One week later.
Friday.
"Okay hold on, he came here to see you...and your just telling us now?! Lovely I see a pattern here" Hanna sat back on Tori's sofa and folded her arms, seeming a little annoyed. "Okay, this is why I didn't tell you" Tori stood in front of her and also Spencer. "No, because we wouldn't be as pissed off. If you told us earlier! Like when you ran into him" Hanna looked up at her. "...First of all, I'm not pissed off in any way, I'm just a little more confused as to why...he came here" Spencer nodded, as she looked at Tori.
"He wanted to talk, apologize, the usual" Tori shrugged. "So basically, he came here to be an asshole, ' apologize ' and bring up everything from the past instead of moving on" Hanna nodded, making Spencer sigh. "What? Come on, seriously! He's a fucking idiot Tori, he cheated on you and didn't tell you. Then had the cheek, over a year later to turn up on your door step and ' beg for forgiveness ' " Hanna sat up.
"I haven't forgave him!" Tori shook her head and closed her eyes. "Then why did you let him in?" Hanna asked. "Because he barged his way in and when I was going to throw him out...he said he, felt bad and I..." Tori looked at her friends. "Pulled the innocent act and made you feel guilty" Hanna told her. "No...!" Tori spoke up. "Please, Tor. Sweetie...I love you, but you can be a little gullible" Hanna nodded. "Which is weird because...you used to be like that before you dated Michael." Spencer perked up.
"Dated, ha!" Hanna scoffed quietly and sat back. "I was not gullible!" Tori frowned. "You kinda were. Sorry honey but...not all the time! Just sometimes, with certain things or people. Yeah your a bitch, in a good way but sometimes you let your heart take over...even if it wasn't right" Spencer admitted, as Hanna nodded. "Like a lot of the time with Mr Asshole" Hanna told her. "Your forgave him, time and time again" Hanna sighed. "I'm sorry...how many times did he cheat?" Tori asked, unaware.
"Very funny. I'm talking about all the time. Either he went off on one and was a complete dick, he went out drinking and partying before sticking his tongue down some girls throat...sleeping with her or whatever. Or basically talk sexually about anything, and you argued...he left, you sulked, he came back and you forgave" Hanna spoke all in one. "Time and time again...you fucking forgave him" Hanna told Tori.
"I'm sorry, is this gang up on Tori day?!" Tori asked starting to get a little annoyed. "No, shut up" Spencer turned to Hanna, and told her as politely as she could. "When does anyone ever listen to me?" Hanna scoffed and sat back. "Coming from your relationships, I think Tori is old enough to trust herself" Spencer told Hanna. "What?" Hanna narrowed her eyes to Spencer. "Can we not turn this into an argument?" Tori sighed, walking backwards and sitting down in the single chair.
"Because of him. Arguing again, he's poison. That cheating, bastard!" Hanna spat out. "Okay, you have to calm the fuck down." Spencer held Hanna's arm from going up and down and all over the place in slight anger. "First of all, you didn't really know him. Or he, it was just Tori" Spencer told her. "Uhhh hello?! He was an idiot in school, and he cheated! Whats to not get about the fucker?" Hanna asked. "Mmmmm" Tori spoke groaned to herself as she rubbed the sides of her head.
"Tori...!" Spencer tuned to Tori, but was still talking to Hanna and some to Tori. "...Isn't a silly little girl. She was and still is perfectly capable of looking after herself when it comes to guys" Spencer told them. "Then why do you want to give the drink a try?!" Hanna asked Tori. "Don't...go back down that road! I know things aren't great with Ryan but..." Hanna spoke. "Wait, whats going on with Ryan?" Spencer asked, still unknown to the situation.
Tori sighed and rolled her eyes as she pulled her knees up to the chair and into her. "Fucks sake. My life was going perfect fine, until I came back here and saw him! I knew I shouldn't have came back to this fucking loser town!" Tori covered her face. "Is everything okay with you and Ryan?" Spencer then asked. "Your life wasn't fine...you were miserable, intimately" Hanna sighed. "I don't need a guy in my life, to feel appreciated or loved!" Tori snatched her hands away from her face and looked over to Hanna.
"Woah, okay whats going on?" Spencer asked, officially confused. "Go on tell her. You might as well, you've told everything else" Tori sighed and looked at the girls. Hanna sat slightly frowning, in silence as well as the other two girls. After a brief moment of silence from the girls, Tori sighed and sat up. "I don't...love Ryan" Tori told Spencer. Nodding, Spencer half smiled. "I know...you told us" She told Tori. "No like...I feel nothing for him but...feelings as a friend" Tori nodded. "Oh...ohh...." Spencer caught on.
"Oh shit..." She spoke quietly as she sat back. "Yeah, now who's the complete bitch, with the cold heart...stringing this poor guy along?" Tori asked. "Okay, your not a cold hearten bitch" Spencer backed Tori up. "I've been putting this guy on a ride, for the past six months Spence" Tori looked at her. "Okay, have you had these feelings since you met him....or since you started dating?" Spencer asked. Tori thought for a moment. "No..." She shook her head. "He's awesome, don't get me wrong but...it only started happening around two, maybe three months ago. Just before I left Chicago" Tori told the girls.
"I mean...who even dates someone for six months and don't even say ' I love you? ' " Tori shook her head. "That's fucked up. I mean, a few months into...." She stopped and looked up at the girls. "What?" Hanna asked. "Nothing...I just feel bad. I don't even know how to look at this situation with Ryan" She bit her lip. The girls all sat in silence, thinking.
"Okay!" Hanna sat up. "Lets deal with one thing at a time...first problem to sort." She looked at the girls. "You obviously thought about this drink. Text him, and arrange a meet up. Lets go out tonight." Hanna clapped her hands. "Okay, first of all you just want to go out and party. Your not helping sort out anything" Spencer half laughed. "That's where your wrong Spence, I don't and would never party with Michael Clifford" She nodded.
Spencer looked over at Tori, who sat staring at the girls. "He probably gets drunk, and slithers in way into girls pants. Rubbing himself on any girl he can see" She mouthed him off. Tori narrowed her eyes at Hanna. Hanna was her best friend, and she hadn't forgave Michael yet but she wasn't going to bad mouth him like that. "He's not like that." Tori spoke bland. "He has a few drinks, and more or less...the truth comes out of him" Tori nodded, remembering back to times. "Okay surprised, but how about...who's up for getting him pissed and getting answers out of him?" Hanna smirked.
"What answers?" Spencer asked. "Why he did what he did, why he's an ass, why he passed on Tori like she's a piece of mud...if he still likes you..." Hanna turned to Tori. "No, okay. Not digging up the past again" Tori nodded sitting up. "If we go, no talking about cheating. Michael and I. Michael fucking girls...or RYAN!" Tori made perfectly clear. "Then what are we supposed to talk bout?" Hanna asked. "About our lives, and how we're handling it!" Spencer nodded, as she patted Hanna's knee.
"Whatever...okay, get clothes and makeup and come back here for six?" Hanna looked at the time.
3:48pm.
"Cool..." Tori sighed. "Lets go" Hanna stood up, and turned to Spencer. "When you call him, don't sound desperate" Hanna pointed to Tori. "Who said I'm calling him?" Tori asked, and shrugged. Hanna then nodded, before turning towards Tori front door. "God, need a drink for this shit" She whispered. "Be nice" Spencer whispered to her. "For him? Never" Hanna drew a look. "...Then for Tori" Spencer told her
