Alright, here's the continuation of Letting go and Continuing on. I'm having the rest of the... well, plot, as a chapterstory. It's much easier. I don't mind critism or flames, so just go ahead. But compliments make me happy.

This chapter is set from Tori's POV.

Chapter one: Talk

--

I stare at the phone, wondering. Did I just do something wrong? And what did Kira mean?

I sigh sadly, dropping the phone on the table and bury my face in my hands, thinking.

Kira said she liked me... alot. Did she mean...? No, she couldn't have.

Kira wasn't a lesbian. Or bi. Was she?

I don't know if I want her to be. I can't make that decision for her, but... some part of me wants her to be. And then, maybe we could...

I straighten abruptly, cursing myself for letting my thoughts head in that direction. Of course we can't.

I slowly pick up the phone again, and bite my thumbnail nervously. Should I call her? Or should I wait? Maybe it would be better to talk to someone else first? Just to get rid of the confusion.

I shake my head and let go of the phone again, leaning back, and made myself wait for Dustin to get back.

Sure, he's the worst airhead on the planet, but after our second Ranger "mission", he's gotten much better, and he's really good at the emotional stuff.

So yeah, I lean back and wait. The little furball is curled up by my feet, I suddenly notice. I pick him up, and huggle him close to my chest. He lets out a tiny growl, and I place him in my lap instead, stroking him absently, letting my thoughts wander again.

I fell asleep in the couch, and my dreams kick into "Kira-mode".

Kira stands in front of me, looking sad. And she says... she says that she misses me. And my heart breaks at the sight of her walking away.

The next thing I know is that someone's calling my name. "Tori."

Half asleep I thought it was Kira, but when I blink and look up, I see that it's Dustin. And I sigh and move a little, and he sits down beside me.

"What's wrong?" he asks the instant he touches me again. I bite my lower lip, wondering if I really should tell him. But he's my best friend, and he deserves to know.

"Kira called," I mutter. "She wanted to talk to you or Hunter."

Dustin simply nods and waits for me to continue.

"I... it's... We talked. Or, I tried to talk, but she was in a rush again. And she said that she likes me alot."

I look up at him, hesitant. He is smiling slightly, his brown eyes helds understanding in them.

"Do you think that it's true? Is she... Does she?" I ask.

"We've talked, before," Dustin says, looking at me. "I shouldn't be the one to tell you this, but she confessed to me that she is bi. And that she likes you very much. She's just very insecure when it comes to it."

I only nod, not knowing what to say.

"You should talk to her about it," he continues. "It's good for you both."

"I tried." I whisper. "But she wouldn't."

Dustin rubs my back in soothing movements.

"It's okay, Tor," he says gently. "She just needs some time."

I nod again. "But I really... I really like h- her." My voice cracks slightly at the end.

Dustin hugs me, and I cling to him, needing the comfort.

"It's okay," he says again. "It'll be okay, you'll see."

I nod once more, and rest my head on his shoulder. He wraps an arm around my shoulders and rubs my arm. I'm almost asleep when I remember.

"Thank you, Dustin." I manage to murmur before sleep finally pulls me back to my dreams once again.
