Dream
Star was inside a house that looked all to familiar and she had a weird feeling in her stomach. Her back was turned and she looked at the pictures on the wall.

Hunter:I always hoped to see you again.

Her heart dropped and she jumped before turning around. She backed away from Hunter afraid of what he was gonna do to her.

Star:Stay away from me, I mean it.
Hunter:I'm not gonna hurt you Star.
Star:Hunter I swear if you move any closer-
Hunter:What? What are you gonna do Star?

It was almost as if her words got trapped in her throat and Hunter chuckled.

Hunter:You know I would've never thought you'd move on, especially so quickly. And you have a baby now, you know that could've been us.
Star:It would've never been us.
Hunter:And why not?

Star let out a dry chuckle.

Star:So we're gonna stand here and act like you didn't beat me?
Hunter:You were the one who caused it Star.
Star:I caused it?
Hunter:Yeah Star, the slick comments that you made. You deserved it.
Star:Just like you deserved what happened to you, karma at its finest. And with how you treated the women before me as well, of course it was gonna catch up to you.
Hunter:What did you say?

Hunter moved closer and she took a few steps back before he chuckled.

Hunter:Your still scared, I've been dead for 2 years and even in your dreams I can still scare you. I still got a hold on you.
Star:You know your part of the reason I'm fucked up right? It's hard for me to trust the man I'm currently with because of you.
Hunter:Good. You deserve it.
Star:I deserve it?
Hunter:When you were with me and I talked with you about starting a family you told me off the bat you didn't want that, when I brought up marriage with you you always changed the topic. Now you're out here with a stranger in a relationship with a baby.
Star:You mean my son which wasn't planned? Or better yet the fact that I feel comfortable speaking about marriage with someone who I don't feel is pressuring me.
Hunter:I WANTED A FAMILY STAR, I WANTED TO GET MARRIED TO YOU, I WANTED TO BE THE PERSON YOU WOKE UP TO.
Star:YEAH WELL HUNTER YOU JUST WEREN'T.
Hunter:WHY STAR?
Star:YOU BEAT ME HUNTER. YOU HIT ME AND IT WASN'T RIGHT. YOU CALLED ME OUT OF MY NAME, AND WE MOVED TOO FAST.
Hunter:I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING STAR. I CARED ABOUT YOU, I LOVED YOU.
Star:YEAH WELL I DIDN'T FEEL THE SAME. YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO LOVE YOU WHEN I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE. AND YOU WANTED ME TO PUT MY DREAMS ASIDE WHEN I DIDN'T WANT TO.
Hunter:YOU KNOW WHAT STAR? YOUR UNGRATEFUL.
Star:IF I'M UNGRATEFUL YOUR CRAZY. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN DOING IN MY DREAMS ANYWAY?

Hunter started chuckling and Star took a few more steps back, she had an uneasy feeling and Hunter started moving closer.

Hunter:Something's gonna come after you, and it's gonna happen when you least expect it. And your not gonna know when or how. But when it does, you better hope and pray that it doesn't kill you.
Star:What're you talking about?

Hunter started laughing and the uneasy feeling got worse. His laughs started to get louder and Star had tears brimming in her eyes.

Star woke up from the dream and sat up in the bed. She had a shiver go down her spine and took a deep breath. It was dark in the room and she got up from the bed and went to open the doors to Noah's bedroom balcony. She went and rested her arms on the railing and felt the cool breeze hit her. The dream she had felt so real and it scared her a little. Out of all the bad things she did the one she regretted probably the most was almost giving up Davis and getting involved with Hunter. But Hunter did the most damage to her physically, mentally, and emotionally. She felt someone wrapped their arms around her from behind causing her to jump a little.
