Tori reached her apartment and found all the musical equipment still
set up. She took her keyboard and threw it against the wall, breaking a few
of the keys off. She tore at the pages of her notebook and sank to the
ground. 'Why did I just do that? Oh god what have I done' she cried. She
gained her composure and stared at her broken instrument. 'Maybe I can set
things right again.' She went over to the recorder and removed the disk
with her song on it. She placed it in her computer and downloaded it. She
transferred the file to a CD. When it was finished, she placed it in her CD
player and listened.
Every word that was said came from her soul, and even after what had just happened, she knew she still loved him with everything she had. She took the CD out and wrote his name on it. She took a piece of paper and wrote him a letter, hopefully making things better. It may not make it right, but she didn't want him to not know how she felt. She sealed the letter and the CD in an envelope. She kissed the seal and placed the package on her kitchen table.
(((((((((((()))))))))))))
Blake stood on his porch as the sun was rising. He was still fuming from the argument he had had with her. He loved her so much and she was treating him like shit. He wanted nothing more than to scoop her up in her arms and hold her to him- tasting her sweet lips for the first time. He pounded his fist on the railing.
"Dude, easy. It's alright," Hunter said coming up behind him. Blake shrugged off his little tantrum and headed out the door- it was time to go.
((((((((((())))))))))))
Dustin, Shane, and Cam saw them off. Blake's heart sank when he didn't see Tori there. They all said their goodbyes and the thunder brothers headed for the gate. Blake turned one last time in hopes of seeing Tori, but his dreams were again shattered. He began to walk away when he heard footsteps running behind him. He turned to see Tori racing towards him. She stopped in front of him and froze. He had a good size welt on his cheek. She looked up at him.
"Oh god. Blake I'm-" Blake didn't know what came over him, but he blew up at her.
"What, you wanted me to have a broken jaw right?" Tori's eyes lit up.
"I didn't mean to hit you Blake," she said apologetically.
"Well, you did. So what- changed your mind about being such a bitch to me and decided to see me off?" For the first time ever Blake saw Tori cry. He had never meant for this to happen. She had come to try and apologize and he was being a royal jackass. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Blake reached out to touch her face, but she flinched away.
"Tori, I'm-" she threw him an envelope and ran out of sight. Hunter saw what had happened and was shocked. He went over and grabbed Blake violently by the shirt collar.
"You're a fucking idiot you know that?" he asked. Blake hung his head and walked onto the plane. He took his seat and looked at the envelope. It simply had his name on it in her flowing script. The plane took off and they left blue Bay Harbor.
The Bradley brothers had been in flight for a few hours when Hunter fell asleep. Blake held the envelope in his hand, afraid to open it. He made sure Hunter was out cold before opening it. He found a letter and a CD inside. He slowly opened the letter and began to read.
~Blake,
I cannot even begin to tell you how sorry I am about what happened earlier. I never ever wanted to hurt you. I'm so happy for you and Hunter. I know this is what you've dreamt about your entire life. I was wrong in reacting the way that I did, but you have to understand why I reacted that way. The enclosed CD is something that I made for you. Every word, every note, and everything in it comes from me.
I've lost so many things in my life, and I would hate it if I lost you too. You don't know this, but my parents passed away when I was 17. I really didn't think that I'd ever be able to feel happy again- until I met you. My mother would sing 'When You Wish Upon a Star' to me when I was young. All I've done is dream about you since the first day I saw you- I can only hope that my wish will come true someday. Good luck Thunderboy.
Tori~
Blake sat there dumbfounded. He shakily took out the CD and put it in his portable player. He sat back and closed his eyes as he heard her:
'Today I took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill
Above the lake
And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away
And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say
And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that
I can't believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen or heard you're name
And even now, I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain
And somethings are the way they are
And words just can't explain
Cause I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before
And it feels like now,
And it feels always,
And it feels like coming home
I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that'
Blake heard the song end, but was still in shock. He had tears in his eyes as he heard her sweet melodic voice. All he could do was stare down at the letter. 'I'm a fucking idiot.' He thought. 'She really loves me. Why did I do that to her! I love her so much.' He sat up straight in his seat. 'I will set things right Tori. I will.'
