TORI"S POV-
"Jesus Trina, what the hell happened to her? She looks like she's about two days from death!" Uhh my head is pounding... What happened? God, I can't think right now I don't have the energy for it. "Sh-She was walking h-home from a study date with her friend *hiccup*
Jade, she must have been ju-jumped just before she made it home. She was unconscious when I found her, is sh-she gonna be okay? Please, auntie Samantha, tell me she's o-okay?" I was jumped? The last thing I remember was leaving Becks to walk home, I suppose that explains why my head hurts so horribly. Why is Trina so worried though, based on what I can feel it's no worse then what Trina has done before. Also why the hell did she call our Aunt Samantha? I've never been so badly hurt that I've needed her medical expertise before. I start to register that on top of my pounding headache a stabbing pain was persisting in my ankle now, why can't they just leave me alone so that I can recover peacefully?
"I just have to check her out once she's woken up Trina, it was a good thing that I dropped in for a surprise visit when I did or she could have ended up a lot worse then what she will now." Ah so that at least explains why she's here, I knew that Trina wouldn't have cared about how I was doing. I start to realise that the only way I'm gonna be left alone would be to open my eyes so that Trina could go to school and Samantha could go back to her normal life. I start to shift around trying to find a more comfortable position for my ankle as now that I am fully awake the slight stabbing pain I was feeling evolved into a much angrier red hot burn, I open my eyes to find my Aunties concerned eyes and my sisters cold and angry ones. I realise that I should probably say something to break the tense quiet that had fallen but at this point, I could care less about the quiet, really I prefer it to whatever it is that is coming next.
"How are you feeling Tori? Do you remember anything that happened?" There is something about Trina's story that doesn't feel right, despite not being able to remember what happened. But considering how I had no proof or inclination of what really happened I dejectedly shook my head.
"I'm sorry Auntie Sam, the last thing I remember is leaving B-Jade's house to walk home." I inwardly winced hoping that Trina didn't notice the almost slip up, obviously I had organised something with Jade to help cover where I was last night so that Trina would give me some leniency for not telling her I wouldn't be home.
"It's okay, I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but it seems like on top of your concussion, you've also broken your ankle pretty badly. I can't be too certain without an x-ray but you'll definitely need a cast or a moon boot, lucky for you I actually have one in my car just outside, I can call into work and explain the situation so that I can stay with you if you'd like girls?" I'm about to happily accept her offer, glad to have a friendly face around this house in what felt like forever when Trina quickly cuts in.
"Thank you so much for offering Auntie Sam, but I think we'll be okay. I'll call the school cause they know of our families set up and they'll be happy to let me stay home to take care of her." As she's saying this I know that it's a load of absolute bull shit, SHE'D rather eat cockroaches before she had to take care of me.
"That's no problem girls, sorry but I do need to dash out then, I was gonna come over for breakfast but then this kinda just popped up before we had a chance to eat. Trina if you worried about anything or need help with anything, you have my number don't hesitate to call me."
And with that Auntie Samantha gathered her things and with a finale goodbye and 'rest up' shut the door and left me to my own personal hell. The second the door closes Trina's concerned facade immediately changed into one of disdain.
"If you think for one second I am staying home to look after your over-dramatic ass you are sorely mistaken. I'm going to school, and I have absolutely no care about whether or not you manage to keep yourself alive long enough to see me when I get home. Later skank." And just like my Aunt, she gathered her things and with a show of slamming the door to make a hypothetical point, I was left alone with nothing but my thoughts. A dangerous thing to be alone with, as nothing ever good has come out of me being alone and thinking, usually, nothing but anxiety awaits. I get up off the couch and make my way into the kitchen to find some pain killers for my head and ankle, it's then that I see the moon boot that Sam was talking about on the kitchen bench, I quickly put it on wanting my ankle to stop throbbing as quickly as possible. I then pull out my phone and look up 'How often to wake up with a concussion' after doing some research I found that it would be best to wake up every 2- 3 hours. So I set up an alarm on my phone for 3-hour intervals, I walk to my room and lay on the bed. I then shoot a quick message of thanks to Jade, also explaining why I'd be absent from school for today at least if not the week, then I shut my eyes and fall asleep.

I wake up to my alarm blaring driving me into consciousness, I groan as I turn to my phone to restart the timer again, I was in the middle of an amazing dream after all and it was getting to a really enjoyable part when I was awoken. It's only as I turn to my phone to reset it that I realised that my timer still had 20 minutes left on it. What the hell? What woke me up then? Does my subconscious hate me so much that I can't be happy even in my dreams? It's only as I stop my timer and set it for three hours from now that the doorbell rings, which finally made me realise that that's what would have woken me up in the first place. Disgruntled I rise out of bed and head for the front door wondering who'd be over at this time on a school day. Thinking that it would just be the mailman with a package for Trina I opened the front door without even bothering to hide my injuries. To my absolute shock however it wasn't a mailman at my door but a very worried looking Beck instead, crap now I'm seriously regretting not checking first. I probably look a mess.
"Tori oh my god! Are you okay? I was so worried when you didn't make it to the first period, I asked to go to the bathroom but then skipped to come to see you, I'm glad I did now that I'm here you look awful!" I roll my eyes as I step aside to let him inside.
"Gee thanks Beck I know I am not usually the easiest thing to look at, no need to remind me of the fact." I was only half-joking at this point, my self-consciousness too prominent to not let itself be known. Unfortunately, Beck seemed to pick up on the truth in my statement and his face fell.
"You really have no idea how stunning you are, do you?" I have no idea what to say to that so I just sigh and decide that I needed to tell Beck about what had happened; even if I wasn't entirely sure how true it was.
"I can't remember what happened per se, but Trina told me that when I was on my way home from yours, by the way, she thinks I was at Jade's last night, and just as I was about to reach home I was jumped and they landed a few bad blows to my head and broke my ankle cause it was already weak from me twisting it the other day, so I need to stay home for today at least maybe even longer. I just need to make sure I get plenty of rest, I have to wake up every 2-3 hours though so I've set an alarm for every 3 hours, which kinda sucks cause I'm not the best at waking up with my alarm." I chuckle nervously, "thank you for worrying about me though, I'm sorry I didn't tell you when I left this morning you just looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb you." I give him a sheepish smile hoping he wasn't too upset about this morning.
"I was a little disgruntled when you weren't there, I thought maybe that I'd scared you off? That I'd pushed you too far. Especially considering you hadn't messaged, I've still not decided whether or not that's the case but like I said I was worried and wanted to make sure you were okay." I could kick myself, I completely forgot to message after what happened this morning.
"I'm sorry I meant to message you but after such a massive morning I kind of passed out before I had a chance to. You one-hundred per cent did not scare me off, at all. I'm sorry I made you worry." The rest of what I was going to say was interrupted by a massive yawn.
"You need some sleep, I should probably head back to school or maybe I should just go home at this point. I'm already going to get into trouble for skipping half of the second period so why not just drag it out for an extra day?" He gives me his heart-stopping smirk that makes any girl turn into a bowl of jelly, I am no exception to this rule, apparently as I quickly take a hold of his hand to prevent him from leaving.
"You could stay? I mean I require a nurse after all and you are an especially cute nurse that I wouldn't mind looking after me?" The more I'm talking the more mortified I'm becoming at what is coming out of my mouth, judging by his expression he can barely contain his laughter.
"Nurse Beck at your demand Tor." He says with a chuckle, I can't believe how much my life has changed in only a matter of days but I know it all thanks to this amazing man.
