After walking for a few minutes we had arrived at Hunter's, I insisted that I would be okay, especially that I would be okay with Hunter. We said goodbye and I knocked on their door. After just a minute they opened and hugged me, I could tell they were looking at something in the distance but I didn't think much of it, only being happy we were not fighting. When they closed the door I was immediately pulled through the house, towards Hunter's room. They slammed the door shut and turned towards me excitedly,

"Omg, you have to tell me what happened?" me just standing confused staring at them not connecting what it was they were referring to. "Well, you and sir hot you're working with."

"Well nothing has happened. Especially what you're referring to." i shoot a harsh glare towards them trying to stop this conversation before it will occur but by the look of it hunter will not let this go, not in a long time.

"Oh, well something has definitely happened, he followed you here, and your shift ended multiple hours ago, and he was still with you, so something obviously happened. He even stopped like 100 meters away to look back, and guess what he looked sad when he walked away, he walked with his head low."

"I don't know what you are referring to exactly, but Tyler is an amazing guy, he was just concerned because: I had a panic attack this morning, we talked about a lot and among that i showed him my arms, he got really worried when we talked this afternoon and i told him for how long it all has been going on. I think he takes pity on me." It was true, almost everyone takes pity on me once they find out tha shit about me except if they also is mentaly ill, they get scared and either: run away, treat me like a fragile prosline doll, or just look at me with pity, and neither of them are good.

"Well he still looked sad when he walked away, not the way people take pity on oneself, he looked genuinely sad to leave. Maybe that is because he likes you" Hunter dragged out the entire last sentence as some form of mockery that I haven't understood it, but it couldn't be true, it can't be true.

"He doesn't like me, we've talked a bit, and maybe even becoming friends. But that's it."

"That might be all you know, but have you talked to him about it? If you haven't then there is no chance in hell that you know how he feels, you should know that better than anyone."

"Yeah yeah yeah, but it's not like I can just bring it up in a normal conversation like 'hey, my friend thinks you like me, and I just wanted to know if they were right or not.' that would be crazy even for you to do." hunter just rolled their eyes to this but they knew I was right.

"I'm guessing you don't have a better idea?" I don't but that one is impossible to do.

"Still I'm not doing it, he will think I'm completely fucked up, I might be close to it but not so badly I will do that. You can try to convince me all you want, I'm not doing anything reckless, besides he doesn't know about me." I gave them a pleading look hoping they would understand.

"So then you do that first, letting him in 'cause so far you have opened up a lot already for being you. And before you can say anything with the day you have had you will be staying here tonight."

"'Before I can say anything'? you mean I don't have a choice?"

"exactly" I sighd happy to have company tonight, it wasn't the first time Hunter did something like this, altho every summer would be like this, taking turns us living at each other.

I was woken up by Hunter shaking my shoulders.

"ugh, what now?" I grunted, turning around wanting to go to sleep again.

"You have to wake up, you start work in 45 minutes. So unless you want to be late I suggest you get up now." I flew up, sitting on the side of the bed staring at Hunter in disbelief.

"Wait, what did you just say?" it can't be true, I slept thru the entire night, no nightmares, no nothing, that havent happened in years.

"What the 'you are going to be late?' What's so special about that? you haven't woken up yet, so what?" Hunter was surprised at how excited I was.

"No, you don't get it. I haven't been able to sleep one full night without nightmares or waking up in the middle of the night, for I don't know how long."

"Well that is good, but you have to get up if you want to be on time to your job." They practically lifted me out of bed so I would get up. "chop, chop"
