Living with him

Chapter seventeen

Storie's POV
I pull out onto the main road turn my radio up and drive. I drive for about ten minutes and I pull into the cemetery and park. I walk up the walkway between graves. I make it to a beautiful headstone with 'Starr Renaye Stevens' carved into it I sit down by it. With tears in my eyes I stare at her headstone. Her name as birth and death date carved in and under it says 'Gone but never forgotten'. I stare at those four words and think of how true that was. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. There's not a second that goes by that I don't wish she was here with me. Everyday I ask myself why her? Why'd she have to go? Why take the one I loved the most?
I read her head stone over and over again.
"I miss you so much, I tell myself I can't go on but I know that your up there looking down on me"I say smiling while tears roll down my face
"I'll make it to Paris if it's the last thing I do"I say wiping my face
"I still can't believe that your gone I know it's been a long time but I still will sit on the swing at the park and look next to me and expect you to be there beside me like always, I can't take it you not being here"I cry clenching my fist as I stand up
"Why you?! What did you ever do?!"I scream
"Huh?!? What did she ever do to deserve this! Nothing that's it she should still be here she was taken from a loving family for what?!? Heartbreak! She should be here! It should've been me!"I scream and punch the tree beside me as hard as I can I hear a loud pop noise but I ignore it I clench my fist. Tears streaming down my face my chest rising and falling from my quick breathing. I fall to my knees and sob
"You were the strongest girl I ever knew and you still are fly high my darling until we meet again"I cry
I stand up and take a last look at her grave "I love you"I say then turn and walk to my car and get in. I get my phone and look at the time it's six fifteen. I look an have ten text from Toby then seven miss calls from dad. I sigh and start my car and drive off. As I drive I feel pain in my hand but I ignore it. I pull up the driveway and see Toby's car I sigh and park beside it. I get out slip my phone in my pocket and slip my hoodie on to hide my hand then walk inside. I close the door and set my keys down then walk into the living room where their sitting and talking. Toby sees me first and jumps up and hugs me I hug him back.
"You scared me half to death"I hear dad says as he stands up
"I'm sorry"I say as I stand beside Toby pulling my hoodie sleeves down.
"Are you okay"dad asks looking me in the eyes then giving me a hug an I hug him back.
"Yeah"I smile
"Okay I gotta head in for my shift but if you need me you call me for anything"he says picking up his keys
"Okay"I say
"Toby your more than welcome to stay but I'm serious about what I said earlier"he says pointing at him
"Yes sir"Toby says I look at dad then Toby
"Love you"dad says kissing my head
"Love you"I say back and he goes out the door then I hear his car start up and pull out. I turn to Toby "so you had the old father boyfriend talk"I laugh
"Yeah well it was more of what he'd do to me if I ever hurt you or got you pregnant"he laughs
I laugh and turn to go into the kitchen when he grabs my hand. I squeeze my eyes an hiss in pain. Hoping he doesn't see it I take my hand back an put them in my hoodie pocket.
"Need a drink I'm going to get a drink"I ramble on nervously walking towards the kitchen.
"Storie what's wrong"he asks following me into the kitchen.
"Nothing why"I laugh nervously
"Why'd you wince in pain"he asks
"What are you talking about"I sputter nervously taking a drink of my water
"Let me see your hand"he says giving me a look.
"Why"I ask walking farther away from him then pull myself up on the counter and sit there with my sleeve covered hands in my lap.
"Because you winced in pain when I grabbed your hand now let me see"he says as he walks towards me. 
I shake my head and put my hands behind my back as he stands between my legs.
"Storie give me your hand"he says
"Well you see it's attached to my wrist so I can't"I say
"Storie"he says again raising his eyebrow.
I sigh and show him my hand but not the one that hurts.
"Other one"he says
I shake my head cause I know he is gonna make a big deal out of it.
He reaches around and grabs my arm pulling my hand out the. He pulls my sleeve up and it looks a lot worse than I thought.
"Storie what happened"he asks worriedly looking at me
"Nothing"I say looking at my hand where it's swollen and extremely dis colored with some cuts on it.
"Nothing? So this just happened"he says looking at me giving me one of his looks.
"Okay I may or may not have punched a tree"I say fast and quietly
"We're going to get it checked" he says walking to the counter and graving his keys.
"No I'm fine it's just bruised" I say
"No Storie your hand is broken now let's go"he says
"No I'm not going" I argue
"Storie lets go now"he says
"Toby no I'm not going"I say raising my voice I don't want to go I hate the hospital, doctors everything like that.
"You can either go or I will call your dad"he says
"Tattletale" I yell
He gives me a look then gets his phone out dials his number then puts it up to his ear. He talks to him an tells him everything then he nods an agrees to something then holds the phone out to me.
"No"I say shaking my head.
"Storie he wants to talk to you" he says
I huff and take the phone an put it to my ear.
"Hello"I sigh
"You need to go get your hand checked"he says
"Dad it's just a bruise"I whine
"Storie Paige I'm not telling you again go with him to get your hand checked and don't act like a child if he has to call me again I will take you myself and you will have a sore butt do you understand"he says sternly
"Yes sir"I sigh
"Okay be careful and call me when you get out love you"he says
"Love you"I say back and hang up. Toby holds his hand out for me I don't take it and hop off the counter. I grab my phone and go out to his car I get in and slam the door he gets in and starts the car. He reaches over and takes my hand that's not hurt and holds it I don't move it I hold his hand. We drive in silence an finally arrive at the hospital. It takes awhile for us to get in there because I argue and try to talk him into going home. We walk in and go to the front desk an he signs me in as I refuse to. We go sit down as dad walks through the door.
"What are you doing" I ask him as he sits beside me.
"I knew you wouldn't just come here an get your hand checked that you would argue and throw a fit"he says
"I'm not two"I say leaning back and folding my arms.
"We know but you act like it sometimes"he says as the nurse calls my name.
I shake my head and don't get up.
Toby takes my good hand and stands up but I stay seated.
"Storie you can either get up and go get your hand checked or I will take you in there myself an then me and you will have a little chat"dad says quietly to me.
I look at him then Toby then my hand.

What am I going to do?!?!? I think franticly
