I walked up to my room after talking with Ian and sat on the window seat staring into the darkness of the night. I was consumed by it deep in thought. Someone touched my shoulder causing me to scream, Drew. "Drew what the hell?" I yell as my hearts racing out of control. "Please Tori, forgive me." Drew begs looking into my eyes. I break the gaze and look towards the door where Harry stands. He nods at me. Drew, you can stop trying you're off the hook. The baby is Harry's." I lie. Drew's eyes go wide as he looks from me to Harry. "I don't care Tori. I want to be with you. I love you, and I'll love this baby even if it's not mine." he says grabbing my hands. "You still get my heart racing" I say to him as I look down, "but I don't want to get hurt again. I'm sorry." I say s I walk past and out of my room to the bathroom. I let out my tears and they fall down my cheeks. I thought I was too in love to let go, but I'm not. I'm strong enough to let go. Harry and Ian knock on the door frequently checking on me, but I never answer nor come out at least not for the rest of the night.
I walk out of the bathroom to go to my room to change when I trip on something, someone; Harry. What the hell? He wakes up immediately. I give him an apologetic smile and hurry to my bedroom to change. I change into my running clothes and head downstairs towards the back to go run on the beach. I start out walking down the beach, but begin running as soon as I feel the annoyance creeping in a begin to sprint down the beach. I run for what feels like hours, which ended up being 3. I don't know if I want to go back to the house yet, so I sit down in the sand watching the waves crash onto the sand. "Beautiful, isn't it?" a voice said behind me startling me. I nod and try to smoothly recover from my small jump. "Sorry, I'm Landon." he said smiling at me and holding out his hand. "I'm Tori." I say with a small smile. I stand to my feet looking at my watch. Damn, it's already four? "I have to go, uh I'll see you around." I say as I start walking towards the beach house.
I walk in the house grabbing my phone off the counter I had 20 missed calls from Drew, 15 missed calls from Audra, and 35 missed calls from Allie. What the hell is going on? Ian and Harry were nowhere to be found they must've gone to the store. I hurried to call Allie, but she didn't answer. I rushed to call Audra next and she answered on the 2nd ring. "Tori! You need to come back to Beverly Hills. Drew needs you." she said right before she broke down into tears. "Audra, what happened?" I say in full on worry. "Luke died this morning." she said in between sobs. I dropped my phone and ran up the stairs grabbing my wallet and keys. I wrote a messy frantic not explaining where I would be. I ran out the door not even bothering to shut the door and got in my car as fast as I could.
...
When my flight landed I renter a car and drove to Drew's as fast as I could. I jumped out of the car and ran into Drew's house and down the stairs to his room I hugged him tightly the moment I saw him, "I'm so sorry." I said as the tears began to fall quickly. "I can't get through this alone." he said as his tears fell. "You won't have to." I said tightening the embrace.
...(Four days later)
It was the day of the funeral, and Drew was being uncomfortably quiet. The silence was deafening. Audra came downstairs to tell us it was time to go. Drew was dreading this. We got to the church, and I grabbed Drew's hand leaning my head into his shoulder. None of this feels real. "I love you. " I said as I sat up to kiss his temple. The funeral ended and we went back to Drews. He sat in silence for hours. I stook up and kissed his forehead before walking upstairs. I walked up to Luke's roomand found Allie sitting on the bed holding a picture of them. "Allie." I said not really knowing what else to say. "This isn't fair." she said before breaking down into tears. I sat next to her pulling her into me hugging her tightly. I stayed silent as I held her. "Why would he do this? Why would he take Luke from me?" she screamed in between her sobs. I don't know what to do other than hold her and cry. This is a lot to handle. "Come on let's go home." I say pulling her to her feet. We walk downstairs and see Drew out the window as he sits on the porch. Allie walks down to the car as I stand in front of Drew. "I just need my brother back." he says as he breaksdown completely. I can't leave him here and I can't lie to him about this baby. I grabbed his hand, "c'mon."
