I lay in bed that night, staring at the ceiling thinking how much I missed and loved Hunter, how much I craved his warm touch and how much I wanted him to love me back, I loved stroking his hair, laughing together in the park and having fun all the time. Him and Felicity had broken up, yet he still felt out of my reach, I didn't know how to get him to love me back. If he even could love me.
I stayed staring at the ceiling for another hour before I heard something hit my window, I sat up and checked my alarm clock "It's 2.00am what the hell was that"
I stood up and grabbed the bat from under my bed creeping closer to my window. I peeked from my window as another small pebble hit the window. I sprung back as the sight of Hunter standing below my window. I opened the window and lent out to face him "What the hell?" I asked, even though i'm glad he came to see me, even if it was 2 in the morning. "You said you wanted to hang right?" He said cockily "Come down here" He said wiping his wet hair out of his face as he stood, looking up at me smiling "Wait there" I slammed the window shut, I pulled on a hoodie from the pile of dirty washing on my bedroom floor, Slid on my vans and quietly went downstairs.
I creaked open the front door and slid outside into the rain. "Your unbelievable" I said laughing covering my face from the rain. "Where'd you wanna go?" Hunter asked me I just laughed as I let down my hands so the rain dripped down us standing on front garden "You can pick" I smiled, I didn't care where we went, just spending time with him made me happy. "Lets go to the ice-rink" He smiled and grabbed my hand pulling me along and opening the door for me "You do realise its closed at 2am?" I climbed into the car and smiled at Hunter as he climbed in next to me "You are so beautiful" He said, glancing my way and driving away from my house "Thankyou Hunter" I blushed and pecked him on the cheek.
The warmth of his face made my heart do summersaults, not including the fact he called me beautiful, he turned on the radio and can I call you tonight by dayglow started playing.
'I feel close
Well, maybe I'm not, heaven knows
It's a spotlight stuck on the ceiling
Why are these the things that I'm feeling?There's so much time
For me to speak up, but I keep quiet
I'll complicate the most of the mantra
The power is out and I can't turn the fan onSo can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real anymore?
'Cause I wouldn't knowVoice so low
Sneaking around, so it goes
I always try my best to listen
Picking up things that I can fidget
Circle speed, pacing around, watching my feet
Batteries drain, I get the memo
I think that I might have to let you goSo can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real anymore?
'Cause I wouldn't knowDon't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, don't go and leave me
Don't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, don't go and leave meDon't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, don't go and leave me
Don't go, don't go so easy
Don't go, goSo can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Could you tell me what's real anymore?
'Cause I wouldn't know'We sang the song loudly smiling and laughing just having the time of our lives, "Why did you show up in my life Faye?" Hunter asked me as the song ended "I don't know" I said, thinking about what he said, was he asking me to leave his life, did he care about me? Was I a joke to him?
"Fate" He pulled into a parking spot and climbed out, he walked round to my side of the car and opened the door lending me a hand, we were in a car park, near the ice-rink, Abandoned, baron, just me and him, "The reason you showed up in my life was fate Faye" Hunter says slamming the door and turning to me and staring down at me "Or just cause I moved?" I laughed, but he didn't react, he stared into my eyes, not breaking his gaze "We were meant to find each other Faye" He said grabbing my waist and pulling me towards him.
Even after all our time apart, how I left him my feelings hadn't changed, I thought about him all the time, and from what he was saying, I think he liked me too.
"Faye, when you left me, I couldn't stop thinking about you, your gorgeous eyes and your amazing personality" He said coming closer so we were within 5 centimetres of each others faces.
My cheeks turned bright red as I stared into his deep forest green eyes. " i really missed you too Hunter, I should've never listened to Felicity and left you, I'm stupid and I was worried she would hurt you rather than me" tears filled my eyes, remembering how hurt he looked when he walked away from me in the school corridors. The words "Come back when your ready" leaving his soft pink lips.
"I'm ready" I mumbled "Your what?" A smirk formed on the corner of Hunters lips "I'm ready to come back to you" I said more confidently but still not clearly "Your what?" Hunter said chuckling to himself
"I'm ready to come back to you Hunter" I said loudly looking away "Look at me Faye" Hunter said sternly "I'm glad your back"
