Take Me As I Am

I'll Always Be There for YOU

-Hi guys! I know Ive been keeping you guys waiting on a new update. My apologies. I've been busy lately. But I'm back with the new chapter! 

Here you go! 

Tori's P.O.V.-

I hear voices. I tried opening my eyes slowly to a white ceiling. My eyes moves swiftly towards where the voices are coming from. The voices were, William, Stacy, Simon, my mom, and Mrs.Martinez. 

I moved a little to position my self, but I groaned from all of the pain.

"Oh my gosh, honey you're awake!" My mothe dashed to my side, as the others. "How are you feling, Do you feel ok? Does anything hurt? Do you need anything? Are you feeling any pain? Do-"

"Mom, I'm fine." my voice came out a little hoarse. 

"We were so worried about you sweetheart. You've been asleep for quite some time," she said as she passed me a glass of watr. I chugged down the water in one gulp. 

"Asleep? For how long?" I asked confusingly.

"For about a week now. We thought you weren't going to get up. The doctor even said you were severly attacked with all of your injjuries." My mother explained to me. 

"Speaking of  the doctor, don't you think we should call him to check up Tori since she's awake?" Mrs.Martinz asked.

"You're right. I'll go get one now." My mother said before kissing my forhead and then leaving the room. 

"I'll come as well." Mrs.Martinez said. She too left the room. 

"OMG Tori! You scared me nearly half to death. I seriously thought you weren't going to wake up." Stacy squealed while crushing me into a hug.

I groaned from the pain, and she backed away saying, "Oops, I'm so sorry Tor. I forgot you were all bruised up." she said witha sad look in her eyes.

"It's okay Stac, these things happens." I shrugged it off. Then something came up to my mind and I said, 

"What happened to Jake?" I asked in barely a whisper.

"Well, when Will found you guys in closet, he took care of Jake. Without getting into trouble. But during the week, in school, he look really sad and distraught. Like he regretted what he did to you. Stacy made it even worse by yelling at him." Simon said while shaking his head at Stacy.

"Hey, don't blame that on me. He had what was coming for him when decided to ABUSE my best friend. Hmph!" She said pouting and crossing er arms together. 

I chuckled and said, "It's okay Stacy. It did what you thought was right. And that deserves a hug. But be careful" I opened my arms with caution. Stacy leaped intomy arms but in a slow manner. 

"Hey, what about me?" Simon said while pouting his bottom lip.

I opened my arms a little wider and said, "I swear you guys are exactly the same. Come here Si." he ran to me and also hugged me with Stacy on my other side. I love my two best friends. 

"Knock, knock," someone said from bhind the door. Then comes in a doctor. my mother and Mrs.Martinez.

"Glad to have you back Tori. I'm Dr.Walker." he said come to my right side of the bed. 

"Hi." I said timidly.

"Well, I'm happy to see you awake. If it weren't for this young man right here," he pointed towards Will, who was really quiet since I woken up, "you wouldn't have made it. Due to your head injuries. Which we had to operate on as quickly as possible. Which you lost a lot of blood but not a lot that will harm you.
