HUNTER'S POV
Yesterday I and Bryan had an argument because of Veronica.
Why is he even interested in her? honestly,I haven't seen Bryan act this way because of any girl.
Anyway, I'm not giving her up.
That girl is fire and I want to have a taste.
Or should I just ask her out? When I get tired of her I will just dump her as usual,She will move on.
I brought out my phone and dialed her number.
"Hey,"she said as she answered on the first ring.
"Hi,are you at home?" I asked her.
"Yeah,What's up?" she asked.
"I want to come over." I replied.
"Well I'm kind of busy right now and I have a guest so maybe another time." she said.
"Okay,another time it is then." I replied disappointed.
"Hope there is nothing wrong?" she asked.
"There is nothing wrong,I just miss you and I wanted to see you." I replied.
"Okay,bye then." she replied before I ended the call.
She didn't even say she miss me too.
well,this is just the beginning because very soon she will start begging for my attention.
They all do.

VERONICA
Hunter just called and he said he misses me.
Does he have feelings for me?
well,I hope not because I'm not ready for any relationship stuff right now and come to think of it,I don't really trust that guy.
As I stood up,I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to bring out my favorite orange juice but as I started pouring it, I remembered something.
*********FLASHBACK*********
"We will go upstairs for a while." he said as I followed him upstairs even though I didn't want to.
It was as if something was forcing me to move against my will.
As we got upstairs,he started unzipping my shorts and I tried to move but he won't let me.
"stay put!"he warned and I was too weak to push him off me.
He succeeded in removing all my clothes until I was left only in my panties.
He was hovering above me and I tried to call out for help but I couldn't even hear my own voice.
I started becoming weaker but before I could fully drown into the sleep, I heard that voice that I can never forget.
BRYAN KLEIN!!
He rushed into the room and pushed Hunter off me.
******PRESENT TIME********
"What the hell?" I asked myself as I remembered what happened that night.
I can't believe he tried to force himself on me.
A cold chill ran down my spine.
So he has been lying to me all these while.
I can't be more greatful to Bryan for coming to my rescue that day.
"What would have happened if he hadn't come?"I asked myself as a sick feeling rested on my stomach.
I really need to stay away from HUNTER BUSH, that guy is bad news.
I need to call Sam and tell him what I just remembered.
I quickly forgot about the orange juice I was about to take and ran to my room to get my phone.
"Hey, Vee" I heard someone call from the bottom of the stairs and when I turned it was Stephanie.
This girl really don't know the right timing.
I know I'm not meant to be pissed at her because she didn't do anything to offend me but I just can't help it.
"Hi." I said not bothering to smile because my jaw refused to cooperate in the fake smile.
I know she wants to say more but I really need to make this call so I will know the next thing to do.
"Sorry,I really need to go to my room right now." I said to her as I quickly turned and went inside my room.
I didn't miss the disappointment in her eyes.
Excuse me,I don't hate her but I know we would never click.
As I got inside my room,I dialed Sams number but he wasn't answering his phone.
I tried for another five times and it was still the same thing.
I really need someone to talk to right now.
I dialed Jennifer's number but it was switched off and that was when I noticed it was drizzling as I looked outside my window.
I just sat down on my bed and started thinking about what would have happened if Bryan didn't come inside the room that day.
It started raining heavily and trust me,it didn't help my thoughts at all or clear my sick feeling.
Instead It made everything worse.
I was left alone with my own thoughts before I heard the door bell ring.
I quickly got up and went to the door.
when I got there,I looked into the peep hole on the door and it was Sam and Jennifer and they were both drained.
I quickly opened the door and they got inside.
They were both freezing and I was not surprised because,it was almost the end of November, which means winter is near if it's not even here already.
Sam quickly went to the fireplace and Jennifer was hot on his heel.
As they both got there,I told them I will go get the towels which earned me a smile and positive nod from the both of them.
As I got upstairs,I kept on thinking of how they came together both drained.
When I got down with the towel,I noticed that Sam is shirtless and Jennifer was just staring at him.
No,they were both staring at themselves with lust and admiration.
"Hello, I'm back." I said as the both of them quickly came back to their senses and Sam gave me the eye that says "why didn't you take your time and not intrude?" I smilled and gave the both of them one towel each.
Jennifer requested for any of my clothes she can change into so I told her to follow me upstairs.
I gave her a green hoodie which I didn't like but she collected it and said she likes it so I asked her to keep it.
I also gave her one if my black leggings.
As we got downstairs,I remembered that Sam wasn't wearing a shirt and I don't want him to freeze so I got to Liams room and knocked but no one answered.
Maybe he already left with Steph.
I slowly opened the door and looked inside and my guess was right.
No one was there.
I entered inside and took one of his old T-shirt and a black sweat pant.
"You can change into this,Liam won't mind." I said as I handed it to Sam.
He went to my room to change as I decided to sit down close to Jennifer on the couch.
"Spill." I said and she didn't waste any second before she started telling me of how Sam asked her for her content the day I left the both of them in my living room.
They have been hanging out together and she wanted to tell me today but she is already doing that now.
"So,what happened today?" I asked her with a smirk because I want the full story.
She started blushing before she told me that he came to her house and they planned on coming to my house after having a little fun alone.
"What fun?" I asked again smilling because I was truly Happy for my bestie.
There is nothing sweeter than seeing your two favorite people fall for each other.
"Well we kissed, two times and it was mind blowing." she said giggling like a child watching Disney junior.
"Already?" I asked with my own giggle.
I didn't know Sam had it in him.
"Yeah." She said with a nod as Sam came down and the grin on his face shows that he knows what we are talking about.
I haven't forgotten about what I remembered about the party but I want to wait for when Sam and I are alone before I spill because, Jennifer don't really know about Hunter and I don't think I'm completely comfortable to tell her what happened.
I mean, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
VERONICA
After Jennifer left,I told Sam about what I remembered and he was really furious.
"That guy must be crazy." he said with anger.
"Clearly, so what do you think I should do now? because I can't look at him without seeing what happened that night." I asked Sam.
"I won't advice you approach him or ask him anything but the only thing I can tell you is what I have always told you since the first day he approached you.
Just stay away from him because that is the only favour you can do to yourself concerning this situation right now.
Atleast I'm greatful and happy that Bryan intervened and stopped him from carrying out such disgusting act."
As we continued talking,my phone started ringing and the both of us turned to look at the caller ID at the same time.
"It's Hunter,what will I do now?" I asked him.
"What else will you do? ignore the call." Sam replied as if my question was a dumb one.
I guess it was.
I ignored the call but he called for another six times before he stopped calling.
"Let's talk about something else please I'm really tired of talking about Hunter." I said.
"Okay,if you say so." he replied with a shrug.
"So, what's the deal between you and Jennifer?"I asked smilling.
"I like her,obviously." he replied blushing.
"Jeez,are you blushing right now?" I asked laughing out loud.
Never thought I would see this day.
"I really like her. I ju.. just,I have never felt like this towards anyone." he said.
"What about Stephanie, didn't you feel that way about her too?" I asked curious.
"Jennifer is different,Stephanie was just like an ordinary crush but what I feel for Jennifer is deep.I just can't get a grip on what it is." he said looking confused.
I feel like it's too early, but who am I to spoil his happiness?
"Well,I don't know but do you plan on asking her out, like officially as your girlfriend?"I asked him.
"Hell Yeah,but I'm scared.
what if she just see me as a one time fling?" he asked.
"You can never know until you ask her.
Just give her a little time so that the both of you will get to know more about each other first and more importantly,she has to be comfortable around you and I mean the real you." I replied as I placed my foot on the centre table.
"But that applies to her too,you have to be sure she is the one you want before getting into anything deep with her.
I can't afford to witness any heart break because I really don't want to be forced to pick sides." I said.
"Whoa,whoa,slow down missy.I haven't even asked her." he replied laughing.
"But you will." I said with a smile.
"Well,I plan on doing that but what if she don't feel the same way?" he asked again.
"You guys have kissed right? I don't think Jennifer will allow a guy she doesn't have feelings for kiss her more than once." I said with a yawn.
"Anyway,as much as I enjoy this discussion I'm really tired.
It's late so maybe you should go home." I said as Sam stood up.
"We will talk at school tomorrow then." he said as he headed to the door.
"Yeah,bye" I said as I stood up to lock the door after him.
Today has been a long day.
***********************
As I got to my room,I took a quick shower because I was really tired.
I haven't even had dinner,maybe I will go get something from the kitchen because I'm so hungry and I know I won't stay for breakfast tomorrow morning.
As I finnished taking a shower,I dried my body and wore my pyjamas.
I loosened my hair from the knot it was tied with on top my head.
As I headed to the kitchen,I heard mum talking to someone in a low tone.
"what's wrong?" I asked as I entered into the kitchen and saw mum talking to Liam who was leaning on the kitchen counter. I didn't miss the moody atmosphere though.
"Honey,you are still awake?" mum said as she motioned for me to come closer.
"Yeah,I just wanted to grab something before I go to bed but you guys seem to be having a serious discussion here." I replied as I went to where she was standing and leaned on her shoulder.
"Honey,we are getting a divorce." she said in a low tone.
I know I have been expecting it but it was still painful.
"Who is having an affair?" I asked as the tears threatened to spill.
"Sweetheart, no one cheated. I don't know if I should say we just don't love each other anymore.
I don't want to give you any false feelings about marriage but this has been going on for a while now and we have to end this marriage." she said.
"So, what's going to happen to me and Liam,who are we going to stay with?" I asked and by now the tears was already pouring.
"Your dad and I haven't talked about it yet but you guys are going to be staying with me for the time being." she replied.
"Okay,I really don't know what to say right now.I just want to go to my room and I guess dad is not coming home today then." I said as I headed to my room.
I have even lost my appetite.
"Liam couldn't even say anything and I know he is as shocked as I am.
I quickly rushed to my room and drowned in my own tears.
*********************
As I woke up this morning,I was surprised I didn't have headache after the tears I shed before bed yesterday.
I took a warm shower and put on a dark blue skinny jeans with a big black hoodie.
I also wore a black beanie and didn't forget to rap my blue scarf around my neck,today is really cold.
As I got downstairs,I heard Sam's car horn from outside my gate.
I was even surprised I had the energy for school today after what mum told me yesterday.
well,life goes on but I don't think so.
Maybe it's because I haven't calmed down to think about how this divorce is going to affect our lives.
I can't deny that I saw it coming though.
I took my bag,an apple and a bottled water before rushing outside.
"Hey," I said as I got into the car.
"Hi." he told me with a smile.
I fastened my seat belt then he drove off.
After taking our books from our lockers,we went to class.
I told Sam about the divorce and he was really surprised but I told him not to tell his parents until they find out by themselves because they are very close to my parents.
I made up my mind that I will approach Bryan today and thank him for helping me that night but as for Hunter, I don't know what to do for now but I really don't think I will be able to stand his presence.
