-Chapter 12-
We start driving to Rita's. It was silent for a little while. It wasn't an awkward silence or a weird. It felt kinda nice.
This silence was interrupted when Tori said "Can I tell you something?"
I answer with "You can tell me anything Tori!"
"You promise you won't get mad?" She has a serious look on her face.
I get a scared look on my face and say "O-ok,"
"Ok" She says "Noah really did talk to me about you," She says keeping her eyes on the road. But I look up with wide eyes. They have fear in them.
She continues, "He asked where you were. He said he was getting really worried about you. He knew you never get sick and if you do it's only something like the sniffles or a little cough," She still hasn't looked at me.
I am scared out of my mind. I can't even think.
"Are you ok?" She asks with fear in her voice. That's the moment I realized I was breathing heavy unsteady, shaking, and my heart was racing. An anxiety attack.
"W-what did y-you s-say?" I ask. My heart is beating an unhealthy speed at this point.
"Calm down Rikki! You need to calm down!" She finally looks at me with wide eyes and she has as much fear in them as her voice.
"I'll be f-fine," I say shakily "What did you say?!" I wheeze after that.
"I told him over the weekend we went to a restaurant and you ate bad meat and got food poison! Now calm down please!" She is really scared.
That didn't help me at all. It just made it worse. I am wheezing and I'm barley taking in air. Noah talked to Tori about me! He could have said anything! He could have told her about what happened at his house! What if he did?! What do I do then?
I bring myself to say "Did he say anything else?"
"No. Why?" She asks.
"No reason," I say looking out the window.
"Ok. I'm sorry. This was to make you happier and I just made you have a panic attack,"
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault," I say putting my hand on her shoulder.
She changed the subject by saying "We are here,"
I look out the window and we are driving into the driveway. "Oh ok,"
When we get out of the car we wake up to the window to order.
"What are you getting?" I say look at menu even though I know what getting.
"A chocolate custard with rainbow sprinkles!" She always gets that "How 'bout you?"
"A mango icee!" I always get this kind. It's my favorite.
An employee comes over to the window and says "Hello! Welcome to Rita's! What can I get-" She stops and I look at her.
My eyes widen and I say "Lexi," My heart starts beating faster and faster. She is my biggest fear right now. What if she knows?
"Oh! Hi Lexi," She says pulling money out of her purse.
Lexi gives a very forced smile and says "So what will it be?"
"I'll have a chocolate custard with rainbow sprinkles And she will have a mango icee," She says handing Lexi a ten dollar bill.
"Your change is $4.45," She says handing Tori the change. Lexi walks away for a minute and gets the order.
"Thank you for coming," Lexi says handing me the receipt.
"I didn't pay Lexi," I say.
"That's fine," She says giving me an evil grin.
When we get in the car I start eating my icee and then I look at the receipt.
It says "NOAH SAYS HE HATES YOU SO MUCH! >:)" What?! He said that?! No! He couldn't... He didn't...
Tori looks at me and says "Is something wrong?"
I look up and say "No! I'm fine!" I say sounding happy even though I'm scared and sad.
"Ok," She says relieved.
Wait I just remembered Tori said Noah talked to her and asked about me. She said he was worried. He couldn't have said he hates me. Unless Tori lied to me.
