Nobody Wants To Be Lonely.
There you are,
In a darkened room,
And you're all alone.
Looking out the window,
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love,
Like a broken arrow…
Tori didn't know how long she had been sitting at her window, but it was dark outside, she was perched on the windowsill, her back against the wall and feet propped up against her desk. With a sigh she carried on watching life below her carry on, it had been a year since Blake left and although they didn't share much physically, she felt a part of her had been ripped away. She felt empty. The only thing that kept her going during the day was the fact that she had to teach the new students, sure, her friends were there but it was now different.
Many times she thought about taking up Blake's offer and following him around with his motocross, but it was so long since she saw him she didn't want to. It would be too much for her, and who knows? Blake's probably off doing his thing and not even thinking about her anymore. The thought ran through her mind as she sighed again and propped her knee up to her chin, she lowered her head and closed her eyes. She didn't know that she was being watched.
Here I stand in the shadows,
Come to me, Come to me.
Can't you see that…
Nobody wants to be lonely,
Nobody wants to cry.
Hunter stood at the bottom of Tori's apartment, he looked up to see her sitting on the inside windowsill, the soft light lit up her face as she stared out over the horizon. He couldn't count how many times he took a detour on his way home at night, just to see if she was at the window. All the time she was, when he saw her lower her head he knew instantly she was crying. He shook his head and stared into the sky, one day, just one day he will go up to her and take her up in his arms and make her forget about Blake, maybe one day. But once again, that day wasn't this day.
Hunter only spent a year at the Thunder Academy before he took a few months off, being finally separated from Blake still hadn't sunk in for him and he wasn't used to being on his own. So, instead of finding Blake, he came back to his best friends. He took one last look up at Tori's window to see she hadn't moved, he had gotten a lot closer to her since Blake went away, he didn't understand why but he never complained. He took a breath and entered her building. No time like the present. Hunter silently walked up the stairs to Tori's apartment, he might as well tell her how he felt before he burst.
My body's longing to hold you,
so bad it hurts inside.
Time is precious and it's slipping away,
and I've been waiting for you all of my life.
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why,
Why don't you let me love you?
A soft knock on the front door jolted Tori out of her thoughts, she glanced at the clock beside her, 22:30, she wrinkled her nose and tried to think of who would be at her door so late, before she could consider it she heard a voice.
"Tori? It's Hunter."
Tori looked at the door, "It's open, come in." She looked back out the window and wiped her eyes.
Hunter walked in and as he closed the door behind him, he noticed a magazine in the bin, and after a couple of seconds he recognised Blake on the front, with a women, probably some model. He sighed and glanced at Tori who hadn't moved from where he saw her before. "Tori?"
Tori sniffed a little and climbed off the windowsill, she stood up straight and, dressed in her light blue PJ's made her way towards the kitchen. "Hey Hunter. What you doin' here so late?" She looked at him. "Want a drink?"
Hunter sighed, "no thanks Tori." He watched her disappear into the kitchen, "Tori? Are you ok?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, I've noticed you've spent more time on your own than usual."
"We're not all joined at the hip Hunter."
Can you hear my voice?
Do you hear my song?
It's a serenade,
So your heart can find me.
And suddenly your flying down the stairs,
Into my arms.
Before I start going crazy,
Run to me, Run to me,
Cause I'm dying…
Hunter leant against the doorframe and crossed his arms across his chest; he wasn't going to let her lie to him as well as everyone else. "Tori."
"Yeah?" Tori was kneeling on the floor looking into a cupboard.
"Tori look at me."
Tori sighed lightly and spun around on the floor, she sat properly on the floor, as crossed her legs; she slowly looked up at Hunter. "Happy?"
Hunter shook his head and knelt beside her, he noticed she had a fresh set of tears running freely down her cheek. He reached out and wiped a few tears away with his thumb. He looked into her eyes, "Tori…"
"Don't feel sorry for me, or anything like that, I don't want it."
"What do you want though Tori?" Hunter leant closer towards her until their lips were brushing together.
Tori inhaled a little and looked back into his eyes. "You…" Her words were only just audible as she closed the gap between them and intertwined her fingers in his hair.
Nobody wants to be lonely,
Nobody wants to cry.
My body's longing to hold you,
so bad it hurts inside.
Time is precious and it's slipping away,
and I've been waiting for you all of my life.
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why,
Why don't you let me love you?
It was the sound of a car horn that finally woke Tori up in the morning, she rolled over to see Hunter watching her, and she smiled shyly and blushed as she thought back to the night before.
"Mornin'" Tori rolled onto her back and looked back at Hunter who was still watching her, "what?"
Hunter laughed a little and shook his head, a smirk she knew all-too-well spread across his lips. "Nothing."
Tori was about to speak when she heard the car horn again, "who is that?!" She turned around and got out of bed, carefully wrapping the blanket around her body. Hunter took this opportunity to start getting dressed.
Tori looked out the window to see a grey van outside her building; she tilted her head to see if there was anyone in it or around it, she noticed a familiar figure get out and dart up the stairs. "Hunter? What time is it?"
"Just gone nine, why?"
Tori ran into the bathroom, cursing under her breath, "I'm late!"
Hunter laughed and got dressed, as he put his crimson shirt back on, just as the doorbell went. "I'll go get it."
He opened the door to see Dustin standing there. "Dude! What you doin' at Tori's?"
Hunter laughed at his innocence and shook his head. "Never mind Dustin, she's coming." He sat down on the chair as Tori scurried out the bedroom, her hair was still wet and she hadn't got her shoes on. She threw the house keys to Hunter.
"Lock up for me, see you later!"
Hunter laughed as Tori ran out the apartment without her shoes on.
Dustin followed Tori and laughed hysterically. Tori turned to glare at him as they got to the van, "what's so funny??"
"We're going to be late, and it won't be my fault this time!" Tori shook her head as Dustin started up the engine.
I want to feel you deeply,
Just like the air you're breathing.
I need you here in my life,
Don't walk away, don't walk away,
Don't walk away…
Later that day when Dustin and Tori had finished teaching, they sat on a cliff overlooking the beach; they were waiting for Shane to finish his lessons. Dustin looked at Tori with a grin. After a while, Tori looked at him and punched his arm playfully. "What??"
Dustin shook his head, "nothing dude, just, what was Hunter doin' at yours this morning?"
Tori giggled lightly and shook her head, "nothing Dusty." She grinned and looked over at the other side of the cliff. "Hey, what are they up to?"
Dustin looked over to where Tori was talking about and saw Marah and Kapri doing something, someone could call it fighting, though it didn't look much good. Dustin chuckled at them, "D'ya think we should help them?"
Tori shook her head and smiled, "nah, leave them to it."
After a while Tori noticed Dustin watching them out the corner of her eye, she smiled and looked at him, "go help them if you want."
Dustin shook his head, "It's not that. Dude, can you still love someone, even though something happened a while back that you couldn't forget?"
Tori smiled, knowing whom he was talking about. She kissed Dustin's cheek lightly and whispered.
"Nobody wants to be lonely."
Dustin looked at Marah again and nodded to Tori, he got up and walked towards the two squabbling sisters, a couple of minutes later Kapri left the two alone.
Nobody wants to be lonely,
Nobody wants to cry.
My body's longing to hold you,
So bad it hurts inside.
Time is precious and it's slipping away,
And I've been waiting for you all of my life.
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why,
Why don't you let me love you?
Shane finally joined Tori to see she was alone, "hey, where's Dustin?"
Tori kept silent but looked over to Marah and Dustin who were laughing and chatting away without a care in the world.
Shane laughed, "finally." He muttered as he and Tori walked away. "So Tori, since we've lost Dustin, you want to go out tomorrow, providing we can scoop Dustin back?"
Tori smiled, "Yeah, ok. I've got something to do anyway." She smiled and departed.
Nobody wants to be lonely,
Nobody wants to cry.
My body's longing to hold you,
So bad it hurts inside.
Nobody wants to be lonely…
When Tori got home she saw Hunter still on the sofa, she shut the door behind her and ran towards him and he held out his arms. "Hunter…"
Hunter kissed the top of her head and held her closely. "Tori, is this what you want?"
Tori leant up and kissed him quickly, she smiled. "I don't want to be lonely…"
