Loves Me, Loves Me Not

Chapter 9

Rewind---

"Tori, you're crazy! But that's why I love y-" he coughed, "what I love about 

you! Now why did you get suspended? Badass." He added huskily, making his voice extra exotic and sexy. Almost mouth watering.  

What the hell am I thinking?!  

Well I can think that, he pretty much said he loves me.  

The fuck? Loves me? 

Okay, his hot and everything, but love? Ewe no, I feel so sick.

"Tori?" Tyler repeated, concerned. I was on the sidewalk almost throwing up.

"Yep." I choked taking a seat at the bus stop.

---

I explained the situation to Tyler, saying I hit Alicia in the face because she was saying shit. He asked multiple times what she was saying, but I'm not ready to explain why.  

He told me he had the second day off work, so he'd spend it talking to me.

The bus ride home, Tyler made me smile. I was laughing at stupid jokes he came up with. And I made him laugh a few times too.

Tyler promised to stay on the phone with me until I could Skype him, so he'd be there while my mum went ballistic. Or maybe she'll be ignoring me still, and my step father will go crazy instead.  

I don't mind the guy, just think his a little controlling of me.

"Tyler, I'm around the corner." I whimpered.

"Tori, you'll be fine silly! Why are you worrying?" He chuckled, trying to convince me.

"I've never gotten suspended before.." I stated, nervously.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Never gotten suspended! That's one of the main reasons I dropped out!" He laughed, sounding a little shocked.

"Ooh badass," I rolled my eyes.

He laughed harder. "How do you know your parents will react badly?" He asked.

"So Vanessa got suspended on-" I cried excitedly, I cut myself off, remembering.

"Vanessa?" Tyler asked curiously.

"I doesn't matter." I shook it off.

"But it sounded like a good story!" Tyler complained.

"Not all stories have a happy ending..." I muttered so Tyler couldn't hear me.

"How about you tell me another time?" Tyler suggested.

"Okay," I said, not completely agreeing. "Home we go!" I sung.

"I love your voice!" Tyler complemented. It sounded like he meant it.

"Victoria, you got suspended for hitting someone! It's not alright. Your mother and I are very disappointed in you! Your mother raised you better. Now you know she's going through a rough patch but-"

"John, you have no idea what happened! I'm having a hard time to, you know! I need my mum, but she can't be here for me, when I need her most!" I was crying by now. 

I'd hung up in Tyler a while ago, promising to tell him everything latter.

"Victoria, sweetie. Susan, she's just having a hard time. What happened to you, it's a replay of Vanessa-"

I banged my fists on the oak table I was sitting at.  

"Don't talk about her!" I glared.

"Tori, I'm sorry." John said.
