Hunter Hayes Imagines

Every Morning Kiss (sequel to previous)

(Your POV)
You've been working for Hunter for a few months now. Your mom is getting her medication and you are finally sleeping better. About 4 months in you come home to find your mother sleeping peacefully on the couch in your small one bedroom apartment, or you thought she was sleeping. You reach out to shake her awake and when your hand touches her arm she's stone cold. And you can't hear her breathing. Hurriedly you call 9-11 and the rest of the night passes in a blur. Around 3 in the morning Hunter comes rushing in to the ER. He spots you immediately and rushes over to you, hugging you.

"How is she?" He asks.

You shake your head into his shoulder. "I guess our job arrangement is off."

His grip tightens and you understand completely, he's seen death. He lost someone close to him as well. "You're not going anywhere. Don't think about that now." He says softly.

(Hunter's POV)
I hold her close, "Come on.." I help her up and lead her out to the parking lot.

"Hunter..what am I going to do?"

I frown, "We'll take it step by step, okay?" She nods and I sigh, opening the door for her. She slides in and I shut the door, heading to the driver's side. When I get in, I look at her. My heart breaks and I take her hand, "It's gonna be okay.."

"Promise?"

I nod, "I promise." I pull out and head towards my house. I know she must be tired and I don't want to leave her alone. If anything, I want to be her shoulder to cry on and be her support.

(Your POV)
Hunter is so sweet, offering up his room, helping you with your coat, settling you down on the couch. He calls Cole over and gets him to lay with you, so you can wrap your arms around his fury body as you try to sleep. Hunter looks at you with sad eyes, your heart is breaking. "Hunter," you ask, "what am I going to do without her?"

He reaches down and strokes your hair lightly, you pet Cole's side with the same tenderness. "Let's just get through tonight. Goodnight (y/n)."

"Goodnight." The tears come after Hunter turns off the light and Cole lifts his head and licks a tear off of your cheek. "Thanks buddy." You say quietly.

(Hunter's POV)
I sigh, walking downstairs to the couch. I grabbed a blanket and a pillow, thinking about (Y/n). She has gone though so much and now she has nobody left. Scratch that, she's got me. If anything she's got me. I can't believe someone so sweet and kind keeps getting hurt like this. I wish I could stop it. Overtime I had come to fall for the girl and I just want to protect her and love her, like she needs to be.

(Your POV)
In the morning Cole wakes you up by jumping off the couch. You squint your eyes, shielding them against the bright sunlight that shines directly in your face. You look at the time and find its half past 6. You get up and clean the mess you made from last night, it takes all of five minutes. Next you wander into the kitchen and pull out several ingredients to fix something for breakfast. You still feel numb and sick but Hunter has been so nice to you, the least you can do is make him breakfast. 8 rolls around and Hunter still hasn't made an appearance. You wonder if he's alright but don't know if you should check on him... But the pancakes are done and only going to get cold. You tip toe up to his room and lightly tap on the door. It opens slightly at your touch. "Hunter?" You call quietly.

(Hunter's POV) I woke up hearing someone calling my name and I opened my eyes to see (Y/n) standing at the door. She was beautiful in the morning as much as she was in the evening. I sat up, "What time is it?" She told me and my eyes widened, "Oh..I never meant to sleep this late.."

"It's okay..breakfast is done."

I smiled, "You didn't have to do that.."

"I wanted to." She smiled slightly and I smiled softly.
