I typed in the four digit code once again on the little key pad, giving the machine access to my bank account to take the money out they needed for me to successfully purchase the items. Once the little light turned green I removed my card and smiled at the attractive boy behind the cash machine, "Is that it?" He smiled as his deep blue eyes sparkled, "I think so" I smiled as I looked at the different bag's I held in my hand, "can I ask a question?" he smiled wearily, "Sure" I smiled in return, "what's with all the clothes?" he asked looking into my eyes, "I mean, you don't have to answer, I just, you have such a dark look and you're buying all these bright clothes, it's a little different isn't it?" He asked, I could feel my heart beat increase for some reason, "I've been pushed around all my life, punched, kicked, I've had enough, I'm not going to be broken anymore" I smiled kindly at this strangers concern, "I'm Justin by the way" He smiled as he held out his hand, "Well Justin, I'm Tori." I smiled as I shook his hand.

Once me and Justin traded numbers I walked to my car and placed the bags in the back with the rest of the bags that were over flowing my car. I climbed into the drivers side of the car and put the keys in the ignition, the car rumbled to life before allowing me to drive to my destination.

I opened the front door and sniffed, Joann's been cleaning again. After I placed all the bags in my room after many back and forward trips to my car and back. I flopped onto my bed, feeling the silk beneath my fingers and sighed before sitting up and looking around at the bags filling my floor. 

I walked down stairs with a smile on my face, as soon as I entered the kitchen the three bodies turned and faced me causing me to smile a little brighter before walking towards Joann. "Joann, do you have any boxes I can use to put some things in storage?" I asked with a smile on my face, "sure" she replied mimicking my smile but with obvious concern behind her eyes. I smiled as she disappeared to gather some boxes I could use, "hey" I smiled at my two best-friends who most likely thought I was going insane, "Tori, what are you doing?" Trisha asked with concern dripping from her voice, "I'm fixing myself, first starting with my appearance" I laughed that she didn't click on sooner, "babe? are you sure you're not just going through something?" Alfie asked placing a reassuring arm on my shoulder, "no, I'm fine, I just... If  I want to be fixed, I have to look fixed first... I'm not letting anyone thinking I'm a victim anymore" I smiled before Joann came back in with 5 or 6 boxes. I smiled before taking them and starting putting my things in storage.
