Hunter Hayes Imagines

First Second Chance

"Hunter!" You called as he ran from the building. You hurried to a window to see him drive away, not seeming to care about the damage to his car as he shifted while in motion. As you watch him disappear you hear more footsteps and when you turn you see most of Hunter's band is exiting from the studio they must have been occupying. They look ashen. "What happened?" You ask, your voice caries down the hall and Steve turns to you.

"It's Leo, he's in the hospital."

You gasp, he was always so sweet to you even after the breakup, he took the time to explain why Hunter took it so hard when you asked to end the relationship. "Do they know why?"

"They think he had a heart attack."

Without even a second look you sprint away and hurry to collect your things. It's been 6 months since you've seen Hunter, you've only been back from tour for a week and while you were hoping you'd run into him you didn't imagine it would be like this. But you need to get to Hunter now, need to comfort him. You swipe your keys up and leave, not caring who gets mad at you for walking out. "Please God, let Leo be okay." You whisper as you start your car.

You quickly walk into the hospital and look around feeling like your mind was running a mile a minute. You could also feel your heart rapidly beating against your chest, needing to get to Hunter, to hug him, to feel someone's arms grounding you from thinking of the worst. It made tears fill your eyes but you couldn't get emotional now. You checked a few waiting rooms then went to the second floor. As the doors opened, you froze seeing the man you loved leaning against the wall at the end of the hall with his hands running over his face. Once he opened his eyes, they locked on yours. You swallowed and walked to him and stood a foot a way. Nothing was said but a few seconds of him staring into your sad eyes, he stepped close and hugged you.

"How is he?" You finally whisper into his ear.

"I don't know, no news yet."

"Hunter I'm so sorry..." With that you aren't just talking about Leo, you are also sorry for hurting him. For running away when he only wanted to love you. "I'm here for you now okay. I'm not going anywhere."

His body lurches and a strangled breath escapes from his mouth. He's trying to hold it in and be strong.

"Hunter please, you always let me cry. Now it's my turn to return the favor. It's okay." You soothe, your fingers brush the back of his head and you stroke his hair gently. Enveloped in his scent you feel calm, you feel secure. You know you can be the comfort he needs.

He lets out one sniff then dissolves into tears. You maneuver the both of you into the adjoining hallway which is less crowded. "Shh." You continue to murmur as you hold onto him and tenderly stroke his head.

"Hunter?" You hear a voice call out. Your grip tightens. It's Lynette! With how things ended with Hunter and you she never got over it. Unlike Leo, she just wanted you gone, kind of like a momma lion protecting her young. She rounds the corner and let's out a gasp. "You!"

You try to step away but Hunter keeps you close to him. You hold him close as he tries to be strong again in front of his mother.

"Mrs. Hayes..."

You acknowledge her and she clinches her fist, "What are you doing here?" She mutters out and you sigh.

"I'm here for Hunter and to get word on Leo.."

"You're here to wiggle your way into his life to hurt him again..that's all what you're doing."

You swallow hard at her words and you don't want to cause a fight here and now. Not while Leo's in a hospital bed. You step away from Hunter, "I should go.." his red eyes plead with you and you feel guilty for coming, for hurting him when you were scared. You feel tears coming to your own eyes and you move to walk away until his hand grabs yours.
