Tory's POV" Rya, I'm not going to ask if you're okay because I know you're not," he said softly and I stopped crying so I could blow my nose in the toilet paper." Go away!" I said after blowing my nose."I couldn't tell you myself," he said weakly." What?"" I knew about Rex and Isabella" Rage filled me as he said those words, I opened the stall and came out glaring at him. He seemed startled by how I looked but I didn't care." Why didn't you tell me?! How could you keep that from me? How could you!"" Because I didn't want to be the one to cause you pain. The kind of pain you're feeling right now - I didn't want to be the one to instill it."I looked at him and saw so much emotion in his eyes, he wasn't lying. I knew that me saying he only brought me pain hurt him a lot and I immediately understood why he didn't tell me.

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 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 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 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
