☄Darkness in the Way of My Dreams (1x1)

Her heart felt warm with his words. Tori smiled gently while he confessed his love to her. "It means the world to me when you say that.....and you've become my life as well. But Jennifer....she won't allow it. I won't mind if you go with her for a night, I'll just wait here for you." she suggested. Not wanting for Aer to completely dump Jennifer. Though it makes Tori jealous that Aer will be with her, she had a pure heart so she'd rather be hurt than hurt someone else.

While Tori was sitting, her cuts began to sting. She was suppose to clean them right away but it seems like things became worst. "Owww..." she whispered to herself, grasping the cuts with her hand. Trying to stop the burning sensation that she felt on them. A few tears fell down, the pain became unbearable that she fell back on her bed. Rolling back and firth trying to make the pain stop.

Aer was about to tell her about what he had in mind for a plan, when he re-noticed the cuts and gashes on her bloody arm. "God, Tori... Those must hurt." He sat down beside her, examining them. Some were deeper than others, and he feared that they would become infected. "We have to take you to the doctors." His mother worked at their doctor office, and she had a night shift that night. She could help. Taking her hand in his, he led her towards the door. "Come on. This is serious."

Tori shook her head and pulled him back on the bed. "No, its okay. I clean them here." she got up and grabbed the hydrogen peroxide and some cotton balls. Pouring some of the liquid on the ball until it was damp, she began to rub her cuts. It stung and it was very painful, but Tori tries to endure it with tears occasionally falling.

Admiring her handywork, Aer sat down on her chair by the desk, leaning his head up against the back of it. He watched her carefully, guilt spurring as he wondered if the tears were coming from the pain, or from the hurt he had inflicted upon her. "I know how to make Jennifer dump me," he said suddenly, waiting for her to reply.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori looked up at Aer and his proposal, "How will you do thahhhhhh!" she quietly yelled feeling the stinging of the liquid. It bubbled, showing that the wounds were being cleaned.

Moments later she finished, putting the cleaner away and sitting back on her bed. She looked at Aer and waited for him to respond to her question.

[Cloudsong]

"I'll just act like my old self," Aer said simply. He smiled slightly as he imagined the look on Jennifer's face when he came to school looking like a complete nerd. "She'll dump me before I can say hello." It would also humiliate her for going out with a nerd, and that was definitely a plus to the equation.

"But she's seen you the way you really are, so she might still keep you..." she muttered looking down. Tori was scared that Jennifer won't bite into Aer's plan, but she hoped for the best.

Then tori walked to Aer and took his hand. She gave him a small kiss and looked at him deeply, with abhint of worry upon her face.

[Cloudsong]

Aer shook his head. "After she sees how I act, she'll be begging me to go with someone else." He grinned, and leaned over to kiss her cheek. "Come with me; let's go to her house now." He knew that at this time of the day, the girl would be out at the mall, and with her friends. It would be better to have an audience anyway, and he was looking forward to it.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Tori didn't really want to be mean to Jennifer, but at the same time she wanted to see what Aer was going to do. She follows Aer as they drive to the mall.

Moments later, they reached the mall. It only took moments to find preppy girls laughing while looking for cute boys. Their laugh could be detected by a deaf person from a mile. Tori took Aer's hand nervously while she waited for him to go to Jennifer. She kept her distance because she didn't want trouble.

Aer kissed Victoria's cheek before putting on his dorky glasses once again, and releasing her hand. "Watch and learn," he said, winking as he approached the group of giggling girls. He came up to Jennifer and stuck his face in hers, obnoxiously saying; "What're you looking at?" He pushed his glasses closer to his nose, smiling angelically as if he done something amusing.

Jennifer pulled away sharply, and looked at him in disbelief. "Oh, hey, Aer..."

"Hey, sweety," he said, grinning widely as he tried to put his arm around her. Her friends burst out laughing, and Jennifer blushed, shocked.

"What are you doing?" she hissed.
