18.

we arrived back home and ashton dropped me off before heading back to pick up the rest of the boys.

my phone buzzed and i opened it and saw a text from madison.

madison: same time tomorrow?

me: i have therapy with carly at 10, but yes, i'm down:)

madison: perfect! ily<3

me: ly2

i put my phone down and went to go take a shower.

i quickly showered braided my hair and changed into pj's before going down to sit on the couch.

i turned on the tv and began to watch a show when i saw madison's name pop up on my phone.

she wanted to facetime again.

"hey." i replied with a soft smile.

"hi! what are you up too?" madison asked.

"just watching tv. i'm waiting for the boys to get home for dinner." i shrugged.

"i see! um, i just wanted to say hi." she smiled brightly.

"hello." i chuckled as i skipped past a part.

i heard a car pull into the front and looked back at madison.

"hey, i'm going to have to call you back after dinner, the boys just arrived." i smiled softly.

"promise you'll call back?" madison spoke firmly.

"of course." i replied as i hung up.

the boys came piling in the bags of italian food.

"salad?" i asked as i turned to ashton.

"salad." he confirmed.

i sat down and ate dinner with the boys before luke, of course, had to bring up what happened today.

"oh mate, tory fucking almost walked in on calum and brandy doing it." luke spoke as he tried to hide a laugh.

"you what?" michael spoke as he bursted out laughing.

"jeez." ashton spoke as he shook his head in disappointment.

"what? i didn't know she was going to come to my office." calum spoke with an eye roll as he leaned back.

"yeah, let's definitely avoid this topic." i spoke as i stared at my salad.

dinner was soon over and i went up to my room after saying goodnight.

i called madison back and we sat there and talked all night long until i ended up falling asleep on call.

i woke up the next morning and hung up before taking out my braids and changing into a hoodie and leggings.

i went downstairs and ashton was the only one there.

"hey, you ready?" ashton asked.

i nodded slowly.

as soon as we started driving he spoke, "you didn't smoke last night."

"one day clean." i spoke with an eye roll.

"that's the attitude!" ashton smiled.

"that was total sarcasm." i pointed out.

"one day it won't be." he smiled as he pulled into the hospital.

i got out and walked over to carly's office and knocked on the door.

"hey tory!" she smiled.

"hi." i replied softly.

"how are you today?" carly asked.

"decent and you?" i replied.

"going good. i thought today we could talk more about you're mom?" carly spoke softly.

"no." i replied harshly. "sorry, no, i don't want to talk about it."

"it's okay! no worries what so ever. what do you want to talk about?" carly asked.

"nothing. i don't even know why i'm here." i whispered.

"well, i can't answer that for you, but i'm here if you want to ever talk about anything on your chest." carly smiled gently.

it was silent for a couple minutes before i spoke up, "i hate my mom."

"why is that?" carly asked.

"she sends me here for two years for money, tells ashton i'm a cutter without even consulting me, she's never around, she has the nerve to yell at me about smoking when she never even noticed, do i need to continue? the list goes on forever." i sighed.

"that seems very frustrating. is there anything you like about your mom?" carly asked.

"i guess i like how she doesn't give a fuck about everyone other than herself."
