Chapter 18
Now this is Jacob Maver--->
______________________________
I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I'm so hungry. My stomach agrees with me when it makes its presence known. I sit up and look over to find Jacob not there.
Climbing out of bed I make my way to the hall bathroom and notice a new toothbrush on the counter. I open it up and get rid of that horrible morning taste. Once im done I make my way downstairs and towards the kitchen.
When I'm nearing the doorway I can hear Jacobs voice singing softly but loud enough for me to hear.
Yeah
Sunday morning
Rain is falling
Steal some covers
Share some skin
Clouds are shrouding
Us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold
That I am in
But things just get
So crazy
Living life
Gets hard to do
And I would gladly
Hit the road
Get up and go if I knew
That someday it would
Lead me back to you
That someday it will lead me back to you
That may be all
I need
In darkness she is all
I see
Come and rest you bones
With me
Driving slow on
Sunday morning
And I never
Want to leave
After he finishes the song I walk in. His back is turned to me. "You still sing very well." He jumps slightly and clutches his heart while facing me.
"Jeesh Tori don't do that." He says while taking deep breaths. Im just chuckling at him, I sit down and watch him get back to cooking. I admit that I check him out and I notice he has three back dimples that makes me weak in the knees. Thank goodness I'm sitting down.
When he turns around I avert my eyes and look down at my hands. "You okay Tori?" He ask while setting the food in front us. "Yeah I'm fine just thinking." I know he knows I'm lying but he thankfully drops the subject.
We start eating in a comfortable silence while just looking at each other. Once im finished eating I grab the plates and place it in the basin.
Looking over at Jacob I see that he's just silently sitting there, starring off into space. Deciding to do what any rational person would do, I grab the whip cream and smear it all over his face.
When I do he quickly jumps up in shock and wipes most of it off and stares at his hand, full of whip cream, in disbelief. "You did not just do that." He rather states than questions. I just smirk at him and cross my arms over my chest. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. What you gonna do about it?" I tease him in a baby voice.
Suddenly im being sprayed with whip cream and I screech loudly. "You did not just do that?" I ask him, while he smirks. "What you gonna do about it?" He mocks me and then runs around the kitchen table when I lunge at him.
I eventually find myself a can of whip cream and we start having a whip cream sraying war. The kitchen looks awful the walls, ceiling, floor, cupboards, excettera, are covered in whip cream.
He eventually traps me into a corner, while I'm begging for mercy he's laughing maniacally. I hate that he loves villans in movies! "Please have mercy Jacob!" I plead but knowing it's falling on deaf ears.
Next thing I know my whole head is covered with whip cream and the idiot puts a damn cherry on top just to piss me off even more.
I wipe it off and look up at him only to see him starring down at me intensely. I find myself doing the same. He leans down and just when our lips meet a loud shreek rings in our ears making the both of us wince. Shit, why was I going to let him kiss me again! Stupid Tori, you are not going to be played by him.
We look over and I honestly wish the world would just swallow me up right now. Natasha AND their parents are standing there looking at us, not at the mess, but us.
I feel heat creep up on my face and step away from Jacob. He clears his throat and greets his parents with a forced smile, knowing he's very uncomfortable right now.
"Tori is that you?" Mrs.Maver questions. I haven't seen them both in two years though I haven't changed much, my hair just got longer thats all. "Hi Mrs and Mr.Maver it's lovely to see you again." Just as Mr.Maver was about to speak he's cut off.
"What is this slut doing here Jacob!" She screams at him then turns to me with a glare to which I return. "Natasha watch how you speak to people!" Mr.Maver bellows. She doesn't listen though.
"She is! She just gives herself to anyone who asks." She says smugly, I feel tears threatening to spill but anger wins. Next thing I know Natashas on the floor holding a bloody nose and crying. I look down at my hand a see a little cut, I didn't go that hard on her. I look over at the parent's and they're glaring at me.
"How dare you punch my daughter you-"
"Enough! She deserves exactly what she just got!" Jacob yells at them, coming to my defence. "How can you protect her she's not a virgin, you know who she slept with-" Natasha says while standing up and hiding behind her parents.
"Would you shut the fuck up! Everyone knows you aren't a virgin either Natasha! You know exactly what your uncle did to me, which I did not agree to. And then you have the fucking audacity to use my money problems against me about your uncle, knowing that I work for him!" After my rant I punch her again then head upstairs to grab my belongings.
I hear footsteps behind me but im to livid to care. I can hear her parents yelling at her but I just don't give a shit. Once I reach the guest room, I grab my clothes and storm into the bathroom to get dressed.
I ignore the tears running down my face and continue to get dressed. "Tori open the door please." Jacob says sadly behind the door. I ignore him though. I stay in the bathroom until I know I look presentable. I open the door and just walk past him.
"Please take me home Jacob." I say, he silently nods and we leave the house. I ignore the looks of pitty from his parents' faces and just keep walking.
We drive off and the silence is tense and awkward. "Tori-"
"What Jacob!" I snap at him, he flinches back and I immediately feel guilty. "I just wanted to know where Darron stays." I look down at my hands feeling bad for just snapping when he tried to defend me.
"I'm sorry Jacob I had no right to snap at you." I whimper. "It's alright Tori. I'm sorry about my family and being honest I don't even want to consider Natasha as family." He chuckles and I find myself doing the same.
I give him the directions and soon enough we pull up to the apartment block. "Thank you for letting me stay the night." I say when he walks me up to the door. "You're welcome Tori but I would help you no matter what, all you have to do is ask okay?" I smile up at him and nod. After giving him a goodbye hug I knock on the door once he leaves.
Not even 5 seconds later the door flies open and I'm pulled into a suffocating group hug. I can tell its all the guys while Jen is yelling at them to let her hug me and them just saying they're sorry. I roll my eyes and start to push them off me only to be tackled into another hug by Jen.
"Oh my gosh we were all so worried about you! Where did you go? Where did you sleep? Oh my gosh no one tried to kidnap you right?" I burst out laughing at Jens crazy imagination.
"Guys im fine I promise. When you all left Jacob found me and I stayed at his place for the night. So I was perfectly fine." They all looked relieved but Jen is starring down at me with a glare.
"You come with me right now missy." She says then walks to my room. Shit I'm screwed, don't know what for but I am. I look over at the guys and they seem as confused as me.
When I enter the room she slams it shut and squeals so loudly that im sure China could hear her.
"Shit Jen what ws that for?" I wince and rub my throbbing ear. "What happened between you and Jacob?" She says while making me sit down on the bed. "And don't you dare deny it! I am your best friend so I know exactly how you are when someone kisses you." I just stare at her in shock. "How did you know he kissed me?"
"I didn't but now I do." She says smugly. I groan and hate myself for falling for that so easily. "Spill!"
So I tell her the whole situation leaving out the parts about Dennis and this morning with me hitting Natasha. She told me the guys told her about the underground fighting and she's fine with it. She says and I quote, 'Maybe I can find a rough lesbian fighter'
My best friend is so weird. "So are you two a thing or what?" She asks me making it like the millionth question. "Jen you know how he is and I told him I'm not going to be one of those girls." I leave it at that and walk out the room.
The guys are watching TV and eating oreos! My oreos! "Hell no! Those are my oreos!" They all pale and I point my glare at Darron. He knows not to touch my oreos. "I told them not to touch it but they didn't listen."
"Hey you ate her Nutella so don't go throwing only us under the bus." Dalton yells at him with a glare.
"Ooh someone's gonna die. You don't touch Tori's Nutella. Bye Darron it was nice knowing you." Jen says while stepping up next to me. Darron quickly gets up and starts backing up when I stalk closer to him.
"I'm sorry Tori. I'll buy you more I promise!" I give him one of those crazy smiles. "I know you will Darron. You're going to buy me five jars and if you don't im going to hang you from your underwear over a field of cacti's (Many cactus) by just a couple of your underwear threads. The same goes for you boys. I want three boxes each or else you suffer the same fate. Everyone clear?" They all nod and I just beam at them.
I sit down and see them relax but still slightly stiff. It stays silent for a while and I can tell they're dying to ask me something.
"Okay what do you want to ask?" They immediately jump into the one question I hoped they wouldn't.
"Tori why are you staying here with Darron?"
I sigh and tell then the short story of what happened. "My mom kicked me out thinking that those hickeys are there because I was selling myself just to pay for her medicine."
They gasp but don't comment which I'm grateful because I just want the subject dropped.
The rest of the day and night is spent pigging out on junk food and watching movies.
