Complications
Tori sat in Emergency as the doctor fixed her nose. It was broken, she did not need a doctor to tell her that. She did have a bruised rib, she did need the doctor there. She walked out of the hospital with a bandage on her nose and around her stomach. In as much pain as she was in, she still smiled at Hunter as he leaned on his truck, waiting for her.
"You know what?" Tori laughed.
"Let me guess, medication?"
"Oh yeah, I'm going to die." Tori stopped laughing.
"Form what exactly?"
"I don't know yet." Tori shrugged as she burst out laughing again.
"Great, now I have to deal with a druggie." Hunter muttered.
"You shut-up, if it wasn't for you, I'd be dead right now, hanging from the ceiling by a noose, then you could read my note and laugh at how stupid I was to think that I could prove you wrong, Mr. Big shot think he knows his brother over some girl." Tori stopped laughing.
"I think the drugs have worn off."
"No, you just think they are, like you thought Blake couldn't be a drunk or abusive." Tori retorted.
"Wow, I had no idea you felt this way about me." Hunter joked.
"You know, when someone loves you, they have funny ways of showing it, like you, you pretend you hate me and I pretend I hate you but in the end we both know that we love each other right?" Tori spat at him.
"You need to realize that you have a dead man hanging in your house before you tell me this crap."
"He's not dead." Tori snapped.
"So what is he then?" Hunter asked.
"He's burning, down with the Devil, you know he deserves everything that came to him, you know, I know, Dustin knows, Shane knows, he knew, why do you think he bought me stuff every morning. So it would make him feel less guilty. I think it made him feel more guilty, why do you think he's the one who killed himself, not me?" Tori held back tears.
"He couldn't stand what he did to you." Hunter stated matter of factly.
"What?"
"He hated himself after, he knew what he did. He wasn't thinking strait but he still knew what he was doing, you did too, you could've easily left or fought back but you chose not to. You didn't want to hurt him, why do you think I picked tonight of all nights to 'save' you. After talking to me today, I knew what you were going to do."
Tori closed her eyes and tried to keep her balance. She managed to keep standing but she snapped out of her fit and touched her head.
"Hey." Tori smiled.
"Hi." Hunter replied confused.
"Are you okay?"
"Me, okay, you're acting kind of weird."
"What happened to me?" Tori asked sweetly.
"Dude, you are way freaky."
"Okay, sure." Tori grinned.
"Huh?"
"I think the drugs have kicked in." Tori giggled.
