the truth about tori

Chapter 4

Toris POV

We were in the car driving back and I was thinking about how stupid I was to spill all of that I fucked everything up like I always do "Tori" I never knew her voice could go so soft "hmm" she grabbed my hand and held on to it "what are you thinking about" there were so many answers but I didn't know what to give her I was thinking about what I said my mom Trina Jade I didn't know what to say "I won't tell anyone about what you told me I know you probably didn't mean to say it.." well at least I'm not the one who brought it up "it's not like that I was just tired and saying stuff that didn't make sense" she obviously knew I was lying it's kinda Annoying that she knows how to do that she squeezed my hand "but what I said was true Tori I'll always be here for you when ever and no matter what" those words meant everything to me she truly cared about me we were in the driveway and she did something I never thought in a million years would happen she kissed my cheek "goodnight Vega" I blushed "night Jade" before she pulled out she put down her window "if you tell anyone about tonight I will kill you Vega" I smiled " no you won't" I winked and walked away I could hear her laugh as she drove off I walked in the house and my wonderful night with Jade was gonna be ruined "hey brat why the fuck are you so late" I froze I thought she would be sleeping it was 3:30 before I even got to answer I was thrown down the basement stairs well this isn't gonna go well it was the same old same old night thrown at the wall a couple times plates thrown being kicked and slapped then she came up to me with a smile and took a knife and stabbed the side of my kneecap and dislocated my knee she's never gone this far " you shouldn't have stayed so late maybe it wouldn't hurt as bad" she threw a towel at me and I was confused " oh I'm not gonna let you die I want you to suffer" I took the towel and held pressure until it stopped bleeding I had to pop my knee back into place and that was gonna hurt but it would hurt more not to I was crying already from the pain but I counted and pop my knee back in shoving the towel in my mouth so no one heard me scream it was 5:30 I had to get up in an hour but that's how long it was gonna take me to get up the stairs so I wasn't sleeping tonight at least I got some sleep at Jades I was right it took me a little longer then an hour to get up I sat on my bed and my alarm went off I still needed to cover the bruises and blood so got ready and covered what could be seen and went downstairs limping my mom smiled at me hugged me and whispered in my ear " stop limping and if someone asks you tried doing a backhand spring and fell oh and open your cuts from yesterday and add one line she pushed me back and I fell on the floor having no balance at all I nodded and went to school with Trina I got out of the car and tried not to limp but it was hard I don't think I should be walking on this oh well I got to my locker and Cat was there "hiiiii" I was trying not to get mad " hey cat" she jumped over to me "do you wanna know what happened to my brother he-" I cut her off " um I can't but Robbie said he really loves those stories he's in sikowitzs class god my leg hurt so much I wished she killed me yesterday it would have been better then living I thought I was in the clear but Jade came over to me acting like last night never happened in a way I'm glad " Vega my house tonight" she didn't even wait for an answer I went to class and the acting exercise was a secret and me and Jade were picked great more pressure on my leg we got up on stage "ACTION" Jade didn't even need to get into character "Tori tell me what's going on you've been acting weird all week" she looked as genuine as she did last night I didn't know what to say and I didn't even mean to blurt it out " I- I can't Jade I'm sorry it's to dangerous" she took my hands which made me lose my balance and I limped on my leg everyone thought it was part of the act as much I hope Jade did too I don't think that was the case "Tori who did that to you" looking at my leg maybe she did think it was the act " doesn't matter who did it" I don't know what I was doing but it's to late now and would look bad if I changed the subject " you were fine when I dropped you off last night" that's when I knew she knows that my leg is real only she knew I was at her house last night maybe I'm overthinking " It was dark and I fell when I walked in" she looked determined to get the truth " sounds like a lie Tori" what do I do I can say my dad so there's no way she'd know " fine ok I'll tell you..." she was impressed she thought I was being serious " what happened Tori" fuck her eyes I can't lie " m-my mom she hit me last night and I couldn't tell you she'll go after you or try and take me away" why did I just say that no no no no I meant to say dad "I'll always protect you" she knew I could see the hurt in her eyes I had to find a way out of this "and cut" that was amazing acting girls we walked off stage and I made sure I wasn't limping so no one would notice I didn't say anything to Jade cause somehow I know that she figured it out I sat down for lunch no one was there Jade sat down and looked at me with those beautiful eyes " so what happened to your leg" I practically spit out my water "w-what do you mean" everyone may think it was the act but I know it wasn't" I didn't show any emotions of doubt "and how did you know" cause I saw you favouring your other leg this morning the act was to see if I was right so what happened" shit " I was showing my neighbour how to do backhand springs and I messed one up" she didn't look convinced "at 3 in the morning when I dropped you off" I didn't think of that but thank god I had a save "yes Jade I thought a 7 year old gymnastics at 4 am no I thought her this morning while she was waiting for her bus" she still didn't believe me everyone sat down "I'll be right back" I left to go to the bathroom after reviving a text from my mother
