Until You Lost It

Chapter 5

     The sun peaked through the curtains, shining down on Tyler and Victoria. Blinded by the light, Victoria covered her eyes, slowly getting up. Instantly thinking of the events that happened, Tori turned around to see Tyler shuffling around in bed. Opening his eyes slowly, he looked at Tori with a confused look. "This has to be a dream." He said, going back to sleep. Giggling, Tori smacked him with a pillow. "Its not, now get up. You have to go get a shirt on . . . remember?!" She said, making him nod. "Yep, I remember." Tori walked out of the room, heading to Skylar's room.

     Walking in, Victoria looked at the bed to see Sky sprawled out on the bed. Glad I didn't sleep in here, she thought. Grabbing her things and heading to the shower. Jumping in, Tori took her time, washing her hair slowly. While rinsing her hair, she closed her eyes peacefully. Suddenly, then image of the guy popped up, his sadden face filled her head. "I'm sorry!" He said, making her open her eyes again. I wonder why he said that it was a drug, she thought. Soap slowly trailed down her face, getting into her eyes. Squeaking, she closed her eyes, trying to rub the pain away. Turning to the water, she opened her eyes to rinse them.

     Quickly finishing up her shower, Tori quickly got dressed and headed up to the kitchen. Seeing Gina, she flashed her a smile. "Hey sugar, did you sleep well?" She said, her country accent peaking through. I guess she hasn't heard yet, Tori thought. "Good, and you?" "I sleep like a baby-doll, it was like heaven. Want some French toast?" "Sure, so . . . you didn't hear any screaming or anything?" "no, did somethin' happen?" "uh, no . . . well . . . " Should I really tell her, Tori asked herself. "Nothing really happened, Tyler just snuck into my room and just freaked out Skylar and I." Tori lied. Scared out of her wits, Gina stared at her. "Man, I wish I was awake to see that." Sighing in relief, Tori smiled softly.

     For the very first time in her life, she lied. She lied to her best friend, someone that she actually trusted. Can I handle this, she thought, looking at Gina with doubt. Her back was turned, working on the toast. She wanted to tell her, but was too scared. Ignoring her thoughts, she simply smiled. "Is anyone else up?" Tori asked. "Yeah, they're all outside playing with the Frisbee." Nodding, Tori got up and went outside.

     The group was in a circle, tossing multiple frisbee's to each other. "Hey guys!" Tori said, giving a smile. Looking up, Tyler gave her a smile before being smacked with a Frisbee. Laughing, Tori walked over to him. "Are you alright?" She asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Did you sleep well?" "Yeah, and you?" "It was good, I got to sleep with my dream girl, so nothing bad should've happened." Laughing, Tori smacked him softly, "hey that was abusive!" He said with a smirk. "Are you sure it wasn't animal cruelty?" Kaylee said with a dull look. Giving her an irritating look, Tyler ignored her. "Is Gina almost done with breakfast?" He asked. "Yeah, I think she was just finishing up my plate."

     The group went back inside, seeing that Gina had finished up breakfast. "You also made our plates?" Jake asked. "Yeah, gotta make sure everyone gets their nutrition." Gina said, patting his belly. "I do get my nutrition, I just like choose to have sweets" "yeah, and its a good thing your so athletic, or else you would be as fat as an orange!"

     Making everyone laugh, Jake smiled in embarrassment. "Your luckly I like you!" He said, making Tori, Kaylee, and Skylar gasp. "What?" He said, getting confused. "You like her?" Kaylee said. "Does this mean you two are dating?" "Is that why you two slept in the same room?" Tori said, making the girls stared at her. "What?" She said. "Uh . . . no!" "So, your saying you two didn't sleep in the same because you don't like each other?" "No, we chose to sleep in the same room cause we do like each other." Gina said, making Tori smirk. Everyone was quiet for a moment before Gina spoke. "Did you just use reverse psychology on us?" Tori shrugged, "I have no idea what your talking about." Laughing, Tyler came up from behind, giving her a hug. "Your a sneaky little one, aren't cha?" Giggling, Tori shook her head. "I don't recall being sneaky" "now, I know our love isn't as strong as theirs." Gina said, pointing the spatula at Tori and Tyler. Blushing furiously, Tyler and Tori pulled apart, looking at the ground.
