Hey guys! I'm gonna just stop with the excuses as there are really none to give, I lost my passion for writing for a while, but I've been noticing an influx of follows and favourites the past couple of weeks that i just wanted to thank you guys for!
Oh! And just in case you guys didn't notice I have re-uploaded the chapter before this one because, seriously? How TF did you guys even let me get away with that tomfoolery?
With all that being said enjoy the new chapter :)
Tori's POV-
What the fuck was I thinking?! Like what the ACTUAL FUCK?! It's official I am a dead woman, Trina is going to take one look at me this morning and that'll be it, DEAD. I feel my ankle burning from the walk, how did I never know that Beck only lives like a 10 min walk from me? I'll almost definitely be taking advantage of that now that we're- actually what are we? I know that we like each other, we kissed, and I asked him to stay last night and he didn't say no. But we haven't actually talked about sables or anything, I wouldn't even know how to begin that sort of conversation. And am I even ready for something like that with all my shit I have to deal with?
Uhh it's too freaking early for this train of thought especially when I have something a lot more worrying to be focusing on. I finally reach my drive way when I stop to recollect my thoughts on how I'm gonna handle this, sleep over with Cat? No, she'd ask Cat about it and that'll be death for sure, if she doesn't kill me already this morning. I suppose i could say I had a study sleep over with Jade? Trina is kinda terrified of Jade so she's unlikely to ask her if it's the truth, and I know that if I let Jade know then she'll be good for it. It's decided then, I quickly grab out my phone and shoot Jade a quick text 'Hey if Trina asks i was at yours last night for a study sleepover, if you get this message respond with "Hey thanks for staying last night, really needed help with that assignment" I'll explain when I can, thanks Jade :)' I quickly hit send then immediately delete the message so Trina wont see, not 5 seconds later I receive the message from Jade confirming she saw. with my story complete I take a deep breath and walk through the front door.
I am immediately met with an irate Trina sitting on the couch looking just about ready to commit man slaughter, "Where. The. Fuck. Were. You. Last. Night?" I open my mouth to answer when suddenly a blinding pain crosses my face, I blink in shock when I realise that Trina is in my face and that she just landed a punch right on my cheekbone. "I expect an HONEST answer as to your whereabouts." Again a kick to my already bad ankle, which means again I take my weight off of it, I think its really bad this time, not just sprained i think it may be broken too.
"I'm sorry I didn't message, I was at Jade's. She needed help with an assignment, and she's so much better at me in most of my subjects so she helped me out for most of it as well." I hoped that the self deprecating comment was enough to diffuse her, if she thinks that I agree with her mindset of how 'stupid' and 'useless' I am then maybe she wont be so mad and the consequences won't be as drastic. Of course even as I'm saying this Trina looks more and more angry.
"Do you think me stupid girl? You and Jade don't even get along! Hand me your phone, right now!" I hand her my phone with my heart in my throat, I hadn't even thought about Beck! I woke up this morning tangled in Becks arms, I managed to gently pry myself out of his comforting hold without waking him then started my walk back home, I didn't want to take the time to explain why I should have listened to my gut instinct when I woke up the night before, so I didn't tell him I was going. I held my breath as Trina browsed my phone, praying that Beck didn't choose NOW to message me. With a final harrumph from Trina she threw my phone at me, which I just narrowly managed to catch. "Okay, from what I saw your story holds up, but don't think you've gotten off easily. You still didn't tell me where you were going to be." My blood turns into ice as I see her eyes take on an evil glint. I can only stay silent while she thinks up this mornings torture. "You know what? I'll give you your main punishment after school today, part of it will be the fact that you have to sweat over what I'll do. But for now-" The wind is knocked out of me as I feel an intense pain my my chest, after I regain my breath, I realise two things.
One: I was knocked onto the floor.
Two: Trina is holding a fucking baseball bat, and she just hit me in the chest with it.
She then brings it down again onto my bad ankle, making me cry out in pain, and once again onto the side of my head.
And so for the second time in as many hours everything goes black as I pass out.
