Tori has been feeling kinda down lately. Remembering all the times she's had with her biological father. Going out to lunch. Going out to dinner and a movie. Him picking up Tori from school early to celebrate her birthday.
All the phone calls they made to each other and laughing for hours. Text messages with each other and their own jokes, their own inside jokes.
All the times he's bullied Tori. Times where he threatened to fight her or hit her.
She knew. She knew that she and her mom had to get away from him. They both knew that he had a bad temper. He still does.
But deep down both Holly and Tori knew that they'd be better off without him.
When he left Tori he never called for her birthday. Never showed up to both graduations. Said he'd give her presents for Christmas but never did.
But somehow Tori still loves her biological father. Jason is his name.
Jason by definition is a dead beat dad. A no good dad. And as Tori got older she started to realize that Jason is no good. That someday she'd be a better parent than him. She'd be what he never was and never could be.
And when she cries about him Tori can count on Jade to be there for her. Through anything.
Yeah. Tori still misses Jason. But Tori also knows it's time to let go of him and to carry on.
Sure, Jason may not even care about his own daughter anymore. Hell he might not even give a damn. Tori doesnt want revenge. She has no hate in her heart and resentment towards him. She just wants him to be a better person.
"Carry on, Jason". Said Tori. She deleted his number on her phone and blocked his number. "May you get the help you need". She said to herself.
Jade held her tight. "Im proud of you baby. Very proud". Said Jade. "You're the strongest person I know. You have a good heart. Never change for anyone".
Tori put her head on Jade's chest. "Thank you. And for keeping me safe".
Jade smiled. "I'll always keep you safe. Trust me babe. You're gonna be an amazing parent someday".
Tori smiled.
