Waiting

7

I automatically dropped the knife. The amount of guilt banged hard on my chest.

"What-what are you doing?" Tori shrieked in horror. Damn it. This whole point was to get Tori to start liking me again, but now she felt the exact opposite. But I knew I was getting into some deep shit, so I had to be prepared for the consequences.

"Who are you?" I lied. Mr.Lenner was still staring at me with his mouth wide open. Like seriously dude, that shit is really unattractive on all levels. I would probably buy some listerine for him too on my way out. Dave stood bewildered, trying to make up a logical explanation to all of this.

Tori took my hand and dragged me to the nearest room, and shut the door loudly behind it.

"Look, there's a very good reason for what you just saw out there mere seconds ago," I started to say.

"Shut up" she immediately replied, her voice coming out weak. I could tell she was heart broken from seeing what she saw, but it wasn't like I wasn't trying here.

Before I could even explain what she just saw, her lips came invading mine. I didn't know whether or not to kiss her back or stop her. I wasn't complaining, but this was not Tori. Well, I better make the best of it. I responded quickly, grabbing her by the waist and moving towards the bed.

She immediate got her grip and pushed me off of her, with a huge smirk on her face.

"See?" She said, her devious smirk annoying the hell out of me. "You think that I'm just supposed to forgive you and start kissing you like some fucking Romeo and Juliet?" Her voice came out a bit harsher this time.

"Till death do us part...." I muttered.

"Like why would you even try to become a part of my personal life? Like really, you felt like you had to come by MY house and for what, some more pride? I swear your ego is actually bigger than your fucking life span, dick head."

"Tori, I don't think we need to go there," I said, trying not to let the anger inside of me erupt. I was going to find her dad that left her to fucking sakes man, cut me some slack. She just turned me on for a good two seconds and totally whip lashed on me.

She tried so hard to bite back tears. I knew she was hurt, but what's the point of falling in love without being aware of the bullshit that comes with it? You just can't love a person without knowing you're going to get some type of rejection at some point. I've lived long enough with it in the past, so it didn't really phase me.

"Wow Adam. That's just shady. And believe me, I've seen more shade than a fucking beach!!" she yelled in frustration. "I actually opened up to you and told you about my life. And your way of showing your appreciation is by going to my house and attempting to almost kill my brother?"

Okay, I did have to admit that I was in what looked like a bad situation. She didn't have anyone else to open up to. But if we stayed together, then when I died, she still wouldn't have anyone else to go to. So in a way, I was doing her a favor by showing her how to live without me. Right?

"Tori, I wish I could tell you why I did what I did, but i just- I just- just can't" i stammered.

"I knew it. You can't ever tell me why you decide to do the stupidest shit ever. Of course, because it's all so too much for you to handle. But guess what, this is fucking life. You live with this shit every fucking day. I thought that you would get it by now, but nope. First you just completely ignore me, and then you start acting like an over controlling freak who's just talking to me from out of nowhere?"

Whew. This girl really had a shitload to get off her chest. Thank goodness she wasn't looking for a new relationship. But now this shit was pissing me off. A boner isn't easy to deal with people.
