Chapter 27: Coming Clean Part 1
It's Friday night and Hunter and Tori are sitting on the couch watching some movies as planned. The two looked so cute together with Hunter's arm draped over Tori's shoulder as Tori rested her head on his chest. They had ordered a pizza with ham and pineapples like they use to do whenever it was a movie night. They were just now waiting for it to arrive.
"I'm glad we did this, it's been awhile huh?" Tori asked as she sat up so she could look into Hunter's eyes.
Hunter brushed his hand through her long and wavy blond locks, "Yes, it's been awhile, but that's okay. It seems like things have finally settled a bit."
"Yep, I totally agree..." Tori started as the doorbell rang. "Finally the pizza is here!"
Hunter went to get up off the couch to answer the door. He paid the delivery guy and handed the pizza to Tori. Hunter also grabbed the mail out of his mailbox and placed them on top of the pizza box. Tori walked the pizza over to the big dining table. She placed the warm box down and went to place the mail on the other end of the table where Hunter usually threw the rest of his mail. Hunter went to the kitchen to grab some plates as Tori placed the mail down she noticed a black velvet box. "Funny, I don't remember leaving any of my jewelry here." Tori then picked up the box and opened it. She was taken back by what she found. 'What is this?' She thought as she examined the ring inside.
Hunter came out from the kitchen with paper plates and sodas in hand. He noticed Tori at the other end of the dining table holding the box that contained the ring he had bought her. He noticed the confused and surprise look on her face. "Uh Tor, I see you found your birthday gift."
Tori looked up from the ring to stare straight into Hunter's eyes. Her eyes gave away her confusion. She was not sure what to make of her discovery. "Hunter, what is this?"
Hunter slowly walked up to Tori, but she kept inching away. "Tori, what's the matter? Why are you backing away from me?"
Tori's back was now against the wall and she had nowhere else to go. "Nothing, I just want to know why you bought me this, that's all."
"Well, to be honest...it's a promise ring. I wanted to give it to you on your birthday next week. You know that I love you Tori. I wanted to give you this until you were ready to get engaged."
When Hunter mentioned the promise ring all sorts of flashbacks from her past with Blake flashed through her mind. Tori was now emotionally distraught. She wasn't sure of what to say or what to think. 'Am I ready for this?' She thought. "Hunter, I don't know what to say, I'm not sure how I feel about this...I'm sorry."
Hunter's heart broke in half right then and there. He took the box from Tori and placed it in his pocket. "You know Tor, I am more than willing to wait for you to be ready to take the next step, but you led me to believe one thing, but it's completely another. I thought you were ready to move on and I thought that I was the one you wanted to move on with..."
"Hunter, I do love you, but I just don't know..." Tori replied. She felt so bad about everything, but she was just too ashamed to admit that she was scared of loving him.
Silence fell upon the two for a few minutes. Then Hunter couldn't take it anymore. He got fed up with Tori's hot, cold attitude and got ready to leave the house. "You know what, I'm not going to stand here and pressure you, I'm going for a ride. I'll be back in a few."
Hunter then left and Tori went to go sit on the couch and aimlessly stared at the television. An hour or so passed and Hunter still had not returned. Tori was now starting to get worried. It had started to rain and a bad storm was brewing. Tori got up from her place on the couch and walked towards the big bay window in the living room. She noticed the lightning flashing and heard the thunder start to roll. The lights flickered and then had gone out. Tori wasn't just going to sit and wait anymore. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She went to grab her hooded windbreaker and threw on the matching pants over her shorts. She ran to the garage and started up Hunter's truck. She pulled away from the house and drove down the streets. She didn't see any sign of him. She turned down another street and started to head over to the track to see if he went there. The rain started to pour down harder and made it very hard for Tori to see. She continued down the street when she came to a screeching halt. She noticed an old tree that must have been hit by lightning and split in half lying on the wet cement. She noticed a black helmet with a crimson colored thunder bolt insignia a few inches away from the fallen tree. She hopped out the truck and scanned the area. Her heart was racing as she frantically ran up by the tree and picked up the helmet off the ground. 'Where's Hunter?' She thought to herself. She could feel her chest tightening and her pulse rise as panic started to take over. "Hunter! Hunter!" Tori continued to walk around the area in the pouring rain. Thunder boomed again high above her as she silently prayed that Blake and Aaron would help her find Hunter. As Tori felt that all hope was lost she noticed out of the corner of her eye something crimson off to the side about a block down. Tori ran as fast she could to the next block. She saw tire marks in the muddy grass and followed the marks to another tree where she found Hunter's street bike smashed up against it. "Oh no...Hunter! Hunter!" Tori was completely scared now. She found his helmet, then his bike, but where did he land when he was thrown off the bike? Tori kept looking over the area when her eyes finally fell upon the dirty blond lying motionless in the grass a few feet away.
"Hunter! Noooooooooo!"
