Fighter

Chapter 11

I had finally reached the gym after the relaxing walk. I went to the change rooms and got dressed. Putting on my sports bra and shorts.

I walked out and first went to the office, when I went inside I saw Darron sitting there already going through the paperwork.

"Guess you beat me too it?" I asked which made his head snap up in my direction. "I guess so baby. How's my Sugar doing?" I chuckled and went to go sit on the couch. "I'm fine and you?" He shrugged but didn't say a word. I know better than to pester Darron for answers, so most of the time I will back off.

"So when does 'Killer' training begin?" I smirked at him, to which he did the same. "Right now."

The whole afternoon was spent training. Darron was not kiding when he said it's intense, he first had me doing 200 push ups, then 150 sit ups, then 200 chin ups and finally 30 minutes of planking.

"And that's only the warm ups." He said with a sly smirk.

The whole training was spent on exercise. He said he needed me in tip top shape, for the actual training.

After the painful training I finally reached my house, I had asked Darron to drop me off, considering on how much pain I was in. "Thanks for the lift." He smiled at him while attempting to climb out of the car smoothly.

"No problem baby." He smirked at me, I was about to close the car door but then I spoke again, "Darron I just have to let you know..." I trailed off.

"Yes Tori?" He stretched the 'S' of the yes. "I hate you." I smiled at him and playfully glared. "Love you too Sugar." He winked then drove off.

I walked up to my house and sighed when I smelt my moms cooking. "Hey mom." I said when I walked into the kitchen. Though when I walked in I didn't expect to see her with a glass of wine, starring at a picture of me and my brother, while bawling her eyes out.

"Oh mom... It'll be okay, everythings going to be okay." I pulled her into my embrace and just held her while she cried. I knew she needed to do this, to let it all out.

I don't blame her, he was her first child and that's something I could never replace. I know she loved us both equally and im glad she never resented me, like I've heard about other parents who did that to their children.

"Sssh it's okay, he's here with us." She pulled back a little and I looked into her red, puffy eyes. My heart broke at seeing my beautiful, always happy mother like this.

"I miss him so much Tori!" She wailed and hugged me tighter. She dug her nails into my arms but I didn't say a single thing about it. "Mom you know he's here with us and he always will be, in here." I patted her's and my heart to prove my point.

"Thank you sweety, I don't know what I'd do without you." She tried to take a sip of her wine again but I quickly took it out of her grasps. "Mom you know you shouldn't be drinking this." She nodded her head and kept quiet.

"Have you taken your medication?"

"I ran out of it. Tori please don't go buy more!" I went up to my room to grab my wallet. When I reached my room, she grabbed my hand. "Please Tori you can't be paying for me, I have to pay for you!" She was crying even harder now and I was close to doing the same.

"Mom you need the medication. I don't care if you don't want me to buy you the medicine but I will do anything to help you. You've always been there for me, now it's my turn." I took my hand back gently and walked up to my desk. I looked in my wallet to see that I had just enough for the things I'll need.

"I'll be back soon mom, get some rest okay? I'll finish up the dinner then I have to head to work." She nodded but I knew she wanted to still protest. I walked down the stairs, grabbed my keys and made my way towards the car. The pharmacy was to far away to walk so I had no choice but to use my car.
