Chapter 5: No More Pain

Tori pulled up to the racetrack and she saw Hunter racing around the track. A smile came across her face as she leaned against the fence watching him do his practice run. All of a sudden, while she was watching Hunter race around the track, she saw her future with him. Sure she liked Blake and she was broken when Blake dumped her, but Hunter was there to comfort her after the breakup. However, all of Tori's thoughts were interrupted when she saw Hunter misjudge a jump and he crashed to the ground. "HUNTER!" She screamed. She jumped over the fence and ran over to him.

When Tori reached Hunter, she turned him onto his back and took his helmet off to see him in pain. "Hunter, are you okay?" She asked.

"My wrist," he replied.

Tori removed the motocross glove on his hand and saw that it was swelling up. "Come on, we have to get you to the hospital," she insisted. She helped him off the ground and got him into her truck.

(Blue Bay Harbor Hospital)

Tori was sitting out in the waiting room when the doctor came out. "You the one who was with him?" He asked.

"Yes, is Hunter going to be okay?" She asked.

"He'll be fine. His wrist is broken, but that's it," he replied.

"Good. Can I see him?" She asked.

The doctor nodded and led her to Hunter's room.

Hunter was pulling his shirt back on when they came in. "Hey, Hunter," she greeted. Hunter just glanced at her as he stood up. "I'm so glad you're okay," she told him. Hunter ignored her as he walked out of the hospital. Tori let out a sigh as she followed him.

Hunter walked by Tori's van to see his bike still in the back and decided to pick it up later. "HUNTER STOP!" Tori shouted. Hunter turned around to look at her. "Could you please talk to me?" She asked.

"Sure, we can talk. About what? About how you practically ripped my heart from my chest and stomped on it?" He asked.

Tori bit her lip. "Hunter, if you would just let me explain…" Hunter cut her off.

"I don't want to hear it," he mumbled.
"HUNTER!" She shouted.

Hunter ignored her and walked away. Tori stood there and let out a sigh. "YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNING AWAY!" She shouted.

"WATCH ME!" He answered.

Tori let out a sigh and rubbed the back of her neck. She knew that since Hunter couldn't ride, she knew where his second favorite place was.

Hunter was sitting on the beach watching as the waves hit the beach. He lowered his head and looked at the cast on his wrist. "Stupid, stupid," he mumbled. He let out a sigh. "How could she do this to me? How could Tori do this to me?" He mumbled. He suddenly realized that someone was sitting next to him. He didn't have to look, he knew that it was Tori sitting beside him. "What do you want?" He asked.

"I want to talk to you," she replied.

Hunter stood up. "I think you've said enough," he told her. Hunter started down the beach. Tori let out a sigh and stood up.

"HUNTER PLEASE WAIT!" She called out.

Hunter stopped and looked at her. "What? What could you possible say now?" He asked. Tori looked at him with tear-filled eyes.

"I have to tell you something," she replied.

Hunter walked back over to her and stood two feet in front of her. "I'm listening," he informed. Tori bit her lip as she looked at him.

"I love you," she told him.

Hunter's heart stopped at her confession. At first he thought he was dreaming, but she saw the sincerity in her eyes as she stood there. "I love you so much," she added. She closed the gap between them and hugged him. "I just don't want you to get hurt anymore," she told him. Hunter hugged her back and closed his eyes. He breathed in her scent and he sighed.

"I love you too, I always have," he confessed.

Tori let out a sigh and felt like nothing could go wrong. "I'm so sorry," she whispered. Hunter shook his head.

"I'm sorry too," he answered.

Tori smiled as she pulled back. "So, we're together now?" He asked. She laughed.

"What do you think?" She asked.

He chuckled as he pulled her in for a kiss.
