Hunter was standing outside his car. He had left the funeral but hadn't left yet, instead he stared up at the house that Debbie was in not so long ago.

"Are you heading off?"

He turned his head as Laine was walking up to him. "Soon." It was all he could manage to say before he cleared his throat and looked down at his feet.

Laine leaned on the car next to him. "I don't think you should be alone right now."

"I'm fine, Laine." Hunter shook his head.

"Look... I also don't want to be alone." Laine sighed. "Just... come back to my house. We can look through the box Mrs. G gave us. Together." She was looking at the side of his face but he didn't turn to look at her. "I know you're hurting but please don't push me away. I - I can't lose you to."

Hunter finally looked at her with tears in his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, okay."

Laine sniffled and wiped at her eyes. "Thank you, Hunter. We'll get through this together. I promise."

It was late at night as Laine and Hunter sat on her bed in her room. Laine had gone through the box Mrs. G gave them and found Debbie's camera. So, Laine and Hunter decided to watch through some old memories.

The first video played and Laine and Debbie were in a store, trying on dresses and messing around.

"No, that's it, that's the one. Look!" Debbie giggled as Laine spun around in her red dress. "Let me see your bootyshake! See? It's good!"

"Ladies, I need you to keep it down in there. We do have other customers." One of the workers said outside their changing room.

Debbie giggled and turned the camera to herself. "We were a lot cooler than we're making this seem."

Hunter stayed silent as Laine moved onto the next video, which was of the school dance night and her and Debbie were walking down the stairs with Debbie's Mum filming.

"Look at my girls!" Mrs. G said, coming over to give them each a hug. "I'm gonna cry!" She gave the camera to Debbie's dad so she could get in frame. "Aw, my girls! Look at you!" She grabbed the top of Debbie's dress that covered her breasts. "You need to pull that up a little."

Debbie looked at the camera in annoyance. "Why are you always pulling up my dress?"

The next video had been taken months before when Debbie and Hunter had still be together. It showed Hunter holding the camera as he looked at Debbie with a loving smile.

"Whether or not you have any sort of affection inside of you that you want to give to your boyfriend..."

Debbie gasped dramatically at him. "You don't think I have any affection?"
