Mr. Grey aka Mr. Perry

Chapter Nine

Lorie's point of view

My eyes flickered open. I squinted from the sunlight directly hitting my face. It wasn't like my normal room window. I sat up, my head spinning and hands shaking a little. I was wearing an oversized shirt, one that I had never seen before and my hair was brushed back neatly and put into a ponytail.
A glass of water and some that's was left for me on a plate beside me. I was on the sofa in the chilling area in our trailer. And the person sitting beside me was somebody who I had hoped to forget.

"Tony? What...what happened?" I asked. My voice was very raspy from the alcohol.
"I got here after your brothers asked me to come and explain what happened last night. You were passed out drunk on your bed, whiskey spilt everywhere, makeup smudged everything. I cleaned you up and bought you out of your room for some fresh air." Tony explained as I sat up and took a sip of my water. I must've got so drunk I could hardly remember what happened after the club. My neck ached and my arms felt heavy. "Lorie...I've been thinking and...I'm over it. I know whatever you had with Mike is over." Tony stated and I nearly choked on my glass of water.
"Wh-what? Tony...I didn't-"
"It was Mike wasn't it? Who stole your virginity?" He asked calmly. I was so hung over I couldn't tell my right hand from my left.
"N-no Tony. You're wrong!" I shouted, getting angrier and angrier with every word he said.

Suddenly it all came back. The night club, Chloe, the fight, the whiskey. I couldn't take it anymore. I, for the first time, couldn't bare to think about Tony Perry. I stood up and walked over to my pile of clean clothes on the dining table and slipped on some jeans and flip flops.
"You don't have to lie Lorie." Tony said, standing up but staying still. He could see the anger in my eyes. He could see the hurt I was feeling.
"J-just shut up! I'm not lying!" I shouted, tears beginning to form in my eyes yet again.
"Jason told me about you and Mike. He told me everything." Tony explained, beginning to grow impatient.
"I didn't sleep with Mike! He didn't take my virginity!" I continued to shout at Tiny as I buttoned up my jeans.
"Well then who did?"
"A rapist!" I screamed at Tony. The only thing that was heard after saying that was my panting. Tony's eyes had a look of pity in them and they started to go red and shiny.
"Wh-" he tried to say but he was too speechless to say anything. I wiped my tears away as they fell continuously and I sobbed aloud.

"Oh come off it Tony. Haven't you noticed how I look nothing like Josh or Jason? I'm a mistake. I am the result of drunk, unprotected sex. My mother used to go out at weekends to pay the rent, coming home with clumps of hair missing, bruises and God knows what else. She told me she would be back Monday. Monday came. In fact Monday came every week for three months. I had nothing to eat except dry, uncooked pasta because I was so little I couldn't reach the upper cupboards. I was so hungry and so lonely, I ran out of the house in search for her. I couldn't find her or my way home so I slept under a kiddies trampoline in the park. And that night there also just happened to be a pervert passing by..." I explained. The look on Tony's face was like nothing I had ever seen before. He was so shocked...so hurt. I hated hurting him. I hated shouting at him but he needed to know. How could he call me a liar? How could he come here and take care of me after he touched another woman? "The day after, Jason found me in the park and took me to a care home. I told him what happened after a few years in care." I explained, grabbing my glass of water and throwing it into the sink, causing it to smash.

My hand was cut slightly but the pain was nothing compared to openly admitting my childhood to him. "So fuck you Tony Perry." I cursed, running out of the trailer.
"Lorie!" Tony screamed but he didn't chase after me. He nene it wouldn't help at all. I grabbed his bike and rode off down town in the direction to the cliffs. I rode so fast I couldn't hear anything. This wind was so loud in my ear, everything was a blur.
I hate him.
I hate Tony Pe-

"Lorie?" I heard someone call. I recognised the voice but I couldn't open my eyes. I tired and tried but they wouldn't open. They were sealed shut. "Lorie, it's Tony. You've been hit by a car." He explained softly. My heart pounded. I was in a hospital. I could heart my heart monitor on the right side of me and Tony on the left. He held my hand tight.
"Wh-mmphf!" I tried to talk but it felt like someone had glued my tongue to the roof of my mouth. My body was numb apart from the hand that Tony was holding.
"Shh don't try and move or talk. It'll cause your blood pressure to rise. Just stay calm, okay?" He said. I couldn't see anything apart from the back of my eyelids. I couldn't cry, I couldn't shout out. I couldn't tell Tony how I felt.
"I'm so so sorry. I had no idea what happened when you were younger. I thought that you cheated on me. I thought you got with Mike after what Jason said and the condoms and everything...but it doesn't matter now. As long as you're okay I'll be okay. You're going to get through this darling. You're so strong." He whispered and as he did, I felt my breath shorten. I could hear my heart monitor start to slow and Tony began to panic. "N-no Lorie, stay with me baby, come on, please, someone help please?!. I admit I was wrong about everything. Someone help! She's dying! I'm not strong enough for the both of us. What am I going to do without you? Please Lorie! Please baby stay strong. I love you!" He cried, resting his hand on my chest as my whole body began to turn cold. I lifted my hand and pointed to my eyes.
"Eyes? Eye?" Tony asked and I nodded. I moved on to my chest. "Chest? Lungs? ...Heart?" I nodded again and then I pointed into Tony's voice direction. "M-me?" Tony asked. I could hear his crying with his words. I could fear his pain as I was slowly slipping away.
"You love me?" Tony asked and I smiled a little. I did. I loved him. I needed him to know that. "Baby I love you too. I love you so much." Tony said and that was the last time I heard Tony Perry, my lover, my protector...

My everything.
