NOTE: Hopefully I won't get hated on after this chapter. LOL. But please…ENJOY!

QUICK SUMMARY: The couple becomes the center of attention as the world experience a shocking interview.

"Out Of Love"

"The tides are ripping out there today." Hunter observes as he and Tori stood in front of the intense waters. It wasn't long ago when the couple arrived at the beach. The others would be arriving shortly later on that day. Meanwhile, Hunter was wearing only crimson trunks, and was completely shirtless. Tori has on a white tankini top with blue board shorts. She was getting ready to hit the water as she held a surfboard to her side. It was a beautiful sunny day as the dirty blonde looks over at his fine lady and smiles. "Are you sure you can handle it?" He asks, a bit concern with the high winds and fierce waves.

Tori rolls her eyes at him for being so overprotective. But then again, it was quite sexy to her. "Hunter, I've done this my whole life. The waves are nothing compared to the pipe."

"Ah...the pipe." He smirks. "It only comes in once a year right?"

She nods. "Yup. Well, I gotta catch some waves." Tori pulls Hunter's head close to hers for a little kiss. "See you later."

"Be careful." He says before pulling away from her hand. The dirty blonde stuffs his hands into his swimming trunks and looks on at Tori, laying face down on the surfboard and pedaling towards the current.

"OH MY GOD!"  Hunter hears a woman squealing from behind as he turns around in slow motion. "That's him!" His eyes open wide at the mob of people, mainly reporters and cameramen, as they came running towards him. He tries running for it, but find himself in total shock. People came crowding around him as he stood there at a loss for words. "Hunter Bradley," A woman starts off.

"Hunter over here!" Another reporter holds a microphone near his mouth. "Is it true? Are you dating Tori Hanson?"

"How did you two meet?"

"What happened to Natalie Jordan?"

"Uhh..." Hunter's head began to jumble up with so many questions as flashing cameras continue to blind him.

"What really happened at the Glowing Hot Spot?"

"Why did you kiss Natalie Jordan when you were with Tori at the time?"

"What was her reaction?"

Reporters came shouting out various questions, and yet, it was impossible for him answer all of them at once. The dirty blonde started feeling agitated as he began to feel slightly dizzy.

Hunter scratches the back of his neck. "One at a time please."

"Over here!" Another woman reporter came pushing others out of the way. She fixed her hair a bit and smiles. Reporters came putting their microphones near him. She clears out her throat and begins. "Hunter, first and foremost, everyone wants to know, which of the two ladies are you really dating." She wonders as she points a tape recorder near his mouth.

"Umm..." Hunter speaks through several mics nervously. "Okay. Just to get the record straight, I am currently with Tori. My life is devoted to her and no one else. The deal with Natalie and me...well you know how it is when you see your ex for the first time in a long time. Yes, we've kissed a few times, but there was nothing behind that kiss. I am in love with Tori and Tori alone. There's nothing going on between me and Natalie, for she is my past and Tori is my future."

"Hunter, rumor calls it that Natalie's involvement with your younger brother, Blake was the cause of the break up. Is that true?" A man reporter asks.

"It is not my place to answer that question. Sorry." The dirty blonde replies. "Now will you excuse me? I won't answer any more questions. Thank you."

"Wait. Are there any future plans between you and Tori?"

"What were Tori's thoughts about your involvement with Natalie?"

"How do you resist?"

"I'm sorry." Hunter struggles to get through the crowd as he slowly made it out safely. Once he freed himself from such chaos, he spotted Natalie, not too far from him, wearing a small bikini. He looks on in surprise as she takes off her shades and winks at the dirty blonde. The crowd saw this as they shoved Hunter out of their way and began running towards the model. His eyes remained fixed on the luxurious brown head.

"It's Natalie!" They shouted. "Natalie over here! You look great!"

She giggles as soon as the crowd made their way around her.

"Congratulations for winning the front cover of Sports Illustrated!"

"Oh my. Thank you." She smiles while waving to the camera. "I had a great time doing it!"

"Natalie, how do you feel about your ex's relationship with Tori Hanson?" One reporter asked.

"Well..." The model starts off with a giggle. "I feel fine actually. No hard feelings. I wish both of them the best of luck!"

"You say you're fine with it, but why attempt to seduce him and perhaps ruin his relationship with Tori?" Another asks.

"I didn't know he had a girlfriend at the time." Natalie lies. "Who could blame a total party girl that just wants to have fun?" She smirks. Hunter rolls his eyes at such nonsense.

"What was your reaction when Tori punched you on the night of the club?"

Natalie pursed her lips at the question and shrugs. "I kissed her boyfriend. Who could blame her? I would've done the same thing."

"Do you still have feelings for Hunter Bradley?" She opens her mouth and said nothing, for the question unexpectedly caught her throat. The crowd came to a complete silence as they wait for her answer in mere curiosity. Hunter too waits.

"Of course she still has feelings for my boyfriend." A voice replies from behind.

They all turned around as all eyes were on Tori. Water came dripping down her body as she stuffs the surfboard in the sand, for it to stand up. She then crosses her arms and watches the mob of people shift their bodies towards her. Natalie looks on with an evil glare.

"Tori!" They shouted out anxiously.

"Listen, I won't answer any questions. But I'll say this." She looks at the camera and begins speaking through the mic. "Natalie is nothing, but a two legged trash bag ho." The model opens her mouth in shock as Tori continues. "That's right, folks. The so-called innocent girl next door isn't as angelic as she says she is. Why? Well the truth is, once she laid her eyes on Hunter, she suddenly caught herself in his gaze and fell in love all over again, or so she says." Tori adds. "Then when she finds out that he was with me, Natalie decides to turn things around by being the trashy witch that she is!"

"Excuse me?" Natalie jumps in with a scornful laugh. "What are you? Drunk?"

Tori looks up to think. "No, sweetie. I think it's you."

She plasters a wicked smirk and shrugs. "If you say so. And since we're on the topic, last time I got a hang over was when I believe I found myself being in bed with your hot boyfriend." 

Tori chuckles sarcastically. "Oh? So is this your way to put yourself on the front cover of magazines by spreading so much of your lies? Get real."

"He's good isn't he?" Natalie winks at the blonde. Hunter gulps nervously from behind the crowd.

Meanwhile, Tori narrows her eyes suspiciously at the brown head. "You're not serious are you?" She asks in a grim tone.

"Oh come on. Even ask Hunter himself. It was one hot...steamy, night." Natalie includes exaggeratedly with a finger in her mouth.

The mob of people shifts their eyes back and forth between the ladies as they all listened carefully.

"If this is your way to get back at me, give it up because it's not working!" Tori replies certainly with her arms crossed.

"You're still not convinced?" She questions her.

The blonde nods her head in dismay. "No"

"Fine, you can ask Hunter himself. He'll tell you. Hunter?!" The model calls up to him. Reporters and cameramen stepped aside to face the dirty blonde. He stares at Natalie and then at Tori nervously. "Tell your precious girlfriend what happened between you and me that one night." She tells him with a wink.

Hunter nods his head in dismay. "Don't do this, Natalie. Please."

"Oh come on." She gave him a little nudge. "The whole world deserves to know the truth, don't you think?" Natalie adds with an evil sneer. "And besides, this is your chance to come clean with Blondie over here."

Tori stares at Hunter seriously, and waits for an answer. He looks away from her eyes as the crowd came to a complete silence. "Well? Tell them it's not true, Hunter."

He slowly looks up at Tori and bit his lip. "I-I can e-explain..." He stammers nervously.

The blonde stares at him in disbelief. "Oh my God..." She chocked on her words as she places a hand over her mouth. "It is true."

Natalie giggles. "I rest my case."

Reporters and cameramen were all surprise as they began talking among themselves. Hunter and Tori stood in front of each other in awkward silence. Natalie was enjoying the moment as she plasters a mischievous smile. This is so good, she thought.

Tori crosses her arms. "How could you?" She asks in the verge of tears. "How could you lie to me like this?"

Hunter didn't know where to begin. "Tori, it happened before we even got together, okay."

"I don't care about all that!" The blonde cries out. Hunter slowly reaches out to console her as she moves away from his touch. "No."

"Come on, Tor. Let's not do this right now." He begs of her.

"You know." She releases a scornful laugh. "I thought I was your first." Hunter looks down, as he gets ready to face a guilt trip. The blonde continues while fighting back her tears. "I seriously did. You even said it yourself, but all this time I wasn't. I gave myself to you, Hunter and I was never able to do that to anyone else. But you…" Tori trails off with a nod of disappointment. "You gave yourself to me, but unfortunately you were given to someone else and I just happened to come after."

"Look, you'll always be my first." He explains seriously. "Natalie and I were drunk at the time! We weren't thinking! I experienced nothing with her. But with you," Hunter sighs. "It was love."

"Ugh!" The model gasps as she joins the argument. "Don't say it wasn't love, Hunter. It was meant to happen and you know it!"

He turns to her. "Natalie, stop!"

"Argh! Just shut up! Both of you!" Tori snaps while covering her ears. "Please don't say it!" Hunter was worried and bothered to see his girlfriend in such an emotional state. He had no idea what to do, for every move he makes turns into anguish. "I'm seriously getting fed up with the word." She brushes her hair back in frustration. "There is no such thing as love." The blonde adds sullenly with her teeth clenched together.

"You don't mean that."

"Yes I DO!" The blonde suddenly bursts out crying as she collapsed to the ground, drowning herself with tears. "You think love is suppose to make everything b-better." She sobs uncontrollably. "NO! It doesn't! It just hurts people!" Hunter gracefully knells down beside her for comfort. "No. Just go." She shoves him away.

"Tori, I'm not gonna leave you." He tells her.

"Fine! Then I will." She gets up and faces him. Cameras kept their focused on the two as reporters stare at them remorsefully. Tori's eyes were swollen from all the tears as she gazed upon Hunter. She presses her lips together as more drops of tears came falling down her pretty face. She felt stupid and humiliated for blowing up outrageously in live television, and now the whole world knows. Her life is no longer a secret or a mystery. Tori felt completely destroyed, heartbroken, and betrayed. Her privacy was invaded and her reputation was now ruined. What do people think of me now? She thought sadly. The dirty blonde stares down at her in concern; not aware of what was coming, he wanted to wipe the tears he was causing her, but was afraid of being pushed away again. The crowd felt the tension mounting as they watched on carefully. "We can't be together." Tori whispers as the people around held their breaths in disclosure. Hunter immediately looks up as he felt his heart dropped to the ground. "I can't live like this." She swallows her tears with a slight weep. He couldn't believe what he was hearing as it repeated all over in his head. Natalie too was completely shock, as she stood there motionless with a hand over her mouth. Oh my God…what did I just do? She wonders. The model expected Tori to fight back for Hunter, being the stubborn blonde she is, but she was suddenly giving up on him, and now calling it quits. Isn't this what I want? Natalie thought. But why do I feel this way? She suddenly began to feel sorry for him, and guilty at the same time for ruining something that she was meant to ruin.

"Why are you doing this?" Hunter asks as his eyes began to slowly swell up. "Why give up already when we've been through so much, and yet, we were able to overcome it? Why can't we do the same for this?"

Tori averts away from him to avoid his gaze. "The last thing I want right now is a relationship, Hunter." She tells him straight in the eye. "I need to be alone."

"No." He nods his head in dismay. "I won't accept that. You're stronger than this! What's wrong with you?"

"EVERYTHING is wrong!" Tori lets out a high-pitched cry as she covers her face from the humiliation she was enduring. Hunter tries to get a hold of her as she steps back away from him. "I can't do this anymore." The blonde looks down and turns away.

Was she serious? He thought. Is this all a bad dream? Hunter closes his eyes for a moment, hoping it was all a nightmare. He opens them once again, and watches Tori turn her back towards him.  It was then and there; Hunter knew it was over.
