Bad Boy Next Door// M.E.

Chapter 2

Tori's POV:

I lay on my bed for a few more minutes before rolling over and grabbing my phone from the night stand.

I go through my contacts until I find Chassidy's number.

She answers after the third ring, "Hey Tori what's up?"

"Nothin much just thought I'd let you know that someone finally moved into the house next to me."

"Really? It's about time. Have you met them? is there a cute boy our age?" She asks with a light laugh.

I roll my eyes,"Actually there is, but I don't know how I feel about him. I kinda got a douchey vibe off him when I met him."

"What did he say or do that made him seem as you say 'douchey'" she says laughing at my use of words.

"I don't know, because he acts like one." I say while sitting up in my bed.

"How?"

" Well he said and I quote "We should get to know each other better if you know what I mean" or something like that." I saw annoyed.

"Well that doesn't make him a douche necessarily." She says and I once again roll my eyes.

"Well you know I don't stand for that kind of shit." I say with a light laugh before standing up.

"Tori, the new neighbors will be here any minute come down here!" I hear my mom yell from downstairs. I roll my eyes before answering her with an okay.

"Alright Chas I gotta go talk soon?" I say into the phone as I look at myself in the mirror.

"Alright bye!" I hang up the phone and stare at my reflection in the mirror.

I shrug at my appearance not giving two shits what Matt thinks about me as I stick my phone in my back pocket and shut my light off before heading downstairs.

As I near the bottom of the stairs I see Matt talking to my brother and his parents talking to my mom. Well his mom, I don't know where his dad is, maybe their divorced or something.

I snuck into the dinning room so my mom wouldn't see me and made my way to my seat.

When I walked in I saw a little girl who looked about 4 sitting in a chair looking at the ground. "Um hi? What's your name?" I ask her with a look of concern on my face. As I kneel down next to where she's sitting.

"Allie" she replies quietly.

"Hi I'm Tori, Whats wrong?" I ask and she looks at me with watery eyes "I'm scared" my faces scrunches in confusion as I look at the little girl in front of me.

"What are you scared of?" I ask with my eyebrows furrowed.

"My brothers girl friend is mean." She says in a soft voice and I'm still confused as hell.

"She hit me because I said she was mean." She stutters a bit and my face softens as I look at her.

"Where?" I ask her in a soft voice so I don't scare her cause my voice can be quite intimidating at times.

Allie pushes up one of her sleeves to reveal a light bruise on her upper arm. I gasp at the sight as I lightly touch it.

"Are you okay?" I ask concern laced in my voice.

She nods her head, "It only hurts when someone touches it." She says with a shrug and I frown.

"Did you tell Matt?" I ask and she immediately shakes her head.
