Hi! Thank you all for the really lovely reviews! Sorry I didn't update yesterday like I said I would, I started writing it but it didn't save so I had to restart it. I hope you like this chapter, this is just all of Tori's anger and emotions, coming out. Please review, I hope you like it! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious.
Almost everyone, young and old, turned and looked when they saw the 'star' of Hollywood Arts, trembling and practically jogging down the crowded streets of Hollywood, on the verge of sobbing, and they thought 'What made her get like this?' and some even mocked her for her weakness, suggesting she was just 'being a baby'. They had all seen her in the well-established plays of Hollywood, but none had seen this brown eyed girl anything else but cheery. They just didn't know the story, no-one did.
Tori P.O.V.
Stepping through the front door to my house, I quickly closed it and then sunk to the floor. Finally, an escape from all those people. Some giving me looks of concern, but most of laughter. What do they think, I didn't get the lead in Steamboat Suzy or something? This was much worse than some stupid play.
1000 different voices were inside my head, telling me completely different things. Some saying 'What have you done? Just abort it, everyone does it, It's a natural thing' others saying 'Look on the bright side of this, You could be bringing new life into this world' but I just don't know which to listen to. Whats the point of me telling anyone at the moment. Anyone can advise, but until this actually happens to them, I find their opinion irrelavent. They don't know what this is going to be like! I don't even yet! 9 months of pain, getting fat, headaches and strange food cravings, I don't want this! I want to just be a normal student, like the rest, at Hollywood Arts, building a foundation for an fame-filled career.
But, If I keep it, I would have no future as a singer, like Sikowitz said, when he laughed at my dreams, even if I knew he was only joking, it still hurt. Children are a full time commitment, and especially when there's only one parent bringing it up. That brought my mind onto the subject. It's not just me in this, 'it takes two to tango', this confirms my idea of not telling anyone about this 'incident' yet. They'll just think the same as everyone else, that I'm a whore, a slut. They'll want to know who the father is. They'll ask questions.
I'm not ready for that yet. But at some point, it seems I'll have to be. Realising I've just been sitting on my floor for an hour, I slowly get up, I don't want to see Trina when she comes through the door, She'll only ask why I wasn't at school at the end of the day.
Heading upstairs, I heard the familiar 'bleep' of my phone. Hopefully something to brighten up my day, I think, as I retrieve it from my bag.
(2) New Texts.
From Cat
From Unknown Number.
An unknown number? Probably just someone trying to get me to sign up to some subscription, or buy something. I'll check Cat's text first.
From: Cat

Haha, so nieve, cute little Cat. So innocent, sometimes I envy her optimism. How can one person be so happy, all the time?! Laughing, I quickly tap a response, 'I'll be there, can't wait!'. Just because I found out about this news doesn't mean I can't have a social life. Right? Maybe I could tell her? I don't know yet. Plus, the dinner will mean getting out of the house and away from Trina, can't be much better.

I know your secret.

Okay, this is weird. I was expecting 'Text GO to 32334 for an entry to win the new PearPhone!' or some rubbish like that. This isn't normal. But, it'll just be a spam text, or a prank, right?
In my head I was freaking out, but on the outside I shrug it off, It'll just be something stupid, but I'll play along in their game, replying 'who are you? What secret?'.
Collapsing onto my bed, all I can do is lie there. You know those times where your so upset, that you can't even cry? Your face feels raw from crying too much already, so you're just...speechless.
But, seriously, what could be worse in my life right now? I'm pregnant, I have some weirdo texting me, and they 'know a secret' about me. At least I have my friends...
Debating whether or not I should go to dinner with Cat, I decide I'll still go, I've lost everything else, I don't want to lose my friends too.
Emptying my tote bag onto the floor, ready to organise it, I notice something missing.
Playing through what I did throughout the day inside my head, I realise what's missing.
The pregnancy test box.
Gasping, I realise, someone could know. Someone could have found it.
But, that's okay, right? They won't know who dropped it… right? They will have just been a little weirded out, maybe threw it in the trashcan and carried on their day, RIGHT?!
From: Unknown Number.
I know your secret, and if you don't listen to me, so many more people will. You should learn not to litter, Vega.
Wrong. I was so wrong.
Collapsing back onto my bed, I find the tears I couldn't before.
Could this get any worse?
Please review? Thanks for reading! :)
