"We have nothing to fear now T, it's just you and me."

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 the blinds as I stretched in the king sized bed I shared with Tory. We were in a bigger apartment complex now, one that was better and lacked shitty landlords. Dad had offered to lend us some extra money to get a better place, at first Tory and I refused. We are too stubborn for our own good and it took both of us ages to accept a little extra help. Daniel and I weren't in a perfect place, but he was trying and I wanted to try too. I rolled onto my side with a lazy smile on my face as I laced my fingers through Tory's shorter blonde hair. I loved the new look. I loved Tory with all my heart and soul. She stirred as I continued to keep running my fingers through her soft hair. She rolled closer towards me, her eyes fluttering open and her chin damp with drool. "Good morning Tor." I softly said, my fingers stroking down her jaw and finally breaking apart from her face.
Tory yawned and rubbed her eyes, "Morning Iz...wait, were you watching me sleep?" She asked, a sleepy smirk on her face. "Might've been." I shrugged, brushing it off and feeling a little shy. Tor looked like she was about to tease me when she saw the flashing lights from my alarm clock. "Shit!" She cursed jumping out of bed. "What's wrong?" I questioned gently, sitting up. "I overslept! I gotta take Brandon to school, give my mom her meds, I have a meeting with Counsellor Blatt about how I'm doing settling in." Tory listed rushing for her clothes out of her dresser. I quickly flew out of bed and wrapped my arms around her waist, "What are you doing I have to-" She went to snap when I hushed her, rubbing my hands up and down her hips comfortingly.
"Shhh I've sorted everything. Zach's mom picked up Brandon, I even got his breakfast down him and Grace has her medication. She looks a lot better T, she even sat on the couch earlier and watched FRIENDS with me." I explained, pressing a gentle kiss on her temple. "Just take a breath and relax." I hummed, spinning her around to face me. "How are you so calm glasses?" She asked teasingly as she nudged my glasses. She looked relieved though which was all I wanted, since we got back together I've tried my hardest to make Tory smile and relieve pressure. Although it doesn't stop her from teasing me playfully about wearing glasses now. "I have nothing to fear now. There's nothing to fear now T, it's just you and me." I confessed softly, a small smile on my face. "I'm just gonna go see my mom, thank you." She smiled, pecking my cheek. Before she could leave my phone rang. "Who's that Iz?" My girlfriend wondered.
My eyes flickered down to my phone, the number wasn't saved in my phone which instantly made me presume it was Kreese. I didn't reply to his text but it played on my mind. "Oh its just my old AA sponsor, I'll call him back later. He likes to check in on my progress still. I better get ready, I said I'd meet with Carl before practice. See you at the dojo." I lied, kissing her lips gingerly before she walked away to see her mom. It was only a white lie, it wouldn't hurt, right?
