Hunter

chapter 8:back to school

Veronica's POV.

So everything's good now my dad apologized, my mom is still is worried that I'll leave but that don't happen. I miss hunter I tried to text him but he hasn't replied.

It's Monday morning, I just got done with my shower. I decided I'm going to wear a black high waisted skirt with a white crop-top, and my chuck taylors. Grabbing my denim jacket on the way out.

Its supposed to be cool today.

I arrive at school. A few minutes early. I park next to a familiar motorcycle.

Hunter.

He's here that's his car! I need to talk to him. I need to talk to my boyfriend.

I walk to my first class. Gym, I actually like this class we always play soccer or have free time. The bell rings signaling everybody needs to be in class.

This class I don't have with my friends so I can focus on working out.

"mr.walker can I go in the workout room?" He nods and gives me the keys. I'm usually the only one up there which I love.

I turn the key slowly. The lights are already on. The back lights are, those lights are by the punching bag and the weights.

I see a tall figure in the back punching the 'punching bag'. It was a male figure. Who would Mr.walker let up here alone, even a boy?

I place my water bottle on the table and walk towards the boy with no shirt on still punching the bag. He has bandages rapped around his knuckles, he was sweating really bad. He has on headphones so he can't hear my footsteps.

I tap him on the shoulder. He turns so quickly it makes me fall to the floor on my bottom.

"Im so sorry I didnt-" he cut himself off. Its hunter. Omg!

"hunter.." I whispered. He reaches for my hand. He pulls me to my feet. He snakes his arm around my waist and pulls me close. I lift my hand and slap him across the face and step away.

"what the fuc-" I cut him off.
"how could you leave me like that!!!?? You said you wouldn't leave!!!" I started to tear up. I was lied to again. He gave me an apologetic look.
"Baby, I'm sorry I thought my dad was dead, than he shows up at your house! How is that possible he lied to me he hurt my back and he knows my moms name!!! I'm so sorry I had to leave!!! I couldn't be there, I know I shouldn't have left you but I couldn't stay there!! Ver, baby I'm so so sorry..babe please forgive me.." He looked so mad and sad and hurt all at one time. I knew I had to accept his apology.

"Its okay baby..just don't leave me again okay?" He nods. And pulls me into his arms.

I hug him so tight. My boyfriend in my arms.

"lets work out okay?" He smiles and nods.

I go to the treadmill and start to run. He stops the machine and looks at me with a huge smile.

"what?" I ask.
"come here.." He says while pulling me towards the punching bag.
"what are we-" he stops me by placing a finger on my lips.
"punch me." He says so calmly.
I punch him in the chest. He looks at me with sadness.

"babe, that's sad." He giggles.
I punch him again putting more force into it this time. He steps back from my awesome-really-super-punch. I chuckle.

*********

We've had all of our classes together so far. Except chemistry, which was before lunch. He said he'll find me at lunch.

I hope so.

I go and sit with my friends at my table. Mark,Chloe, Caleb and avelina. I sit next to avelina.

"so what happened?" Mark asks.
"Babe I heard about your dad you okay?" Chloe asks. I nod.
"I just don't want to talk about it.." I sighed.

My friends were always by my side.

****

It's time for lunch. I grab my food and sit at my table with my friends. I start to eat wondering where hunter is.

Then I see him running unto the boys bathroom. "what's wrong Ronnie?" Caleb asks.

I run into the boys bathroom following hunter.

I hear him puking. I lock the door behind me. So no other boys can come in.

"hunter?"
"get out babe," he says so sweetly. I walk over to the door open it and closed making sure it took a long time to close.

I stood there silently so he couple hear me and he couldn't see my feet so.

"shit! Ughh!! Fuck me!!" He yells. I hear him grab something that sounded like pills.

A phone rang and it was mine.

Shoot.

"babe... why didn't you leave like I asked...?" He asks. I walk over to his stall and knock pushing the for open he doesn't lock it.

He was hunched over the toilet with a bottle of looks in one hand and beer in the other.

Oh my. His eyes were red and puffy and he had a strong smell of weed and achohol on him.

"Its not what you think babe," he says.
