Back Home

Shane grinned at her and the two ran towards each other. Tori jumped at him then when they were finished hugging, she dropped onto the floor. Hunter walked in afterwards too and they high-five, which is hard to do with one hand holding a baby. Tori grabbed Katie and walked into her room. She was sleeping and it was late. She walked back out.

"How's it been without yours truly?" Shane asked jokingly.

"Pretty good." Hunter joked.

"Oh, maybe you can talk some sense into Dustin, he's been acting weird lately." Tori interrupted.

"Tonight?" He asked.

"No, like tomorrow, are you hungry?" Tori smiled.

"Starved." Shane answered.

"Did you want me to throw a pizza in the oven?"

"Would you?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah, are you hungry?"

"Always." Hunter retorted playfully.

"I can't read minds, you have to tell me these things." Tori stated.

Dustin sat beside Brooke with her face in his shirt. It was now wet and snotty from Brooke's tears. She didn't want him to leave her, not even for a second.

"Just tell me what I did?" She pleaded.

"Nothing besides got drunk, pushed Tor and thought I was cheating on you."

"I'm sorry, do you have to go?"

"I'll make you a deal, if you go to a retreat for the weekend and come back better, I'll act as if nothing happened, deal?"

She gulped and looked at him. "Deal."

Dustin tried to get up by she clung to him like he was a life raft in the middle of the ocean. He sighed and sat there the rest of the night until she fell asleep. He then got up and called the retreat place he had been looking at earlier. It was a place not far from Blue Bay but far enough that she couldn't run home.

Shane and Hunter were discussing future plans and Tori used this time to think. The thought of not seeing Brooke haunted her mind. Brooke was the only girl left in her life and she didn't want to lose that. Shane looked at Tori and waved a hand in front of her face. She moved slightly.

"Huh?" She half asked.

"Man this whole Brooke thing is really getting to you." Hunter stated.

"I've been thinking, that's all."

"Whoa, you ever wonder what life would be like if Blake never...you know?" Shane asked.

"All the time." Tori sighed.

"Are you not happy with me?" Hunter joked.

"No, I mean yeah but he's gone forever, like not coming back. What would've happened to us if he didn't die? I mean, it's not like you believed me."

"Hey, at first." Hunter retorted. "I did save you."

"Would you ever do what Dustin did to Brooke to me?"

"She got you there bro." Shane laughed.

"I mean, I know I complain and I'm lazy and stuff but-"

"Why would you even think that?"

"Because it can happen."

"Look, this is me, the guy who, what's the word I'm looking for..."

"The guy who loves her?" Shane laughed.

"Not exactly the same meaning but yeah okay." Hunter laughed.

"I'm going to go to sleep now, seeing as you're laughing at me." Tori replied.

"We're not laughing at you, we're laughing with you." Shane joked.

"Which is funny because I'm not laughing." Tori stated with a grin.

"You're just not laughing yet." Shane retorted.

"What is it, like all men are pigs?" Tori asked.

"Not all, there is that rare one that's not." Hunter joked.

"Night." She replied with a roll of her eyes.
