A/N I am back. Sorry for the span between updates, you can think failing grades and final exams for that. Now that I am out for the summer I should be able to update more (NO PROMISES). Still kind of just working this out as I write it. This Chapter is kinda long but I felt was important to put all of this together. That is it for now so please enjoy and review.

Ch. 8 Dr. Phil

Tori's House

"Hey Bobby, I just got off the phone with Dustin and he got off early and wants to go to the races. Do you mind if we pick him up on the way?" Tori asked walking into her living room.

"Yeah that's cool." He said looking at her from the couch. "So you ready?"

"Not quite, I gotta change clothes."

"Yeah since I'm gonna be staying here, I need to grab some stuff from my van so I can change out of this riding gear ane my work out clothes."

"Until I think I have some stuff you can barrow if you want?" she said heading up stairs.

"Yeah that would be great. Thanks."

"All-right let me see. I think Shane has some clothes that should fit you." She said looking him over.

"Okay who's Shane, is he a friend, your Boyfriend, or family." He asked.

"He is another friend of Dustin's and mine." She told him as they reached her bedroom.

"Cool, I'll try to not nearly kill him if I get to meet him." He joked.

"Good idea he is a much better fighter than Cam." She warned.

"So he would probably fight back instead of block and evade?" he asked while she looked through her closet for some of Shane's clothes.

"Yeah maybe. Unless he was told to go easy on you."

"Well I guess I won't mess with him until I start to get better." He joked.

"You won't mess with him at all unless you want to deal with me." She replied with a playful shove.

"Okay I have been warned no to go against you so I will leave your boy alone." He said backing up in mock fear, "So let me go change then we can go and get Dustin. Thanks again for the clothes."

"No problem." She said as she closed the bedroom door to change, and Bobby headed to the downstairs bathroom.

Later in Tori's Van

"So you stay in a van a lot, what about your family?" Tori asked deciding that they needed to get to know each other better.

"Uh, hm, Well for the most part I don't talk to most of them very often. I only speak to my Half-Sister, Aunt, and when I accidently pick up the phone my Mom." He asked unsure how to answer.

"Why don't you want to talk to them more often and what is wrong with your Mom?"

"She and I had a falling out. My Half-Sister kept the peace between us until she moved to her Dad's. After that I left and started riding for money. And I can rarely find my Aunt the last I heard she had opened some café her in California."

"What about you father?"

"I never met him." He said ready to change the subject, "What about your family?"

"My parents and older sister were killed in a car accident when I was young." She said sadly while stopped at a traffic light.

"That must have been hard. What happened to you?" he asked as the light turned green.

"I moved out here with my aunt and have been here ever since."

"What about her?"

"Well she moved to Dallas so I got a house here."

"Dallas huh? Great place but there is no where to surf. Please tell me that's not why you stayed?" he asked joking slightly.

"Not really but it did cross my mind. I stayed because I was still in school here and plus this is where my friends are." She finished remembering all the fun she had since moving here.

"Good reason. Wow! Is this Kelly's store?" he asked in amazement.

"Yep. This is Storm Chargers." She said as they pulled into a parking spot nearby and she looked at her watch, "We have some time before the races begin. Do you want me to show you around the store?'

"Yeah sure, that would be cool." He said and they got out of her van and walk in the door.

"Hello!" came a voice from the back. They headed to the back and Bobby stopped.

"Is it cool for us to go back there?" he asked unsure.

"Yeah it is all right." She replied before a loud crash, " besides it sounds like they could use some help."

"Okay. So back to the Q & A, Do you have a Boyfriend or what type of guy are you looking for?" he finished as they entered the backroom where Dustin and Kelly are moving boxes.

"She likes bad boys gone good. Don't you Tor?" Dustin answered for her.

"Better than liking bad girls still bad Dustin." She replied with a death glare. Dustin has a shocked look on his face (A/N In case you can't tell he is still taking the whole Marah thing kinda badly.)

"Well I know who Dustin is talking about but who's the lucky lady Dustin?" Kelly joined in the fun.

"NO ONE! AND YOU . . . " Dustin came back with a lot of pain in his eyes. "YOU PROMISED NEVER TO MENTION THAT AGAIN." He yelled pointing at Tori as he stormed off.

"Dustin wait." Tori started after him only to be stopped by Bobby, "What are you doing?"

"Let me talk to him. I kinda know what he's going through." He said, "plus he's gonna need a few seconds to calm down with you."

"Okay." Tori gave in and Bobby went after Dustin.

"Why did I do that! I knew it was wrong and I said it anyway!" Tori yelled at herself.

"Tori it's okay, Dustin knows you didn't mean anything by it, he knows you are going through some stress today."

"What stress nothing happened today?"

"Tory you are falling for a guy who you have been around all day and who passed out on the beach and you probably haven't said anything to him about how you feel. And don't you sit there and try to tell me that you don't like Bobby. I can see it in the way you never get too close to him but you never get too far away either."

"Is it that obvious?" Tori asked a little embarrassed.

"Only because I have seen it so many times before." She said, "But you and Dustin are like a Brother and Sister so he can probably tell too."

"Yeah I hope he isn't too mad at me."

"He'll be fine. Don't worry."

Meanwhile Outside

"Dustin wait up man." Bobby said trying to catch up to him.

"Oh great now she doesn't even want to talk to me." He said angrily with himself.

"To be honest with you I had to stop her from coming out here." Bobby admitted to him.

"Why is that?"

"I think I can calm you down better than her right now. Because I have been there. Look we all make mistakes when it comes to who we date." Bobby said trying to calm him down, "It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Even if it nearly gets you killed?" Dustin said.

"WHOA! I mean yes. Look it doesn't matter how bad a relationship is it is never anything to be ashamed of. And besides as much as you been poking fun at Tori today are you really surprised she poked back?" he asked.

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"That's right. Now I don't need to know anything about either situation but did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe Tori is still hurting from whatever she went through. Like I said I don't know or want to know. I do know that she and I are not dating so you can chill on that one." He said.

"What don't you like her or is she not good enough for you?" Dustin said in a mix of humor and anger.

"Oh now you want to give me a hard time about it. Well that's the Dustin I came out here to get. Yeah I like her who wouldn't. But I just met her and I am in no condition to try to be dating anybody right now. And if you tell her I said that I will kill you." He joked.

"Okay but if you ask me, she is totally feeling you plus you two would make a good couple. But know that if you hurt her I'll kill you."

"I'll keep that in mind. So you good?" he asked getting back on subject.

"Yeah I feel better now thanks."

"No problem but are we good enough to put this behind us and go to the races?" Bobby asked.

"Yeah! Let's go get Tori."

"Alright let's go."

"Oh and I won't say any thing to Tori about you liking her." Dustin said as he ran ahead a few steps to avoid getting smacked by Bobby.

"And that's the guy I came out here to get back?" he asked no one in particular as he followed Dustin to the back of the room.

Dustin upon seeing how upset Tori was went to apologizing, "Look Tori I'm sorry about giving you such a hard time all day and about blowing up like that."

"No Dustin it was my fault I crossed the line there at the end and I promise it won't happen again." She told him, " So are we okay?"

"You know I can't stay mad at you." He said as they hugged.

Kelly walked over to Bobby and asked, "What did you say to him? You work faster than Dr. Phil."

Bobby laughed, "That is because I don't have sponsors. As for what I said to him it wasn't much like he said "He can't stay mad at her." Or something like that."

Kelly seeing them still hugging, "If you guys still want to catch the races you should probably get going."

"Yeah you're right. Do you guys still want to go?" she asked finally breaking the embrace with Dustin.

"I don't know about you guys but I could go for a bit of normalcy." Bobby said.

"Yeah me too. How about it Tor?"

"Let's go."

A/N This may not be the best place to stop but it is all I have right now. Plus I can't even see straight anymore so I am gonna call it a night. Also I would like to say that I am not a fan of Dr. Phil it just was the first thing that popped into my head. As always please read and review and yes I know it was a lot of dialog but it will get better I think. Quick Question though did anybody read my AN for the last Ch and look up who Mitch Hedberg is? I will simply say that he is one of my all-time favorite comedians. So is Carlos Mencia so remember "If You Aint Laughing You Aint Living."
