Because He's Rory

Rory felt hurt, rejected and like an idiot for even thinking of letting himself get close to someone again. He couldn't talk to any of his guy friends about it, because they never felt this way and couldn't possibly understand. They'd just make fun of him again and call him Emo Rory. But Rory was getting tired of that and tired of feeling hurt.

Instead, he vowed to be more like his untouchable friends who emerged unscathed from every bad relationship they had - and there were plenty. In fact, Rory's down there at Lowe's right now buying barbed wire. He plans to wrap his little heart up so well that he'll never feel anything again.

But it won't work, because Rory's not one of the tough guys. Deep inside, he's just a truly sensitive person. It's why all the girls love him .... because he's Rory. If Rory doesn't feel loved, it's because he's sometimes busy feeling just a little scared. He's not alone. Even his untouchable, cool friends are scared. They're just not in touch enough with their feelings to realize it.
