[Song for the chapter: Same Mistakes- One Direction]

Ian's P.O.V

I've been walking for 20 minutes, which is longer than usual as I had to throw my head back every two minutes. I curse Reed every time my nose stings. Both my sleeves are bloody, taken out of context it probably looks like I murdered someone.

As I near my house, I let out a sigh of relief. Almost instantly, my eyes land on a familiar mop of blonde hair sitting on my doorsteps, quietly waiting for me. Subconsciously I scrunch up my nose out of suspense. Yes, I did invite her, but she never comes without calling or texting, and she did text me before saying she'll come after 5 or 6.

"What are you doing here?" I ask as I walk towards Tori.

"You invited me." She presses her lips together.

"You were not supposed to come right after school were you?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Well I came earlier than anticipated?"

"You didn't call or text to see if I was home?" I glare at her.

"Well what I was just about to say-" She starts.

"Cut the bullshit already."

"Okay, okay," She raises both her hands in the air, "You caught me, whatever." She quickly rolls her eyes.

"So..." I wait for her to continue.

"I'm actually here because," she looks at me with caution,"Harp sent me."

She must've seen the unpleasant look on my face because she doesn't wait for me to respond, "And," she fishes around in her pocket before bringing out a bunch of tissues, "she said you might need these and oh shit your nose." She reached out to touch my nose but I turned my face away.

"You only just noticed?"

"Yeah, I was too busy talking." She smiled sheepishly.

I sigh, "Well I don't need your help. Or Harper's for that matter."

"Hey, I'm not leaving until I fix your face."

"Yes, you are." I argue.

"So you're just gonna turn your Cupcake away?" She tilts her head with a small smile.

I raise my eyebrows at her.

Fuck. This. Shit.

"Fuck you." I roll my eyes at her adorable expression.

"Knew it." She grins.

She stands behind as I fumble with my keys, and finally open the door. Tori quietly follows me as we climb the stairs up to my room.

"Sit." She breathes out.

"You can't tell me what to do." I smirk.

"Fucking sit already you little brat." She huffs.

I smile, I love annoying her to the core. I pull out the office chair away from my desk and sit in the middle of the room.

"Now," She looks around, "where is the first aid kit?"

"Bathroom."

She strolls out of the room, giving me a nice view of that a-

"Stop looking at my ass." She speaks once she's out of the room.

"I wasn't." My face turns red.

"Can't lie to me Ian."

She returns and stands in front of me putting the first aid kit on the ground. Brings out a wet tissue, kneels down and starts dabbing away at some of the dried up blood.
