Tori walked along the beach with Dil the next day. Although she was with
him physically, mentally, Tori was miles and miles away. She was thinking
about Blake and what he said to her the night before. Part of her was
angry that he had said that he was in love with her. Part of her was angry
he had waited so long to tell her. Dil looked at her.
"You ok?" He asked. Tori blinked and looked at him.
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?" He repeated. "You seem like something's upsetting you." Tori put on a fake smile.
"No...Just thinking." She said.
"About?" He asked.
"Nothing really." She said. Dil nodded and put an arm around her shoulders.
Cam and Blake where at the forest outside Ninja Opts sparring...Although it was more like Blake going brutal on Cam's behind. Blake sent Cam sprawling onto the ground. Cam lifted his head up.
"You do realize we're just sparring, right?" He panted. Blake looked at him.
"Yeah, why?"
"Because it looks like you're trying to kill me." Cam said. Blake blinked and sighed. He reached down and helped his friend to his feet.
"Sorry." He said. Cam looked at him.
"I guess this is another bad time to ask if everything's ok." Cam commented.
"She kissed him." Blake said. Cam's eyebrows rose slightly.
"Whoa." He said.
"Yeah." Blake said. "I went to her house, with flowers, ready to tell her, and Dil drove up to her house with her. He tried to kiss her, and at first she kinda backed away, then she kissed him."
"Aw, man..Sorry." Cam sympathised. "What happened?" He asked.
"Well, I told her." Blake said.
"What did she say?" Cam asked.
"Nothing...Because I just walked away."
"You walked away?" Cam asked. "Why? I mean, for all you know she might've..."
"Ripped out my still beating heart and stomped on it?" Blake asked sarcasticly.
"Blake." Cam said. "Don't give-"
"Cam, look, forget it." Blake said. "It's over. She's with that Dil guy. I'm through. And no amount of your reverse psychology is going to tell me otherwise."
"I didn't.." Cam began. He sighed. "I just thought that it would help."
"Yeah, so did I." Blake said. "Shows what we know."
Tori walked into Storm Chargers. She saw Hunter and Dustin suited up to go bike riding. She walked over to them.
"Hey guys." She said.
"Hey Tor." Dustin said. Hunter didn't respond. Tori looked at him.
"I guess Blake talked to you."
"Yeah." Hunter replied shortly.
"What did he say?" She asked.
"He said he saw you kissing that guy." Hunter replied somewhat angerily. Tori looked down.
"Is he here?" She asked.
"No." Dustin said. Tori looked at her friend.
"Do you know where he is?" She asked.
"Why do you want to know? Want to get your boyfriend and make out in front of the poor guy or something?" Hunter said. Tori winced as his words stung her, she felt tears well up in her eyes.
"Hunter, man, cut it out." Dustin said, coming to Tori's defense.
"Whatever, I'm out of here." Hunter replied as he walked out. Dustin looked at Tori.
"Sorry." He said. "I'll tell Blake you stopped by."
"Forget it." Tori responded. She left the store. Dustin sighed.
Tori stood in a large room. She was wearing a long flowing blue dress and a slight breeze blew back her hair.
"Hello?" She called out. Her voice echoed off the walls. She walked around.
"Tori." Came a voice. She spun around to see Blake. She felt herself be filled with a good feelings..happyness. She went over to him.
"Blake." She smiled. She felt like she had been searching for him all her life, and had now finally found him. She hugged him. Suddenly she felt something wet aganist her chest, she stepped away and looked down, there was something red on her dress. Puzzled, she looked at Blake. His eyes where looked pained and sad. There was a dark bloodstain on his navy shirt, right where his heart was. "Oh...Oh my god." She whsipered.
"I gave you my heart..." He said in a raspy voice. Blake colapsed. Tori held him.
"Blake!" Her eyes filled with tears. "No, don't do this...Please...Stay with me." She begged. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She gasped and looked up to see Dil. "Dil! Help me...He..He's dying." She sobbed. Dil smiled and knelt next to her.
"What are you talking about?" He asked. Tori looked down to where Blake was, but there was nothing there. She looked up to see Blake walking away from her.
"Have fun with your boyfriend." He said harshly over his shoulder. He slowly began to disapear. Tori jumped to her feet and ran after him.
"Blake, come back!" She said. She felt Dil take her hand. She turned to him.
"Are you ok?" He asked. Tori blinked.
"He's gone." She whispered. Dil touched her face. He brought her closer and kissed her. Something felt differant about this kiss though. Not like the one they shared in his car. She pulled away gently and looked at him and gasped. It wasn't Dil, it was Blake. He smiled at her. "I thought you left." She said.
"I'll never leave you." He replied. Tori smiled. The two kissed again. The next thing Tori knew, they where lying on the floor, in eachother's embrace, kissing oneanother passionately. "I love you." He whispered aganist her lips.
"I love you." She replied.
Tori sat up right in her bed as she woke up from the dream, panting and sweating. It felt so real. She felt like she and Blake and really been making out feverishly. She ran a hand through her damp hair.
"It was just a dream." She whispered. She closed her eyes, trying to collect her thoughts. She blinked several times. She shakingly got out of bed and walked out of her room. Her legs felt wobbly and shakey as she made her way to the bathroom. Once she got there, she splashed some water on her face and took some deep breaths. "As if things weren't messed up enough as it is." She muttered to herself. "Now I'm having freaky dreams." She sighed and went back to her room.
Blake ducked as the masked being attacked him.
"Who are you?" He demanded. The being ignored him and continued mercerlessly attacking. He jumped back and held his wrist up. "Fine, have it your way." He said. "Thunder Sto-" He started to say, but stopped when he felt the being reach into his chest. He gasped. He fell on his back as the being held his still beating heart in his hands. He looked up. The being ripped off is masked, it was Tori. She grinned maliciously down at him. "Tori..." He rasped.
"Oh, poor Blake." She gave with a mock pout. She laughed. "I don't think you need this, seeing as there is no way I'd ever love you." He blinked as he saw Dil appear next to her. Tori turned to Dil and the two shared a passion filled kiss. They seperated, both laughing at Blake. Tori tossed his heart on the ground and smashed her foot on it.
"AHH!" Blake yelled as he awoke from the nightmare. He franticly patted his chest, making sure his heart was intact, then realized it was just a dream. He took a deep breath and fell back in his bed, panting, his heart beating like crazy.
"She was holding your heart?" Cam asked. Blake nodded. The two where sitting in Ninja Opts. Blake had just finished telling him about his dream.
"She ripped out my still beating heart and stomped on it." Blake sighed. Cam looked at him.
"But, you know it was just a dream, right?" He said.
"I know..But, it felt real enough." Blake replied. Cam sighed.
"What felt real enough?" Came a voice. Both guys jumped and turned to see Tori standing there. Cam and Blake looked at one another. Blake stood up.
"I'm out of here." He said to Cam. He went to leave. Tori looked at him.
"Blake, can we talk?" She asked.
"No." He replied as he walked out. Tori was right on his heels. Blake stalked away from Ninja Opts with Tori following him.
"Blake, we need to talk about the other night." She said.
"No, we don't." He said, without even looking at her. He knew she was just going to tell him he was an idiot for ever thinking she'd even like him, let alone love him.
"Blake, you're not being fair." Tori said. "You can't just drop a bomb of loving someone like that and then not talk about it."
"There's nothing to talk about. Leave me alone." And with that, he took off, using his Ninja speed. Tori sighed as she watched him leave.
"You ok?" He asked. Tori blinked and looked at him.
"Huh?"
"Are you ok?" He repeated. "You seem like something's upsetting you." Tori put on a fake smile.
