... Beck was able to get her to her room safely. It wasn't like he wasn't going through a real tragedy of his own. Kelly might have had a bad rap, but she didn't deserve whatever happened to her, something that Beck really didn't want to know. Still, in this moment, he was truly concerned for Tori and what she was going through, losing someone so close. He even wondered how Jade was coping with the fact that both of her parents were gone as well. "I'm sorry about Kelly, you know," Tori said, tucking her hair behind hers which was her trademark nervous move. "I know I never really gave her a chance." "Yeah," he said taking a deep sigh. "Trina was the same way. Both of them were just lost souls, I guess. I just hope whatever happened to them… maybe they're at peace now." "I still haven't given up hope…" Tori said quietly, staring down the hall. Beck swivelled around, unsure of whether or not to give her a dose of reality or to make her feel right to maintain hope. "Maybe you're right." Without any real warning, Tori began to sob and rushed Beck to hug him, whimpering softly into his shoulder. She didn't even realize what she had done until she felt him patting her back softly. "Sorry…" she said, sniffling, praying that she didn't leave a mark on her ex's shirt.

"I've been thinking and I… I'm sorry." "For what," he said offering her a quizzical look, but she didn't see it. "For everything," she said, even more cryptically. "You know… the me and you thing, and everything that happened, and didn't happen, and then the other stuff. I never really gave you a real chance." "Tori…" he started, trying to find his words and where this was going. "I was a real jerk that last year of high school when we were together and while I got better, I can't really blame you for never trusting me after all that." "I know, but-" "It's the past," he said, reaching out and giving her a strong hug. "All that stuff is in the past and we can start anew now… as friends, of course." Beck knew the phrasing was not quite right, and quickly amended his words. Tori wasn't sure if they stood in the hallway for minutes or hours, but as they swayed ever so slowly embracing, she just knew she felt a lot better for the first time in what seemed like forever. * * * Sheriff Bobby Singer had spent the last two hours combing through the empty rooms looking for any clues as to the disappearance of the guests, hoping that there would be something that would signal where they would have gone, or more importantly, who could have done ...
