Chapter 51-One Thousand Berry Balls

Tori's Point of View


So I needed a job, it wasn't about the money, not so much, money had never really been a problem in our house even more so with an extra mouth to feed and my medical bills and the like. However there was a part of me what with senior year coming up that wanted to stand on my own two feet, I would be going to college soon as well and there were decisions that would have to be made. And to make those decisions I would have to have money. Therefore I needed money and to gain money I needed a job.

So I took a job at the mall selling frozen yoghurt, this included looking ridiculous in a costume and giving away free samples of Berry Balls which were as disgusting as they looked and believe me they looked quite unappetizing. The entire day was spent trying to sell what seemed like the unsellable and the day was ruined from the beginning because I had a performance that was worth a great deal of my Musical Theatre grade and no way of leaving unless all of the yoghurt balls were gone.

I had left Andre to pick up Ayden from the house and come to see me at the end of my shift. I wanted nothing more to do but go home put my son to bed and sink into a hot soapy bath preferably with Andre in it but the dance was still on and I still had to make an appearance regardless of what I felt or wanted to do. This was the life I had chosen when I had decided to go to Hollywood Arts in the first place. This was the life I had wanted for a very long time. The show always had to go on.

It was easy enough to stay in secret and be with Andre, stolen moments, cheap hotel rooms, (again another reason why I needed money) and warm kisses, the only problem was, was that the need for Andre was becoming more and more difficult for me to hide. There were moments that I wanted nothing more to do but to throw caution to the wind and tell the world what was happening between us. I doubted that it would make a different, at night this was what I spent most of my time thinking about. The people that I loved, their opinions on another relationship I was in. I was insecure yes, not just about myself but about what other people thought of me.

Jade and Beck they wouldn't care, they had a relationship that made what I had look normal. They were like wildfire and dangerously burning out of control, but you wanted them to be together no matter what because the alternative was so much worse than you could ever believe.

There was Robbie, I doubted that he was able to cast judgements on me, I didn't like to admit it but I thought that Robbie might even be a little bit jealous. Not of me you understand but of the relationships that he was surrounded by. He was lonely I knew that and so on the fringes of even a school like Hollywood Arts that even he was struggling. In truth Rex didn't help.

Cat was the one person that I didn't worry about. Cat was so in her own world that she didn't care that much. She was innocent and pretty and a bubble of happiness that was never popped. Could never be popped really, there could be a natural disaster and the world could overturn and Cat would still be Cat Valentine at the end of the day.

Trina was, my sister, despite everything we did love each other. There were moments where we both felt like we hated each other but there were also moments, many of them in fact where we both loved each other more than anything, it had been Trina that I had missed the most when I had run away and I knew the feeling was returned. She had done things I knew behind the scenes that I would have never asked and probably would never know 'officially'. If I was to tell my sister about Andre she would probably just roll her eyes at me and tell me that she had figured it out months before and I would be left guessing whether or not she did for months. Either way I knew they wouldn't mind, my friends and my sister.

My parents were a little more complicated but they knew Andre in a way that they had never known Cameron, either way though I imagined that they would struggle with the knowledge that I was moving on when my last relationship had led to…well…Ayden. That being said as I was working I tried to imagine a life with Andre and Ayden out in the open as if nothing was wrong.

It wasn't a bad picture. It was not a bad picture at all.

Andre came in at the tail end of my shift carrying Ayden who babbled the little words that he had been forming (and much to my delight Mamma was one of them) and as I took him onto my hip, his hands found my hair like they usually did and only then did I look up.

Andre had this strange expression on his face as if he was trying to figure out how to tell me something but he wasn't sure if he should. I looked around but thankfully the mall was emptying and there wasn't anyone looking at us. "Something wrong?" I asked and he shook his head finally. "Come on" he said "Let's get to school and get changed, we don't perform for another hour and Trina should be done by then, she can take him home"

I nodded and left the mall.


Andre's Point of View

Trina had just shot of to the dance and I was following. She was going for an hour and then had agreed to look after Ayden while Tori had her hour, for a school dance it was only one for two hours but I knew some of the seniors were on for an after party afterwards. The dance was really more of a concert and while most students stayed to see other students performances most did go home especially with Tuesday being deadline day for some of the more academic subjects that we did.

It was then that it happened.

I had been babysitting Ayden for the better part of an hour and sorting through the sheet music for our song while I was at it when I heard it.

"Da"

I looked up thinking that Ayden had just made another noise but I found he was clinging to the table on both legs with a look of determination and then began walking with all the gracefulness of a toddler towards me.

Instinct made me hold out my hands for him to fall in them more than anything but before I could congratulate him on his rather impressive job he looked straight up at me with that face that was eerily similar to his mothers and then said again "Da"

And then it clicked.

Oh fuck.

He was calling me Dad.

Now don't get me wrong I had wanted this, nobody knew how much I had wanted this but to hear it…and I had no idea of how Tori would feel about it either, whether or not she was prepared for her son to see me like that, whether or not she wanted him to see me like that.

I bit my lip. It didn't matter what I privately felt or wished. I had to speak to Tori as soon as I could. I wanted Ayden, I wanted her and I wanted this relationship of ours out of the shadows where I could show everyone the incredible woman that I had got.

It was with that in mind that I took Ayden to the mall to see her but she looked at me with such a simple look of happiness and exhaustion that came from working that I didn't have the heart to tell her what had just happened.

But one thing was certain, we would have to talk and knowing the fact that Ayden had no filter whatsoever, it would have to be soon.


And let me know what you think.

I will try and update as soon as I can.
