Oh my god, I'm sorry for not updating sooner! Exams are going crazy, and I'm going to apply for highschool, so please understand my late update! I'm very very very very sorry for not updating really! 'Till then, read, review, and play nice!
If it wasn't for Andre, Tori would've still in bed, rolling over in her own guilt and despair for who knows how long it would take. And she would constantly play a recording video of a certain black-haired rebel whom she oddly fell in love with, as a reminder that SHE was the cause of the girl's death.
So he decided that she needs to at least take a break of what she had been through this past three weeks and also to prevent Tori from having the idea of searching for a razor blade and ending her life with it. Or stopping by at the nearest drugstore to buy cyanides. Or even going through her parents drawer to find her father's gun. Because he knew that Tori was capable of doing that when she had the chance.
No, Andre could not let her do, or even let her think about doing such things. He just loves her too much to see her suffer over something that is clearly not her fault, no matter how much she's trying to remind herself that it was.
So here they were, in Andre's car, on the way to karaoke dokie to meet with Cat and Robbie. One of the few places that he could come up with that might get her mind off Jade.
On the way to their destination was uncomfortably quiet. Neither of them had enough will or topics to even create a conversation. Andre was busy focusing on the road, while Tori was still in deep thoughts. And sometimes Andre could hear his best friend's coughs. He knew exactly why, it was because his car still has this pungent scent because of what Andre's grandmother did.
Yeah, it was never a good combination between one crazy lady's paranoid behaviour and a movie about insects. She'll immediately buy a bottle of bug repellant, and there's Andre's car and... you know the rest...
Right after they reached the destination and parked the car, Tori and Andre went inside Karaoke Dokie. Considering right now was a beautiful sunny weekend, it was to no surprise for the duo to find it difficult to find a place to sit. It would've been harder to search for their friends more if it wasn't for one prominent redhead waving her hands and calling their names.
They joined in the table after realizing it was Cat. But she was alone, Robbie was nowhere to be seen. "Hey, Cat." Tori looked to her surroundings. "Where's Robbie?"
"Maybe he's in the restroom, napping. I'm not sure, he hasn't came out of the restroom since we got here," Cat replied innocently.
"Okay, I'm gonna find Robbie then." Andre excused himself and went searching for Robbie in the said place. While waiting for both boys to come, Tori and Cat ordered their foods and started chatting like always. Until Cat's phone vibrates which interrupted their talks. As the redhead read the message, her eyes widened as she gasped and covered her mouth with her palms.
"Cat? What is it?" Tori looked up at Cat who was now standing up, not getting her attention off the phone.
"Oh my god, I forgot! I was supposed to babysit today and, oh? Sam wants me to bring 2 buckets of fried chicken, one spicy and one extra spicy... And three chilli biscuits. Oh my god, oh my god! I gotta go. I'm sorry, Tori. I really am!" After grabbing her purse, Cat scurried outside the parking lot and left Tori all alone.
This is the third time this week that Cat had bailed on Tori for the babysitting job that she had started with her new roommate, Sam Puckett. Sure, it was a little bit sad to be left alone and not getting to spend time with her best friend so often like they used to, but Tori understood. The readhead had finally found her passion about babysitting and if she's happy, Tori's happy.
Just as she was enjoying the music that one of the customers sang, two tall young men approached her table, smirking.
This is not going to be good...
All Jake could do was curse under his breath. He never was the one for being told to do things. But in this case, he didn't have much of a choice. Being a Karaoke-Dokie waiter slash dishwasher was the only job available that doesn't require filling in applications or telling them your educational experience. As long as you know how to smile and washing dishes, then you are hired.
He wouldn't even consider on having a part time job if Mitch hadn't told him he needs to fill out his own needs without the help of the guardian Angel. Some angel he is...
And fortunately for Jake, he still has the same cunning, demented, criminal mind of one Jade West, so it's not very hard to frame other applicants who also wants to work here.
But his boss' repulsive attitude made him fight the urge of strangling him in sleep. And there's this blonde waitress with a disturbingly massive breasts who always winks at him and talks to him in an uncomfortably seductive way. And Jake's constant straight "No" answers didn't seem to make her get the message.
Jake was in the middle of washing dishes when his co-worker, Fred, shouted from the fry station. "Hey kid! There are new customers outside! And you haven't cleaned table six! Hurry the hell up!"
"Okay, okay I'm on it!" Jake immediately took off his dishwashing apron and hurried to the said table.
Wiping the table and unpleasantly scraping gums in the bottom, he overheard a rather interesting conversation behind him.
"Oh, come on. Let us buy you a drink." The owner of the voice was a male.
"Yeah, and after that, we can have fun together." A different male voice added.
Jake rolled his eyes and ignored them, what those two guys was saying or doing was none of his business. So he kept cleaning the table his co-worker asked him to do, until one familiar feminine voice caught his attention.
"I'm sorry, but I can manage to buy my own drink, thank you very much." Jake turned his head, only to find Tori sitting in front of two strangers, looking at her like a trapped gazelle that made Tori pretty much uncomfortable to share a seat with them.
One of the man had brown hair, while his friend had blonde. Both men was very well-built and had strong facial feature. Jake must admit, they look quite attractive. No wonder they were acting cocky around her.
"Aaaw come on! A pretty girl like you shouldn't be left alone like this. Let's hang out with us!" Said the brown-haired man sickly sweet but with a glimpse of demanding tone in it that makes Jake had troubles not to stomp his face.
"I'm sorry, but... I... have a boyfriend..." Tori lied. She might be one of the best actress in school, but Jake never find it so hard to tell wether she's lying or not.
"I don't see him," The man kept smirking.
"Turn around," For her sake, Jake decided to play along. All three of them turned towards his direction. Their eyes widened.
"Now you see him."
Aaaand that's it for today. I'm going to face national exams in eight days, so wish me luck guys! 'Till then, read, review, and play nice!
