(Sophie's POV)

"Soph, please come with me!" he said. "It will be fun!" he said. I'm never trusting Austin and Alex again. These two idiots brought me to a club and they were now partying on the dance floor.

They took me away from my sweats and hoodie to replace them with a dress and these heels that were killing me. I saw Alex look at his phone and then walk into the hallway. I rolled my eyes. Of course they would be drinking and leave me alone.

I started walking up to Austin on the dance floor. "Hey I'm heading back home." I said patting his back.

"No Soph, you can't, not alone." I just huffed.

"Austin what's the worst that can happen? I'll be fine." With that I made my way through the sweaty bodies and stepped out into the cool night. And here I am walking, walking, walking, and suddenly my ankle twists.

"Ugh!" Did my heel really have to snap? Right now? Really?! I mentally cursed at myself for not wearing slippers.

(FLASHBACK)

"But why can't I wear my slippers with this dress? They're comfortable though." I pouted at Austin. All he did was roll his eyes and shake his head no.

"Wear those heels Soph. They'll match the dress."

(END OF SHORT FLASHBACK)

"Wear those heels Soph," I mimicked his voice but in a deeper way. "They'll match the dress."

Well my slippers would've matched the dress too!

Let's see, let's see. Ok. Only five more blocks to go. That's not bad. I mean you know I'm just a girl, walking alone in the streets, at 2 am. I gulped. With no shoes on.

"What could possibly go wrong?" I said aloud sarcastically. I bent down to take my shoes off when I heard someone speak from behind me.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing out all alone at a time like this?" The guy said. I will admit you would think he's attractive under a different circumstance. But a stranger standing this close to you in the glim of the streetlight at 2am doesn't give off the most appealing look.

"Uh.. I'm just on my way home." I said nodding at him and turning around quickening my pace.

"Not so fast," he said hand on my hip. "Now where do you think you're going." he slurred, whispering in my ear. Yup. He's definitely drunk. You could literally smell the alcohol flooding out of his mouth.

"I don't, please d-don't hurt me." I cried out. There was a lump forming in my throat and all I wanted was to be in my house, snuggled up under the duvet on Tumblr.

"Why don't you-" but he didn't have time to finish because he was throw from the side into the street.

Hunter stepped over to him and clenched his fist. Now you have to understand Hunter isn't that tall of a guy. And this drunk dude was easily 6 ft. But Hunter was furious. "Get out!" He yelled. Yet the drunk didn't seem to process what had just happened.

"Do I have to repeat that again or do you want to replay the scene that just happened?" The drunk gulped and scurried away mumbling about how he was sorry. Huh. Sorry my butt. I noticed Hunter was still in the street, fist clenched and neck vein throbbing watching him walk away. I walked up to him and unclenched his hand. He turned around shocked and let out a sigh.

He took my hand and walked me home. Nothing but silence the whole 10 minutes. We entered the house and he led me up to my room.

"I'm gonna change really quick." I said mumbling. Feeling awkward to how he's reacting to the whole situation. It wasn't my fault. Or was it? I shook the thought out of my head as I switched my clothes, washed my face, and brushed my teeth. I stepped out of the bathroom to see Hunter pacing about running his hands through his hair.

I cleared my throat which made him stop his walking and look me straight in the eyes. Tears were outlining his eyes begging to break free. My heart broke at that moment. How could I have done this? I should've listened to Austin and he was the drunk one! Not me! I went over to him and his hands shot up to wipe his eyes but I held them down. We just stood there in that position for 3 minutes or so until he spoke.

"I'm so sorry Soph. I'm a horrible boyfriend." I gasped at his comment and immediately lifted his head up to meet my face.

"Hunter this was not your fault. It wasn't any of our faults. That can happen to anyone in the world." He shook his head and held my hands.

"But the thing was that I wasn't there for you. Alex called me and asked if I could pick you up from the club because they were both drunk and as soon as I got there Austin tells me you left alone. So I went looking for you and, and-"

He couldn't finish his sentence. And at that moment he just let all his tears burst. Seeing him like this made me cry. He hugged me as if I were going to disappear any second. Once we were both calm enough to somewhat form words he spoke again.

"Sophie, I'm so sorry ok. For the way I acted for, for everything. When I saw that guy with his hands on you I-"

I put my finger up to his lips silencing him. "It's ok." I said grasping his hand.

"Things happen for a reason." I encouraged him. He just sighed and nodded.

"Lets rest alright?" I agreed and went up to the headboard ready to be buried in blankets.

He took off his shirt and I can't possibly seem to find the correct words to describe how perfect he is. He saw my mouth open and winked. I blushed hard and flipped my body to the right side of the mattress. He climb in and put his hand on my waist. "Is this ok?" He whispered unsure.

"It's absolutely perfect." I smiled at how careful he was.

"Goodnight Sophie, I love you."

I smiled and said,"I love you too Hunter."

For the past three hours I had been lying in bed trying to come up with an answer to why I was laying in bed with Hunter when he could have any other fit girl that he wanted. "Why me?" I whispered aloud. I mean I wasn't fat. But yet I wasn't skinny. I guess I was somewhere in between.

Yes, I did have "love handles" and some stretch marks from gaining weight and then losing it. Why would he want me when he could have a girl that where's size zero jeans? Like one of those models. I smirked. Yeah but they weren't "real people". Yeah but Hunter could still have him. At that thought my smirk went away and was replaced with a frown. I got out of bed and walked over to my mirror. I examined my body once more and huffed.

"Why can't I be like all those other girls?" I asked myself as I quietly cried myself to sleep for the remainder of the night.
