Truth's Debut

Tori finished off her speech with a huge smile. She was gong to stand up, seeing as Hunter was not replying, but she stayed. Her nose was throbbing but she did not notice. She was cold but she felt warm.

"You have a pretty smile." Hunter joked.

Tori stared at him, disappointedly but she rolled her eyes and smiled, even laughing a bit.

"I swear it's not the drugs." Tori smiled.

"I don't mind the drugs, it's what you say when you're not high that I don't like." He laughed with her.

"I really should have not gone out with Blake." Tori smirked.

"Hey, everything happens for a reason."

"Are you quoting me?" Tori asked as she stood up off the floor and sat on the coffee table across from Hunter.

"Of course."

"It's kind of cool, you should try it sometime." Tori stated.

"I'll be sure to remember that next time I say something worth quoting."

"I know, you say something that most people repeat and I'll quote you." Tori teased.

"No, not going to happen."

"Alright, have it your way, I'll just have to do something drastic." Tori grinned.

She calmed herself down and poked at her nose. She struck a bruised spot and whimpered. Hunter reached up and pulled her hand away from her nose. She was pulled forward a bit and they were face to face.

"Kind of close aren't we?" Tori kidded as she moved even closer.

She kissed him, but he did not pull away. She smiled inside and remembered her mom. 'Thanks mom' Tori thought and snapped back to reality. Her eyes opened and smiled, stopping the kiss.

"Maybe last night wasn't so bad. Maybe I didn't fight back because I knew that I'd have to face you." Tori grinned.

"You know my offer to stay here for a while, it's open for a really long time."

"I'll keep that in the back of my mind when I'm packing all my stuff into your house. Well, everything except stuff from the kitchen." Tori joked.

"Good choice."

"And maybe the liquor cabinet could stay there too?" Tori joked.

"I would never hurt you on purpose."

"Hey now, people change." Shane burst in to the room.

"Yeah but their maturity level doesn't." Tori joked.

"Really, you used to be a troublemaker." Dustin replied.

"I know, but shhh…"

Tori grinned at him and then jumped up and ran over to Dustin, pulling hiss pants down in the process. She ran right out into the driveway and ducked behind a tiny bush. She watched as Dustin came running out after her but he could not find her.
