Prove It

Chapter 6

Niall's P.o.v

"How was school,Honey?" My mom asked, but I just walked by because I didn't know she was there.

Lost in thoughts I guess.

"How was school?" She asked again.

"Oh" I said "good..." I started to walk into my room, but my stepdad stopped me.

"Do you know a girl named Tori Green?" I nodded, " we'll her dad died the other day" He said with a sad look.

"I know" is all I said. I finally made it to my room and laid there thinking a bout every think.

I have been thinking too much lately, I got a headache.

Why can't my life be simple? Why can't I be a normal teenager with normal problems? But no, I make fun of The one girl who actually has probably been fighting all her life to get free.

My eyes were blurry, but they saw an old year book. Maybe I should look at this to take my mind of of things.

I opened it up to a random page that had my old class. And sitting right by me, there was Tori.

I remember back then, I had a tiny crush on her. Okay maybe a huge one, but I don't even know why.

I do know why. She's gorgeous actually. It's just I started to hate her because she never talked to me.

I don't know what to think. Life Is so Hard.

I walked Into the kitchen to get a cup of tea, maybe that will take my mind off of things. I walke downstairs and made my tea.

Sitting at the table, I pulled my phone out and logged onto twitter. Taking sips of my tea and going to twitter actually did make my thoughts go away.

I heard a rather soft knocking at my door. I walked up an slightly opened the curtains. Tori was standing outside with her backpack.

"What Are you doing here..?" I said quietly.

"We have a project." He said in a stern voice. I just ignored it.

"You...can uh. Come to my room. Where's the paper mac-?"

She interrupted me by picking of a paper mâché protect from out of sight. I closed my mouth and starte to guide her into my room.

"So.-" Why does she keep on cutting me off?!

"Im not talking to you, just came here to get the project done,okay?" I nodded and was dumbfounded by Tori'a words.

We finally finished and I realized something.

I might actually like her.. Might? I do.

She was packing up her stuff and was ready to go. I stopped her by grabbing her arm.

"Wait. Tori." She pulled away fiercely.

"What?"

"I...I was wondering if you would wanna go to the movies with me or something...?"

Se started crying. Why?! I didn't mean to make her cry, actually quite the opposite.

"Really?All The Pain And Torment that you caused me doesn't matter? You think I'll just forget about it?because I won't. Look. " She pulled up her sleeves to reveal old scars.. I instantly broke down. I almost fell on my knees. The tears were almost drowning me.

"Tori.. I'm so sorry." I said in between sobs.

"It's a little late for sorrys.Do you know how many nights I would go home and cry? I was even surprised that I had more tears left. I had troubles with school, with my family, with my weight! I never thought that anyone would love me. You know how you would call me worthless? Yeah I actually believed you. No body can take care of me. Nobody can think I have a place. Nobody can love me." She whispered Te last part.

I thought about it for a second, all I could say was, "What If I can? What if I can show you that you have a place, what if I can show you love?"I was waiting for an answer.

She started to walk away. Then all of a sudden she turned around and said two words that would make me work harder than I ever have.
