The next morning
---------------------
Dustin woke up early and climbed out of bed, trying not to wake Hunter. He had to tell Hunter his decision today. He was sure Hunter wasn't gonna like it much but then again he himself wasn't gonna like it either. He had done a lot of thinking and believed it was the best thing to do although it mend hurting Hunter. It was gonna make their lives easier. He hoped anyway. Some while later Hunter woke up.
" Hey, we need to talk." Dustin said. He had to do it now or things were gonna get more difficult.
" Sure. What's up?" Hunter asked, sitting up.
" I've done a lot of thinking and I think we should break up." Dustin said, staring to the ground. There he said it. He didn't want to look at Hunter. He didn't want to see the pain and confusion.
" What? Why?" Hunter asked shocked, looking at the younger boy who seemed very interested in his feet.
" Because if we stay together, those kind of people will keep targeting us. It was already way to close now. I don't want you to get hurt because of this. Because of us." Dustin explained, still not looking at him.
" Dustin, that's ridiculous. I don't care about that. I only care about you. I love you." Hunter said softly. Dustin looked at him.
" I love you, too but I still believe breaking up is the best thing to do." He said, with tears in his eyes before walking out. Hunter stood up and wanted to go after him. But he didn't get far since his side really hurt from that wound. He clutched his side and leaned against the wall, breathing heavy just as Blake walked in. Blake hurried over to him and helped him back on the bed.
" You okay?" Blake asked. Hunter nodded. " Why did Dustin ran out so upset?"
" He broke up because he thinks as long as we stay together, those people will keep hurting us and he doesn't want me to get hurt. Well, he done a great job with not hurting me." Hunter answered sarcastic, sinking back in the pillows.
" man, that's ridiculous. Besides those five guys are in jail now." Blake said.
" Try telling him that." Hunter said.
" Shane went after him. He'll talk to him. Besides he really loves you and can't live without you." Blake soothed him.
" He seemed to mean it this time. I doubt that Shane can talk him out of it." Hunter told him. Blake nodded. Dustin could be very stubborn if he was sure about something.
Meanwhile, Dustin ran out of the hospital and in the park located across the street from the hospital. He sank down on a bench. Great, he was already doubting about his decision but he couldn't go back now. He broke up and that's that. He saw Shane running out of the hospital, looking around and then spotting him. Shane jogged over to him and sat down next to him.
" What happened?" Shane asked gently. Dustin did the whole story again.
" What? Dude, that's ridiculous." Shane exclaimed.
" No, it's not. This is the second time he got hurt like that. I don't want to see him in such pain. Not if it's partly my fault." Dustin replied. Shane couldn't deny Dustin had a point but it was stupid.
" My guess is you hurt him even more then those two times together by breaking up." Shane said. Dustin looked at him. He didn't think of that. He knew Hunter was gonna get hurt but that hurt? He wasn't sure he could deal with that. Maybe he should stay away from Hunter for the rest of his live, giving Hunter a chance to get over him and move on.
" Maybe I should give up my powers and move to another city." Dustin suggested.
" That's even more ridiculous. Why would you? All of your friends and family are here. You belong here." Shane tried.
" I guess but it would be easier if I disappeared out of his live." Dustin said.
" No, it wouldn't. He's so gonna miss you. Remember last time you broke up? He got drunk often, got into fights and always showed up late for training. Don't put him trough that again if you really care about him." Shane gave it one last shot at trying to get Dustin to rethink his decision. Dustin though for a moment.
" I can't. I'm going home." Dustin announced, walking off. Shane sighed and returned inside where the other were waiting including Blake who had filled them in.
" How's Hunter?" Shane asked.
" Heart broken. He wanted to be alone." Blake replied.
" Any luck with Dustin?" Tori asked.
" No, he's going nuts. He even considered moving so Hunter could get over him." Shane reported.
" What? That's gone make things worse!" Cam exclaimed.
" I know and I told him. I talked it out of his head but he wouldn't think about getting back together with Hunter." Shane said. Blake sighed.
" This are gonna be long and depressing weeks. I can tell what will happen already. They are gonna feel so miserable without each other. Yet they refuse to talk since that would mean giving in and they're gonna take it all out on us." He said. The others nodded.
" Let's hope Dustin comes to his senses soon and if he doesn't I'm gonna make him." Tori said. The boys laughed. Tori was strong and they didn't doubt that even Hunter was scared of her sometimes.
Dustin walked to Hunter's apartment to retrieve the stuff he left there. He opened the door with the key he got from Hunter and walked in the bedroom to get some of his shirts and pants out of Hunter's closet. That was just in case of an emergency that he left that there but since he was likely not going to be here anymore, he though it was better to get it now and not when Hunter or Blake were here. Blake was probably gonna be pissed at him and with good reason. At that time the front door opened. Dustin groaned.
" I know you're here Dustin." Blake called. Dustin walked out of Hunter's room and leaned against the wall.
" Look, Dustin. You really have made a mistake by breaking up. Do you think Hunter cares if he gets hurt? He would give his life for you." Blake started.
" Exactly! That's the problem. He would." Dustin replied. Blake shook his head.
" He would give his life to save mine. Does that mean I have to say he isn't my brother anymore?" Blake knew it was a bad example but it was the best he could come up with right now.
" Dude, that's way different." Dustin defended himself although Blake did have a point. He was just freaking out and he knew it well enough. Frankly, he couldn't imagine his live without hunter anymore. Dustin shook his head. No, he made a decision and he was gonna stick by that no matter what. It was for the best.
" No, it's not. Please think about it." Blake begged. He hated to see his brother down. Especially since this was the second it was because of Dustin. He never seen his brother in love this much.
" Sorry, Blake but I'm not gonna think about it." Dustin said, grabbing his stuff from Hunter's room and handing the key to Blake. " I won't be needing that anymore." With that he walked out.
Blake would rather kick some sense in Dustin but he knew that wasn't gonna help much plus the fact that Hunter would be really pissed at him for hurting Dustin. Instead, he returned to the hospital. Everyone ,especially Hunter, hoped Dustin would come to his senses soon.
