You Complete Me (Toby Turner Fanfic)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9(back to Toby's POV)

2 days later

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up with an empty spot next to me. "Tori's at work," I remember.

I check the clock, it's 11:38am. I get up quickly and find Tori's work schedule.

"Thursday, 7am-1:30pm," I say under my breath as I scan the schedule.

I take a shower and put on a Tobuscus shirt, short sleeved this time because Tori already knows about the scars and they're not that noticeable anyways. Tori freaked when she saw them, she bawled into my chest for a good 20 minutes.

Flashback

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Toby, let me see your wrists." Tori says softly and a bit shaken.

I pull away but she grabs my wrists in her small hands. I could easily break free but part of me wants to show her.

She pulls up my sleeves and her eyes start to water as she puts a hand over her mouth. "Toby-" she starts, with a gasp.

I pull her into a hug and embrace her, letting her cry into my chest.

"Why are you doing this?" She says, muffled.

Flashback over(I can't think of anything further -_-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shaking the scene from my head, I grab my wallet, keys, and phone and head out the door.

On my way to Tori's work, I stop by and pick up a dozen white roses, Tori's favorite.

I arrive at the mall at 1:20, rushing inside to hopefully catch Tori before she leaves. I finally find Forever 21 and walk inside. I search the store but find Tori nowhere in sight.

"Excuse me, is Tori here?" I ask one of the employees.

"Oh, she left about 2 hours ago, she only worked 7am-11am today. Her boyfriend came and picked her up." She says.

"What are you talking about? I'm her boyfriend." I say, confused and angry.

"Well, the same guy, Chester I think his name is, picks her up everyday from work so I just assumed they were together." She says, backing off a bit.

Fuming with anger yet also heartbroken, I trudge out of the store, throwing the white roses in the garbage on the way out. I drive home in silence, scenes playing through my head, clutching the wheel with white knuckles.

~~~~~~~~

I walk into the house and see Tori had just come home from "work."

"Hey babe, where'd you go?" Tori asks me, innocently.

"Don't 'hey babe' me." I say, biting back the urge to yell.

"Woah, what's up with you? Calm down, Toby." She says and she approaches me, trying to comfort me.

I take a step back as she gets closer. "Don't touch me," I state. "I went to your work today, you know." I start, a panicked expression showing on her face for a moment before disappearing.

"Your co-worker said you only worked 7-11 today. She said that the same guy, Chester, picks you up from work everyday." I continue, progressively getting more angry.

"Toby, I don't know what you're talking about. I just came home from wo-" she starts.

"Just tell me the truth. I don't want your lies, Tori." I say, biting back manly tears.

She doesn't say a word. She just looks at me.

"Just tell me...please. PLEASE." I say, my voice wavering.

"Yes." She says quietly, looking down.

Not knowing what to do, I start towards the door.

"Toby, wait! Don't leave, I'm sorry!" Tori cries out as I reach for the doorknob.

"Save it, will you? I'm sorry I wasn't enough for you." I say through gritted teeth and slam the door. I get into my car and drive off, not particularly aware of where I plan on going, just knowing I need to get the hell away.

*~~~~~~~~~~~*
