No one could tell if Tori was getting worse, or passed.

I was visiting her one day, and there was something I had to ask her.

"Tori?"

"Yeah?" Her voice was more steady, less shaky,but it still wasn't the same.

"Why do you keep letting me come. I mean, I was a jerk. No,worse than a jerk!But still, you seem happy whenever I come."

Her eyes said it all, but she explained anyways.

"Andre, no matter how much of a jerk or whatever you were, I know that somehow, what you did wasn't aimed to hurt me. I don't understand why you did it, and I probably never will, but I understand that you love me. And I love you."

"So why'd you put yourself through this?" I asked, gesturing to the many machines hooked up to Tori.

She smiled.

"Guess I realized too late."

It seemed like one of those movie moments where the music starts playing and you know there's a happy ending.

But this wasn't a movie.

In Tori's small smile, I saw the old Tori.

The one who loved life, who'd do anything to make someone else happy.

My world revolved around her smile
