Learning from Mr. Spindle

9

I took her hands in mine and she finally meet my eyes. She looked back down and ask what do you need me to do first? Don't! I said to her but she just keep going, it's ok I just need to know how you want me first. She said I want put up a fight anymore, I will play nice just like Steve said too.

I was shacking by the end of her little speech and I grabbed her and said stop it now! Yes sir she said and I began to fall apart. Tori baby please listen to me I didn't mean to be late tonight I was at school and couldn't get here any faster.

It's ok she said I know the girls at school are better to be with they are not used up and a lot prettier without all the baggage. Then she said its none of my business anyway. No! I say a little to harsh but I couldn't stop myself.

Tori please hear me out. I was with the board over your class trip and it took longer than I planned. She didn't say anything or look up at me it was breaking my heart so I said Tori I'm sorry I didn't get her in time. She still didn't look at me so I ask her Tori please look at me.

She looked up without saying anything and I could see the loss in her eyes. Tori tell me what happen here tonight. No she yelled and Chad throw open the door just before Steve came running in. He went to slap her and I stop him.

No I paid for the night now get out! I yelled. Steve said I just want to make her be nice for you. She does what I ask now remember no one is to come in here when I'm with her unless it's one of my guys. No One understand me? Now get out.

I told Tori to go get in the bath tub and I would be back. I looked at Steve and said I want to talk to you. Tori got up and walk off to the bathroom without even a glance at any of us. I have to get her out of here before there no bring her back.

Steve, Chad and I walk to the living room and sit down I looked at Steve and said I want to buy Tori. I want to take her with me and I want her for just me. I'm not the kind of man to share with guys like that man that was here tonight.

Steve smiled and said you can't afford her. He laughed and said didn't you see what I got just tonight for her. I looked at him and said name the price. He laughed and said I will let you know my price but how about for now we make a deal. You give me twenty thousand and Tori will go home with you and stay for the next two weeks. How's that sound? Give you a little one on one time with her.

Deal I said without even thinking twice if it gets her out of here I will do anything. I told Chad to pay him and go upstairs and get some of Tori stuff together. Steve was so happy with the money he didn't care what we took or did. Then he just said I will call you at the end of the two weeks is up with my price.

I walked back into the spare room and told Tori to get dressed that we were leaving. She did as I said and we left her house without her saying a word. We get to my house, and I got her out of the car and I took her in and she just sit there not saying a word.

I told Chad he could go home and thanks for everything he did and that we were still brothers. After I lock the door I went over to Tori I picked her up and sit her on my lap and held her to me. In just a few minutes I heard her crying and I knew I could bring her back if she just try's to help a little. I held her till she stop crying then she looked up and said you didn't come and he raped me again I'll never be safe from him.

She said I knew not to get my hopes up that anyone would truly save me. I took her face in my hands and told her Tori baby I was late and I'm sorry but you are my world please forgive me for tonight. I will make it up to you some how just please don't lose your trust in me.

I told her she was staying with me for two weeks and then maybe forever if I can come up with the amount of money that is his price. She said he won't let go that easy he is just playing games with you. I know she right but I have to hope that by then I can bring him down.

After about two hours Tori finally calmed down and said she was sleepy so we went to bed and I held her close all night.the next morning I got up and called Tony.

I sent Tony and Billy over to Tori's house to get her car so she could get to school. I can't just show up at school with her in my car. We got dressed and I left first. Tori is suppose to come within the hour.

Two hour and a half later and Tori finally walks in blood running down her face and mouth. I pulled her in my class room and called John to come over now, before anyone else could see.

When John gets there she tells us that Steve blocked her at the stop sign and told her he would kill her if she messed up his deal with this gang. He didn't rape her this time thank goodness but he had beat her pretty good and told her not to tell or she was died.

We got Tori clean up and John said he was going to try and set up a bust at the house as soon as he could but it might take a while. We had my room locked so he could ask her about the blood. So I knew we were safe I took Tori in my arms and I kissed Tori and told her we would make it work.

Yes I know I'm at school I shouldn't kiss her but the headmaster and all the teacher knew I was in there with a policeman and a student so they won't think anything will happen.

The teacher and the headmaster just believe I was the first to see her and called for help they don't know Johns part of my gang. Or that she is the love of my life.

John told Tori to say someone with a hoodie on jumped her on her way to school and that she didn't see their face. We can let it get out that it's here stepdad yet. I took Tori in my arms again before I let John leave I needed to make sure she was going to be ok.

John said he had to leave before people started asking question. I thank him and he left. The rest of the day went by slow. I just want to be home and hold my baby in my arms. After school I had to stay for another meeting so I called the guys and Tony said he would come follow her home and Billy and Chad would wait with her there till I got home.
