One Shadow on the Wall One Coffee Cup (a Hunter Hayes Fanfic)

Chapter 8

After my episode, I go back to the restaurant like I promised the girls. They are already on Twitter. “What are you guys doing?” I ask.

Christina looks up from her screen and replies. “We are on our Magcon fan accounts. We are talking to other fans and trying to get Nash Grier’s attention. Maybe you should make one for Hunter. You two seemed to get along well. And you seem like a big fan!”

This is the reason Christina is my favorite. While she may be boy crazy, she’s pretty nice. I take her advice, and set up a fan twitter account along with my personal. I don’t get on twitter, but this could be my excuse to actually do so.

The first thing I do is follow Hunter and his gang. Then I follow all the active and interesting hayniacs I can find. There’s a few that went to the concert tonight! There’s one in particular that seems like a funny and interesting person. I follow them and dm them to talk.

We leave the restaurant and get into Maddie’s car. I’m still on my phone talking to this hayniac, who I find out is named Hayley. We have talked for forever. Turns out she is eighteen too! She’s from Nashville Tennessee and travels a lot. We have a lot of things in common. We both don’t like horror movies, but would watch them possibly. We love music and Hunter Hayes. We watch the same shows, like the same shoes, and wear the same kind of clothes. We have so much in common.

It’s been three weeks since the concert. Not much has happened in real life, but in internet life, there has. I reached eight hundred followers on twitter, and Hayley reached a thousand! We even arranged a meet up! She got tickets for both of us to a Hunter concert in Nashville! The concert is in two months and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m already making a shirt and a poster!

 Hunter will bring people on stage to sing if they ask so on their poster, so that’s what I’m doing! Also, Hayley and I are making shirts that read, “I met my best friend at a Hunter Hayes concert!”

So a lot is gonna happen in two months. I mean, that’s a long time! But it’s summer break! Break started three days ago, and I’m determined to complete my summer bucket list, if I actually had one. Truth is, I have no summer plans except for the concert and meet up with Hayley. Since I have no plans, I realize my mom still hasn’t been back. She’s been to prison once before, but for something minor, but I call the prison anyway.

“Hello?” a lady picks up.

“Hi, my name is Shayna Aubat. Is Mary Aubat in jail?”

“Let me check… Yeah, she’s been here for a month and a half. I’m assuming you’re her daughter.”

“Yeah that would be me. Could I ask why she’s in there?”

“Apparently two months ago she went over your father’s house. He has a restraining order against her, so that broke the law first. But, she didn’t go to his house for no reason. After the investigation, they found out she pretended to be okay and talk to him. But turns out she had come over to hurt him. The next morning your father was found dead, that’s when we took your mother in. I’m so sorry sweetie. Are you alone? If so, you’re a minor and we’d have to take you in.”

“Um, no. I’m at my friend’s house right now, until my older cousin comes home. I’m okay, just wondering what had happened.”

With that, I hang up the phone. I lied to a cop. I actually lied to a cop! Why? I don’t know, but I did. I slump down on the floor into a ball. I feel my face heating up, so it’s turning fire engine red. The tears have already form, and race their way down my face. But I don’t care who wins, because I can’t keep track. I don’t even both cupping my hands over my face, since nobody can hear the sobs that follow.
