"A Brother's Betrayal Part 2"

Weeks have gone by and Hunter hasn't spoken one word to neither Tori nor Blake since the break up. The day he admitted his true feelings and involvement with the one women they both desire more than anything brought a dark hole to their relationship as it affected the others around them as well. Nonetheless, there were only a few weeks left till Christmas and as Hunter passed by Storm Chargers to buy a cup of coffee and donuts for breakfast, he spotted Tori and Blake in front of a music store from across the street, talking to one another. Hunter noticed the two have been spending some time together lately regardless of how things turned out weeks ago. He figured that Blake wanted to start over, and somehow, make things work with Tori once again.

After staring at them for an awfully long time, he noticed Tori blowing on the steaming mug she was holding and laughing at something funny Blake had said. This was the first time Hunter has seen a genuine smile coming from Tori after a long dreadful week, and it was secretly killing him. Not because he wasn't there to laugh along with her, but he wanted to be the guy that makes her smile. Hunter then shifts his gaze over to Blake and glares intensely at him. As much as he wanted things to go back to where they were with Blake, Hunter had the sudden desire to wipe out the smirk from off his face. He intended to do so as he began walking across the street towards their direction.

"That must've been a nasty fall." Tori commented with a slight chuckle as Blake goes on about his experience in Factor Blue.

"Yeah. The guys over there are really supportive. You should have--" Blake looks up and unexpectedly finds Hunter standing behind the blonde. "Been there..." Tori noticed his anxious mood has faded as she turns around to look his way.

"Hunter." She was surprise and yet thrilled to see him as she took a step back. "What are you doing here?"

He smiles awkwardly. "Well umm...I was about to go and get breakfast till I saw you." Hunter pauses once he caught Blake glaring at him, but he avoided his gaze and made sure his focus was on Tori. "I uhh...hope I'm not interrupting."

"Well, actually--"

"No!" Tori stopped Blake from going any further. "You kidding? This is great! Join us!" The motorcross stud turned to her in disbelief. He knew what she was up to. Ever since their fight, Tori have tried to get Blake to talk to Hunter and reason with him, but he just wouldn't. This was her chance to make them settle their differences once and for all. "We were about to head to the park." Tori tells him their plans.

Hunter smiles. He didn't care whether or not his little brother despised the idea. "Sounds good."

"Wait a minute." Blake blocks his way. "I'm not going anywhere with him."

Tori scoffs with her hands on her hips. "Blake, he's your brother."

"No!" He snaps angrily. "We've been through being brothers a long time ago!"

"Blake, come on. Don't do this."

"You know what, Tori?" Hunter gently taps her on the back. "It's cool. I have other plans anyway." His eyes were fixated on Blake with disgust.

She turns to him. "Hunter, you don't have to leave. I mean...I want you to stay."

"You heard the guy. He has other plans." Blake informs her. "Come on. Let's go." He moves right along and then stops once he looked over his shoulder and sees Tori, still trying to convince Hunter to come with. Blake just stood right in place and watch.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you letting Blake get in the way with everything?"

"Well, funny you say that. He's the reason why you broke up with me the first place remember? And you let him."

Tori parted her lips, taken aback with his response. "This is ridiculous. I'm not worth it, okay?! You have to stop doing this to yourself. He's your brother for God's sake!"

"You heard him, Tor! We're no longer brothers!"

"But he's the only family you've got! Please!" She argues back. "Don't fight because of me. It's not worth breaking up a family."

He stops and searches her watery eyes carefully. It was obvious that she wanted things to turn out right for him and Blake so badly, but Hunter knew deep down she wasn't getting it. "That's where you're wrong. I still have my father."

Tori shuts her eyes and sighed deeply. "No, you don't."

Hunter felt hurt with her response as he plasters a surprise, bewildered look. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"He's not what you think, okay? Can you actually trust this guy after being behind bars for like what? A decade?"

"Whoa. Whoa. Stop right there." Hunter narrows his eyes and points a finger at her. "Since when do you have the right to judge my father that way?" She looks down, as he slowly grew angrier by the minute. "Huh? Answer me! I sure as hell would like to know."

"Hunter, I--"

"Look, my father is trying really hard to fit in and make a better man of himself. Why can't you just give him a chance?"

Tori never pictured Hunter being so angry with her, nor to anyone else till now. She stalled a bit before answering. "I wish I could tell you--"

"Well then tell me, Tori! If there's something else you want to tell me, then just say it. I'm begging you. Please, tell me." Hunter looks up as soon as Blake joins them to interrupt their moment. He felt annoyed as he turns away and rolls his eyes.

"What's going on here?" He faces Tori and noticed the upset look in her eyes. Blake then shifts his gaze over to Hunter and puts the blame on him. "What the hell did you do?" He shoved the dirty blonde to the side so that he could comfort Tori. "Haven't you caused enough problems?"

Hunter was getting fed up with him as he glares heatedly at his direction. "Shut up!" He pushes Blake out of his way. "This is none of your business!"

"It is now, bro."

"Do not call me 'bro'!"

"BOTH OF YOU!" Tori screamed as loudly as she could while covering her ears and hunching slightly over. "STOP IT! JUST STOP PLEASE!" People around them were distracted with all the yelling as they walk by with curious stares. Blake and Hunter finally stopped, as they turn to Tori worriedly. "God, I'm so sick of this and I hate it!" She turns to Blake. "I hate the fact that you came back and all of a sudden expected a second chance from me. You can't just do that, Blake without keeping in mind that I could have moved on by now."

"Which you did." She heard Hunter mumbled under his breath as she slowly faces him. "And I hate you for kissing me the first place! It was so impulsive and you never thought about Blake while you did it! This wasn't supposed to happen! It was wrong and we both knew it!"

"But you liked it!" Hunter exclaims in return. "Just admit that you feel the same way about me, and that you want to be with me! Don't let him stop you from going after what you truly want."

"And it sure as hell isn't you. You're the biggest mistake in her life and she doesn't even know it! "

Hunter ignored Blake as he kept his eyes fixated on Tori. He could tell that she was in a state of denial as she hesitates to look back. "Well? What is it gonna be, Tor?"

She gazed upon him weakly without passion, interest, nor desire and it worried him only because he wanted to be right. And by the looks of it, Hunter knew he lost since the very beginning.Tori then parted her lips and responded in a vague tone, "I think I need to be alone."
