The Gap Year

Chapter 10

Skyes POV

Tora walked into our apartment the next morning.

''Young lady. Where the hell have you been?''

''Up your ass. Why the fuck didn't you tell me you and Zayn are ok?'' She started hitting me with her handbag.

''Ow! Ow! Tora stop hitting me!'' She put the bag down. ''Thank you!''

''As I was saying. Why didn't you call me and tell me? Zayn called Harry when we were together and told him.Thats how i know.''

''Well, I didn't want to disturb you. I was going to wait for you to come home before telling you.'' She grabbed my arm and led me to the table.

''So tell me everything.'' She rested her chin on her hand.

''Well, I told him about Jonah. Everything.''

''Everything? The accident? Celeste? '' She looked surprised.

''He already knew that.''

''How?'' I gave her a really-is-that-even-a-question face.''Oh. right. Niall. So when you say everything?''

''My step father, my wrists, the depression and-''

''They way Jonah was there through it all.''

''Exactly.'' She understood now.

''So what happened then?''

''He made it pretty clear that he still objects to our reconciliation but he agreed to be friends.''

''You asked him to be friends? '' She looked confused.

''No. He said he couldn't imagine his life without me in it. so he wasn't going anywhere.'' The feeling in my stomach came back.

''That has got to be the cutest shit ever.''

''Tora what the hell is that?'' I pointed at the huge teddy bear by our door.

''Oh. The bear? Yeah Harry won that for me. Skye, say hello to Teddy.'' She carried the bear to me.

''The fuck? You named the teddy bear teddy?''

''Skye, give the bear a fucking hug ok?''

I gave the bear a hug and carried it in my arms.''Where are we going to put this thing anyway?''

''we'll find room for it.'' She took the bear into her room.

''So how was Brighton?''

''GREAT!'' she came out with s smile on her face.

''Alright. How many times? How many times did you guys do it?''

''None. We just talked.'' I looked at her incredulously.

''Cut the crap. How many times?''

''Seriously. We can hang out without having sex.''

''Not when you're not alone.''

''Well believe it. So I was thinking, we should go shopping? Just us girls you know. No boys, nothing. Just us.''

''We do need some alone time, and you need some clothes.''

''Shut up.'' Tora threw a pillow at me.

I was so glad things were back to the way they were before.
