The Only One I Have Left

Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

Tori's POV:

I woke up to the alarm blaring at 6. School started at 8 and I was in much need of a shower. I walked into the bathroom and turned the hot water on I sat there and heard a knock at the door

"T-tori"talan spoke

"Yeah bud?"

"Oh nothing it's just we don't have any of our stuff here"

Damn it that means where gonna have to go back to the house.

"Ok well I'll figure it out go lay down and we can get food ok?"

"Yeah ok"he said

I jumped in the shower and let the water pour over my face. I blocked out the rest of the world and just focused on me. What was I gonna do? I just turned 17. Would they let me stay with talan. I could not get separated from him. I washed my hair and got out. I put my yoga pants and cami back on and walked out the door I still didn't have shoes on. Talan and I drove back to the house and I told him to stay in the car. I went to my room and grabbed the clothes on my dresser, my makeup bag, my shoes, and my straightener. I went to talans room and grabbed a Light blue button up, black shorts his black vans and his brush. As I was walking out I saw a picture of all 4 of us on his dresser and grabbed it I also picked up his phone and both our chargers I got back in the car and he was crying again.

"What's going to happen to us?"he asked

"I wish I could tell you, I just want you to focus in school today please" I said

We drove back to the motel in silence. I let him take a shower and I got dressed. I sat at the vanity and started to do makeup. I looked like a train wreck. I grabbed the concealer and brushed it over my blemishes hiding my freckles as much as possible, swooshed my rosy blush across my cheeks and applied a champagne color shadow over my eyelids, took a charcoal color pencil and applied a thick layer of eyeliner and swooned dark black mascara over my eyelashes. Talan came out of the bathroom all dressed and looked way older then he was even though he was only 8 his baby face seemed to mature over night. His Carmel blonde hair was sticking up in all directions. He was definitely taller then most 8 year olds.

"Come her lemme fix your hair"I said

He walked over to me and I brush his hair. I forgot to grab jell but found a travel size bottle in the bathroom I took my fingers and brushed then through his hair.

"I'm really hungry"he whispered

"Ok lemme fix my hair and then we'll go to the diner down the street"

He went and turned on the tv and I could here spongebob. I straightened my hair and walked out of the bathroom.

"You look really pretty" he said

"Thank you look really handsome"I spoke

"Can we go its already 7:15" he asked

"Yeah come on"

We jumped in my car and drove to get something to eat. By the time we finished it was 7:45. Talan and I go to different schools so I dropped him off first.

"Talan try to not think about everything. I'll pick you up when you get out. Meet me here." I said

"Ok thanks"

Thank god he gets out 30 minutes after me so it should give me plenty of time to get here. I drove to cajole and got schedule. My best friend moved last year so I had no one the first class I had was math. Great I hate math. I took a seat in the back and texted talan

Me- have a good day I love you

Talan- thanks sis

Mom had just gotten him a phone and I really couldn't believe it. But now I'm glad she did I looked up from my phone and noticed a familiar face walking in the door. It was Cameron.
