A Place in My Heart
Chapter Two
By ilovedoodle
*This chapter ain't great... not much happens so skip it please, don't abandon me;).
Authors note: I'm so freaking pleased with myself. It's been what, two days and I have updated already. Usually it takes me over a month to update so feel special. I guess I just really like this and where it is going. It's short ok, but what I have done is detailed so stick with it. I kinda rushed it and nothing much happens. Basically, I failed to explain everything fully in the first chapter so this is still a bit of an introduction. The next chapter's going to be exciting though (your cue to click the 'follow' button;)). Thank-you for the reviews! Big shout out to NujabesebajuN, jjohnson612 and icantremember (?). I never get reviews on any of my stories so I'm really happy, and I got nearly 90 views! Please leave comments, they help me improve and motivate me. Also, if anyone would like to be my beta for this just review/pm me as i understand my grammar etc isn't perfect.
Disclaimer: Just incase any of you are feeling mean and would like to sue me, you can't. HAHA. Because I just said that I don't own Victorious;).
Tori spent the rest of the night watching chick flick movies on the TV, curled up on the sofa alone. She could have called Cat and they could have hung out together, or Beck, or Robbie or even Jade! She had plenty of other friends. But she couldn't make herself text someone, it was like she wanted to drown in her own depression. So for the next few hours, she sat there trying to make herself feel better. It didn't work, because every little thing reminded her of him.
There was a funny sketch in one of the movies where the broken-hearted girl thought of her life in the future. She was a lonely old woman who sat at home with her cats. It was meant to be funny, but it only made her night more depressing. It just made her think that that was probably going to be her in the future.
She had never felt this way before. She had been out with lots of boys before, some serious, some not. Many had broken her heart even by not intending to, but this was worse. Although she claimed she did, she never really loved any of those boys, and now she knew what it felt like to love someone so much it hurts. They always said true love was hard to find but even harder to capture, and Tori finally realised what that meant.
Her parents carried a worn out Tori up to her room at past one am, after returning from their romantic dinner. She didn't intend to but all she dreamt about was him, it was like nothing else mattered.
There were so many times Tori could have realised she loved André when he didn't have a girlfriend, but when he did it all had to come out. She felt so pathetic, and if she had felt this way about anyone other than André, he would be teasing her endlessly right now.
She woke up late the next morning, and almost didn't have time to worry. She had planned to make a huge effort this morning for school, to make herself look especially hot and make André want her. But she felt so tired when she woke up she almost didn't care. Anyway, nothing she could do would make her even compare to the likes of Belle.
She threw on a white lacy jumper, some pale blue jeans and floral before applying some mascara and lip gloss. She didn't bother making her bed, and instead sprinted down the stairs and hopped into the car where Trina was waiting for her.
She turned the radio up high, so high it was deafening. Mainly because if Trina said anything slightly Trina-ish, she would bite her head off. She was dreading school, but at the same time she couldn't wait to see him again. Maybe, he'd break up with Belle because he realised he felt the same way about Tori that she did about him. She could only hope, even though it was useless.
Trina was rambling on about something Tori didn't care about. She loved her sister, but sometimes she felt like punching her in the face, like now, for instance. She dragged her fingers through her hair and looked in the side mirror. 'Great, I look a mess' she thought, sighing helplessly to herself.
It's only a five-minute drive to HollyWood Arts, so she barely had time to pull herself together when she noticed Cat knocking on her window with her trademark smile on her face. She smiled weakly back at her, before opening the door and climbing out.
Cat was in nude heels, white short shorts and a green fluffy jumper, with her cute rucksack slung over her shoulders. 'She must be freezing!' was the first thing Tori thought which shocked her, who was she turning into?!
If it had been anybody other than Cat, Tori would have called her a slut. But Cat was too cute, innocent and somewhat annoying to be called anything of the sort.
"Tori! Hey!" Cat squealed with her usual girlish voice, blind to Tori's misery. Without trying, Cat could raise anyone's mood, she just had that kind of nature. Despite Cat being in heels, she still had to look up at Tori.
"Hey Cat" Tori said casually "what have you got there?" She motioned to a small black box cupped in-between Cat's petite hands.
"Oh, this?" Cat questioned.
Cat wasn't dumb, even though that's what everyone thought. She was actually pretty clever, but simply put it on to hide the broken girl from the broken family that no one could ever find. Even Tori was blind to this.
"Yeah that" Tori replied casually. You have to be patient if you want a real conversation with Cat. that was another one of her characteristics, but the one that made her so damn lovable.
"It's my engagement ring, I'm getting married today" Cat stated, as if it was no big deal.
"You're what? Caaatt?" Tori asked, curiously yet just a little worried. Well, it was Cat they were talking about.
"Because this one time, my brother asked my mum and dad about their marriage and then they said that they werent married and my brother got all upset…" Cat carried on talking in the little way she did, even if she knew no one was listening.
Suddenly Tori forgot to listen at all; she was perplexed, frozen all of a sudden, because there was André hand in hand with Belle.
They were laughing happily together, the way they used to do. And the way André looked over at her made Tori want him for herself even more. It hurt so much, but Tori just couldn't tear her eyes away. It was like she enjoyed the pain.
Belle was tall and slim, with a curvy figure and huge boobs that every guy wanted and every girl wished they had. Her golden, sun streaked hair cascaded down her back in gentle curls, not unlike Tori's own hair style. Everything about her screamed 'perfect' but at the same time 'bitch'.
Maybe it was just Tori who didn't like her simply because she had André and she didn't. But she thought she was a snob and a bitch, yet everyone else was oblivious to this. The boys liked her because she was well, Belle, Cat liked her because Cat likes anyone and Trina liked her because she's rich and might just be able to make her famous.
The only person who doesn't like her/probably wants to kill her is Jade, because if anyone so much as talks to Beck, you're guaranteed trouble and that's without being pretty. Even though Beck and Jade aren't even together anymore, even Tori could tell that Jade still wanted him back. Maybe that's why she hated Tori, because she was pretty and Beck paid a lot of attention to her. Still, at least Tori and Jade had one thing in common, they both hated Belle.
Tori turned away, afraid she might cry if she saw anything else. Cat was still going on about her brother. "-you didn't really think I was getting married did you Tori? I think my brother did" Cat giggled, which Tori failed at returning.
"Have you seen them two?" Cat asked, motioning to André and Belle who were now swallowing each other's faces. Tori followed her gaze. How great it would be to be that girl. She scolded herself though, she needed to get over him, no matter how hard it was.
"Get a room!" Cat shouted, ducking behind a car and then bursting into a fit of giggles. Of course, André turned round and saw Tori standing there innocently. He stared at Tori for a second, his eyes looked at her in an apologising sort of way, but it was only Tori who couldn't see that he was unhappy. Belle said something to him, causing him to roll his eyes at Tori, and continue with his previous activities. Not even a smile. And how hard is it to distinguish Tori's voice from Cat's? You don't exactly have to be Einstein.
"What's wrong Tor?" Cat asked, concerned. "Is little Tori jealous?" She giggled, poking Tori in the tummy. She scowled back at her, even though it wasn't Cat's fault, forgetting that Cat is abnormally sensitive.
Yes was the answer to Cat's question. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But what she didn't understand is if André was so in love with Belle, why did he kiss Tori in the first place?
Tori brushed past Cat and ran inside. She couldn't take it right now. This was going to be a long day, and if she was going to feel like crying every time she saw those two, she might as well die now.
Still stuck on title names even though apparently it's ok as it is. Anyone with any title ideas tell me! Please review (because I'm not desperate or anything) :P
