Its Monday, and I sit in Speech. Hunter was supposed to do his project today. I look to my left and no ones in his seat. I was wondering where he was.

"Ms? Can I go to the restroom?" I ask, she pauses, "Sure, Harvey" I leave quickly and stand outside the classroom.

"hunterrrrrrr where r u"

I furrow my eyebrows, wondering where this motherfucker is. Ill find Kevin later today and ask if he knows anything. I walk back into speech class where someone is just starting their speech on how to knit a sweater. Great

In the lunchroom, I see Emily and Kevin talking at a table. I quickly join them, "I think this is just his way of getting back at me" Kevin says.

"What happened?" I ask, Emily smiles at me.

"Me and Hunter got in a huge fight about me playing with Mollycoddle once, and how I might play with them during the battle of the bands. I told him I might just not be right for Skullfucker and left. Nows hes not here, has he texted you?" He asks, visibly concerned about his friend.

I shake my head, "I was wondering the same thing" I chuckle a bit. "Well Im sure hes okay right? The battle of the bands is on Friday so im sure he'll be back by then." Emily says, her accent soothes us, I feel better about the situation with Emilys reassurance.

Days go by, its now Friday morning. Im even more worried now because Hunter hasn't been here all week. Ive left a million texts, and called him a whole bunch of times too. I give up and call his home phone.

"Hello?" His dads voices says, sounding frustrated

"Hey! Is Hunter there?" I ask

"Oh hey Harvey, no- Hunters not here right now"

"Wait what? Where is he then?" I ask in a concerned tone

"Rehab" His dad says

Rehab?? Why the fuck would Hunter be in Rehab. He is the most sober person I've ever met. He never drinks, never smokes. Why was he there??

"Oh, thank you. Tell him to call me when hes back" I say softly

"Will do"

I hang up. I text Kevin and Emily what I just heard and hurry off to school. "Bye dad!" I shout from the door, "Bye love you" I hear faintly.
