"Where's Darrel?" Tori asked looking around the room.

"He's in the movie theatre, I told him to stay there tonight" I shrugged, rolling my shoulders back to release the unwanted tension.

Tori cautiously crawled out if her bed and walked over to mine and I move over to make some room for her.

She doesn't crawl under the covers, just lays on top of them and I snuggled into my pillows watching her from the corner of my eye. She was facing the ceiling her hands placed over her stomach carefully and her eyes wide open.

I on the other hand, was lying on my stomach my body hidden under the big fluffy comforter.

"Blue" Tori grins at the ceiling and I raise my head.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Blue" she stated like it was obvious.

I shook my head still not understanding what she meant.

She sighed and explained "There's this game I know" Tori starts "I say a word and you reply with the first word that comes to mind" she shrugged and finally looked at me.

I stared at her for a moment and she gestured for me to speak.

"Blue" she said again.

"Tori" I said.

"Lights" she bounced back.

"This is gonna sound stupid" I ran my fingers through my hair and drape the strands over my face "but I think of lights"

Tori laughed and replied "flying"

"Freedom"

"Rage"

"Fight"

"Violence"

"War"

"Blood"

"Spilled"

"Bubble"

"That Quote!" I exclaimed jumping up to look at Tori and nearly falling off the bed.

"What?" She asked staring at the ceiling again.

"The quote that says "No matter how old I am. If I see a bubble I will hunt it down" I explained collapsing back into the bed and pulling the blanket up around my chin.

"Okay..." Tori dragged the word out suspiciously and the shouted "Laughter"

"Fun"

"Paint"

"The first time I really got to know you"

Tori was silent for a moment and I noticed the ghost of a smile appear on her face as she laughed coldly.

"Weapons" she snapped.

"My cousin" I shrugged and I saw her glance at me suspiciously.

"Boy"

"Haha" I stutter shaking my hair in front of my face again. "Date" I lie through my teeth and I can tell Tori knows I'm not being truthful but she lets it slide.

"Hunger"

"The orphaned" I mutter and Tori looks at me with concern.

"Cage" she says slowly.

"Something I never want to be in" I sighed moving a little to get more comfortable.

"Star" she whispered.
