Chapter 50

Jc POV

Seeing Tori broken down was one of the worst things I've ever experienced.

I hate it, Tori doesn't deserve any of this. The stress, it's too much for her.

I wish I could take all of it away, she deserves much more than she's receiving/ received.

A: she deserved a better home

B: she deserves a better lifestyle

C: she deserves way less stress

D: she deserves a better partner

But I know for a fact leaving her will do no good, for ether of us.

I huff and pick her shaking body off the ground, I kiss her hair and breath in her vanilla scent.

God I loved her.

I place her in my car and shut the door behind her.

I then look to Aaron, who was crumbled up on the side of the road holding his ribs.

I take a deep breath.

"Hey!"

He looks up, confused.

"What the fuck do you want?" he growls.

I roll my eyes and reach out my hand to him.

He looks at it like I just pointed a knife to him.

"I can get up myself" he hisses.

He stands to his feet slowly.

He goes to throw a punch but I catch his fist and throw it back down to his side.

"I didn't come to fight dickhead. I came to get Tori, and that's it." I growl and spin on my heels to walk back.

You try to be nice to someone and they go all Karate Kid on ya... how rude.

I silently laugh to myself.

I slide into the drivers seat and look to Tori, she's asleep.

I start the car and pull away, as I drive, leaving Aaron behind I see him pointing the bird at me and I chuckle.

What a loser.

When I finally pull up to
the driveway, Tori springs up and wipes her eyes.

"You ok, babe?" I ask her.

She looks around, confused.

"Yeah." she mumbles and lays her head back against the seat.

Little beads of sweat were on her forehead.

"Are you ok...? Why was Aaron on the gr-"

"You what I don't need your interrogation right now." she snaps and turns back to the window.

Damn.

She takes 2 deep breathes and turns back to me.

"I'm sorry, I just... I just have a lot on my plate right now. Can we just... go inside? I need a good nap before I can process everything."

I smile, I never mind her snapping at me. I wouldn't mind if she ran me over, as long as it made her feel better. Wait... not necessarily run over but you know what I mean!

"Say no more, it's fine."

I give her a little peck on the cheek and unlock the car, she climbs out and quietly shuts the door behind her.

Suddenly there's a knock on my window, I jump when I see Connor.

I open up the door and yell "You scared the shit out of me."

"I hope not literally, but is good that you have leather seats."

I chuckle.

"Haven't seen you in a while bud, how was Minnesota?"

"Good, mom says hi."

I nod.

"So what's with Tori? How much did I miss?"

I snort and wrap my arm around his shoulders.

"More than I can tell you in one day."
