Loss
Tori
If I had known this was the last time we would do this, I would've taken my time to remember every detail.
Andre was above me. his mouth buried at the crook of my neck as his member plunged inside of me.
We moaned together as we came. Twenty five years of marriage we still did this every morning, and every night. It was something that we insisted we would do. When we finished he slid down and kissed my belly. "I'm so happy we are doing this again. '' he whispered.
We had a bit of a fertility battle at the end of the year, and by Christmas we found out that our twins were residing in my womb. We were so happy. "Babe we really have to postpone this year's tour." I whispered. "I don't think this new Virus going around is any good. I can't get sick"
"Yeah baby I know." Andre said laying down next to me. "I have a meeting with Mason today in…" He reached ofr his phone and sat up quickly" Shoot 40 minutes. I'll fly over traffic I'll get there faster." He stated dressing quickly. It was a10 minute drive to the helicopter pad, and then another 20 to the building.
He should make it on time. "Bye baby," I said following him to the bedroom door.
He kissed me and headed down through the door Greeting Sirrah on his way out. "Wait, Daddy You said I'd meet with Mason!"
"Sirrah next time. I'll set up a meeting today alright?" Andre said and grabbed his keys. My thirteen year old pouted as her daddy walked out of the door. I came up behind her and placed an arm around her shoulders.
"Don't be in such a rush to grow up." I said and kissed her forehead.
:"Mom. He's been helping me write some songs." Sirrah said following me to my office.
"I know, " I said, picking up the scripts on my desk and handing her her script for her show. "You sound amazing. But you have to be patient."
" Mom you think you can help me with Math?" she asked.
"Yeah bring it over." I said dropping into my seat.
I opened my script and started to read the series finale. It was beautiful. I was going to miss working with my best friend. We need to come up with something else. Jade was an awesome showrunner.
Jade
I walked out of my room, and headed down the hall to one of our many unused rooms. Beck stayed out of our bed last night, Don't even know if he is home. I sighed and headed down to the kitchen to get the coffee ready.
I read my lines as I toasted a bagel. Beck jogged down the stairs shortly after, and kissed wrapped his arms around me and kissed the base of my neck. I hummed and smiled as I placed my toast on a saucer and served myself some coffee "There's some coffee."
"Yes," He hissed and reached around me pressing himself against me.
"Good night?" I asked quirking a brow as I leaned foreward on my kitchen island.
"Very," He responded. "You should join us next time."
"Maybe." I said and went back to reading my screenplay. "The finale has me a little stressed, at least Tori and Andre are pushing to cancel the tour this summer. I have to get Tawny cast and I don't really know who I have in mind for it yet."
I had plans of starting a series for Netflix for a prequel for the Scissoring. I heard my phone chime. I had alerts on all of my friends so I picked up the phone and dropped my mug of coffee as i read the headline. My whole script was soaked brown. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Babe, what's wrong?"
"No, no, no…" I said and ran toward my door. "Call Jordan and Miri… Don't let them find out like this."
"What are you talking about?" He said watching me run out without my bag. And he grabbed them and followed me out of our house.
"Andre.. His Helicopter crashed." I stated and climbed into my Tesla. He froze holding out my bag. "I have to be with Tori right now."
"Yeah… I'll call the kids." Beck said and I pulled away.
I called Cat and Robbie. "Jade, did you hear?" That was Cat.
"Yes...please let me tell Tori don't call her. I hope she isn't finding out like the rest of the world.
"Of course." They both said.
These ten minutes we lived apart felt like hours. There was no way I would make it to her before she knew. I sped through to my best friend's house. I got to her door and I heard a scream. And my heart was in my throat.
I used my key to let myself in, and went to my pregnant friend who was on the floor of her office holding her sobbing thirteen year old daughter. "Oh no…" I said "Sirrah baby come here." I pulled the little girl to me and walked with her to the living room as Miri and Jordan walked into the house. My son's face was pale as he followed his frantic girlfriend who clung to her little sister the moment she walked in.
"I'm gonna go see to Aunt Tori," I said to him kind of trusting him with his girlfriend and her sister and turned back to my best friend.
I saw her on the floor curled up tight in a fetal position. The screenplay is a pillow under her head. And I dropped down behind her. "Hey my love," I whispered to her.
"We were just…" she said. I could guess what she meant because Tori told me what they did. She told me when I told her what Beck and I were doing. But to each their own. Beck and My relationship was better than before. Just like Sex strengthened Tori and Andre's relationship. "I'm never going to feel that again."
I sighed. "He loves you so much." I said, running my fingers through her hair. I didn't really know how to make her feel better, I just knew I had to be here. "Babe, you need to get up from the floor. You are not as young as you were the last time you did this."
"It doesn't matter." The shattered woman cried.
"It does," I said and reached for her trying to help her up. "You have to think of the babies… and your girls. They are going to want to hear from you, I know you don't want to, but you can tweet something out and then just disappear."
"What about work?" Tori said as I pulled her toward her room.
"There is no work today. I am shutting it down." I said texting my assistant to close the studio.
"If we wait too much longer, I'll be showing." Tori said in a sob.
I let out a whet laugh. Only Tori would think about work right now. "Tori, we can wait till you give birth for all I care. No one is going to work for at least a week."
I sat her down on her bed, "babe, rest okay? Give me your phone, I'll put out a statement."
She gave me her phone and I put in her passcode. I opened twitter and tweeted the standard respect my family tweet and dropped the phone at her bedside table. Tori was in bed hugging her husband's pillow and taking deep breaths.
By the time I got back downstairs, all of our friends were there. We all rallied to be there for the sobbing girls. Once I was satisfied the girls were taken care of, I returned to Tori's room and lay next to her and held on to the grieving woman.
