Chapter 35 Kidnapped

• Nate's POV
• The feeling of her body so close to mine made my whole body feel hot. Damn, she's beautiful. What the hell was I thinking brushing off her care like that. " Your what?" She said and I released her before that bastard called Rex comes here and makes me flip a switch on my calm demeanor." Disorder," I said, putting my hands in my pocket." It's called alexithymia, it's a -"" - I know what it is." She said passing her hands through her hair as the realization hit her." That's why you're such a jerk"" Yeah," I said chuckling." Does anyone know about this?"" Umm... Yeah"" Who?"" Jake, Zach, Rachel -"" - Rachel...no wonder" she muttered." Mr. Jenkins and my therapist"" Is the therapy any good?" She asked as she started heading for Spanish class." Yeah, so far. I mean, I just started going a couple of days back. Before I got attacked at school" I said following her." Oh... any idea who they were?" She asked with so much concern that I was startled." What?" She asked again, laughing a little. My heart started to race just because she smiled at me, I never thought I could be the reason Tory smiled." Uhh, nothing. Mr. Jenkins said he doesn't think they're students of this school and I agree with him. No one in this school would've dared to do that to me"" Oh... That's strange. So you just found out about your disorder?"" Yeah, after what happened with Rachel I thought it'll be best to get help"" Good call," she said before she said, " I'm sorry for all those insensitive things I said. I meant them at the time but I realize I don't anymore," she said and it took so much effort to not kiss her there and then.After all the horrible things I've done, she still apologized?! She's an angel." I'm sorry too. I was just confused"She smiled and said " you're not so bad for someone who can't express himself properly"" I still suck" she laughed and damn that made me so happy. If people weren't still loitering in the hallway, I would've jumped! I never thought that I could do or say something to make Tory genuinely smile." See you later. I've got Spanish class"" I've got Spanish too"" Oh..." Call me crazy but I think I saw a tinge of excitement in her eyes before she turned around and took her seat. I didn't want to get her feeling uncomfortable so I sat elsewhere. ********Tory's POVNate isn't SO BAD, he showed a lot of humanity today and he was gentlemanly, that was nice to see.Throughout the rest of the class, I was intrigued by him, how he seemed to be struggling with not being an asshole to people today. Did I make him do that? I mean, he did say that he saw a therapist after what happened with Rachel, so.... maybe this new calm attitude was because of me.He caught me staring a couple of times and I'd just shrug and he'd smile. Why did that smile make him look so innocent and adorable as a teddy bear? He looks cute and snuggly. There's something about this new Nate that leaves me confused.*******After school, Rachel, Janelle, and Joanne came over to my place to chill. We were in the pool having girls talk." Honestly, Jake is the perfect boyfriend. I don't know why I never dated him before" Rachel said as she sat at the edge of the pool with just her legs in the water." How about you Joanne, what about Zach?" I asked to annoy her." I don't know, you guys know he's bisexual right?" She said with a nervous smile and we shook our head as we moped at her in surprise." He is, he said it himself. Plus, I've seen the way he looks at Trent, so, I don't know if he and I could ever have a chance. Maybe the closest I could get to having him is the Date-A-Thon"" Don't say that, I'm sure you could get him to like you before then, besides the Date-A-Thon isn't a sure way to get your dream guy" I said and they nodded at Joanne." Exactly, Tory did this whole thing to spite Nate at first but this could be a good thing for some people. You might spin that wheel and the name you get is Zach's!" Rachel said smiling dreamily as we laughed." Yeah, use that day to get your man!" Janelle said with a wink." That's only if I get it," Joanne said with a sigh." Victorya!!" My mom yelled causing me to fall into the pool in shock as they laughed. The laughing seized when my mom came dragging Tia along." Mom, is everything okay?"" Why didn't you tell me that Tia is pregnant?!" I looked at Tia and she seemed to tell me to forget about denying it." I -"" You chose to keep it from me for what reason?!"" Mom what's wrong, I heard you shouting," Toni said, she was still in her uniform, I have no idea where she'd been." Where have you been!" Mom suddenly said and Toni frowned." I've been in school preparing for our test" " Oh really? or were you preparing to become a mom like Tia?" Mom said already losing her temper." What?"" I didn't tell her," Tia said as she folded her arms around her stomach. It was starting to swell a little." You're..... pregnant?" Toni asked in disbelief." I'm sorry Toni, I couldn't tell you because I needed time to talk to Brian"" Ummm....excuse me, rewind, did you just say Brian, like which Brian?" my mom asked popping off now." Our driver," Tia said nervously." Oh my God! Victorya did you know this?" I said glaring at me. I said nothing and mom just looked in the sky and gritted her teeth." Well then, there goes your future as a model ruined because you're gonna have a driver's baby"" Mom!" Tia said, tears gathering in her eyes at my mom's word. She has always wanted to be a model and mom had promised to help her get a gig but that statement meant Tia was on her own." Tory good job. Help your sister destroy the perfect life your dad and I was trying so hard to make sure she enjoys. That's just how you almost ruined yours!"" Wow mom, real mature thing to say, that's just the perfect thing to say to your daughter just because she fell in love with a great guy and is carrying an innocent baby! Great way to go!" I lashed out sarcastically." Don't you dare talk to me that way Victorya! Did I ever raise you girls to be so careless?!"" No mom, you didn't. You never raised us" I said finally tired of holding back the truth. My mom stood there completely shocked at my words." Dad raised us while you were away at your fancy meetings and shit that I totally understand you have to do so we can feed!" I said yelling every word that came out of my mouth." He was busy too, but he made time for us! Tia and Toni worship you because you're the mom they always wanted to spend time with but you're always SO busy!"" Tory, how can you say that?"" It's the truth mom" Toni said surprising me if there was anyone who sided mom the most it was her." You don't get to be home only once or twice a week and expect us to be perfect girls," Toni said with a glare.I got out of the pool, pulled Tia inside the house. She headed for her room and I headed straight for my room, slamming the door after me." Trust mum to find a way to blame someone instead of her to step up to her responsibilities!" I fumed as I took off my bikini. I wondered what Rachel, Janelle, and Joanne would be doing since we just left them out there with my mom. I found my phone on my bed and dialed Rachel's number." Umm, hello?"" I'm sorry Rachie, but you guys can hang in the pool if you want"" How can we do that when your family is in a sour mood. We are gonna leave, see you later okay?"" Okay, later" I said before I hung up. I gasped when I saw a text from Rex asking if I wasn't coming to see him at the arcade, anyone, like we previously discussed and quickly sent him my reply before I got dressed in matching denim pant and jackets, with white Nikes and rushed to have my hair dried up before applying some makeup and running out.
