Chapter 5

Tori POV

I walked into the house there was no one home. I walked into the kitchen and found a note. It read:

Dear Tori,

Your father and I will be home tomorrow. There is money here for you and Trina to order a pizza. Be careful. And be nice to your sister.

Love,

Mom

Great no parents. As much as I would hate to say it, I want to be with them.

Later that night I was watching TV when someone came behind me and grabbed my shoulders. I fell to the floor crying, "don't hurt me, please."I was hugging my knees.

"Sorry, Tor. I didn't mean to scare you like that." I looked up to see Trina staring at me with a confused look on her face.

"It's alright." I said wiping my tears away.

She came over and sat next to me, "is there something you want to talk about."

"I wish I could tell you but I can't. If you want to know ask beck." Trina got up and got her keys and walked to the door. "Tri, where are you going?"

"To Beck's" she ran out the door. I hope I didn't just make things bad.

Trina POV

That Beck Oliver. He hurt my baby sister. He's going to get it. I got to his house and banged on the door, "Beck Oliver, you open this door." He opened the door and I ran in.

"Trina what are you doing here?

"What did you do to Tori?"

"What are you talking about?" he must be playing a little game.

"You know what I'm talking about. Why she cries and crawls onto the floor when someone touches her and yells 'don't touch me.' When I asked her what was wrong she told me to come ask you." I just spoke so much and it wasn't about me. Wow I must really care.

"You have the story all wrong." He started, "why don't you sit this news will be hard to hear." I sat without taking my eyes off him. "You have to promise not to tell because her life could be at stake if you do." Her life? I'll do anything to protect her. I nodded. "She was…" he paused, "raped"

"Oh my god. By who?"

"Matt Hansen at a party that happened a few weeks ago." That's why she has been so edgy, she was scared. "That's not all." I motioned him to continue. "He beat the crap out of her and knocked her unconscious because he thought she told me when I figured it out on my own. I found her getting beaten and I pulled him off of her. When it was safe I took her here and waited for her to wake up."

"I have a question. Do you like her?"

"Yeah I think I'm in love with her."

"Dude what about Jade?"

"I broke up with her."

"Then ask Tori out."

"I did. She said it's not a good time."

"I'll talk to her."

I said goodbye to beck and drove home. I walked in and went straight to Tori. I told her how sorry I was and to go out with beck. "He can protect you from Matt."

"Ok. I'll ask him."

"Good. I think he will be good for you."
