Heaven Above (A Tony Perry Fanfic)

Chapter Nine

Pulling my coat tight around me I ducked my head and ran into the rain. I was soaked instantly and I sighed inwardly. Why was it always raining? Unlocking my car I climbed in quickly and started the engine. Come on baby! I silently pleaded my car to start. Yes! I fist pumped as the engine caught and I pulled from the car park. Driving through the rain I thanked God work was over for another night. It had been a long shift, and throughout the night something had been nagging at me. I was forgetting something, and I knew it. Oh whatever, if I'd forgotten it obviously wasn't that important. Pulling into my driveway, I took a deep breath and slipped from the car and sprinted to the front door, unlocking it and slipping inside. Flicking on the lights I tossed my bag onto the table and stumbled up the stairs to my room. Getting undressed I turned the shower on and got in, letting the hot water ease the tension of my night at work. Turning off the shower I towelled my body dry and wrapped my hair in a towel. Jogging to my wardrobe I pulled on underwear, a pair of blue and white pyjama shorts and my black 'I Like Cats' crew neck sweater. Walking downstairs I flicked on the kettle to make a coffee and jumped over the couch, turning on MTV. Suddenly a knock on the door made me jump. Who in Gods name was at my house at ten thirty at night? Walking to the door I opened it on a grinning Jaime.

"Tori!" He cried throwing his arms around be in a bear hug.

"Ah hi", I said confused, patting his back awkwardly.

Looking over his shoulder, he was the leader of a group. Standing behind him were Tony, Vic, Mike and oh my gosh!

Kellin Quinn was standing at the back of the group talking to Vic. I may not have been familiar with Pierce The Veil but I sure as hell knew who Kellin Quin and Sleeping With Sirens were.

Tony flashed me a sheepish smile as Jaime let me go, "Hey."

"Hey", I said with a smile and I remembered what I was forgetting, I had invited Tony over tonight, though I thought it was only Tony.

"Hey guys", I said nodding at the rest of the group.

"You weren't expecting us were you?" Asked Vic with a smile and I shook my head, "I didn't believe him when Jaime told us it was an open invitation."

I shrugged, "Don't worry about it. I'm in the mood for a party."

"Good cause that's what we brought", answered Mike, holding up the bottle of tequila he had in each hand.

Suddenly I realised that the five boys were standing on the porch in the rain, moving from the doorway I ushered them inside, "Come in! Come in!"

They filed inside and looked around, "Nice place", someone commented.

"Thanks", I replied, looking up at Tony who had walked over to me.

Suddenly he had swept me into his arms and was kissing me gently. Pulling away I giggled and hugged him tightly.

Letting me go Tony motioned to Kellin, "Tori, meet Kellin Quinn. Kellin this is Tori my-"

Tony trailed off and I looked up at him then back to Kellin, "Yeah we haven't really figured that one out yet.

Kellin laughed and shook my hand, "Hey Tori. That's cool be whatever you guys wanna be."

I grinned at him before turning to the rest of the guys, "Lets party!"

Within seconds of my words, a drink was shoved into Tony and I's hands and music was blasting through the house.

Turning to Tony I grinned, "I'll be honest I totally forgot you guys were coming over."

He smiled back as I took a sip of my drink, "I thought you looked a bit shocked. Sorry about them. They sorta invited themselves."

"That's cool. I don't mind", I shrugged.

He glanced around at my house, "Do you live here alone? It seems a big house for one girl."

"Well my older brother's supposed to live here too but he pretty much lives full time with his girlfriend so I have the place to myself like 95 per cent of the time. It's cool cause he still pays the rent, I just buy the food. Plus I can have people over like whenever I want", I grinned.

I had a pretty sweet deal worked out with my brother. We had always been close Wren and I, ever since our parents died we'd banded together.

"Jeez that's a real good deal", Tony laughed taking a mouthful of his drink.

"I know right", I laughed, noticing Tony looking down at my pyjamas and striking a pose.

"Hot", Tony nodded wrapping an arm around my waist and kissing my cheek.

I felt the colour flood my cheek and looked out around my living room. There was a countdown on MTV and someone had turned it up so the music flooded my house. Kellin and Mike were talking loudly by the breakfast bench, which had been turned into a makeshift bar with Vic and Jaime dancing around it.

Laughing at them I turned to Tony, "How do you put up with them?"

"With a lot of effort", he laughed, "Nah, it's not that bad. They make life interesting."

I laughed, "I bet they do."

Upending my cup I swallowed the rest of my drink and smiled up at Tony, rocking onto my toes to kiss him on the cheek.

He blushed and dropped his head, "What do you want to do with your life Tori? I mean you can't want to work at Sombrero's forever."

"Oh but I do", I said sarcastically, "I've realised that serving moderately priced Mexican food is my calling."

He laughed and it made me smile.

I shook my head, "No in all seriousness I'm studying photography and want to be a music photographer."

"Really?" He asked and gave me a peculiar look.

I nodded, "Yep."

"Let's play a game!" Jaime yelled suddenly.

Everyone looked up at him.

"What sorta game?" asked Mike, leaning on the counter.

"Truth or dare", Jaime grinned mischievously.

Mike grinned, "I'm in."

"Me too", said Kellin and Vic at the same time.

All eyes were then on Tony and I, looking up at him, he looked down at me and nodded, "We're in."
