Chapter Seven

Ⓓaniel looked Victoria straight in her eyes, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Now, why did you come here?"

"I wanted to make sure you're okay. I know you broke up with Austin--" Which was a straight lie. It was the other way around. He had left her.

"No. We aren't talking about that."

"Tori, but did you kiss me back because you like me, or did you kiss me because you were sad?"

She looked away.

"Alrighty then." he stood up to leave.

"Daniel."

He lifted his hand exiting the room. Tori put her head into hands. Piper walked back in.

"So what happened?" Piper smiled.

"Nothing. I told him the kissed didn't mean anything, and I think he thought he did."

Piper starred at Tori, and shook her head, "Wow oh my gosh."

"What?" Tori pushed her hair back. "I honestly don't understand why I'm the bad guy. He initiated the kiss, and I was vulnerable," she got out of bed into her wheelchair, "Should I go apologize?"

"No," Piper flung her hands up, "let him cool off, actually let me go talk to him."

She left the room. Tori climbed back into her bed, pulling the journal Cari gave to them out from the drawer on her nightstand.

She open the empty page and started to write;

She closed the notebook putting it back into her nightstand, one of the nurses came in a little after checking her vitals, and then left. Tori slipped under her blankets closing her eyes to rest.

Piper knocked on Daniels door. It opened slightly she took that as a sign to just let herself in, Daniel had his headphones in, he layed on his back staring at the ceiling. He didn't move, Piper crawled onto his bed laying herself next to him.

"What do you want Pipes?"

"I just came to check to see if you're okay. Are you?"

"I'm fine Piper."

"Are you sure? I mean if you hadn't noticed I like to talk, and I'm going to wait here until you tell me the truth."

"Piper literally, it's okay I'm fine."

"Fine. Whatever you say. I talked to Tori, so I don't know why you're keeping secrets from me." she got up and headed towards the door.

Just then Maggie walked in, "What is she doing in here?" Maggie glarred at Piper.

"Don't worry I'm just leaving." she pushed her way past Maggie.

Maggie leaned herself up against the wall, "This is all kinda funny don't you think Dan?"

"Maggie, shut up please. You really need to stop obsessing over my relationship with Tori, not even a relationship, and don't worry about threatening me. She already knows."

"Dang, I'm impressed you must really like that girl," Maggie turned towards the door, "but I will find a way to put my plan in place with or without you." she smirked.

When Piper returned to the room she saw her sister Dani sitting talking to Tori.

"Dani. Oh my gosh." Piper ran over and hugged her.

"Hey!" Dani squeezed her sister.

"What are you doing here? Wait who brought you?" she pulled back.

"Yeah about that," Dani turned Piper around, her parents were standing at the door.

"Hey Elizabeth." her mother said.

"Rebecca. She want's to be called Piper." her father smiled.

"Kyle but her name is..."

"Mom, honestly if you came here to argue you can leave, I'm not in the mood."

"Alright fine. I came her to talk to you. We all did."

"I'll give you two some privacy." Tori said getting into her wheelchair and leaving the room.

"Piper, grandma is still sick very very sick." Danielle sat on the end of Pipers bed, Piper followed sitting on her bed, her parents took a seat in the chairs.

"Alright, thanks for telling me." Piper crossed her legs.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine Dad."

"So how have you guys been?"

"Elizabeth. Your grandmother is sicker." her mom snapped.

"Alright, wow, you're irritating me. So if you could leave all of you it would be very much appreciate, yes?"

"Piper, your mom is sorry," her father looked over at her "Rebecca honestly."

"Kyle." her mother said.

"Guys I'm pretty tired I'd like you to leave, thanks for coming."

"Are you sure you want us to leave Pipe?" Danielle smiled, "I want to tell you what's going on in my life."

"Maybe another day, have grandpa bring you up, yes? I miss him."

"Yeah, okay. I just am so busy, and today was my only chance."

"Yeah I'm super sorry about that Dani, but I just can't deal with them today."

Piper felt really bad but stress isn't good for her and mother is just a huge ball of it, they all left, and Piper pulled out her sketch pad waiting for Tori to come back.
