Finally a new chapter...
Summary: Tori has a terrible accident and she starts to see weird things. Nobody believes her and she thinks that she has gone crazy. Is she right?
"Well it might kind of sound strange and you will probably not believe me if I tell the truth, so should I tell a lie instead? I'll get grounded for like two weeks and everything will be okay. I think that is a pretty good idea. So yell at me and I can go to my bed." I started to walk towards the stairs in the hope that this attempt of escaping the truth had worked, but unfortunately I wasn't that lucky.
"No way, young lady. You are going to sit down and tell the truth to us now. No lies!" My dad said with a very angry tone.
I gulped before walking towards the couch. I sat down and my parents did too. They looked at me. I really didn't want to tell this.
"See when I got hit by that car, it also had some side-affects. You remember that child Chris. It wasn't some hallucination. I actually saw him. I see ghosts and I know that might seem really weird, but I really see them. Cat and Beck went with me and they have proof. I swear that I am not some crazy lunatic. I really do see them. So... that's about it." I said. I closed my eyes to avoid the sight of my parents.
"Tor, that is..." My father didn't come any further. He was too in shock. He probably thought that had a lunatic as daughter. No dad would be happy with that.
"So, Tori, if this is true, why did you leave school?" My mom asked. She didn't believe me.
"Because of James F. Parkerson. He was keeping souls from the light, so he wouldn't be eaten by the sinisters and those ghosts would get eaten instead. I was there to save them, because Chris told me that he would be at San Jose and I could stop him there. I nearly got killed, but Beck saved me so I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." I added with a smile.
They looked at me with confusion. I must have sounded like some crazy nut.
"Dad, you remember that time when I nearly got killed by David?" I asked my dad.
"Yes, the only reason that I was on time was because I found all those papers about David. It was kind of strange. One second there were no papers on the table and the other second it was full with papers about this creep." My dad told me. I could see that realization hit him.
"Chris helped me. I was in a lot of trouble. Chris managed to give those papers to you while Kelly distracted David. She was playing with his gun and stuff. It was actually pretty funny to watch. Dad and mom, please don't think that I'm some kind of weirdo. I'm still Tori Vega. I just see ghosts now. Could you at least try to believe me? And If you don't, well then you won't. Just accept me for me, okay? Beck and Cat do." I looked at my parents with a pleading look on my face.
My mom let out a sigh. "I'll try, but it won't be easy. I'll make up some excuse why you left school. Just don't do that anytime soon, okay? You really scared us."
"I won't. I promise... Can I sleep now? I'm pretty tired." I said with a yawn to emphasize my point. My parents nodded and I walked to my room. I quickly put on my pj's and fell asleep in no time.
The next day at school everything was normal except my secret was out now. I had Beck and Cat. They really believed me. André and Robbie avoided me. They probably thought that I was still some weirdo, but somehow I managed to be okay with that.
It was lunch. I was eating my salad just like usual. Trina sat down next to me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"I just wanted to say that I'll help you with that ghost thing of yours. I know that I'm not the greatest sister of all time, but this seems important and now I'm not the only wacko around." Trina joked.
"Thanks for making me feel better." I half joked and half meant.
"You're welcome." She said and she gave me a hug. She hopped away. This ghost thing actually had some advantages. Trina was normal to me and she was actually being nice for once. Maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
"Wow, she was nice and not self-centered for once." Beck said with surprise evident in his voice.
"Yeah, this is new for me too. Since that accident, a lot of weird things have been happening. I guess this change of things is good for now. Trina is nice, you're my boyfriend now, André and Robbie think that I'm some weirdo, I met Chris, and Cat is still Cat." I summarized everything what happened since that accident.
Beck agreed. "Yep, and Jade is still Jade." He added. I haven't spoken to her in a very long time. I stole her boyfriend and basically all of her friends. She must really hate me.
"Have you spoken to Jade at all lately?" I asked.
"Not really, I have seen her at school but I haven't actually talked to her. It would probably be really awkward for her to talk to me after I dumped her for you. She really doesn't like you and I kind of took a piece of her pride away. So, I haven't talked to her and I really don't want to." Beck said.
"I understand. For now that's okay. Maybe I'll talk to her, but that's a maybe." I added and with that our conversation ended about Jade. Little did I know that Jade was having some problems that were the exact same as mine.
Sorry it took so long, but I was on vacation and I have been really busy. So yeah... This is the end of this story, but I'll post up a sequel as soon as possible. I'll try to be quick, but I'm really busy so... Hope you liked this story. Sequel will be up soon.
Sequel is called: The Same Gift.
