10pm.
"You sure your okay?" Michael asked as they walked into his street. "Im cool. Little chilly, but i know if i go back home right now, ill get iterigated" Tori sighed. "Well, your welcome into my home. I uh...my mom wont mind. My dad may be away on night shift already" Michael nodded looking down at her. "I dont know, i may interrupt..." Tori shrugged. "You wont. Dont worry, besides...if rather not go in alone" He sighed, as he stopped.
Looking down at his feet, he shook his head. "Hey" Tori stood in front of him. "Come on. Michael Clifford, you are not a wuss. Your....youve got big balls" Tori giggled. Earning a pleasing smile from him, Tori nodded. "I got huge balls" Michael shrugged. "You dont have to tell me twice" Tori shrugged smiling. "Seen them plenty" Michael joked. "Yes, okay." Tori scoffed and laughed.
Michael rolled his lips together, as he looked a head then to Tori again. "Come on" Tori smiled, and nodded her head towards his house. They both walked along his street, before they came too his gate. Michael walked in first heading to the front door, as he brought a key out from his jacket. He stuck it into the lock before looking at Tori. Tori smiled at him reassuringly, as he placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Where is Tori, and what have you done with her?" Michael smiled. "Hey...i can be nice. Besides...i know how it feels" She sighed, and looked at him. Michael nodded before he opened the front door. The familar hallway came into Tori's view as she followed Michael into the house.
"Mikey?!" She heard a woman call. "Yeah mom..." Michael sighed, as he stuck the key into a bowl on a shelf. Soon a woman, blonde hair, shoulder length with a caring complexion came out the supposedly living room. "Oh...hello" She smiled warmly at Tori. "Hi..." Tori smiled back. "Mom...this is Tori" Michael told her. "Tori...? Oh...Tori!" She grinned. "Its good to meet you hun...finally" She smiled.
"Finally?" Tori laughed a little. "Heard a lot about you" Her mom then admitted, before looking at Michael. "Oh right" Tori smiled and nodded, holding out her hand. "im Karen" She smiled, shaking her hand pleasently. "Its nice to meet you Mrs Clifford....Karen" Tori nodded. "Call me Karen" She smiled as she nodded, before breaking the handshake.
"Dad out?" Michael asked blankly. "Yeah, uh....Michael..." His mom began. "Tori, do you want to head up to my room?" He turned. "Uh, sure" Tori nodded. "Tori's staying for a little while, we bumpted into each other and got talking. Thought we could hang out, before she heads home" Michael smiled at his mom. "Oh, okay...as long as your parents know where you are" Karen smiled at her. "Oh its fine, dont worry" Tori nodded. "Thats fine" Karen smiled.
"Do you want something to drink? Soda, water...tea...hot chocolate?" Michael smiled. "You made hot chocolate?" Tori asked. "Yeah, whipped cream and marshmallows with cookie crumbles." He smirked. "I shall take that, thank you" Tori nodded. Karen smiled at them both before Tori headed to the stairs, and up them. Michael took his jacket off, before walking through to the kitchen with him mom following.
"Guess i'll be getting it tomorrow?" Michael asked him mom. Tori obviously hearing as she climbed the stairs. "No, dont be silly. Your dad believes in your Michael..." Karen told him. "Really, i didnt think when he was yelling at me and snatching my XBOX and stuff" Michael told her. "He's under a lot of pressure at work..." Karen sighed. "And that gives him the right to yell at me....you started it mom, because i dyed my hair" Michael told her.
"You dye it way too often." Karen shook her head. "Its fine." Michael sighed. "Sweetie, your only 18. Your getting tattoos, piercings and dying your hair way to fast. You still have to get into colleges...work" Karen told him. "And so the truth comes out" Michael scoffed. "You just have to be careful honey...like calm down a little" Karen smiled. "Mom...at the end of the day. Your appearnce shouldnt matter. Its how you work" Michael told her.
