It had been six months since the day that Tori's dad left. Four since her parents announced their divorce. Shes been holding up ok. Shes my little fighter, she didn't let her dad leaving get her upset anymore. Instead there was an extreme distaste for him; maybe even hatred. I'm trying to get her to forgive him but I know that until shes ready it wont happen. So me and her are sitting at the piano in my house. I've been teaching her to play. At first I would play and she would sing but one day ask me to teach her. It was a way to keep her mind off things but now she was as in love with it as I am.

"I wrote a song Andre" Tori says right after finishing our lesson for that day.

"Let me hear it then."

"I don't know if its any good"

"I'm sure it fine if you wrote it. So lets hear it."

"Ok." she pulls a folded piece of paper out of her pocket. She unfolds it and places it on the music stand in front of her. She places her on keys and sings a slow sad ballad about lost respect and lost love. Her voice starts to falter about midway though. Her eyes fill with tears but they don't fall, she blinks them away then takes a deep breath and finishes the song.

"That was amazing Tori."

"You really think so?"

"Yea its really good. You might have a future as a songwriter."

"No, that's for you. I sing you write that's how its suppose to be."

"Sounds like a perfect pairing to me." I look into her eyes as she sits next to me on the piano bench. Her eyes seem dimmer today. They usually sparkle like diamonds but today seems different. I grab her hand "What's wrong Tori?"

"What makes you think there was something wrong?"

"Because I know you and I can tell."

"Well there isn't anything wrong." shes lying I think to myself, her nose crinkled. She always crinkles her nose when she lies.

"You're not being honest with me babe."

"Yes I am." Her nose crinkles again.

"Uh huh what ever you say Tor." I say not being one to push knowing she would tell me soon enough. She starts playing with the piano keys again. She was always trying to hide her emotions. I know she going through tough times so I try to be there for her at all times. Were always together. We try not show to much pda around our friends. They get complain that we kiss we way too much. But we can't help it. She is my drug and I'm hooked and when we are near each other it seems that all is right with the world. The music she is playing stops. I realize that have zoned out.

"I met him yesterday." she says just above a whisper.

"Who?"

"My brother." she whispers once again.

"Whoa! How did it go?"

"Better than I thought. At first I didn't want to see him."

"How old is he?"

"He's only two and he is so adorable."

"Then why so glum?"

"This isn't the first time I've met him."

"How do you mean?"

"He stayed at our house for a couple hours last year. Dad told us that his mom had errands to run and the baby sitter had canceled so being the kind soul he was he offered to baby sit. Something didn't seem right then but we believed him. I wish I had known then. But then I don't because I wouldn't have you to help me though this." she kisses me then. I could never get enough of her kisses. We kiss until we were gasping.

"You know every kiss with you seems like the first." I whisper into her ear.

"Well I hope we have a lifetime of first kisses." she whispers back

"Well can I have another first kiss?" she press her lips to mine in reply.

I lay in bed its been a couple of hours since Tori left and it seems like forever. I pick up my guitar and play a few simple cords. I start to hum the words to the song Tori wrote. Before long I fell asleep. I"m awoken a short time later by Tori's ring tone coming from my phone. I grab it.

"Hello?"

"Oh good your still up."

"Actually I just woke up."

"Oh I didn't wake you did I?"

"No your fine."

"You sure?" I glance at the clock. 11:38.

"Yea. Is there something wrong?"

"No I just want to come over that's all."

"You sure nothing's wrong."

"Yea. I'm fine this is more of a pleasure call. I miss you." My eyes grew wide. It had been a while since me and Tori had been together intimately. The last time being about two months and i was ready for another nite with her. Maybe would finally take it to the next level.

"Andre you still there?"

"Yea. I'm here. I think that my grandma has gone to sleep so I guess it would be ok for you to come."

"Ok I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Ok love you." I say as I hang up. I look around my room its fairly clean so need for a rush clean up job. I wonder if there is anything else we need for tonight. I think about the box of condoms in my dresser draw. I had brought them after the second time Tori spent the night. Things had gotten so heated that night i felt better safe than sorry and went to the drug store the next day. I don't her to think I'm only in this for sex. Sex would be great. Don't get me wrong, the things we do are amazing but thinking about how it would feel to be inside her drives me crazy. Just this thought is causing a small tent to form in my pants. I hear a soft rapping at the window and I know she's here. As I walk over to the window I get an idea. I quickly walk to the dresser and pull out the box of condoms and set them on my night stand in plain sight. Tonight's going to be fun. I think as I slide open the window.
