Chapter 4

What the Hell?

[Tori's POV]

I woke up to a loud banging sound coming from down the hallway.

What is that?

I groaned as I looked over at the time which read 5:04am. I still had almost an hour left of sleep but the noise was constant.

I threw my covers off before I walked out of the door and down the hall.

BANG, BANG, BUMP

I followed the noise down to Shiloh's room before I tried to open the door which was locked.

"Shiloh what is that noise!?"

Instantly the banging stopped.

"Shiloh?"

Still there was no answer.

"Shiloh! Open the door!"

The door opened slowly as Shiloh stood staring at me with evil eyes.

I took a step back. "What's going on in there?"

She didn't answer she just kept staring at me which was starting to creep me out.

"Shiloh!"

"Yes?" She said as if nothing was going on.

"What's the matter with you?"

She smiled, but it wasn't a normal smile, it was more like an I'm hiding something type of smile. "Nothing Victoria."

Victoria? Why?

"Are you okay?"

She chuckled. "Everything's fine. Relax." Her voice was in an amused/scary type of tone.

What the hell is wrong with her?

"Why are you acting so…like that?"

She crossed her arms and lifted a brow. "What am I acting like? Please inform me?"

I just studied her for a minute as another smile spread across her lips.

"Well I'm going to get ready for school." With that she stepped back to close her room door before I heard a chuckle coming from the other end.

Me: Jadeeee!

MyLove: I'll be home soon.

Me: No! That's not it. Shiloh is….she's like…weird.

MyLove: What do you mean weird?

Me: I woke up to loud banging coming from her room, then when I go talk to her, she was just…acting weird. She was actually scaring me.

MyLove: Tori butterflies scare you.

Me: That was one time! And I'm so serious though.

MyLove: Well I'll text her or something. I just woke up. I'll be there soon.

Me: Jade.

MyLove: What?

Me: I love you.

MyLove: ….I love you too Tori.

Me: Why couldn't you come to me?

MyLove: What?

Me: Why couldn't you come to me? Why did you have to go to Beck?

MyLove: ..I really don't know. I just…I just didn't want to come home is all.

Me: I'm here for you too Jade. Beck told me how you let it out with him last night. I'm just wondering, you know….why him when I'm here.

MyLove: Tori baby, I really don't know. I was just lost…idk my mind wasn't right. I know you're here. I love you so much. I didn't mean to offend you or anything. It wasn't just a plan to leave here and go to him it just happened.

Me: (sighing emoticon)

MyLove: What is it?

Me: I noticed over the years that when something gets hard or too much for you, you run to Beck….it makes me wonder….like, do you think I'm not strong enough for you or something?

MyLove: Baby no! nooo. That's not it. It's not anything.. sometimes I just run away and I always didn't go to Beck. I've been to Cat & Andre too. I just don't like for you to… see me put down. I feel that I shouldn't be crying into your shoulder; that you should be crying into mine.

Me: Jade I'm your wife. We will go through things. I know you're not made of stone. Everyone breaks sometimes even if you think they don't. I want to be that person you run to. I want you to cry on my shoulder if and when you need too. I won't think any less of you if that's what you're thinking. I love you. I want to hold you sometimes, you don't always have to hold me.

MyLove: (kissing emoticon) I love you so much Tori. I'm sorry.

Me: It's fine. Just know I'm here always.

MyLove: I know you are. You're my little Idiot.

Me: (straight face emoticon) (flick off emoticon)

MyLove: Fiesty?

Me: Come home.

MyLove: I'll be there. Love you.

Me: I love you moreee.

MyLove: Ugh don't mess up the moment.

Me: (mad face emoticon) I'll see you!

MyLove: (heart emoticon)

Me: (Heart emoticon)

[Jade's & Shiloh's Text]

Jade: Shiloh.

Shiloh: Yes mother?

Jade: ….what are you doing?

Shiloh: Getting ready for school well of course? Why do you ask?

Jade: Why are you talking like that?

Shiloh: (shocked emoticon) Like what mommy?

Jade: Like that.

Shiloh: What ever do you mean?

Jade: What the hell is wrong with you?

Shiloh: Oh just getting ready for school. I feel fine.

Jade: Shiloh this has to stop.

Shiloh: I don't understand?

Jade: Who are you?

Shiloh: Shilene (shy-lean)

Jade: Whatt?

Shiloh: I'm Shilene.

Jade: Who the hell is Shilene?

Shiloh: Me silly.

Jade: Have you gone crazy?

Shiloh: (laughing emoticon) No, not the least bit.

Jade: I'll be home in the minute.

Shiloh: Great. I'll see you then. (winking emoticon)

[Bailey's POV]

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP

I reached over and gently pushed the button on my alarm clock to turn it off. I sat up as I gave a stretch and a long yawn with a rub of my eyes.

I slid out of my bed before I made my way to my window to get a peak of the early morning sun. I love mornings unlike a lot of people. Watching the sunrise is something that I do sometimes since my window is in the perfect spot for it. It's just so beautiful.

New Text Message

Sender: Tori

Tori: Bailey you awake?

Bailey: Yes. Good Morning

Tori: Good morning, hey I have a quick question?

Bailey: Yes?

Tori: At school, does Shiloh…act any different?

Bailey: Yes.

Tori: Like how?

Bailey: Well, she doesn't act different, but she doesn't really hang with us anymore. She hangs with those other people; I don't even know their names. She acts like we don't exist almost.

Tori: Ok thanks. Have a good day today okay.

Bailey: Hey Tori?

Tori: Yes?

Bailey: Thanks.

Tori: For what?

Bailey: For being you. (smiling emoticon)

Tori: Lol, not positive what that means, but okay thanks & thanks for being you.

Bailey: (smiling emoticon)

Tori: Get ready for school, don't be late. We'll talk later.

Bailey: Will do.

After I was dressed and ready for school I walked to the kitchen where my mom was bent over the counter top reading something off of her computer before she slammed it shut.

"Uh, hi Bailey." She stated suspiciously.

I titled my head. "What were you doing?"

She shook her head. "Nothing. You hungry? There's some cereal up there. We have milk in the fridge. I'm about to head out. I'll see you at school." She stated as she talked at full speed.

"…uhhh okay."

She grabbed her laptop and walked passed me into the dining room before she sat it down.

"Hey Bailey can I have a hug?"

How random…

"Umm sure?"

She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me tight as she ran her hand threw my hair awkwardly.

"Okayyy what are you doing?" I said as I pulled back.

She looked down at her hand as if she lost something.

"I…uh…your hair…is uh…messed up. Let me fix it."

She instantly ran her hand threw my hair again and yanked it once she got to the end causing slight pain.

"Ow! Mom!" I yelled putting my hand to my head.

She put her hands behind her back. "Oh..sorry. It's fixed now." She turned and picked up her laptop before she sped walked to her room to come back out seconds later with her jacket and keys.

"I'll see you soon." With that she was out of the door.

What the hell was that all about?

[Jade's POV]

"Hey baby." Tori greeted as I walked in the front door.

I took my jacket off before I grabbed her into a quick hug. "Where's Shiloh?"

"In her room."

"I'll be right back." I said as I turned for the stairs but Tori held onto my arm causing me to bounce back to her.

"What?" I asked.

She looked me in my eyes before she gave a small smile. Her lips met mine softly before pulling away.

"Good Morning Jade." She said slowly.

I smiled. "Sorry. Good morning Tori." I gave her a kiss on her face beside her nose. "Did you have a good night?"

She shook her head. "Never without you."

I smirked. "Well isn't that sweet. Not to be rude Tori, I'd love to stay here all morning and sweet talk you, but I need to see what the hell is going on in our daughter's head right now."

She pulled back softly. "Go right ahead."

"Love you." I stated as I turned towards the stairs tripping on my way up.

I heard a chuckle come from Tori.

"There will be payback for laughing."

"Can't wait." Tori yelled after me.

I turned the door knob of Shiloh's room which was locked.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

"Shiloh open up!"

"What!?

"Don't what me! Open the damn door!"

"What's the magic word?"

"NOW!" I screamed.

I watched as the door flung open as Shiloh stood with her arms crossed and a mug on her face.

"You better clear your face and you better clear it now." I stated through gritted teeth.

Her mug turned into a straight face.

I walked into her room closing the door behind me as I pushed her out of my way.

"Shiloh what the hell is going on with you!?"

She turned away from me in which I grabbed her face and turned it back.

"Shiloh what the hell!? Why are you doing the things you do!? Who is?" I said gesturing to the person that stood in front of me with all black fucking everything. This isn't Shiloh.

"This is the new me, like it or you don't."

"Who the hell is Shilene?"

"The nice girl."

"What?"

"The nice girl." She state again.

"What do you mean the nice girl?" I crossed my arms.

"The nice girl that lives in me."

I stared at her like she was crazy for a minute. "Like an alter-ego or something?"

She shrugged. "You can say that."

"Then who is this I'm looking at?"

"Shantell." (shan-tell)

"So why do you answer to Shiloh?"

"Because you didn't know me at first…now you do." She smiled.

I put my hand up as the other one covered my face. This isn't happening….

"Shiloh. Stop. Just stop. What the hell? Just…what the hell?"

"It's Shantell."

"Alright Shantell, where's Shiloh?" I decided to play her little game.

"Not around."

"Where is she?"

She shrugged. "Don't know."

"Can you find her?"

"Probably not."

"Why?"

"She might be dead."

It was silent for a minute before I grabbed her hands.

"Shiloh, I know losing Sunshine was-"

She snatched her hands from mine. "Who the hell is Sunshine!?"

My eyes got wide.

"Shiloh-"

"-My name is Shantell! I don't know any Sunshine's…is that even a nameee? Sounds stupid."

"Sh-"

"-I'm late for school. Bye."

With that she pushed passed me and into the hall.

"Wait!" I called after her but she was already down the stairs and heading out of the door. I cursed myself for forgetting to take her keys from her.

"What's going on?" Tori asked as she walked to the stairs.

"I really don't know Tori…."

I really don't know.

I think Shiloh is going a bit crazy...what do y'all think?
