Bruises

Brooke cleaned up her blonde friend and then sat across from her on the edge if the tub. Tori was looking at her, she was sitting on the toilet. Brooke smiled and then extended her hand for a high-five or handshake.

"Man you could've taken her easily." Brooke grinned.

"That's what I said."

"You were going at it pretty good, maybe they're scared of you now." Brooke laughed.

"A lot of people are." Tori replied, trying to keep a strait face.

"Not me."

Brooke stood up and helped Tori up too. They opened the bathroom door and laughed on their way out. It was a loud laugh and they showed no sign of stopping any time soon, not until Shane pointed to them. He was sitting on the couch beside the other two.

"A party?" Tori asked. "For what?"

"An intervention?" Brooke added. "For me?"

"No, it's just a room full of anxious people waiting to hear more about that girl." Shane answered.

"Seriously?" Brooke asked.

"Yeah, it seemed to anger Tor and we want to find out why." Dustin stated.

"Why because she said 'Look, it's Blake's cheater' then 'Not good enough for him?' then it was 'Not here to save you now is he?' But I think I got my point across, don't you?" Tori shrugged.

"Like Bob right?" Shane asked.

"Yeah." Tori replied. "But she was easier to fight."

"Man you're tough." Hunter joked.

"Dude you don't know the half of it, in high school, she beat up this one popular girl because she was making fun of me and Shane one time." Dustin added.

"No, she started it." Tori argued.

"But you finished it." Shane smirked.

"That I did." Tori replied. "And in a matter of a few minutes, got out of that with?"

"A bloody nose." Shane grinned.

"A bruised rib." Dustin added.

"And possibly a concussion." Shane added finally.

"That would explain me not remembering that week." Tori stated.

"And you're just now telling me this?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah, problem?" She glared at him.

"I always was stronger than you."

"Sir Brags-A-Lot strikes again." Brooke joked.

"Not you too." Hunter whined.

"You may be stronger but I'm smarter." Tori stated. "Always was."

"Told me earlier." Brooke joked.

"Well don't be too boastful, you can be Duchess Depression." Tori laughed.

"And Dustin?" Shane asked.

"Duke Dummy?" Brooke queried.

"No, Sir Lancelot, 'cause he saved you." Tori smiled.

"And I'm stuck with Sir No-Brains." Shane muttered.

"I saved you." Hunter retorted.

"Yeah but you brag about it." Dustin kidded. "See, I'm modest."

"Yeah, modest my butt." Tori giggled. "Sorry."

"No you're not, but since you're my friend, I'll forgive you." Dustin replied.

Tori shrugged and walked into the kitchen. Brooke laughed at the pigs and followed her, watching as Tori pulled out an apple and began to cut it up.
