View MoreNate's POVIt's been almost three weeks since the police arrested big D. They said one of his closet associates outed him and got him arrested at his hideout. Rex on the other hand was badly injured and is at a hospital.Detective Mason told me to stay put for a while, so they could see if someone would come after me. Since then, I've been hiding at a crappy motel. He called me a week ago saying that the coast is clear, so he sent police escorts with me and I went home.I've been home for a week and I've not been able to speak to Tory. Apparently, she never knew that the headset she got me was bugged, but detective Mason did say he eventually told her.I really wanted to see her but according to detective Mason, she's been in a really bad place. Worried and paranoid that Big D would kill me one way or the other.I lay on my bed that afternoon wondering what I should do
Tory's POV" What's wrong?" I asked tucking my hair behind my ears." it's time for me to go Rya."" Oh..." I said sadly." Yeah"" I got this for you," I said giving him a headphone" It's got all the songs that remind me of you, songs that we both used to listen to when we hang out." He didn't smile the way I imagined he would when I held it out to him. He just sighed and pulled me in for a passionate kiss, the sound of people cheering made me realize that their eyes were still on us.Nate and I kissed passionately until he summoned the will to break the kiss. " I got this for you," he said handing me a silver necklace with a pendant. I lifted my hair, he helped me put on the necklace and kissed my neck before he whispered in my ear, " open the pendant".I turned around to face him before I opened the pendant and gasped before I
Tory's POVI looked at myself in the mirror and was grateful that mom put in my purse lip gloss and powder. Otherwise, I don't know what I would've done about my face that Nate hadn't spared from scattering kisses all over during our lovemaking." You don't need it, I told you"" Nate just because you don't see my flaws doesn't mean that other people miss it as well."" You have no flaws," he said with a smile as he used his hand to keep his hair slicked back before he got down from the car and went around to get the door for me." Let's get this over with shall we?" He said as he offered me his hand and I took it as I got out of the car." We're kinda late."" Well, that's not entirely my fault. You were the one taking your precious time sleeping with me ."" Let's go already okay?" I said, blushing as I remembered how I didn't want us
Tory's POV" Okay, now look in the mirror," my mom said and I turned my chair around. " Oh my goodness"" Close enough," Toni said with a smirk, her make up was done first and she looked amazing. Though she didn't want her hair curled up so she looked different, she still looked beautiful. She was wearing a long, black gown with silver patters and a silver necklace and earrings to match. She was perfect." Nate's gonna give the perfect word that describes you," Tia said as she sat on my bed and carefully touched my hair." I'll be downstairs"" Okay Mom" we chorused." Tia, why don't you wanna come with us for prom?" Toni said" Because I can't. My stomach's outing my pregnancy, marriage is what's on my mind now. Besides, I already did prom in the junior year so..."" You know, I feel you'll win this year - prom Queen."
Tory's POVThankfully, detective Mason got back before we left for prom. He just stood by my mom, looking at her with a nervous look on his face as she sat on the couch sipping wine. I was hiding by the stairs as I watched them." Valora"" Don't Mason, just- don't."" What was I supposed to do? I'm sorry I ruined your lunch with your in-laws to be but... I had to."" Just tell me what you found out." Mom said irritably." Brian's father owes Big D, apparently Mr. Tremblay isn't just some wealthy businessman, he has men who do dirty work for Big D, in order words he trains boys to become assassins for Big D's use."My mom dropped her wine glass and sat up on the chair." I'm gonna need you to sit down Mason."" Fine" Mason said sitting down." Go on"" One day, Mr. Tremblay thought to be
Tory's POVToday is a big day. Brian's family will be coming over to our house for lunch and my mom was very ready to ensure that everything was " above their proud standards" as she put it.I had already done my part in assisting my mom with the table setting - which she chose to handle by herself. Now, she's telling my sisters and I how to " behave"." This is just outrageous mom. You expect me to act like I'm some Barbie princess just because Brian's parents are British? They're not even royalty!" Toni whined." What's the point of meeting us if we have to pretend to be them?" I whined." Great point Tory!" Toni said, nodding her head vigorously while Tia just smiled." Enough! Whatever, be yourselves but don't embarrass me. I'm not going to let them feel like they're helping us by marrying us - neither will I let them think they're bette
Tory's POVI swallowed hard at the cold way Nate had spoken to me. What did I expect? Flowers and kisses?I sighed as I made my way to Rachel." If you don't give me a fucking explanation as to why you pulled that fucking prank on me, I'm going to kill you right now" I spat and the entire room went silent. Yeah, it's like that when I'm mad." T-tory, it was a game. Okay?"" You texted me that my sister was having an asthma attack! Who invented that game Rachel?"" That's what you wrote?!" She whispered to Zach and he cringed as Joanne sat on his thigh." YOU TYPED THIS?" I asked almost losing my mind to the extent of his foolishness." It was a game okay? I didn't even know who's phone it was." He said, visibly shocked by my outburst." What kind of game is that?"" It was Jake's idea!" They
Tory's POVIt's been a week and four days since Nate and I last spoke - yeah, I've been counting. Sure, I've been seeing him at school, nearly every day. As for Rex, he shows up at school whenever he likes smirking at me every chance he gets.Looking back at it now, I understood why I fell in love with him. He was perfect, he was handsome, sexy, popular and a nice guy, Rex had no bad side known to me and I really believed that he didn't have a bad side.Now, I know what he is and whenever I think about how we kissed or had sex, I see now that he was just using me, I was a means to an end.It was our last day of continuous assessments and I hadn't aced my exam today. I was avoiding Rex, he's been threatening me for some unknown reason.He keeps dragging me inside empty classes, telling me not to screw his plan up, and before I get the chance to ask him what he means he just da
Tory's POVI woke up the next morning to see Nate's perfectly happy and handsome face as he slept like a child. Yesterday was amazing, I lost count of how many times Nate and I had sex literally everywhere in my room. How we talked and played games and then slept all through the night - with Nate waking me up at one point in time for yet another round of steamy sex.It was perfect, but...too good to be true. I think that I'm going to fall in love with Nate and he with me but... I'm not ready to fall so deep in love that when he eventually breaks my heart, I'll end up being pathetic - quite like how Rex made me feel.I missed out on the fundraiser, I wouldn't have if I'd been strong enough to handle Rex's news. I needed to go back to my original plan for my good." Wake up Nate," I said as he started to open his bright green eyes and then he squinted at the bright light seeping through my room from the wi
Tory's POVI sat on his bed and nervously licked my lips as he entered the big, darkroom. The only source of light in his room was the TV which was on for some unknown reason. I have always dreamed of the day that Rex Holland would finally kiss me and more, it seems that day has come after all. " Do you want me to turn on the lights?" Rex asked and I nodded my head, I don't quite know how he saw me or if he saw me at all. All I heard was his smooth chuckle as he sat beside me and slowly kissed my neck wrapping his hands around my waist. My whole body ignited as his hands caressed my bra before he removed it and slid my top off. As I anticipated his lips locking with min...
