Tori's House, Sunday Late-Afternoonn
Tori's POV:
I heard my mom talking downstairs, but I wasn't sure who she was talking to. My father went out on a case earlier and wouldn't be home earlier and my sister was still on her Bahama trip, so who could it be?
Hesitantly, I began to walk downstairs to see who was at the door.
"...no, she has pnuemonia and the stomach flu."
I instantly knew who she was talking to. It was my group of friends and they were trying to find out more information about me. My heart fluttered considering that my friends cared that much. For the five minutes they were there, I heard Beck talk the most in the "fight" with my mom.
Awww. He does care, I thought elatedly. After another two minutes, my mother closed the door. I stood behind her with my hands on my hips.
"Mom? What was that?" I asked my mother calmly.
She gave me a pouting face, "Your friends came by to see you and make sure that you were okay."
"Awww. I miss them. I wish I could've seen them," I told her sadly.
She put her hand on my right shoulder and then responded, "I know, but you can't.
I frowned and then went over to my laptop to see if anyone else wrote anything on my Slap page. Happily, I recieved a comment from Beck that said:
Beck: I just heard you were sick. Not sure if you're reading this, but I really hope you feel better! xoxo, Beck
Being a teenage girl, I was extremely happy that he cared enough to come visit me and write more to me, but I was distraught that I couldn't write back
That's so sweet, I thought.
"Wait, mom?" I yelled from the living room.
"Yeah Tor?"
"What did you say to them? Like, what'd they ask?" I questioned her.
"They basically asked where you were, why you haven't spoke to them, where your phone was, were you alive, were you sick, what do you have, and if you're coming back to school soon," she told me calmly.
"And how did you respond?"
"I told them you were sleeping, you had pnuemonia and the stomach flu, you had exhaustion, the doctor told you to stay in bed all week, you've been to tired and too sick to go out, and that you would be back in school on Monday," she responded.
"Okay! Thanks mom," I told her, "What time is it?"
She looked at her watch before responding, "About 6:30. Why?"
"Oh, I am so tired today. I need to go to bed. Did I have dinner?" I asked.
My mom laughed, "Yeah, why?"
"I'm so forgetful, so I didn't know. I think I have to go to bed because I am so tired," I told her as I started rubbing my temples.
"Okay. You should go to bed because you have a big day tomorrow."
"I know. Goodnight mom," I said before kissing her on the cheek and walking upstairs to go to bed.
Beck's RV, Sunday Night
Beck's POV:
Everyone left my RV quietly after we visited Tori. We were all a bit distraught considering it sounded like Tori had a rough break. When I went into my RV, I logged onto the Slap and sent Tori a kind message to show her that I cared.
I wonder how Tori got so sick? I guess that's why they sent Trina away and I guess the appointment Friday was for that. Poor, poor Tori, I thought desperately.
All I thought about was how Tori would be tomorrow. I was happy that she would come back to school tomorrow because I would get a chance to talk to her.
I hope that she is perfectly okay tomorrow, I thought when I went to bed.
Tori's House, Monday Morning
Tori's POV:
I went to bed last night perfectly fine and normal as I usually would, but the next morning I woke up with butterflies in my stomach and started freaking out. I was mentally freaking out because I didn't realize the day was coming so fast.
What would my friends say? I thought to myself dizzily.
I wasn't prepared to handle the rejection and hatred that could probably happen. Quickly, I ran over to my closet to look for a tank top as Dale told me to wear for the first day. I pulled out a neon pink and white tank tops, so I could layer them. Since it was mid-Feburary, I pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans and neon pink conversation. Before I could put on the tank tops, I had to get what I know called the balloon pregnancy thing. I wrapped it around my waist and pressed four months as I slowly blowed up. Slowly, I pulled the snow white tank top on myself and then the neon pink tank top.
Wow, I look legitly pregnant, I thought as I observed my new found apperance in the mirror. If I had been walking on the street and not known myself, I would definetly think that I was pregnant.
I added some extra jewlery and then grabbed a midnight black sweatshirt before zipping it up because I didn't just want to come out as pregnant. After, I walked over to my desk and the mirror as I put on the make up. I thought I looked a bit life-less, but that was the main point.
"Tori? You have 2 more minutes before you should get to school," my mom shouted up to me. I responded with an okay before walking down the stairs.
"You look great!" my mom squealed. My heart began beating because I realized that the time was coming.
"Thanks," I said as I bit my lip.
"Let's get in the car."
My heart beat faster.
As we hopped in the car, my mom decided to pitch an idea for me, "Okay, since your four months, usually baby starts kicking around then, so you can pretend it's kicking in the next few weeks."
"Thanks for the advice mom," I said giving a fake smile. I was eternally freaking. I couldn't handle this.
Is it weird to feel like I can't breathe? I thought scaredly.
My heart was pounding, my hands were shaking, my head was dizzy, and I was hoping that I could handle
When we pulled up to Hollywood Arts, I closed my sweatshirt because I wasn't ready to reveal anything yet.
Thank goodness that I picked a baggy sweat shirt, I thought hopefully.
My mom waved goodbye to me and gave me a big smile. I waved back and carefully entered the high school. My mind was in overdrive. It was about 7:10 and school started at 7:30.
The school was very quiet and only a few people were there. My friends were not here yet, so I decided to go to my locker and wander around.
People looked at me strangely because of my make up and it made me look extremely exhausted. People sort of looked at me and when I made eye contact with them, they immediately looked away. When I put it on, it didn't looked like make up. It looked like I was sick and I needed sleep and food.
Hopefully, this will fool everyone. It certainly looks like it so far, I thought.
No one seemed to notice the baby bump, but they certainly noticed the make up. My heart was fiercely beating.
Bump, after bump, after bump.
Rapidly bumping against my chest.
I contemplated screaming, but I resisted. I was just very pesimistic and now I was afraid. Then, I went back and just stood by my lockerz because that is usually where my friends meet me.
I was standing with my head practically shoved into my locker when suddenly I heard Beck, Cat, and Jade standing behind me.
"Tori! You're alive," Cat squealed.
I slowly turned around and then I heard them gasp and Jade hissed, "Wow, you look disgusting Tori. What happened to your face?"
"Jade, she was sick. Lay off," Beck told her angrily. Jade stuck your tongue out and walked away as she pulled Cat away with her.
"Bye Tori! Hope your face feels better," Cat exclaimed.
I quickly put my hand to my face and acted like I was upset and offended, but then Beck began to talk to me, "No, you look pretty! You were sick and it's fantastic to see you alive!"
I smiled before I heard Robbie come over and shout, " I heard that Tori Vega is alive and well!"
"Hi Robbie," I waved semi-cheerfully.
He gasped and pointed at my face, "Did you lose a lot of weight"
I sighed and then replied, "Yeah, I was super sick over break and I just need sleep and more food."
"I was gonna say! You look like a zombie," Robbie told me truthfully.
"Robbie!" Beck hollared.
"I was just saying the truth," he defended.
Beck and I gave him a look, then the bell rang and we were headed off the first period. Yet again, I got odd looks from many people.
"Hello younglings," Sikowitz exclaimed, "Hope you had a fun and legal break!"
"Legal?" Rex asked suspiciously.
"Precisely. Now, Tori, what did you do during Winter Break?" Sikowitz questioned me even though he already knew.
"Oh, I was desperately sick. It was pretty bad," I responded slowly.
He scowled, "I see by the ugliness of you face. What about you Jade?"
"I used scissors and was forced to listen to all of my so called friends talk about where Tori was and how much they missed her," she hissed.
Our group of friends turned around and looked at her and Cat said, "Don't be mean to Tori."
She growled and verbal insulted and snapped at Cat. While everyone was trying to calm her down, I turned around and saw Sikowitz raise his eyebrow at me.
"I will do it," I mouthed to him. He nodded and turned his head back to Jade and Cat's fighting. Everyone had managed to calm her down and Jade was now sitting in her seat glaring at the back of Cat's head.
"Now students, now that that problem is solved, let's begin acting," Sikowitz clapped his hands together, "Tori, Jade, get up here and I will give you a scene to act."
I hesitantly stood up and followed Jade to the front stage of the classroom.
"Okay, so Tori, since you look sick, homeless, and abused, you're going to play the homeless woman. While, Jade is going to be a sympathetic woman who give you a coat," Sikowitz told us. Everyone's mouths opened, but for a totally different reason then why my mouth dropped. Their mouths dropped because they thought it was mean of Sikowitz to insult my face, but my mouth dropped because I realized that this is the revealing point.
I began to stutter, "I-I can't-t."
"Can't what?" he asked as he crossed his arms against his chest.
"Take off my jacket," I responded quickly as I threw my arms up in the air.
"Why not Miss Vega?"
"You know why!" I yelled back as my blood boiled. I didn't want to do this anymore. My heart was pounding.
I don't want to be rejected, I thought nerously.
"Yes I do, but you need to tell everyone else eventually!" he exclaimed back as he motioned to everyone else sitting in the class.
"I can't do this," I shouted almost crying. I was in hyseria, I couldn't handle it. The class probably thought that I was losing it for having a random break down in the middle of class, but once they found out the reason, they would understand why.
There was so much tension in the room that you could cut it with a scissor, I thought.
"Give me the jacket," Jade yelled as she pulled the zipper down and ripped it off of me. I heard everyone gasp, including Jade and Sikowitz, and I looked up to everyone's glares and shocked faces staring back at me.
Quickly, I ran out of the classroom and into the janitor's closet. As soon as I got there I locked the door and turned off the lights as I bawled my eyes out quietly.
"Why did I do this?" I asked myself, but I knew that I couldn't give up. I kept crying quietly because I didn't anyone to find me. Then, I covered myself with a garbage bag.
Suddenly, I realized that I was being watch. There were cameras everywhere as Dale said there would be. Everyone was watching my live reality show and they were the only ones who knew it was fake.
I wonder what Dale is thinking, I thought sadly.
"Why did I run out so fast?" I questioned myself as I kept bawling my eyes out.
My heart answered by saying, "You didn't want to be rejected and insulted."
My heart was being squeezed in my chest, my eyes were blurry, my throat felt as though it was closing up, and I wanted to die. I knew that I couldn't leave early from school, so I just sat in the closet until I decided what to do.
All you can do now is hope because there is going to be a lot of tension coming at you, I told myself as I kept crying my eyes out.
