The drive felt like forever, isn’t it weird how you can go from talking to someone and being together to being out of contact for a year to rekindling the relationship like it was never broken? It’s kind of weird how we came across; nobody had ever expected me to end up with him. He’s a jock, and I’m well I’m nothing. I’m not popular or anything in that department. I’m just Tori. “Tori, I think we just passed your street.” He said pulling me from my thoughts. I realized that we had and turned around to go towards the house. The closer we got the more anxious I became. I don’t want to see my dad or ever be in the same house as him.
I pulled up to the house and sat there for a minute. Its 10:00, maybe he’s asleep. I got out of the car and slowly made my way up to the drive way. I could see my light was on through my screen door on the balcony. I swear if he’s in there I will freak out. I walked up the driveway and up to my room ready to blow up, but it was only Allie so I calmed down a little. Moments after I’d gotten up there, Drew walked in. “Where’s dad?” I asked. Hoping he wasn’t here, but I couldn’t know for sure. “I don’t know, he hasn’t been here since I got here.” She said looking up at me. She’s been here all alone since this afternoon?
After a few minutes of this awkward silence Allie got up and went to her room, good that was getting extremely uncomfortable. I sat on my bed and Drew sat on the chair in the corner next to my guitar. He picked it up and started strumming the tune of my favorite song, make it without you. After a few minutes he started to quietly sing to the song, and I joined. I can’t believe he still knows that song. I must’ve made him listen to it at least a million times our sophomore year. “You still remember that song?” I say with an ecstatic smile. He smiles and nods.
I heard a knock on my bedroom door, but I chose to ignore it. I’m not going to take any chances on it being my dad, I’m not ready to even look at him let alone speak to him. Drew came and laid next to me on my bed and we sat in silence until he fell asleep. I grabbed my phone and went out on the balcony to call Morgan since I never showed up at her house. “Hey” I said when she picked up the phone, “Tori, you never showed up! What happened?!” she said a little too loudly into the phone. I hesitated for a minute then explained everything that had been going on the last couple days. After I got off the phone I went back into my room and went to bed.
I woke up and checked my phone, its 10AM I wonder if my mom’s home. I walked downstairs and looked out the window, there her car was. Finally she’s home. I walked into the kitchen and turned on the coffee pot and began to make breakfast for Drew and me, I got out the skillet to make pancakes and bacon, and boy will he love this. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and I saw my mom come down with a smile on her face. “Hi mom” I said with a small smile. “Making breakfast for me?” my mom asks with a grin. I look at her feeling bad and hand her the plate that was supposed to be mine, and take Drew’s plate upstairs. He’s sitting up on my bed looking at his phone with a nervous look. “I made you breakfast.” I say smiling at him. He smiles back putting his phone down. “Thank you babe” he says kissing my cheek.
I grabbed my phone clicking on the twitter app when Drew takes my phone and tosses it on the floor. “Hey give it back!” I say pouting. “You’re pouts don’t work on me Tor.” He says with a smirk. He kisses my cheek again standing up to take his plate downstairs. “I’ll be back.” He says disappearing from the room. Why did he do that?
Drew’s P.O.V.
I walked out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen to go put this plate in the sink, I walked into the hallway and heard Jen listening to the answering machine, the message caught my attention. “Hey Chad can’t wait to see you, I love you.” It was a voice of someone who wasn’t Jen. Shit. Tori had told me about some girl named Alex that had been her father’s mistress that must’ve been her. I walked in the kitchen clearing my throat and walking towards the sink.
