Scooters New Act (Finished)

Chapter 21

tori's p.o.v.

I woke up the next morning from a restless sleep. I turned to my side to see jade wasn't in the bed anymore. I got up and walked to the bathroom to get ready.

after my shower, I went to my closet and put this on. once I was done I walked downstairs to see jade and Ryan in the kitchen.

I walked over to the counter and sat down. "hey tor, how you feeling?" Ryan asked. I nodded and slightly smiled. "listen you don't have to act happy around us, we obviously know what happened. so, its okay to be sad-" "just stop, okay, I'm fine. I don't care anymore." I got up and started walking towards the front door. "i'll be back later."

I walked outside and got in my car. I just wanted to be away from everything. I didn't care where I went, I just needed space.

I drove about two hours and ended up in San Diego. I got a hotel room and decided to just stay for the night. I walked into the room and laid down on the bed.

I was watching TV and it was now 5pm. my phone started to ring and I debated whether or not to answer. finally giving in I answered.

"tori! where are you? are you okay?" jade yelled into the phone. I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine. I'm in San Diego at a hotel. I'm staying for the night." I said. I heard jade sigh on the other side. "okay, be safe. i'll call you tomorrow." I hung up and got up from the bed.

I walked out the sliding glass door and out to the beach. I needed some fresh air.

I was walking along and found a good, quiet place to sit. I sat and just thought about everything.

what happened? I mean Justin and I were so good. in a good place. why did I have to screw it up because of a few mistakes? Ryan was right, I didn't necessarily have to break up with Justin. I didn't have to go to London for four months. I could have left at anytime. why am I so stupid? I ruined everything. now I'm stuck here with nobody and Justin has at least somebody. I should have known Justin would move on. just like I told him too. did I actually think he would wait for me to come back? yes.

I started to cry and put my head down. I wiped my eyes and looked out at the ocean. it was so beautiful and calm. I wish my life was like that.

I got up and stood there still looking out at the ocean. I felt arms go around my waist. I jumped and rapidly turned around ready to slap somebody. it was Justin.

I stood in disbelief. "how did you- why are you- what?" Justin smiled slightly and moved closer to me. I backed away, my feet now hitting the water. Justin frowned and put his head down.

"look I know you probably hate me and you don't want to speak to me, but I hate it. what we've become. what happened to us. I get it, I slipped up, but why would you leave me when I needed you most? I'm sorry but leaving was the stupidest thing you ever did." I cried harder and harder. he just stood there waiting for me to talk. I shook my head. "I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"what?" I looked up at him in the eyes. the first time in a while, his eyes were the most beautiful I have ever seen. they had tears in them, but he didn't let then fall.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry I broke up with you when you needed me most. I'm sorry I never called you. I'm sorry I never came back. I'm sorry I let you move on. I'm so sorry for everything I ever did to you. I am so stupid for letting you go. I love you so much it hurts." I fell down to my knees and cried into my hands.

I felt myself being picked up. I opened my eyes to see Justin carrying me back to his car, I'm assuming. I was set down in the front seat. Justin walked around to the drivers seat. "where are you staying?"

I told him where the hotel was then closed my eyes. we got back to the hotel and walked into the room. I laid down in the bed and closed my eyes again.

I felt the other side of the bed sink in. I opened my eyes to see Justin looking at me. he gave me a small smirk and pulled me close. he wrapped his arm around me and pulled the blanket over us. I leaned my head on his chest. to be honest, I was too tired to talk, so I didn't try to resist. I closed my eyes once again and fell asleep.
