Hello. See you would've gotten this chapter tomorrow. Except yesterday I fell because I tripped over nothing but air. I am very accident prone. So I couldn't really walk much yesterday so I got a lot done. See. My injuries always have a positive. Well except if I hurt my fingers or hands. Then I won't be able to type, but yeah. Someone was confused as to why Chloe walked into a wall last chapter. She could've been light-headed from kissing our lovely Derek. (I would be too.) Or she could've been Chloe and walked into a wall because she was looking at her feet making sure she didn't trip. Or too tired. Pick one. Although I like the first. This chapter is Tori's Point Of View. My second favourite guy Johnny is seen a lot. Yay! Johnny! Oh I apologize for Johnny's past, but I wasn't going to give him a fairytale upbringing. Also a bit of Tara's point of view.
DISCLAIMER: *I am freaking out because my little sister destroyed my posters and picture*
Me: AH! MY POSTERS! MY PICTURE! NO! *Begins hyperventilating.*
Ricky: Is she going to pass out?
Johnny: Oh shut up. If she passes out I can't date Tori. We have to fix this.
Ricky: Well while we think of something. Jessica does not own Darkest Powers or any characters Kelley Armstrong has created. She just plays with them.
Tori's Point Of View
Johnny just had to interrupt that moment between Derek and Chloe didn't he? The crazy idiot. You like him…I do not. Yes you do…Will you shut up? HEY! Do you think being your inner voice is easy? NO it isn't so you quit being in denial then I wouldn't be working overtime.
That was strange. Well we get to go shopping tomorrow. That was the one good thing about all of this. I was still angry though. Everybody was just always concerned about Chloe. The sweet blonde always gets the attention. I could disappear and nobody would care. I wasn't jealous that her aunt died. In fact I hated it, but everyone is there for her.
My mom was still working with the Edison Group and I had no clue how things were with my dad. I couldn't talk to anybody. Nobody wanted to listen. Everybody wanted to help Chloe.
"You know if you get anymore jealous you're going to turn green." Johnny said. Coming to sit down next to me. We were on the couch in the library.
"I'm not jealous." I said.
"Not of what she's going through, but of the attention she's getting."
"No." I said. Damn. How did he know? He's supposed to be the fun loving un-observant joker. Not the observant joker.
"Don't lie. In your defense though nobody ever really gave you any attention before. So of course you'd want some." Johnny said.
"Can you stop the old and wise thing? Please?" I asked.
"Sure, I have something to show you though. Come for a walk?"
"Not like I have anything better to do."
I followed Johnny outside. After walking ten minutes into the forest, I was seriously wondering where the heck we were going.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see." Johnny replied smiling.
My breathing quickened at his smile. GET A GRIP TORI!
"How much longer?" I asked.
"About a half hour." Johnny said.
"A HALF HOUR!"
"It'll be worth it." Johnny said.
For the next thirty minutes Johnny and I passed the time with me complaining and him just telling me to continue and it'll be fine.
"Okay we're here" Johnny said. Getting through the last of the trees. To wherever.
Once I got through the trees what I saw took my breath away.
We were standing in a clearing that had flowers surrounding it. Every kind possible. Roses, tulips, daisies, lilies, etc. All of the flowers had golden leaves. It wasn't painted gold it was as if they grew that way, and sparkled golden in the sun. Any of the trees surrounding the clearing were apple trees that were blossoming. Pinkish-white flowers. By the edge of the clearing there was a small waterfall leading into a bubbling stream that had blue-green water.
Oh my god. This was amazing.
"How did you do this?" I asked.
"You know Willow? The old earth half-demon. I listened to one of his in-my-day lectures, and got him to do this for you. Do you like it?" Johnny asked.
"Like it? I LOVE IT!" I screamed excitedly.
Johnny just laughed.
I think this had to be the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me. It took listening to Willow for hours. Not just shelling out money that you had in bucketfuls.
Johnny pulled me towards a blanket that was spread out in the middle of the clearing.
"Okay, so I am all ears to listen to you. Vent out everything." Johnny said once we sat down.
"Seriously, has it ever occurred to you we barely know eachother?" I asked.
"Everybody has to start somewhere." Johnny said.
"You want to start with the baggage of the past 16 years of my life?" I asked.
"Better than the baggage of the past 18 years of mine."
"Okay fine. I have a sister named Erica. She's the one in the family everybody loves. My mom adores her more than anything. Anything I ever did she could always do better. Around her I always faded into the background. My mother. She works for the Edison Group and as long as I did everything she wanted me to do she put up with me. My dad I have no idea. We always got along really well, but after what happened when I called him. I have no idea where we stand." I said.
Johnny just nodded. This was the good thing. I didn't want to be judged or told my mother really did love me. I didn't want that and he knew it.
"So what about you?" I asked.
"No other siblings besides Ricky. My father is a sorcerer and my mother is just human. Growing up my mother always walked out for days at a time. Until when we were 12 she walked out and never came back. My dad he never worked for the Edison Group just wanted us to be one of these experiments in hope that we'd adjust better. He always tried to do what was best for us. He usually worked a lot so the old lady next door practically raised us. My father is still in hiding from the Edison Group."
Johnny said the word 'mother' like it was toxic.
By the end of this Johnny looked so sad and hurt. It was a look I didn't want to see him wearing because fun upbeat really sweet Johnny couldn't be sad. I went closer to him and hugged him. He hugged me back.
"She did a really good job." I said.
"Thanks." Johnny said.
After the discussion about our pasts we talked about easier topics. Things that was easy to say. Like favourite books and colours. Movies, clothes, hairstyles. Whatever was easy. After a few hours we headed back inside. I was having a freak out about my mother.
"What if my mother finds me—"
"Tori." Johnny said.
"She really hates me—"
"Tori." Johnny said.
"I'm really horrible to most people, I act like a bitch all the time but—"
"TORI!" Johnny shouted.
"WHAT?" I shouted back.
He kissed me. It was sweet and simple.
"You're not as horrible as you think." Johnny said.
He walked to his room and closed the door.
I felt a smile spread across my face and walked to my room grabbed my clothes and went for a bubble bath. As soon as I was clean and changed I went to sleep.
I woke up feeling great. Johnny. I smiled and got dressed. I went downstairs. Almost everyone was already there. Except Chloe and Willow. Johnny smiled at me.
"Can somebody go get Chloe?" Tara asked.
"I will" I said. Bouncing up the stairs.
"What's wrong with her?" I heard Simon ask then a muffled ow as Johnny threw something at him.
When I got to the room I tried waking Chloe up. No response.
"CHLOE! Get up!"
Nothing.
Shaking her.
Nothing.
I checked and she was still breathing and had a heartbeat. She was just very very lazy apparently.
I walked back downstairs.
"She's asleep. I can't wake her up."
"Well we'll save some food for her." Tara said.
There were some mini conversations going on at breakfast. Willow apparently was eating in his room. I was going to have to thank him for the clearing.
When breakfast was over I went back upstairs to see if Chloe would wake up and to double-check my hair.
My hair was awesome. No surprise. Over-confident Tori. Chloe was just getting up.
"Good morning Chloe!" I said happily.
"Morning. What time is it?" Chloe asked.
"Almost nine-thirty. There's breakfast on the table. It's a little cold. We tried to wake you but you were sleeping like the dead no pun intended." I said.
Chloe looked… scared. So I just decided to leave the room.
"Tori we're leaving soon. Are you ready?" Tara asked.
"Yep." I said.
Tara left to go say something to Chloe.
"So what's going on between you and Johnny?" Simon asked me.
"I'm not sure if there is anything."
"Uh huh there definitely is. Looks passed during breakfast. Your exorcism. It's all the product of nothing going on." Simon said sarcastically.
Simon used sarcasm.
"IT'S A MIRACLE! SIMON USED SARCASM!" I shouted.
Derek looked at me like I was possessed. While Johnny laughed and Ricky clapped.
A/N: Tori is high off Johnny! LOL!
Tara gave Sophie to Derek and went outside. We all followed out shouting byes.
Tara was driving one van. With Kaeden, Johnny, Ricky, Simon, and I going with her.
Andrew was driving the other one. With Willow, Sierra, Anne, and Bailey going with him.
Tara put on some music. Don't trust me by 3oh3 was playing.
"Atleast they beep out the swear word." Tara muttered.
"Songs just get more interesting." Ricky said.
"Speaking of interesting. What's going on between Johnny and Tori?" Simon asked.
I swear I just wanted to dye his annoying blonde hair pink.
"Nothing" Both Johnny and I said at the same time.
Kaeden, Simon, Ricky and Tara looked like they didn't believe us.
We just pointedly turned our heads.
Simon never shut up about it. Until we put on Taylor Swift. He was singing along with Love Story, You Belong with me, Teardrops on my guitar, and White Horse.
By the time we got to the mall we all were thinking that Simon was as straight as a rainbow. What did I ever see in him?
We finally parked.
"So much Taylor Swift." Johnny and Ricky shook their heads.
"SHE IS AWESOME" Simon shouted.
Ricky threw a pencil at his head.
We met up with Andrew and the others a couple minutes later. We had clothes shopping and grocery shopping to do.
We all decided to meet up at the fountain in a few hours. Everyone went their separate ways.
Kaeden went with Tara of course. Shopping passed by fast. Tara got Bailey to check in with Chloe and Derek once. Everybody was fine. Well atleast had no injuries. Not sure how their sanity would fair. I got a lot of new clothes. Tara said this was the one shopping trip we were going to get. So to make it count. Apparently I was using Andrew's money. He told me not to pay him back. He said 'It was the least I could do.' What the heck was that supposed to mean?
When I was finished I went to the fountain. On my way there I noticed that the mall was empty. Not just the regular not busy. Nobody was there. Not even the cashiers. What the hell? People were there five minutes ago. Johnny was at the fountain. Nobody else.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Well our group is somewhere around here. As for every non-supernatural I have no idea, but I don't like it." Johnny said.
"So is this the new boyfriend? A couple years older. Hmm… he seems interesting. Although I have nothing to compare to considering you don't bring any boys home to meet the parents."
Standing right in front of us was my mother. My mother, high heels and all. Oh my freaken God!
"Nice to meet you." Johnny said sarcastically.
My mother's hand glowed green and she created some green orb thing and threw it at me. I put a shield up but it got through it. I glowed green for a second. Ooh pretty colours…
Tara's Point Of View
When I was almost finished my shopping I noticed that people started leaving. It wasn't just one or two people leaving. It was everybody. Some even leaving with unpaid for items. The security guard didn't even care he just left. This wasn't good.
I found Kaeden picked him up and ran to the fountain in time to see Johnny use one hell of a knock back spell on some witch. Seriously she was thrown 10 stores away.
"THAT IS NOT HOW YOU GET IN GOOD WITH THE FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW!" The witch shouted.
Oh so this was Tori's mother. That woman should use a moisturizing conditioner. Her hair is seriously dry. I out her in a binding spell.
When I got to Johnny I noticed Tori was acting like she was two years old.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked.
"She was hit by some green orb thing, I think it went through a shield and ended up changing the original spell. What the hell is going on?" Johnny asked."
"I think the Edison Group found us. We need to find the others. NOW." I said.
"Pretty water…" Tori said, trying to get in the fountain.
Johnny stopped her and picked her up before she could get in. Everyone else came to the fountain now.
"What the hell is going on?" Andrew asked.
"Edison Group." Tori said laughing.
"So we need to get the hell out of here" Bailey said, obviously freaked out by Tori.
We all agreed. We went with the same seating arrangements as before and we all successfully managed to get in the vans without getting hit with anymore spells or captured.
When we were in the car Tori started talking.
"Simon you have a ugly dot on your chin." Tori said.
"What?" Simon asked pulling out a small compact mirror from his pocket. "OH MY GOD I HAVE A ZIT! I AM GETTING A ZIT! "
"You keep a mirror in your pocket?" Johnny asked.
Simon was freaking out. It was a zit for god's sake. How narcissistic is this boy?
"Preeeeety cars! OOH RED CAR RED CAR!" Tori shouted.
Even Sophie didn't act this way. We had to reverse this.
The rest of the car ride passed with Tori's comments and Simon freaking out.
When we got through the door Derek, Chloe, and Sophie came in the room. Atleast they were safe.
"Johnny you're very cute and have amazingly beautiful skin." Tori said. Touching his face.
If she was 2-4 year old Tori in 16 year old Tori's body… Would that make Johnny a pedophile or something? Well he's not going to kiss her now so probably not. Too bad they don't have a legal book for this kind of thing.
"Thanks" Johnny muttered rolling his eyes.
"What the hell happened?" Derek asked.
See I wanted to make her originally happy, but at the same time make her like that. See, run in with Tori's mother. I didn't want a full blown Edison Group meeting, and at the same time I wanted a close call. Don't worry I am not making Simon gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. Nothing is wrong with Taylor Swift either but a guy singing it would be weird. Any thoughts on Johnny? Review. Also review chapter four if you haven't already. I can annoy you. Or make Tori say random crazy review chapter four in the story. Then review this chapter. Pretty please with ice cream and Johnny on top. (He's the guy of the hour here.) Anything that seems out of character let me know, but remember Johnny is wacky he can do anything.
