Checkered Bracelet (Torm) [COMPLETED]

Chap 12

Tord's P.O.V

"Well this is surprising." I say sarcastically.

Well it really is, I mean. Right now dad, Paul is driving me to school. He rarely drives me there or rather he just doesn't. But suddenly he just offered it to me without me having to ask him.

"Driving me to school? Ha! Dad did you ate something?" I laughed as I glace over the passing buildings outside the car window.

"You brought your pills right?" Was only his reply, I honestly thought he'll reply with a growl or a sarcastic comment but I guess I.. thought wrong? I quickly straighten up knowing this is getting serious.

"Oh, uh.. yes.." I sweat dropped, I don't want to get yelled.. like when I was with my real parents. Silence filled the car for a good 2 minutes. I am literally sweating and I'm keeping my sight straight ahead, not even looking at him once.

He suddenly ruffled my hair, it made me jolt up from my seat. I guess he noticed how the silence was mentally torturing me. I finally had the courage to look over to him, he was smiling at me. I remove his hand with my robotic arm.

"Sorry about that. I made you remember some bad memories, didn't I?"

I keep my mouth shut and lower my head. He was right... When both of them suddenly give me the silent treatment I began to feel anxious because when I was still with my real parents. It's a warning that it's either they'll scold or shout at me when they give me the treatment.

I just look up to him, giving him an emotional expression.

"Don't worry Tord. We are your new parents. We are different from your real ones." He say before looking back on the road ahead of us. I was about to say something but he cut me off-- "We're not giving you the treatment they always lay on you." He say and quietly growled.

I scratched my chin and looked down again, "don't worry... I know that Dad.."

"Trust us on this Tord. We'll never hurt you." He say still not looking over to me but he squeezed my hand a little tight. I let out a sigh, "I trust you Dad. I trust both of you." I assured him. His grip on my hand softened. His figure relaxed.

I look at my robotic arm and fiddle some parts in it. It is still crazy how this thing was even connected to me. Too bad this arm doesn't have a gun installed on it. It'll be more fun and entertaining. Come to think of it. How did 'Tori'-- Ugh.. just mentioning her name makes me cringe.

That stupid bitch called me a fucking doppelganger well screw her. I wasn't planning on taking HER Tamara away from her anyway. But.. how was she able to equip a gun?

"Dad, I wanna ask a question about 'TORI'" I ask, making him turn his head to me and raise his furry eyebrows.

"How was she able to equip a gun?... I mean isn't that illegal or something? She's like the same age as me.. just.. engaged.. but how was she able to get one anyway?" Paul glanced over to me once before talking,

"Oh she was running a gang called 'Red Army' once, which was full of dangerous teens who has parents that either have some guns or allows them to do anything." He says as he takes a cigarette from his pocket and puts it in his mouth.

"Tori's parents or your aunt's, likes making weapons and stuff like that. So I'm assuming they gave her one. Probably for defense purposes. Why?" He asked looking over to me,

"No reas--"

"By any chance did she pointed it over to your head?" He ask, it made me growl. He chuckled. I look over to my robotic arm's tiny screen that displays the time. 6:14 am. Huh.. I'm gonna be early again.

"Did you know that when she was running her gang, she got a into a lot of fights with her now lover's gang?" He let out a genuine laugh, "They mostly get into each other's throats and fought. Haha who would have thought they'd fall in love. Must feel nice to be young and dumb~" he cooed before smiling.

"Wait, so they were enemies?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yep, your aunt Paula had to call me to settle down things a bit between the two."

Enemies to Lover's?

Tori and Tamara were enemies and now they're in love. Can love really start from hatred?

Dad looks up to the sky.

"Dad, I-"

"We're already at your school, Tord." He says and it made me flinched. I then look out the window and a few people were already walking into the school. I step out of the car and stretched my body.

Paul lowered the car window a little, "Be careful, Tord. Don't forget your pills if you ever start to feel dizzy again! I love you!" He yell to me that made people look at us and whisper. I clenched my jacket a bit tighter.. I feel more anxious now.

I wave goodbye when Dad took off to get back home and probably make out with Dad. I just shrug and proceed into the school gate.

People were still staring.. probably shoving stories up their asses about my scarred face and eye. I just brush it off and act cool. But I literally lost it when I saw Tamara walking up to me.

She had no piercing whatsoever.

Perfect. The one person I need right now.
