Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own characters.
Victoria sat in her room after work listening to her Lindsay Lohan CD and singing along, quietly. A knock came on her door, "Come in," "Hey Tori," Tori looked up seeing Jocelyn's boyfriend, Brian, standing there, "BRIAN!" She squealed jumping up and flinging her arms around him, Brian fell over, laughing, as he hugged her back. Jocelyn walked in rolling her eyes as Tori let go, then Marissa walked in, "Hey Marissa!" Tori said as Marissa smiled and waved, "You know my sister?" Brian asked raising an eyebrow, "She's your sister?" She asked raising an eyebrow, "Yeah, she is, she told me you had a smooch with Marco DelRossi." Brian said smirking as Tori blushed, Marissa and Jocelyn giggled. After awhile Brian and Jocelyn left Marissa and Tori alone to do their homework as they went into Jocelyn's room. Tori was working on her English homework as Marissa worked on her math homework, "So, Tori, what's with you and Marco?" Marissa asked seeing Tori blush, "What about us? We're just friends," "Ah, I see, so that kiss was just a 'friendly' thing for you to do to him?" Marissa asked smiling at her. Tori went even redder and pulled her hood over her head to hide her face, Marissa laughed, "Hey, its okay if you like him! I mean, he is good looking, but he's not exactly, um, well, straight." Marissa said as Tori sighed, "Yeah, I know, my sister called him a faggot this morning," "Oh really? Well, isn't that nice of her!" Marissa said rolling her eyes as Tori laughed.
Marissa and Tori finished their homework by six o' clock then went downstairs to get a snack, "Um, wow, your parents are, uh…" "Drunkards?" Tori asked raising an eyebrow, "Yeah, I know." She said bringing the knife down the frozen Snickers bar, hard, "Well, I wasn't going to say THAT exactly, but, um, well, yeah, they are." Marissa said as Tori bit down on the Snickers bar she looked outside to see rain falling. Normally she'd be outside in the rain, jumping in puddles, or just walking, but today was different, "Hey Marissa," "Hm?" "What's with you and Cass?" Marissa nearly spat out her drink, "What about me and Cass?" She asked smirking, then giggled slightly, "We're just friends, that's all, been best friends since we were little kids. Why do you ask?" Tori shrugged, "I don't know, Cass just seems, well, to be checking you out a little? I don't know." Marissa raised an eyebrow at Tori, "Cass? Oh, yeah, Cass is Bisexual. Her last boyfriend kind of…well…I don't know how to EXACTLY say it, but he did something bad."
A shudder went down Tori's spine, she knew exactly what Marissa meant. Tori didn't ever want to relive what happened to her with her ex-boyfriend, kind of what happened to her in the hall with Jay, not exactly, but pretty fucking close. The two girls hung around for awhile when there was a knock on the door, Tori went to the door and answered, "Oh…hey, Marco," she said feeling herself blush, against her will, "Hey Tori, um, can I crash here for the night?" He asked as Marissa smirked, Tori glared at her, "Yeah, sure, my parents won't care, really." Tori said letting him in. Marissa giggled and Tori threw a slipper at her head, "So, Marco, do you want anything?" Tori asked going to the fridge as Marissa made a kiss face behind Marco's head, so only Tori could see, Tori grabbed a wooden spoon and threw it at her, "OW!" Marissa cried out as Tori smirked, "Uh, no thanks, I already ate." Marco said as Jocelyn and Brian came downstairs, "Marco!" Jocelyn said blinking, "Um…Tori didn't tell me you were coming over." "He's staying here the night. Is that okay?" Tori asked as Jocelyn looked at Tori, then Marco, and said "Yeah that's fine." Jocelyn gave her sister a questionable look as Tori shook her head, "C'mon, I'll bring you up to my room, I'll see you tomorrow Marissa." Tori said as Marissa nodded, "Later Tori, later Marco." "See yeah Marissa." Marco said as him and Tori went upstairs.
Tori pulled her covers back and crawled underneath as Marco set up his sleeping bag, "You're going to bed? It's only eight o' clock!" Marco said as Tori sat up, "Nah, I just do this when I have friends over, I normally fall asleep early when their here," Marco chuckled, "Saying their boring are you Victoria?" Tori laughed, "You could say that, but," Tori said crawling to the edge of her bed, inches away from Marco's face, "your not." She said as Marco blinked then moved foreword as Tori felt her lips part and she leant foreword, and then the door opened making Marco turn, and Tori fall out of her bed, flat on her face. Tori scrambled to her feet, looking around, like she hadn't just fallen off of her bed, Marissa stood there smirking, "Sorry, did I interrupt something?" "NO!" both said at the same time, and then looked at each other, Marissa laughed, "Okay then. I forgot my English book," she said grabbing it off of Tori's nightstand, "I'll see you two tomorrow." Marissa said walking out, closed the door, and then started laughing. Tori got back on her bed, sat on the end cross legged, as Marco laid on his back so his head was near her feet, "So, are you ever going to tell me what happened with you and Spinner?" Marco asked, as Tori bit her lip, "No, I'm not telling anyone," Tori said laying down on her back on her bed, "Tori, come on, how can you not tell your best friend?" Marco asked sitting up and looking at her, "Marco, I…all I can say is, I was stupid, that's all. Since Cass is Spinner's sister why don't you ask her?" Tori asked as Marco rose an eyebrow at her, "Ask Cass? Are you kidding me? That girl doesn't tell shit! Well, unless its about her, sometimes Spin, but not all the time. Tori, come on, please?" Tori sighed as she looked at Marco. She wanted to trust him, but, something told her that she couldn't, no; she wouldn't trust Marco, even though he was her best friend since she went to Degrassi. Marco looked at her as she sighed, "Marco, I really don't want to," she said as Marco put his hand on her leg, "it's alright, I understand," Marco said moving his hand up, she jerked her leg away, "Don't, please," Tori said hugging her knees, Spin, what did you do to her? Marco asked himself as he got on the bed, Tori seemed to cringe away, "Tori, I'm not going to hurt you, I swear, I'm your best friend." Marco said putting a hand on her arm. Tori looked at him with tears in her eyes, Marco frowned then removed his hand, then went to go back on the floor when Tori suddenly flew at him, tackling him onto the bed, Tori cried on his shoulder as he put a hand on her back, and began to rub her back, comfortingly, he felt her shudder when he got to her lower back, so he kept rubbing her upper back.
She stopped crying after awhile and looked at Marco with her teary blue eyes, "Tori, it's okay, it really is, I'm here," he said as she hugged him again, he held her tightly, and then the door opened again, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" both jumped then turned seeing Cass and Marissa standing there, "YOU SLUT!" Cass snapped at Tori, "What's going on?" Marco asked as he looked at Tori then at Cass, "She's still going out with Spin! You didn't know that!" Marco went wide-eyed then looked at Tori, "You are?" "NO! I never said I'd go back out with him! WHAT HAS HE TOLD YOU?" Tori yelled at Cass as the shorter girl glared at her, "HE TOLD ME YOU TWO WERE STILL GOING OUT!" "THE HELL WE ARE! WHERE WAS HE WHEN JAY TRIED TO FUCKING HURT ME AND MY SISTER!" Marissa and Marco went to grab their respective friends, seeing as they were inches away from each other at this point, "HE WAS AT WORK!" "THE FUCK HE WAS! HE WAS TEN MINUTES LATE! SO HA! HE WAS PROBABLY MAKING OUT WITH DARCY!" Tori yelled as Marco grabbed Tori's coat and his own, "HE DOESN'T LIKE DARCY!" "YOUR IN DENIAL! DENIAL! YOU ONLY WANTED ME AROUND CUZ THIS IS WHAT WE DID FOR THE TWO MONTHS HIM AND I WHERE TOGETHER AFTER HIM AND PAIGE BROKE UP!" Tori yelled at Cass as she ripped her jacket away from Marco then stormed downstairs, Cass, Marissa, and Marco on her tail.
Marissa grabbed Cass's arm and dragged her back to her house as Marco and Tori kept walking. Tori was fuming at this point, "I can't believe him! After what he did to me! He thinks I'll get back with him! HA!" Tori said kicking a rock into a puddle, "Tori, calm down, come on, we'll go somewhere, I don't know where, but somewhere." Marco said taking the lead as they got to the park and sat under a tree, Tori hugged her knees again and held them close to her body, "I never want to talk to him again," Tori said as Marco sighed, "I personally wouldn't want to talk to him ever again, but seeing as I'm not you or Jimmy, I don't think I have a reason," Marco said as Tori snorted, Marco looked at her as she looked at him the same time, Tori moved closer to Marco as he put an arm around her shoulders, "Marco," "Yeah?" "Did Emma tell you I was in the bathroom the day Jocelyn was bothering me and you?" "Yeah, she did, that's why I asked what was wrong. She told me you had done something to your wrists." Marco said as Tori sighed, resting her head on his shoulder, "Marco, my life is so miserable right now, my parents don't care about me, my sister doesn't, but she's gotten better, after Spin, I don't know about guys anymore." Tori said as Marco looked at her, she turned her head to look at him, and then looked around to see if they'd be caught, again, then she leant foreword as Marco leant foreword then they finally kissed.
They broke as Tori blinked, stood, then put the hood of her sweater up, "Shouldn't of done that," she whispered as Marco looked at her, "come on, let's get going home." Marco stood and began following her as she kept her head down as they walked back to Tori's house. Tori and Marco went upstairs almost immediately as Tori closed the door behind her she pulled out her PJs and took her clothes off, not knowing that Marco was watching her, when Tori went to put her shirt on, she felt someone grab her from behind her, their hands on her waist, and their breath on her neck. A full body shudder shook her as she turned around to see Marco standing there, looking at her, but from the other side of the room, "You alright? You just totally did a full body shake," He said raising an eyebrow at her, "Yeah, I'm fine," Tori said looking back at the mirror then slipped her shirt on then crawled back into bed. She looked at the clock, it was 10:30, how long had her and Marco been gone for? Tori settled into the covers, put her head on her pillow, and then fell asleep. As she slept she felt someone get on the bed with her, her eyes opened slightly as her heart raced in her chest, she wasn't going to turn to face the person, she knew she'd be waking up at eight o' clock and it'd be Saturday and she'd be at the movies with Marissa, Marco, Jimmy, and Craig. Tori closed her eyes tightly as she felt an arm go around her waist and she felt lips move against her neck, "No, stop." She whispered as she felt the lips land against her neck, her eyes flew open as she sat up, she looked around her room seeing Marco sleeping in his sleeping bag, then she looked next to her seeing her cat curled up on the pillow, purring, Relax Tori. It was just a dream, no, not a dream, a reality, turned horribly wrong. But why the hell am I still thinking about it? Tori shook her head as she looked at the clock and the red numbers flashed 8:30 at her, "Ah! Marco! Wake up! We're going to be there late!" Tori said throwing her pillow at Marco's head as he groaned, Tori ran out the door, turned down the hall and went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, grabbed her toothbrush and ran into her room brushing her teeth and holding her towel around her.
Tori started pulling a black and white Roxy sweater out, jeans, her fuzzy black socks, her Etnies, and everything else to see Marco still asleep. She groaned going over to him and jumped onto his stomach, "Wake up! We have to be at the movies at ten!" Tori said tightening her grip on her towel, "What time is it?" Marco asked groggily, "9:30!" Tori said as Marco sprung up and ran to the bathroom. Tori quickly pulled her clothes on as Marco came in, fully dressed, and his hair was down, still dripping wet as he dried his hair with his towel then pulled it back, "Let's go!" Tori said grabbing the keys to her car as she opened the garage to reveal a silver Scion TC that hardly looked like it had been driven, "Is that your car?" "Yeah, it is, Jocelyn's car is the Escalade." Tori said jumping into the driver's side as Marco got into the passenger's side then they both drove to the movies.
When they got there they saw Cass sitting on the hood of her car, Jimmy was next to it in his wheelchair, Craig was leaning next on the car, and Marissa was sitting on the sidewalk. Tori and Marco pulled up and got out of the car, "Sorry! We…Cass what are you doing here?" Tori asked raising an eyebrow as Cass glared at her, "I work here…" she said as Marissa rolled her eyes, "Not now your not, she was giving me a ride, Cass, go home." Cass rolled her eyes and got off of the hood and walked past Tori and looked down at her jeans, sticking her hand down the front, grabbing the band and pulling Tori close, "Nice jeans, they look familiar, steal them?" Cass asked letting go as Tori looked at her then at her shirt, "Nice shirt, steal it?" Tori asked as Cass glared at her. Cass got into her car and drove off as the other five went into the theater.
HL: okay the next chapter. I hope everyone had a good Christmas or good holiday! I'll explain the relationship between Cass & Tori later on, and it's not about Spinner either
