Offbeat Remix 2_The Sincere

Tory then made his way towards his bed having cried so much that his head was starting to hurt. He laid down on his back, eyelids getting heavier, he shut them. To find himself engulfed into the darkness of his dreams.

The dream had sat in a big dark cave. Hundreds upon thousands of people stood in it. There were two tunnels upon which everyone was split. Their faces were all blurred; he stood in one single spot looking around the cave.

Finally Tory looked up only to see a gargoyle like demon upon a ledge high above everyone else. The demon stared straight at him, with red orb like eyes. Emitting an aura out of this world.

Tory began to freak out and started towards the tunnel that was right in front of him. He suddenly stopped in front of the doorway. Having a slightly weird feeling, he turned his head to his right, where the other tunnel was. He noticed a raven haired boy staring right back at him, same position that he was in. They both stood up straight, still looking up at each other. Then, before they could even walk towards one another, the people that stood behind them started to push them into the tunnels that they stood before.

Tory and the boy tried so hard to push back and make their way out the tunnels, but it was too much. The pressure had caused them both to give up. That is, until two mysterious figures had came up to both of them. Holding out their hands and guiding them through the crowd. But then a big rocky door began to close the tunnel up. They were both almost out, but with that door closing they had to think, fast!

Right then and there, the figures then took both of them into their arms and floated above the people that stood in the way of the door, making it out just in time.  The figures then dropped them both outside of the doorways, setting them down so they both would be facing each other. Then the figures disappeared leaving no trace of themselves or where they may have gone.

Tory then reached his hand out for the other boy to grab it. Looking back at the gargoyle he gave it a conceited grin. The younger boy then took his hand, and then the ground started to shake.

The space between the two tunnels was now revealing a hidden passage. The two boys looked at each other, and then looked back seeing that there were people standing behind him, each of them holding one another’s hand. The two boys then started to walk into the tunnel which was emitting a blinding white light. Squinting their eyes, they began to move into the tunnel.

Tory then awoken to the sound of knocking on his door.  Tory was still out of it, but managed to make his way towards his door.

“Paul! I’m not in the mood!!!” He unlocked the door and then noticed that the figure wasn’t Paul, but in fact his mom. Who was furious!

“Where were you!?! I called to check up on you and no one answered!” She folded her arms and started to tap her feet, in an aggressive manner.

‘Shit!’ Tory began to curse to himself. ‘I forgot that she told me to stay home today. Better make something up quick. “Uh, I was sleeping all today mom.”

“Uh, huh!” So what’s this, she pointed to the bag of medicine that was left by Tory’s door from earlier.

“Uh, I had went to the pharmacy today, I wasn’t feeling well, so I had went to go get some medicine.”

“Really?” She emphasized. “So, why is it then, that Paul told me that he saw you across the street talking with your friend, Colin?”

‘Shit! That stupid dead beat!’ He flinched when he heard that. ‘Calm down, you got this!’

“I just saw him when I was walking back home from the pharmacy earlier.” Tory was standing there lying through his teeth trying to change the subject. But Ms. Mary still had a frown upon her face. She was still upset about something. But Tory couldn’t think why. He thought all about the day, and tried to remember all of what she said, trying to find out why she still had that look of anger on her face. But he couldn’t figure out why.

“What’s that bruise on your face then?” Ms. Mary said with a sigh.

Tory then jumped. He totally forgot about Colin hitting him. He blamed it on the fact that he was still sleepy and that Colin’s punch was a merely week one. ‘Shit, what should I do…’

Tory tried to brainstorm up a lie, until Ms. Mary quickly added, “The man that lives across the street had called me awhile ago.”

‘Dr. Garretts called?’ Oh, no. He was caught for sure. Especially since he and Colin spent most of the day together. He must have saw Colin upset and was calling to see why.

Mary then stepped up to her son still having an angry look on her face. She reached out her hand towards Tory. Tory not knowing what she was going to do, flinched.

She then grabbed her sons face and started to rub it where it looked swollen and red. “Baby, what is going on with you?” You’re becoming more moody than what you usually are.” Her face turned sincere. She was worried about her baby, and seriously wanted to know what was going on in his head.

Tory felt that and a pain started to once again form in his heart. If something were to happen to him, then who would be there for his mom. Paul can’t take care of himself, let alone another person. Which caused him to think about Paul’s girlfriend for a second. Yet, he shook that idea of his mind. Since his mother was the important thing right now. He started to think seriously about the situation. He then went closer to his mother. Hugging her to where his face was sitting on her neck.

“I’m sorry, mom…” He said to her. With a single tear traveling down his face and unto Ms. Mary’s neck. She felt it, but was confused to why her son was crying. She knew that her rebellious son would never tell her. So, she then reached her arms around her sons back, squeezing tightly.

She knew that her child was growing up, but she still thought of him as her baby. And she always wanted what was best for him. No matter what happened to her. She was a proud mother, who had a great son, no matter what he done wrong; she would have always forgiven him.

‘I won’t do this anymore, I promise mom. If I make it out of this with no consequences, then I’ll stop.’ He was thinking about, Colin and the Gaia Project, if someone had figured out that it was him and Paul that were doing something like this, and then they would have both been in some serious shit. Maybe juvie may be even prison.

They stood there for a moment. Then they suddenly heard the door squeak. Tory, who was facing the door at the time, looked up and there was Paul, grinning at him. Tory then let out a low growl. But at the same time, Paul’s stomach growled as well. Mary heard this, jumping to the loud noise. She let go of Tory and turned around to notice him there.

“Oh! Paul! I didn’t hear you come in!” She blushed fiercely, it was the first time in awhile that she and her own son had a mother-son moment.

“Yeah, sorry about that. I didn’t mean to interrupt…” He started to snicker under his breath.

“Oh, nonsense, since you’re here, I need help cooking something in the kitchen.”

“Oh, yeah? Whatcha’ cookin’ today Ms. B?”

“Some pot roast, corn, mashed potatoes, etc. You know, the basics.”

“Wow! That’s a lot of stuff.” Paul replied in surprised.

‘That is a lot, the only time she ever cooks that much is when we have company over.’ Tory thought, looking towards his mother in surprise.

“Yeah, that’s because Colin and his guardian are coming over here.” Tory’s heart dropped.

‘Colin? Over here? After that..?’ Tory started to sweat again. ‘This is NOT good. And even worse Mr. Garretts is coming… Hopefully he doesn’t know about me and Colin getting into a fight. Or, the fact that me and Paul were the ones hacking into the encrypted files of the Gaia project…’
