Break-out

Brooke wandered down the long hall to her room. 227, at the end of the burgundy hall. The door was a great wood colour and the number was gold. She stuck the key in and turned the knob. It opened with ease and she dropped her bags-and her mouth-when she saw the room. It was like a room out of a pop star magazine. The bed was huge and the window was wide. Dustin treated her so well; she knew it and she wanted to come home at the end of the weekend, ready to become someone better.

Tori wandered up to Dustin's house with her key in hand. She unlocked the door and glanced back at the truck in the driveway. With that she unlocked the door and wandered inside. She walked into the kitchen and pulled down the same book Brooke was looking at earlier. Tori grabbed the pen from the binding and wrote after the last written page. When she was done, she closed the book, put the pen back and walked back outside to the truck.

The three guys sat at a table in the back of a coffee shop. Dustin was off in space, thinking about Brooke and Kim. Shane waved his hand in front of his face and the two got into a mini fight.

"Man, you guys are horrible." Hunter joked.

"Really?" Shane turned to look at him but Dustin lightly hit his face back towards him.

"Better behaved than Tor I guess." He chuckled.

"You better pray to god we don't tell her you said that, bro." Dustin laughed.

"She can hit pretty hard." Shane grinned.

"But dude, we've known her since we were like four, wouldn't we be in more danger?" Dustin asked.

"Nah, she'll be sleeping when we get home anyway." Hunter replied.

"You're lucky dude." Dustin remarked.

"What?" Shane asked.

"I mean, Tor's not insanely jealous or like paranoid, at least not now anyway, how do you keep that?"

"Bro, it's called trust."

"So that's it, a five letter word?" Dustin queried.

"Then there's love, respect and communication." Hunter smirked.

"Anymore words I should know?" Dustin glared at him.

"Loyal, faithful uh, civil and, well trust basically sums it up."

"Great, now I have to memorize a dictionary." Dustin whined.

"I think you should be Princess Complainer." Shane joked.

"Dude, we should go, early day tomorrow." Dustin stated.

"Alright man, whatever." Shane smiled and stood up.

Tori stood in the living room, trying to get a hold of someone. She didn't and hung up, remaining in the living room with the phone in her hand. She threw the phone at the couch and stood there, contemplating what to do next. It had been a few minutes until the door actually opened and she whipped her head around to see.

"Standing again?" Hunter asked and pushed her over. "Not anymore."

"What did you do?" Tori asked.

"Coffee and talked." Shane answered.

"Yeah, I'll see you guys later." Dustin broke in. "Early morning."

"Okay, see you later." Tori yawned.

"Bye." He moped out of the house.

Dustin drove home quietly. He didn't even talk to Kim or make sure she was even asleep. There was no music and it was a colder night. He had the heat on but it didn't help much. He was cold from the inside. He missed Brooke.

The door opened easily and Dustin tucked Kim into her crib. He then walked into the kitchen and searched for the book he wanted to read so badly. It slipped out from the cupboard from beside a box of cereal and a box of baking soda. He heard it crack as he opened it and began to read.

It was hand written in many different styles-by many different people. There was Shane's writing, Hunter's, Tori's and Brooke's. He read each page and the dates. They were all about how great she was and how lucky she was to have a guy like Dustin. He whimpered and moped more to bed.
