in her notes.

"And just when I thought I was getting some where with you Mary" he teased

"Tristan get a grip, either use your brain to help with the presentation, be quiet or better yet don't come to class at all!" she sounded harsher than she had wanted.

"Fine." Said Tristan and turned around to face Summer "You doing anything later?" he asked and looked at Rory carefully to see if there was any reaction. She gave nothing away. Why was she being so bloody impossible?

Rory welcomed the Bell, Raichelle gave her a lift home again, she assumed her mum was trying to patch things up with dad.

Rory new something was wrong when she got closer to the house as she approached the front door Green day's 'Time of your life' was blaring from the upstairs stereo. He mum only listened to this song when she was really depressed.

"Mom!" she yelled as she walked through the door. She checked the kitchen, not there but the coffee pot was full…Odd, her mum would never abandon Coffee. Not unless something seriously bad had happened. She ran up the stairs and into her mum's room. Sure enough she was sat in bed a large box of Twinkies beside her and tears rolling down her cheeks. "Mom, what happened?" she said getting in bed beside her

"He… he came for his stuff … and …we fought again." She said it between sobs "He says he doesn't… love me anymore." She broke down completely.

"I'll go ask sookie to come over" and with that she went downstairs shed never seen her mum like this before. She was a total wreck. It was almost terrifying.

As she approached the phone it rang, she answered "Hello?"

"Hey Ror, you on your own?"

"Matt!" she could've cried for joy "You have to come home"

"You know I can't do that Ror."

"You have to. Dad walked out on Mum and she's a mess. I cant handle it on my own. I just can't." she was about to cry herself.

"Why did Chris leave?" he asked.

Did he just call dad by his first name? Thought Rory…. He did know.

"Luke" she said simply.

"He found out?"

"Yep."

"Ok. I'll come home but I swear Rory if this is some trick you'll die" it wasn't a threat it was a promise.

"She hasn't had any coffee" she told him

"Good god! I'll get Jess to drive me… I'm on my way" he hung up

It was 7.30 the next morning and Matt still hadn't got there. She was seriously worried. Mum was getting steadily worse and she was running out of ways to comfort her. There was a knock on the door.

A policeman stood there. "Is your mum in?" he asked

"I'm here." She said. Rory, whilst glad her mum had got out of bed stared at her in horror. She looked like a basket case, her hair was knotted and hair pyjamas were dirty and her eyes had big circles under them.

"Your Mrs Hayden" the officer asked

"Yes, why?"

"Well it's about your son, Matt. I'm afraid there's been an accident"

It may be short but it seems like that's the right place to end this chapter. Next one will be up tomorrow. Please review
