"Dad, you think Dustin is going to be okay?"
"Yes, my son, he will be okay. But I will prepare for the worst."
"Bye Shane, see you tomorrow okay," yelled Tori.
"Yeah, see you dude," waved Dustin but quickly put his hand down when his pain hit him.
Tori and Dustin were the only two left in the van after dropping off Shane at his house. Tori pulled out of the drive way to start back on the road to go to Dustin's house.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Nothing that a little pain killer can help."
"I hope so. If we only got to you a little sooner, non of this would of happen."
"Tor, it wasn't your fault. You didn't expect for this to happen, no one did. I'm fine. Soon you'll see me up and jumping by tomorrow. Don't worry."
"I know. I just hope Cam and Sensei find this whatever it is so we can kill it already and get payback."
Dustin looked at Tori as she droved. He looked at her widen eyes and small lips, telling she is serious. And how concentrated she was on the road. He love that. Tori glanced at Dustin and then back at the road.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Come on what is it?"
"Thanks Tori. Thanks for everything."
"Dustin, I'm only taking you home," she smiled.
"I know but thanks for being there for me and being my friend."
"O…okay, whatever. I think your pain is getting to your head."
"Yeah, maybe you're right."
Dustin wished that he could tell Tori how much he feel about her. He hate feeling this way and knowing that there is nothing he could do because her and Blake are dating. He wished he said something earlier.
"Well here we are."
Dustin looked out the window to see that they were at his house.
"Thanks Tor."
He slowly managed to get out the van and on to the sidewalk.
"Here, let me help you."
Tori jumped out of the van and help Dustin to his porch. They open the door and walked inside the house. They went upstairs to his bedroom and sat down on his bed.
"There, we made it."
"Thanks again, Tor."
"You're welcome. Now do you need anything before I go?"
"No, I'm cool."
"Alright, well you know my number and Shane's, just call whenever you need us."
"Okay."
He watched as Tori left his room and back into her van. He took some pain killers and laid down in his bed. He watched as his ceiling fan spin and spin until he fell asleep.
