tori's pov
i thought about what brandon told me a lot, and i decided to try to talk to nick. to see if i could really hear how he feels and why he feels that way.
i decided to pull him aside at the party and talk to him.
"hey nick can we talk?" i asked
"um i'm kinda busy right now."
"oh."
based on his tone it was obvious he didn't want to speak with me. i used his harsh response as a reason to go home. i walked out without saying anything to anyone, i went straight to my car. i sat in my car and put my head down on the steering wheel. i felt like maybe nick and i aren't suppose to be together. there was always so many problems.
i went home and ignored all the text messages i was getting from brandon and lydia. nothing came through from nick yet, figured he didn't even notice i was gone. he usually doesn't when he's partying like that. i didn't feel like talking to anyone to be completely honest. i just sat alone in my house, staring at nothing and thinking.
was this life i'm living really worth it, i decided it wasn't. i decided i was done, this place wasn't meant for me. i packed only necessary things i would need, and put them in my car. tears welled in my eyes but i tried to push through it. i didn't know exactly where i was going but it was away from here.
as soon as i was about to pullout of my driveway nick's car pulled in. he got out of the driver's seat and knocked on my window, i rolled it down to hear what he had to say.
"tori, i'm so sorry."
"for what nick? you treat me that way all the time i figured you'd think it was normal."
"that's not true, i know i was a dick and i'm sorry."
"you always say you're sorry but i never believe you."
"where are you going?"
"away."
"tori please don't do this, i love you."
"if you loved me you should've acted like it."
"but i can't do this anymore, i'm tired of feeling like a burden to you nick. so i'm leaving and you're not stopping me. i'm done playing this little game you like to think is love."
"so move your car so i can leave."
"i'm not doing that tori, i'm not letting you leave."
"i'm leaving whether you like it or not."
with that i drove through the grass and managed to get out of the driveway. that's where it ended, the life i needed to leave behind. it ended with nick.
