First I gotta say that I squee everytime I get a review. You guys and girls are awesome! Second I've gotta apologize that I haven't updated my stories in a while. It's just that so much have been going on! Homework, my friend's brother was attacked, duties at home, etc., so I haven't had much time to write much. But I try, I really do! I just get so easily distracted.

This is still set from Tori's POV.

Chapter three: Understanding

I dialed Kira's number again. I wondered if she thought I'd becomed a stalker or something. Hunter and Dustin let me try to talk to Kira in peace, and walked out to the backyard instead. As I saw the affection in their eyes as they looked at eachother I felt the ache again. I so wanted to share that with Kira!

I took a deep breath, and waited, and waited. She probably won't pick up I thought glumly. I was just about to give up when the phone was picked up.

"Tori." Kira's voice was short.

"Kira, just listen to me," I said quickly. "Please."

I heard her take a deep breath and let it out in a sigh. "I'm listening."

I swallowed. "Look, you said you like me. And I guess in more than a friend-like me." I said, holding the phone in a tight grip.

"Yeah." she said quietly. "But Tori, it's no big deal! Just let it be, please!"

"So you don't want to be more than friends?" I ask, just as quiet as she had first spoken.

"I... what?"

"Kira, I've been trying to talk to you to tell you I like you. Alot. But you've just been hanging up on me." I said. "Just... I..." I had no idea what more to say.

"God." Kira whispered. "And I thought you were just trying to say that you'd never be able to like me that way."

"But I do," I said. "And I have for I don't know how long. It feels like a eternity."

"Yeah," Kira agreed. "It does. Tori, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," I said. "I can understand why." I smile faintly, even though she can't see it.

The day has brightened slightly, and I take a deep breath. "Can we meet?"

"Sure," Kira said, and I could hear a tinge of nervousity in her voice. "Where?"

"Anywhere." I said, smiling even more now.

I could detect a smile in her voice too. "Think you'll be able to come to Hayley's tonight? I have a gig there, and we can talk afterwards."

I nod. "Sure," I said. "I'll get there by tonight."

"Great!" I could only chuckle at her enthusiasm. "I see you then. Bye."

"Bye." I said, and hung up. I let go of the phone, and beamed happily. But it slowly fell. What the hell would happen now?

I turn and look towards the door to the backyard, where I could see Hunter watch Dustin play with their puppy. I walk out and take a deep breath.

Hunter looked up at me. "Well?" he asked. I sat down beside him.

"I think things are going to be okay." I said after a minute of silence.

Hunter smiled and squeezed my shoulder. "So do I."

Gaah, short chapter, I know, and I'm so, so sorry! -hides under a rock- I'll get the next one longer!

But I need help. Should I continue to write this from Tori's POV? Or should I change to Kira's? Or write in third person?
