I shut the door and turned around to find my dad waiting in the living room with a room full of police. My dad ran up to me and gave me a big hug and said, "I am so glad you are okay. I thought you were gone."
I was so confused about why he was being so weird. I had only been gone for six or seven hours and I told him before. "What do you mean daddy? I was just with Hunter and I told you I was leaving."
"You did not, at least I didn't hear. I'm so disappointed in you," he turned to the police and said, "I'm sorry for wasting your time. As you can see, she is fine."
The police were leaving my house and they all gave me dirty looks and told me to be more careful. My dad waited until the last one left and then started yelling at me, "Julia, I had no idea where you were! I thought you were kidnapped or taken or worse. I'm sorry for yelling. You said you were with Hunter? The boy next door?"
"Yeah. It was wonderful, I had an amazing time. I'm sorry I made you worry."
He looked at me with a pained expression in his face, "what about Jonathan?" My dad loved Jonathan as much as I did. He was like a son he never had.
"I don't wanna talk about it right now. Where is my room? I want to sleep."
My dad led to my room and gave me a kiss goodnight. I had layed down in bed and looked at my phone and saw seven messages from Hunter and one message from Jonathan. I plugged may phone in and turned on do not disturb. I couldn't handle this right now.
-------
I woke up when I heard my alarm going off. The second after my alarm went off, my phone started ringing. It was Jonathan. He knew what time I woke up but there is a three hour time difference so he woke up at four to call me. I reluctantly answered and said as cheerful as I could, "hey babe. How are you?"
"No. How are you? Your dad called me last night after you called me and told me that you were missing and the police were over. Where were you?"
Shit. What was I gonna tell him??? "Oh, umm I was with a friend. I met him yesterday."
"I booked a plane ticket as soon as your dad told me. I am in an uber on the way to your house. See you soon. Love you."
I hung up. He cared about me enough to book a plane ticket when he thought I was in trouble, while I couldn't even remember he existed last night. I read the messages that Hunter sent me last night and I sent him a message,
"Hey. Sorry about last night. The cops were here and I was so tired. I had an amazing time though and I hope we can hang out again soon. Please come over as soon as you get this I have something I need to tell you."
About thirty seconds later I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I opened the door wondering if it was Hunter or Jonathan, but it was Hunter. I told him to sit down on my bed and that I would be right back. I opened the find my friends app to see where Jonathan was. He was twenty minutes away without traffic but there was major traffic, so he would be here in an hour. I have one hour to explain things to Hunter. I walked back in and sat down on my bed next to Hunter as he pulled me in for a hug. He smelled the same as he did last night. His cologne was amazing.
"What's up Julia? Why were there cops here?"
"My dad didn't know where I was and freaked out. It was my fault. Anyway I need to tell you something," I took a deep breath and just spit it out, "I have a boyfriend."
Hunter looked at me with the saddest face and I could tell he was disappointed. "Why didn't you tell me? I thought we had something. The kiss last night was the best one I have ever had in my entire life."
"Listen, we do have something. I really like you," as I said this a tear rolled down my face because I was such a horrible person. Hunter wiped the tear off of my face and pulled me in tighter. He told me it was okay and that he understands if we can't be together. I told him that Jonathan was in an uber to come visit and that he would be here in 45 minutes. He laid down in my bad and I laid down next to him in his arms and fell asleep. We both woke up to the doorbell ringing. He was here! What do I do? "Hunter, hide in my closet. Don't come out till I open the door."
I ran downstairs and opened the front door. Jonathan pulled me in and kissed me. "I missed you Julia. I love you."
"I love you too. How about we make some lunch and catch up?"
"That would be amazing. I'm starving. It was a red eye and I didn't sleep a bit. But it's worth it to see you."
When I heard that, I started bawling and fell to the floor. Jonathan looked at me really confused and asked me what was wrong.
"I don't deserve you. I need to talk to you about something."
Johnny picked me up from the ground and sat down on the couch and had me sit with him. "What is it baby? You haven't cheated already have you," he laughed but then he realized that I hadn't denied it and I immediately saw the pain in his face. He started yelling, "YOU HAVEN'T CHEATED HAVE YOU?? I TRUSTED YOU. I CANT BELIEVE YOU. I FLEW ALL THE WAY HERE WHILE YOU WERE WITH SOMEONE. I NOTICED YOU SMELLED WIERD. IS IT HIS COLOGNE?!"
He stood up and lifted me off the couch and started shaking me back and forth as he yelled. When he finished talking he threw me to the ground. I stuck out my arm and yelped as I hit the ground. My arm snapped. When he realized what he did he started crying and said he was sorry.
In between tears I explained everything. How I met him, our Starbucks date, the movie, the uber ride home, and finally the kiss. I saw a wild spark in Jonathan's eyes and he stood up and started screaming, "YOU SLUT. YOU ARE A WHORE AND I CANT BELIEVE I LOVED YOU. I AM GONNA KILL YOU AND HIM."
He picked me up over his head, purposefully grabbing my broken arm and threw me onto the ground. I screamed at him telling him to stop. I begged him to just leave and I won't press charges. When I said this, he picked me up again and threw me against the wall. My head hit it and everything went black.
